This story is part of the First and Only Raritwi Bomb. A week's worth of stories and art all centered around Rarity and Twilight. If you liked it, the previous story posted is Prise de Mare by Nonchalant, and you can find a master list of all Raritwi Bomb content Here.

Inspired by the Bodyguard!AU Series, based on Earthsong9405's AU where Twilight is the bodyguard to a "Princess/Queen Rarity".

When Pinkie Pie discovers she doesn't know Sunset's birthday, and none of her other friends know either, she sets out to get some answers. Those answers are very confusing.

This story is a sequel to The Black Moon Howls

After a vicious struggle in the world of SCP: Containment Breach, Mena has escaped with her freedom and her life. However, she has escaped into a world that has been torn apart thanks to a series of wars between evils.

With only SCP-173 and SCP-1762 by her side thanks to an unknown power, can she survive in this world and find a way out?

Only one way to find out.

Cover Art

Successful mares who aren't princesses tend to be treated with double standards. The ice cold archetype of a mare who is so power hungry she gives up everything for her career is one, the stigma of single mothers not being enough for their children is another.

Stellar Flare has smashed all the stereotypes, and is proud of it.

Inspired by the song "The Man" by Taylor Swift.

Mike Johns, or Autum Breeze, as he was known online, was your average MLP fanfic writer, in essence, your regular brony, even had all but two of the episodes of MLP season 4 (episode 4 and episode 13). That was his life. Normal and good.

That was, however, until Discord needed him for something and took him to Equestria without asking. Now, without a way home, can Autum learn to accept her new life as Scootaloo?

Starlight Glimmer had always been a difficult pony.

She's getting better, though! Really! Three years of living with the Princess of Friendship, one of the most beloved ponies in Equestria, is bound to rub off on a mare. Though Starlight continues to grapple with her insecurities and past mistakes, she never would have presumed she'd be free of the guilt - as it should be.

Yet over the years, she's come into her own as a devoted, passionate, and empathetic friend (despite a few bumps here and there).

But one day, like any other, a strange illness befalls Princess Twilight Sparkle. Starlight is driven to a foal's storybook for answers. Armed with her magic and faith, the ex-student follows a crumb trail leading to one reclusive group dwelling in the heart of an otherworldly bog. If there was any salvation for the pony who'd saved Starlight, it lay solely with them. Except when the time comes for payment to be collected, what's left behind is picked up by Twilight and her friends.

And Starlight doesn't want them to. For how can something so broken be put back together? She'd much rather save them all the trouble...

Edit: The story is currently cancelled due to inactivity after a few years. However, I'm currently contemplating rebooting the story at some point, so any comments and suggestions on what you like/dislike would be appreciated.

It's been several months since the Alicorn Amulet incident, and much has changed for the Great and Powerful Trixie. Her reputation damaged once again, she continues on with her magic act, determined to try and turn over a new leaf. With Twilight Sparkle now an alicorn princess, however, Trixie finds herself plagued with nightmares and a renewed sense of jealousy. Sympathetic to the mare's feelings, which mirror ones she once held long ago, Princess Luna decides to intervene.

It's been nine years since Twilight's ascension, and her relationship with her friends has never been stronger. While many things have changed about their respective lives, Twilight and her friends remain very close.

Unfortunately, their heroism will need to be called upon again, but this time, they may not be enough. The Nightmare Moon Incident had one more complication, one final loose end. One pony, thought forever lost to the passage of time, returns. And she will have her mother free... or die trying.
