Starswirl the Bearded is a powerful wielder of magic, who for many years has safeguarded the realm of Equestria. From treating different nations, teaching the princesses, to facing horrible magical creatures of the land, he has seen it all. However, on one fateful day, his life would change. During a raid against trappers he discovered three small children and he knew of what they are. Knowing the risk they would bring he knew what dangers they possessed to Equestria.

Yet, how could he do his duty for his country when they were the last of their kind?

The TARDIS, decides she has had enough of the Doctor's moping, and she wants an adventure. What could be better than travelling through the void to a more interesting universe! However, she runs into a snag.
Stuck as a pony of some type, and without her powers of timetravel, how will she survive in this world?
Especially with the natives at war and being particular unhelpful.
A fourth dimensional being like herself will fit in just fine. Right?

Twilight for a time. Twilight for a spell. Twilight for a time spell. A story about Twilight stuck in ancient Equestria.

This story is a sequel to Unicorns and Dragon Eggs (or Ember’s Mother Conspiracy)

Twilight was supposed to present a spell that would revolutionize Equestria. Instead, she uncovered secrets that the world—and Trixie—hoped would remain hidden.

This story is a sequel to The Princess that Equestria Never Had

Although this fic is listed as a sequel, you won't be missing anything if you read this fic without reading Never Had.

After traveling through time to stop Starlight Glimmer from changing the course of history, Princesses Celestia and Luna give Twilight Sparkle the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to study under Star Swirl the Bearded himself! Nothing can go wrong with such a powerful time travel spell in such capable hooves. Twilight knew there was something familiar about Clover the Clever when she read the Journal of the Two Sisters, but she never knew exactly how familiar.

7/4/20 UPDATE: After attending a panel from my friend Vivid Syntax I've decided to mark this story as "complete" and start a new story for the rest of Twilight's time as Clover the Clever. More details in a blogpost.

Sometimes, the meaning of a cutie mark isn't obvious. What does a bunch of stars have to do with being great at magic, after all?

For the most part, Twilight Sparkle never paid much mind to this question. A lot of cutie marks are abstract, after all. But while browsing the Star Swirl the Bearded wing of the Canterlot Archives, she finds an old book with a cover that matches her cutie mark perfectly.

Inside that dusty old tome, Twilight finds the secrets of a bygone age, answers to questions she never would have asked, and a terrifying vision of what could have happened to her.

Fluttershy is quite the expert on creatures of all shapes and sizes, including ponies. So, as you can imagine, the sight of a walking talking skeleton pony with an afro might give her pause.

This story is a sequel to Luna's Bump

Princess Luna is having her foal.

The best medical staff are at hoof to ensure a safe delivery that can be celebrated across Equestria, but there is one more surprise left.

This story can be continued further to Luna's Tryst.

After devastatingly losing her battle against Starlight Glimmer in the Season 5 Finale, Princess Twilight Sparkle is shunned from true reality and must learn to live in the ways of this alternate dimension. In that dimension, she finds a banged-up Nightmare Moon huddling in some bushes, bleeding badly. Twilight has a great idea, and so she takes in Nightmare Moon as both a "daughter" and a pupil, raising her to be the best she can, making sure she won't try taking over the world (even though she was Nightmare Moon). However, both ponies must face serious challenges. Will they make it? Will Twilight be killed somehow by Nightmare, or will Nightmare's reign last forever once she finally achieves it?
