It has been a twelve hundred years since my best friends died and one year since my royal adivisor died. One morning, I started to hear a voice similar to mine. This voice is the same as mine, but more malign, tyrannical. And the voice asks me to let my anger take control of me. And after what I'm feeling, I don't see why I shouldn't accept it. Because after all, I already lost those I loved...

Overwhelmed by her new duties as a princess, a newly-crowned Twilight Sparkle seeks solace within the quiet confines of Canterlot Castle's royal archives, where she discovers a book she'd never seen before. Within its pages was a story about both Princess Celestia and Starswirl the Bearded, as well as a mare that Twilight had never heard of.

Details of their lives, their history, and their relationships puzzle, intrigue, and even worry Twilight. The more she read, the more curious she became and the more questions that arose. But there was only one question to which she truly sought the answer:

Who was Sunset Shimmer?

Even though she's meeting him for the first time, it's the last time he'll ever see her. For Derpy though, it's the first meeting that will stem many adventures with him. Not knowing what's in store for her future, but moving boldly ahead against all warnings, can her fate be changed? Can her future change her present? Or will every action lead to the same eventual end?

the doctor has been traveling with derpy for a while now and somehow gets pulled to a different timeline one he did not think was possible.

After Twilight saved Equestria from Storm King along with her friends, she feels sorry for lying to her friends and mostly screaming at Pinkie Pie. But she isn't the only one who wants to apologize.

Snails and Twist were your average, everyday ponies. They were schoolmates. They were friends. But each one had a secret that they kept from each other. They both loved each other. However they didn't want to ruin their friendship, so each kept it to themselves.

But, when Twist moved away, Snails found it hard to fight his feeling anymore (though he could never speak them aloud). After being apart for four years, the two reunite at the prestigious Canterlot High. Will these two ponies be able to share their feelings that they kept hidden so long ago?

Many thanks to Telepony for editing. And The Notebook for being my co-writer.

Queen Chrysalis and her changeling army have been defeated but it came at a price as Twilight Sparkle hurt and betrayed by her brother, friends, and mentor for abandoning them runs away only to loss her life after an unfortunate accident occurred on the way home.
Shortly afterwards, a new mysterious unicorn comes to town trying to settle down in Equestria yet unbeknownst to any pony she secretly has sinister plans up her hooves with a hidden agenda to take over Equestria.

Spike was always different from other dragons. Sure, he still had many of the standard abilities of a dragon (such as flame breath and really tough scales), but he also liked reading more than other dragons did and didn't enjoy many of the same activities that gave other dragons pleasure. He was also adept in the field of alchemy. His only friend growing up was the Dragon Lord's daughter Ember.

Now, however, he has a chance to find out WHY he is different from other dragons, even if it means saying goodbye to his only friend. However, if he isn't like any other dragon, then what is he like?

Is there another out in the world like him or is he truly alone?

If he isn't alone, then where will this new path take him?

Many adventures with new friends and dangerous new enemies will give him the chance to find out, for better or for worse.

The only way to see where he will end up is to keep moving forward and never look back.

He has been hunting a Unicorn named Rusty Tom (who is the kingpin of the Frozen North's black market) over a personal score but after Twenty years is still no closer to catching him. Enjoy Spike`s adventure while he looks for Tom.

Tirek is gone and so is the library, but Twilight Sparkle can't stop thinking about them. Is she playing the part she wants to play? Are her desires all the same as her mentor's? Has ascension truly helped her to spread the magic of friendship? To answer these questions she must turn to her friends, her mentor, and a more uncertain source: her heart.
