A man comes across a filly, however she's not one of the Mane Six.

Sometimes life plays games with you. Everything you felt was important to you is taken and your past seems to have more stark moments of things you'd rather forget. Living alone and battling your own demons seems to be the only thing you have to look forward to. However, one night while walking home in the middle of a freak late summer storm in the middle of the night, something happened. Something terrifying. Something wonderful. Something unexpected.

It's an old trope, not a fresh idea, but this is a story about me and My Little Chryssie...

Well, this is... annoying. I've been brought to Equus, and Celestia seems intent on trying to teach me about friendship. Well, I'm not interested. However, it would seem getting home isn't gonna be so easy. Well, I'm not gonna let that stop me. I am gonna get back home, no matter what!

This story is a sequel to The Last Cutie Mark Crusader

The Great Timberwolf War ended with an armistice, leaving Equestria a ravaged and scarred land. Rising from the ashes of the conflict, former adversaries strove to rebuild together in a new bond of peace.

In order to secure a lasting future for both ponies and changelings alike, Princess Twilight Sparkle enlisted one of her trusted subjects with a daring task: to take an old enemy under her wing and if possible, befriend him.

This assignment, potentially the first of many similar arrangements, promised to set the stage for all prisoners of war to be released and usher in a time of healing. The directive, widely criticized as being nothing more than an impossible dream, became commonly known as The Friendship Initiative.

...

The Sex tag is for flirting, innuendo, and discussion of species specific mating practices. The violence is fairly tame, but some characters spar frequently and there is an incident of domestic/family violence. There is also some use of alcohol.

This story is a sequel to Awaiting her Title

Ever since Twilight Sparkle gained her cutie mark, a particularly magical event that she still barely remembers, a small scribble has been barely visible on her fetlock. A First Words Soulmate Mark. As time marched on, those very words ever so slowly became clearer. It is on the eve of her big brother's wedding that she hears those words spoken... by his fiance.

But that should be impossible, right? His fiance was her childhood foalsitter, wasn't she? Twilight has clear memories of their time together. Plus, wasn't Cadance already her brother's soulmate? She'd never heard of one pony having multiple soulmates before. On top of all that, the first words she had heard from Cadance absolutely weren't a coldly delivered "Hope I'm not interrupting anything important." This needs to be investigated...

Changelings feed on love. Ponies have a Princess of Love. Even though she failled at the Canterlot wedding, evil plans are worth trying again.

Chrysalis wants to steal Cadance's identity again.

Cadance insists that she do a better job of it. This time, she will not stand for sub par acting.

Shining has secretly befriended a certain Queen of the Changelings.

Turns out she's just a harmless nerd.

Now if only his family and friends would put down the torches and pitchforks.

"What's beneath the love? The embittered heart." -Queen Chrysalis

The future casts a dark shadow on the Equestrian continent. Far up north, the Crystal Empire is on the verge of becoming a slave of Sombra’s eternal tyranny. To the northeast, Stalliongrad quickly industrializes on its military might, insuring a communistic conquest towards the continent and beyond. And most importantly Changeling hives unite under Chrysalis’ flag with the goal to establish their Hegemony over the world.

A decade has passed since her defeat at Canterlot, her yearn for revenge grew ever more, but patience is a virtue, Chrysalis has learned. No matter how smart or convoluted her plans are, it's just not enough. The power of "friendship" always wins the day. But changelings are adaptable creatures, with enough time and resources nothing can stop the changeling war machine. No power in the world can stop the ravages of total war.

In the waning days of the Crystal Empire, three young students come together in an unlikely alliance: a King, a Princess... and a Queen... who has little reason to like either of the other two...

Given how readily King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, and Radiant Hope teamed up as allies in the Siege of the Crystal Empire, what might have happened if they'd actually formed that alliance a long time ago?

Note: as usual, I treat the comic storylines as an excellent starting point and reference, but not as absolute canon.

Discord breaks a promise, and Chrysalis is not happy about it. She wants to give him a piece of her mind.

Twilight Sparkle and her best friends are in deep trouble... yesterday.

Starlight Glimmer's been holding onto a secret for a long time now. Her old villainous days of messing with Starswirl the Bearded's spell alerted an alternate dimension full of shape-shifting monsters, and now this malevolent faction from beyond seeks to send their minions back in time to the first year of Twilight's stay in Ponyville in order to consume the magic of harmony. So, to secure the timeline and save the multi-verse, Starlight has devised a plan to project herself back several years and play bodyguard for the Elements of Harmony.

There's only one problem. Her great and powerful best friend steps in during the execution of the spell. Now both Trixie and Starlight are stuck back in time—fused magically to the same physical avatar—with an incredibly difficult mission to accomplish during the first year of Twilight's friendship lessons. Can the two time-displaced mares work together to thwart an alternate dimension's meddling? Or will they fail and hoof the future over to chaos? Even worse—will they get too relaxed with the comforts of the past and miss an opportunity to be heroes?
