"Except our own thoughts, there is nothing absolutely in our power." -Descartes

Fluttershy and Discord have become very good friends lately.

Now if only she could convince him that she's not in his imagination...

When the Cutie Mark Crusaders dig up an ancient magical artifact, they unleash a spell on the town that allows everypony to see a "lie meter" floating above each other's heads. While attempting to solve the mystery, Twilight Sparkle has to analyze the tenuous balance between friendship and honesty. She doesn't like what she finds.

“Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria, there were two regal sisters who ruled together.” So begins a tale with which we are all familiar; a story about six friends and their adventures, both fantastic and mundane. But what if...

What if Twilight Sparkle didn't earn her royal status by merit, but by revolution? Why would she do it? What could have caused her to turn against her mentor? How would she rule Equestria, now that it is in her hooves? This gives us a brief look into the throne room of the newly-crowned Queen Twilight Sparkle.

At 3:15 AM, Adams woke me with a loud knock on my front door.
"Put your boots on," he said when I answered. "There's a biblical monster in my house."

Princess Twilight Sparkle, in a bout of anger, flips a table.

This quickly escalates.

Now with a Youtube reading!

Rainbow Dash's latest flying routine was interrupted by a sudden mountain, and Twilight can hardly sleep at night. No pony should be this excited to play with necromancy.

Chrysalis has kidnapped Celestia, so she has Twilight Sparkle right where she wants her!

And Celestia really doesn't want to hear about it.

A bit of silliness that I wrote in about four hours, trying to get rid of a writers block.

Coco Pommel simply could not stand it any longer.

This is a stream-of-consciousness look into a possible way events transpired just before the end of "Rarity Takes Manehattan." It is also a look into the mind of someone who perhaps cannot think terribly rationally all the time.

Set in the 'Youngverse'

Whilst playing with his favorite toy, Dorian, Discord overhears some local colts talking about something he doesn't understand. Like any child, he asks his parents about it and what was a seemingly normal day for Eris and Entropy is shattered with a single question.

Now with a YouTube reading! Big thanks to The Architect for doing so!

Twilight Sparkle is aware that the manipulation of matter at the sub-atomic level is a potential source of enormous amounts of free energy. She also knows that this is extremely dangerous, and that these spells are only for the highest level unicorns. She is therefore somewhat concerned to discover that Pinkie Pie has found another way to do this, with a curious contraption in the basement of Sugarcube Corner.
