Lately, Twilight has been developing some unfamiliar...feelings for a certain white-furred fashionista in Ponyville. And, judging by Rarity's rather flirtatious manner, she feels the same way. But Twilight has never been in love before. And from what she's heard, falling in love is a little like dying. You don't come out of it the same pony you went in. A part of you is lost forever. Is that really what she wants?

My entry for Monochromatic's "Interwoven Colours" contest.

Decorating Golden Oak Library for the holiday season was never Twilight's favourite thing to do, but her friends have kindly offered to lend a hoof. Things would be going much faster, however, if Rarity hadn't found Sunset Shimmer's fake crown buried inside a box of decorations.

A short RariTwi fluff written while taking a breather from working on other stories. Based on a headcanon a friend told me on Skype which I had to make into a fic, because cute headcanons are my one weakness.

In a world where she sees from a distorted perspective, all Twilight Sparkle can do is cling to the one pony she knows will never let her down: her teacher, the princess... no matter which princess her addled brain tells her that is. Twilight's used to rewriting letters, but when she's the one being rewritten, she finds the sensation to be altogether different.

Many thanks must go to my awesome editors, Varanus, Ebon Mane, shortskirtsandexplosions, Seattle_Lite, and Nick Nack.

Princess Celestia has had feelings for her faithful student for some time that go beyond a scholastic admiration. Imagine her sorrowful surprise when she receives a letter from Twilight detailing her foray into the world of romantic relationships, one that takes a sharp down-turn for the worse. It's up to Twilight's long-time mentor and friend to repair the anguish brought upon by a careless and, for all intents and purposes, faceless colt, who was too daft to appreciate somepony the princess would give anything to be with.

(Though tagged "sad", it's not that much. It's certainly a little sarcastic at times, though I wouldn't call it "comedy" per say.)

[Heavily inspired by Never Too Late by Three Days Grace.]
When Luna dreamwalks and discovers just how much hurt and anger Twilight is hiding, along with a few dark secrets, she feels she must intervene, before Twilight heads down the same path she herself did.

WARNING: First chapter has a suicide attempt, the following chapters are dealing with the aftermath of said suicide attempt.

This is a retelling and extended version of the Canterlot Wedding with a couple new original characters who will take the story down a different and darker path.

The lives of Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Shining Armor, Spike, and the Mane Five have gone downhill. They all reflect on the events that led to their situation. The changelings were beaten but the wedding was cancelled. Prince Jewelius, another nephew of Celestia and younger cousin of Cadance, holds all of them responsible for the disaster. He then has the three princesses removed from power and all ten of them exiled from Equestria while he takes the throne for himself. With the fate of Twilight Sparkle unknown, the group of outcasts decide to return to Equestria to find their beloved unicorn friend and earn back their lives. But Jewelius is determined to get rid of them no matter the cost.

Several years had passed after Tirek's defeat and everypony is preparing for this year's Summer Sun Celebration. But Twilight is not feeling well. Several nightmares are haunting her, she has got bad headaches and a really mad mood. Although Spike and the others tell her to go and fetch help, she refuses. But when some dark incidents and curses happen, Twilight realices too late, they had walked into a trap and it has snapped behind them. For the foe is inside of her and preparing her last and final strike. To turn the celebration into a true nightmare.

Chrysalis is sick of Twilight always getting in the way of her plans. So sick of it, in fact, that she's willing to do anything in her power to stop Twilight from stopping her. She'll even go so far as to fall in love with her greatest foe.

Following the return of the Crystal Empire, Twilight begins some intensive research into the history of the Empire and its late king. Modern historians know next to nothing about the enigmatic dark mage. Who was he? Did he have family? Loved ones?

The answers to those questions changes everything the Element of Magic knows about herself, and in doing so catches the attention of a shadow that yet clings to the frailty of life...

Twilight Hustle - Rarity's heard some steamy rumors about Twilight and gathers the girls to dish juicy gossip.

All the World’s a Stage - Luna had a wonderful evening with Twilight and sang her heart out about it. Oh, and she might have left the door open.

Every Morning After - Twilight and Luna shared a wonderful, magical night; unfortunately, immortal Princesses sometimes forget about thousand-year-old laws which could ruin the mood ever so slightly.
