Fate and prophesy can be funny things. Sometimes harmony and magic can be a bit unpredictable.

Starswirl's last prophecy was unclear as the greatest spell caster of his day had notoriously bad horn-writing and was equally bad at only writing down half of what he saw in visions.

For generations Princess Celestia has been subtly manipulating the lives of her ponies for generations, using a combination of Starswirl's prophesies and her own foresight to get the outcome she wanted. But she forgot the three most important rules about trying to manipulate future events: 1) The future is like a river. It follows its own currents and makes its own path. 2) The future is always in motion and is next to impossible to predict with any certainty. 3) The very act of viewing the future changes it.

This story is an AU from the main MLP:FiM starting with a deviation from the episode Magical Mystery Cure.

It all started with a single question: What if it was the Mane 6 that became alicorns and not just Twilight?

It's rated T for mild violence.

”Alright, starting today, I’m going to start journaling this stuff. Maybe I’m overthinking it and I will just come off as a raving lunatic, but I’m sure I’ll laugh about it later down the line.”

A young, anonymous high school junior revisits an old show that he used to watch as a kid. It was one he used to watch near religiously, to the point that television was banned from the house. After reconnecting with cable, he finds the show once more. However, even his nostalgia couldn’t make him sit through a kid’s television program all over again.

Yet, ever since rediscovering it, he finds that it’s been popping up far more in his life than he realized. What was first thought of as an aggressive marketing campaign changes when the show appears to be communicating to him. Join our journalist as he finds himself stalked and hounded by My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, the Animated TV Show!

Author’s Note: Now for something completely different! I had the urge to write a sort of mystery, almost meta-style narrative. I also wanted to try out a first person story. I already write myself into things anyway! *ba dum tss*

I accidentally revoked submission so I submitted the story again. please don't read if you already have and I'm apologizing in advance

No one had ever seen Anon without his clothes on. Not even the princesses. So they task Twilight to unravel the mystery. How will she fare? There's only one way to find out...

This story is a response for a blog post you can find here. This is pretty rushed so don't expect too much.

Twilight starts to develop new powers after her brother's wedding, more things happened during the wedding that were not shown to us that time.

Twilight discovers that she has a beast with an incredibly high power named "Kurama..."
Now she must learn how to use it cope with all the problems she has and face the enemies, and the most important thing...who is her real family and what is the truth of Equestria?

English is not my maternal language, however I already have experience writing stories, I hope you like this story, it is a different version/rewrite of my previous story titled the same.

Spike had recently defeated Sombra and saved Equestria, Twilight had been busy with being the Princess of friendship and the other main 6 were busy with their roles in life, and feels a little depressed on it
Spike wishes to know what his destiny on a star one night and he falls asleep, unknownst to him destiny has much bigger things for him, he wakes up in front of an old turtle called Oogway and learns that he was brought here apparently by the Universe much to Spike's confusion,

Oogway tells him he is destined for something great and he is willing to teach Spike the art of Kung Fu and fulfill that roll, Spike accepts this and agrees to become a student, Oogway sends a message to Celestia about his destiny and she agrees to let him learn and decides to keep to tell the others at one point. From there Spike makes new friends and becomes what he was meant to be...The Dragon Master.

A typographical mistake leads Nightmare Moon's return to play out very differently. It still gets the job done, though.

During her entrance exam, Twilight's powers goes far out of control, leaving Celestia a shell of herself and Equestria in ruins. Now Nightmare Moon is free, but even she can't stop the Tyrant Filly. She flees through time and space, finding herself in an Equestria familiar to us but odd to her. Can the Mane Six help her stop a Twilight out of control?

Princess Luna ordered the Tantabus to torture her dreams every night so that she would never consider returning to the dark path she once trod as Nightmare Moon.

Luna should have remembered just how difficult it was for her to obey rules before she used her own essence to create what was, in effect, a smaller, more headstrong version of herself.

The Tantabus is determined to follow the true purpose of her command, no matter the consequences, large or small.

Or very, very small.
