Faded Memory: The Rise and Fall of Sombra

Equestria's heroes have been captured, and its three greatest enemies are on the cusp of victory. But while his cohorts plan their next move, Tirek, the oldest of their number, goes to one prisoner in particular. A stallion he has wanted to speak with for a very long time.

Twilight Sparkle has been abandoned.

After an expedition into the badlands is torn to tatters by an unprecedented monster attack, Twilight finds herself stranded in a hostile environment with no safe way back home. With no supplies and no survival training, It all seems hopeless for the scholarly unicorn until she is discovered by a type of creature she has never seen before. A changeling named Thorax, a native of the badlands.

With Thorax's knowledge of the environment, he is Twilight's best chance of getting home safely. And by that same token, perhaps Twilight is the best chance the timid, pacifistic drone has of discovering something he has lived his entire life without.

Set well before the Season 2 Finale.

Cover art was drawn by me.

This is a spiritual successor to The Bug in The Herd, and The Bug in The Basement.

Princess Twilight Sparkle decided to settle down by asking her true love to marry her and "he" accepted her proposal. It's a great moment in the young Alicorn's life, and her friends are elated at their friend's news.

Except for one of them.

Discord, the Lord of Chaos, can't believe what's happening, and tries to talk some sense into the ponies. Too bad nopony will listen to him. Why is Discord trying to talk Twilight out of marrying her true love?

Her "true love" is a book! Yes, B-O-O-K, book!

Some realize that Trixie is not the first to bear the title of The Great And Powerful.

Few realize that it is less a title and more a curse.

The one who kills The Great And Powerful shall ever after be cursed to become The Great And Powerful.

On a related note, Twilight Sparkle is having a very bad week.

After King Sombra had returned and attacked the Crystal Empire, he captures Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, and Flurry Heart. Too weak to do anything themselves, Cadance and Shining had no choice but to wait for Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends to save them.

However, Sombra took a low blow by taking Flurry Heart and attacking the parental prides of Cadance and Shining. Princess Cadance took it especially hard.

King Sombra might want to start running...

Takes place in the season 9 premiere.

After an old friend introduces Pinkie Pie to a whole new sugar experience, she becomes seriously addicted to everything sweet. To overcome her problem, she joins a fitness group which successfully replaces her dessert obsession with an exercise obsession to her friends' dismay.

They desperately want the old Pinkie Pie back, however they are unaware that if she breaks her contract, she will be spirited away to the land of chaos and pandemonium for all eternity.

Necromancers. Sickly ponies bathed in cloaks of darkness, bringing ruin to all who fall under their shadow, terror to those who meet their gaze. Ripping the dead from the grave and conscripting them to their army of evil and conquest. Woe to the towns that dare draw their interest.

Such are the legends.

This is a story about one of the kindest ponies I know.

Spike isn't used to having so many girls interested in him! Or... any girls interested in him, to be honest. But now he has tickets to a big royal ball, and also a big decision to make. There are four ladies who seem to be crushing on him, but he can't decide who to take to the ball! So, he turns to the princess of love herself to help him out. Unfortunately, Princess Cadance's words of wisdom might not be the ones he wants to hear.

Warning: Contains a little mean-ness to Spike. But only a little.

Written as a commission for the wonderful Olden Bronie, who would be a great date to take to a royal ball. :)
