King Sombra, the tyrant of Crystal Empire is back, only to be imprisoned by princesses and put through reformation with Twilight Sparkle as his teacher. Can somepony with heart as black as night be reformed? Twilight believes so. Sombra in other hoof isn't so sure but something in that mare makes him try.

This is going to be one of my longest stories this far. Marked Teen for sexual innuendo and slightly gory-ish scenes. Nothing too bad though. Also this will not be a story that deserves a dark marking.

For now I'd like to thank Alun Aleriksson, pony of change, Microshazm and Sidetrack for helping with the grammar and overall writing in general. Thank you so much.

This story is a sequel to When Darkness Falls

King Sombra, the dark sorcerer and former ruler of the Crystal Empire, has been defeated by Twilight Sparkle and the other bearers of the Elements of Harmony, leaving him stripped of his magic and imprisoned deep below the surface of Canterlot Castle. There, he waits for his chance to take revenge against Princess Celestia and conquer Equestria, though his affection for both his long-lost daughter and the mare that he loves have him question everything that he knows. Can the shadow-pony learn forgiveness and mercy or will he let his deep-seated anger and desire for vengeance consume him?

Greed strengthens a dragon. But what of the opposite? Spike feels a little bit of himself broken away with each passing day as Rarity flaunts her newfound love with another stallion. But that's the least of his troubles. A formal gala for which he is the guest of honour quickly approaches. With the relationship between the Council of Friendship and the nobles of Equestria at stake, he is certain this gala could only end in a big political disaster. Enter Princess Luna, cunningly disguised as the sweet elegant mare by his side, intent on turning him from a laughingstock into the star of the show.

'We’re taken on an adventure, and if I dare say, we aren’t just told the damn story. We’re allowed to experience it. Spike has a moment, and I feel warmth. Luna tosses off the royal baggage, and I feel the feels. This is a great and glorious orchestration in romance...' - Wing

'Bravo! Bravo! ...I'm not into Romance stories because I don't really like them at all but this story here...This is my favorite!' - PlatinumPony

'I don't think I can accurately express how much I truly enjoy this story, right now. When the characters are happy, I'm happy. When they're not, I'm not. It's all so perfectly done that it's like I'm living the story instead of merely just reading it off a page. This already wins first place for most adorable story I have ever read...' - Drgnwolf

'Oh my Gods the feels! I smiled, laughed, got very angry and very sad all in one chapter! Please oh please complete this awesome tale soon! The suspense is killing me!' - Wiriamuzu

'I always wait until a story is finished before thinking about adding it to my favorites. Always. I have never added a story to my favorites before it's finished. This story is the one exception.' - Jomp

'Yeah. You just made a grown-ass man make a 'squee' sound.' - HoneyBadgerr

'Of all the stories I've read I can safely say that this is the one that best combines the written word with sound and music, there are plenty that have tried the same and not even come close to what you achive here.' - Lore

'This is the greatest story I have ever read. This is also now my favorite story. If you don't upload another chapter soon I will wait patiently until you do. I will climb mountains for this story. I will go to Disney Channel.com without my parents permission for this story. If i don't finish this story, i will write down in my will for someone to finish it for me. You, ascended pony writer from a land where the pigeons poop gold, are the greatest person in history.' - Blooming Cherries

'I am loving this story so far. The storytelling, the drama... oh it is so magnificent. A well crafted story by a well deserving author. I tip my hat to you sir. I can see some form of "Beauty and the Beast" in here. But what also surprises me is the way it is written. I've even had some moments of portraying Spike as Holden Caulfield from the famous story, The Catcher in the Rye. Just the way he speaks sort of reminds me of the way that poor man was, and the bits of Spike not wanting to detach from Rarity felt similar in the regards of Holden not wanting to grow up. Again, Pen Mightier, you have done a great job. Keep up the great work!' - XxEpsilonxX

'My cheeks hurt because I been smiling all the way down the chapter. Princess Luna really is the best pony.' - Allen Vth

This Hearts and Hooves Day, Twilight is alone.... Not that big of a shocker for her, but it's one that leaves her hurting inside, realizing that without her friends- she really hasn't properly grown anymore as a mare than that of a high-school filly. Well that changes, as an old friend of hers decides to stop by. The Town of Ponyville knows him as the nutty Clocksmith Inventor 'Time Turner', but Twilight knows better. She knows him far better- as 'The Doctor'.

This... Is a Romance of my own making, that I made in my spare time on Valentine's Day, to celebrate how I would like to see my OTP (Twilight Sparkle X Doctor Whooves) be written, if only a bit improperly by yours truly.

All views are my own, all Headcannons are my own- the story has no editor, and I wrote this for fun.....

So uh.... Leave Likes, Comment (creative ones? Or- you know- just any in general?) And uh, thanks for reading!

When Flash Sentry takes a break in one of the nap rooms, Tempest Shadow (Fizzlepop Berrytwist) discovers a how much the pegasus truly care about her.

Note: In this story, Flash Sentry is Captain of the Crystal Empire's Guards, succeeding Shining Armor, and Tempest Shadow (or Fizzlepop Berrytwist, as I've decided to use her real name in this story) is his right-hoof mare.

Pinkie never really considered herself to be beautiful. At least, not until Sombra told her so.

But, when she still doubts her own worth, she looks to Sombra for consolation and asks for something that just might tip the balance of how things are between the reformer and the reformee.

Takes place between chapters Four and Five of The Not-So-Normal Adventures of King Sombra and Pinkie Pie.

Eager to try new spells that only Alicorns can perform, Twilight Sparkle asks her assistant Spike to assist her. Little do they know that this is an unlikely age spell. How does the gang react? But more importantly, how does Twilight react?

Twilight Sparkle, a loyal soldier and messenger working under President Celestia - views the horrors of a civil war first-hoof. Along with accounts from her friends, the ponies of the former united Equestria have fallen into a brother-war that will devastate history as we know it. The viciousness that is one's fellow ponies is portrayed through the tormented battleground of the once beloved lands - cherished and tread upon by pegasus, earth pony and unicorn alike. But, underneath this supposed utopia was a festering ethnic tension that exploded at the end of the latest century. Twilight struggles to relate to her own innocence and the world of the past, when encountering the nightmarish reality that is now her home. Soon she learns that even the ugly villages, burn just as ugly. While the pretty ones - burn beautifully.

The Crystal Empire finds itself in the middle of property dispute when a representative from the north comes in, claiming that Equestria doesn't own the land. Who does? Canada, apparently.

Alternate universe tag because this is a world with Canada in it. Random tag because it's a bit silly.
