In the Everfree forest, one of the Princess' of Equestria take's a class of fillies and colts to learn about the past and its hero's. There they discover that legends often replace the original story.
(A quick one shot story I came up with, which I think is starting to evolve in my head. There may be more...)

Twilight Sparkle has always known her parents. Twilight Velvet and Moon Catcher. But if they aren't her true parents? Say goodbye to her current reality. Follow Twilight as she earns the crown, and meets challenges on the way.

Rated Teen for Violence in later chapters (these also explain the Dark tag.)
Alternate Universe for the fact that Twilight has different parents.
Romance for a little TwiDash that will be pretty light until The Sole Ruler-The Epilogue will be pretty romantic too.
Despite the two ominous tags, it is quite light save three chapters (Melding the Crowns, Darkness, and The Elements)
Art is not mine.

This is the story of the end. This is the story of the death of Equestria. It is the story of the reign of her royal majesty, Princess Twilight Sparkle of the Fading Sun.

The alicorn sisters are dead and Equestria has turned to Twilight Sparkle to guide it. However, just maintaining a dim sun a fraction as bright as her mentor's keeps the new princess near her limits.

Years have passed and Twilight Sparkle is sure of only one thing. Equestria is dying.

NOTE: Written before "It's about Time" in season 2. Everything after "Read it and Weep" was ignored throughout this story.

Luna feels neglected. Rising the moon during the night is an important task, and belonging to the royal family alone is noteworthy. Despite these things, she still feels as if her older sister, Celestia, still does not fully trust her. Many times before she has tried to catch her attention, but it was merely brushed off; at least, until Luna's attitude starts to take a turn once more.
The older of the two is far from oblivious, and upon getting Luna to spit out what has been bothering her, she gives her the chance to really test her own view on her level of responsibility.

Princess Celestia huffed as she flew as fast as she could to the meeting place, located in Cloudsdale, a little ways above and near Ponyville. She held the bundle she was carrying with extreme caution with a face of desperation, determined to get it there on time.

Her small alicorn form landed on the nearest cloud before looking behind her, seeing a small rainbow light coming right behind her, following her trail.

"Shoot," she muttered before running forward again. She huffed loudly as she ran through the dark streets of the mobile city made of condensed water vapor that will never fall. The princess of the Sun looked down at the bundle in her right hoof as it began to move before looking back up again.

Soon, after mixing her trail, she arrived at the meeting place, where two ponies, a stallion and a mare, were waiting patiently.

"She is on my trail," Princess Celestia huffed as she came to a stop in front of them. "You know what you must do." The stallion nodded quickly before she continued. "Same hair color. Make it work for as long as you can, no matter what."

"Of course," he said desperately.

"All you have to do is make sure she is happy," the princess told the mare. "Make sure she lives her life and suspects nothing. I will return when she is ready for the truth of her origin and purpose."

"Yes, your highness," the mare responded. Celestia nodded before hearing the faint roar of her pursuer coming closer. She looked back down and lifted the covers to reveal a small foal asleep, snuggled against the softness of the blanket. She smiled as a tear escaped her eye before she leaned down and kissed the foals forehead, nuzzling her rainbow colored mane.

"I will return, my daughter. My Rainbow Dash."

(Currently in the midst of starting off the series. If I work hard enough, the story will be finished as early as by the end of next month!)

How can this be true? When the sun was later in rising than it should have been, Princess Luna became concerned for her older sister. No pony had seen her since Princess Cadance and Shining Armor's reception had ended late the night before. However when Luna went to urge the moon down hoping to nudge Celestia into completing the cycle, her magic brushed against an aura she had hoped and prayed to never glimpse again.

Had her inability to protect the ponies she cares so deeply for, driven Princess Celestia to do... The unthinkable?

Several years after returning to Equestria, Luna spends most nights isolated in her room with only her tomes and music for company. Her sister began to notice a growing sadness from her loneliness, and together with Princess Cadence they decide to try and search for a consort to cheer up the Mare of the Moon.

The commotion of this decision catches the attention of Discord, who can't help but be thrilled with the idea of "helping" his favourite two alicorns get together.

For most changelings, their life is simple. So simple, they are often not given a name. Manipulated by the Hive Queen via the Hive Mind, they are oblivious to many things.

After a failed invasion, Chrysalis tries something new by sending a changeling to adopt a false identity and infiltrate Equestria. However when he assumes an identity he shouldn't have, he unknowingly brings darker motives into play and now terrible truths must be revealed.

Caught between two worlds–the illusion he's been fed by the Queen he loves, and the reality supported by Ponykind–he must decide what is really best for the Hive and its members.

Whether or not he can obtain that is a different matter entirely.

First all the birds disappear, then Opal goes missing. Winona's head is found in the fields, and then cows are found in pieces. The next day, Zecora comes running into town, screaming in terror! Something has come to Ponyville. And it is out for blood. No pony is safe. Can the Mane 6 stop the threat? Or will it kill them first?

This is my first FiMfic. Please feel free to comment and edit. I only ask that you be nice about it. The creature is my own creation, and I hope it thrills you all!
