Twilight reads a book about literature and, analysing her world, decides that everything she does is planned by someone other than her.

She does not take it very well.

Rated Everyone for adult humour.

One life ends. Two lives will change forever. And a secret lost to history will finally be revealed.

Little Twilie uses legal work so she doesn't have to make a friend. Celestia is not amused.

Sequel: Chrysalis has a legal battle

Twilight Sparkle always preferred to work alone. She looked at group projects with disdain and co-presentations with disgust. They were excuses for others to shove off their workload on her.

But Twilight Sparkle was also smart. And smart people knew when they had to overcome their personal feelings for the greater good of the world. Which meant that she had to ask Sunset Shimmer - the girl who had yelled at her and made her cry yesterday after the Tri-Cross Relay - for help figuring out how to use her thice-damned Amulet, lest she lose control of it and the inadvertently make the entire world explode in a spectacular burst of lava.

Okay, maybe she was overreacting a bit. And Sunset probably wasn't that bad of a person. That said, she would still have to share her Noble Prizes and recognition.

But it didn't really matter, because she wouldn't be around Sunset Shimmer around for long anyway. Just a few experiments here and there. Give it a couple of weeks and their partnership would be over. Right?

Sunset and SciTwi start out trying to figure out how the Amulet works and win a couple of Nobel Prizes, but they end up discovering a whole lot about themselves on the way there.

alternate tag added because a lot of freaky shit is gonna go down

Twilight's relentless study of Pinkie's strange abilities leads to a horrifying revelation.

This site really needs an existential horror tag.

When Fluttershy finds herself growing fangs and sleeping upside-down, she decides she needs help. But is the solution being offered really what she needs?

Though her friends were disappointed, Twilight by her failed spell, Applejack by her apple theft, Rainbow Dash by her inability to gain cool fangs like Fluttershy’s, and Rarity by her unladylike dangling, nopony was really surprised. What surprised the little ponies, as always, was one Pinkamina Diane Pie.

It's time for Discord's weekly visit to Fluttershy's a day after the events of the episode "Bats!". So unknown to everypony, Fluttershy still will forcibly transform into FlutterBat every night. Discord takes it well, he can even tame the beast, much to Fluttershy's and everypony else's relief.

In no relation with the EQD's Writers Training Grounds #1 thingy that has been going on.

My version of Lauren Faust ending up in Equestria. I probably got her character all wrong. Hey, I never met her, cut me some slack.

So, Lauren Faust is Queen of Equestria in this story. How will she react? How will everypony else react? And what does Pinkie's chimicherrychangas have to do with all of this? One thing is clear already. For Twilight and her friends it won't be the same.

Added AU tag, 'cause someone mentioned it would be safe. And when I think about it, I don't think we ever get to learn who the princesses parents are.

Just a note, this is set during season two. So the events of "A Canterlot Wedding" haven't happened yet.

twilight goes back in time to save Equestria. By doing so, she accidentaly teleports the corpses of the mane six with her. They went back to the time where they met Chrysalis, because that's where it all went downhill. But her spell didn't only bring her back in time, it also replaced two creatures, switching from roles. If Chrysalis was now a good guy, who was the bad guy?
