After defeating Tirek, Cozy Glow, and Queen Chrysalis with the help of her dear friends, Princess Twilight Sparkle is about to truly ascend to the throne and rule over Equestria in both Luna and Celestia's stead. Unfortunately, her ascension isn't what she was expecting, and a shocking revelation is made.

Foreknowledge of 'Ark: Survival Evolved' isn't entirely necessary, but it does help nonetheless.

Editor: Demondude.

There are over 10,000 books in the Golden Oak Library, and not a single one has what Twilight is looking for, she will have to turn to alternative sources of education on these matters, perhaps Rarity knows better.

Shenanigans ensue

In these dark hours of Equestria, caused by an entity unknown, nearly the entire population of ponies and creatures turn from their innocent selves into c̶o̷r̶r̵u̶p̸t̴e̶d̷ mindless monsters. Survivors are scattered throughout the land, and all hope seems slim.

With unlikely allies, friends turned to foes, and danger lurking in every corner, could Equestria be truly salvageable, or is this the end as we know it, the world’s fate sealed to the d̷a̶r̴k̴n̶e̵s̶s̶ forever?

It started with a scream when the clock struck midnight.

A story about the "Learning with Pibby" corruption in Equestria.

Note: Gore tag is present due to descriptions of some corrupted characters. However one chapter does contain a scene of dismemberment, and another a slight description of impalement

Long story short, I was a brony. I woke up one day to find myself in Spike's body. Dream come true, right? I'm in Equestria, I could interact with my favorite ponies, etc.

Well, as it turns out, I just happened to wake up right at the beginning of Season 1. Which could only mean one thing: I can change the future of Equestria. I could solve problems prematurely, prevent disasters from happening, and keep Twilight from going insane.

So now, my mission isn't to hug my favorite ponies, but to make sure everyone gets a happy life.

A mistake with an ancient book of dark magic results in Twilight being 'living-impaired'. What follows is a series of (mis)adventures involving tax evasion and constant decapitation.

The chapters are short. I know. I like small bite-sized scenes, and it burns me out less.

Though this story is a comedy, please take note of the Gore and Dark tags. If that kind of stuff and dark comedy is unpleasant for you, I'd recommend reading something else.

Because I know you, Twilight. I know that when you have concerns, they consume you. So first I will tell you, as simply as possible: no, alicorns are not immortal, in the purest sense of the word.

Celestia's reassurance should be a relief, but true to form, Twilight can't stop thinking.

Contains discussion of death.

Flim And Flam decide to start a Rent-A-Friend Center in Ponyville. However Twilight Sparkle is not so sure about their new business scheme and decides to investigate it for herself.

Princess Twilight Sparkle vanished for three days. When she returned, she carried with her a pair of curious relics and no recollection of what happened to her. Only one thing is certain: She must retrace her steps to the beginning to understand the end.
