A mirror between worlds shattered. A girl driven mad by power ripping holes between worlds. A spiteful mare traveling through time to get revenge. When the fabric of reality surrounding Equestria starts to come unraveled, it falls to Twilight to find a way to fix things.

Good thing she has a familiar face to help her. Several of that face, actually. An alicorn princess (canon Equestria), a human mechanical genius (Equestria Girls), a brilliant but irritable slacker of a unicorn (Reflections), a stallion no less intelligent or magically gifted than the rest (genderbent Equestria), and even a unicorn obsessed with Dark Magic, working together to save all of their worlds, by returning Harmony to the world they find themselves in.

A world where Nightmare Moon rules Equestria after sealing Celestia in the Moon, only to go to war with the Crystal Empire, against King Sombra and his Umbrum army. A world where Discord wrought havoc, until his powers were stolen by Lord Tirek, who rampages across both sides of the war indiscriminately. A world where even the ponies far from the fighting must constantly fear Changeling attacks. A world where Harmony is nothing but an empty dream.

A world where Twilight Sparkle never existed.

What could possibly go wrong?

Contains spoilers for the cartoon, comics, and movies.

While going to meet her new niece in the Crystal Empire, Twilight Sparkle discovered King Sombra's horn and nearly recovered essence in his study beneath the castle. Still weakened, he was captured and transported to the Canterlot dungeons.

Seeing an opportunity, Princess Celestia enlisted Twilight (the one who outwitted his traps and then discovered him) and Fluttershy (who reformed Discord) to try to bring out the good in Sombra.

However, just as they seem to be making some progress, things take a turn for the strange, as four ponies they had never seen before began fighting in the streets with Dark Magic. Four ponies with unusual coloring, yet who seem oddly familiar...

Searching for any records King Sombra may have left behind, Twilight learned of the shadowy king's tragic past. However, she also discovered his horn, in which his mind and remaining power were contained. Determined to learn how to use his Dark Magic for Good, Twilight brought Sombra back to Ponyville with her. After all, what could he possibly do as a horn? ...Or will he stay that way?

King Sombra is constantly annoying me about pudding. Instead of paying for it he wants me to make it!

This story is a sequel to Dimension Jumper

Justin was just a simple technician at ARCO, but he fell in love with a down on her luck dimension jumper the first time he saw her. Now she's gone missing, and it doesn't look like ARCO is really doing their best to find her.

Still, he has access to all the data, all of ARCO's tech, even the powerful conversion pods. He could fairly easily get his hands on some of the companions ARCO outfits it's jumpers with. He knows that, given just a little bit of time, he could rescue Sarah and be the hero he's always wanted to be.

It would help if he copied the world ID number down correctly though...

Features R63d Equestria.

(First fic)

Sequel: Wargs of Fire and Blade Book II (lol, I don’t know why I didn’t add this earlier)

Following the return of the Crystal Empire, Twilight begins some intensive research into the history of the Empire and its late king. Modern historians know next to nothing about the enigmatic dark mage. Who was he? Did he have family? Loved ones?

The answers to those questions changes everything the Element of Magic knows about herself, and in doing so catches the attention of a shadow that yet clings to the frailty of life...

This story is a sequel to An Impulsive Temptation

[Note: This story is M/M fluff between Shining Armor and King Sombra, which I happened to write up on a whim between other projects. Also, the cover page is a cropped piece from tejedora on Deviantart]

Several months had passed since Shining Armor, the Prince Consort of the Crystal Empire, began to bond with the very pony who was reviled by the crystal ponies for his sinister reign. The former King Sombra may have been stripped of his dark magic and tyrannical mindset, but his reformation within the castle walls was seen with little optimism by most. Regardless of that fact, the Ex-Tyrant couldn't help falling for the one stallion who was able to see past his mistakes. And likewise, Shining couldn't keep himself from reciprocating those feelings back, despite being married to the Princess of Love.

But much like his marriage, Shining knew that his resistance towards Sombra was depleting immensely as the months they spent together grew more passionate. And even with his attempts to keep a gap between the two halves of his double-life, the Prince knew that his lingering thoughts couldn't be separated so easily. So on the very rare day Shining had where he could spend an entire morning to himself, those thoughts turned into action as he tried to appreciate the time he had with his secret mate.
