This story is a sequel to Retirement of a king

King Sombra has been officially retired from his villainous ways for over a month and still lives in the same house as Private Iceland and his friends. However, the newest addition to the house, Blue Axe, the son of Private and Dew, seems to like pouncing him, even if the colt is barely a month old.

Sombra is personally impressed by the colt's bravey, but Blue Axe's parents are a bit alarmed how aggressive their little boy behaves with the Master of Fear and Hate. How will Sombra end up dealing with this, or they themselves for the matter?

Or is it possible they are just overthinking things?

This story is a sequel to Retirement of a king

Octavia is getting tired of living a single life and sharing a house with her sister. She wants something different, something unique even.

Then she learns from the papers that an unusual herd union is being created in Fillydelphia. A very rare thing to happen in this day and age. Her curiosity is piqued and she travels there to learn more about it. Turns out this is precisely what she wanted. However, now she's worried she's already blown her chance.

Can she convince a herd consisting of a silent, grumpy historian, his pegasus soulmate and a former dark king to let her join?

Special disclaimer This story features mild bisexuality topics.

King Sombra actively destroyed records about the Crystal Empire before his reign. Princess Cadance has slowly been reverting that destruction and has reached a point where only one question remains. How did King Sombra come to power in the Crystal Empire? Records are silent on that one.

It's fortunate then that during recent events, King Sombra himself was captured and locked up in Tartarus. So it should be a simple matter to go there and ask him. That's at least what Princess Cadance and Shining Armor think.

It turns out King Sombra knows quite a bit more than the royal couple realized. He knows where Princess Cadance came from.

This story is a sequel to The Last of the Dark Ponies

Tirek waits eagerly for his plans to come to fruition. The magic is draining from Equestria, his protégé had followed his advice to the letter. Soon his enemies would come and be just as trapped as he is in Tartarus.

But he wasn't alone in watching his plan unfold. His fellow inmate was also watching, being neither helpful nor as eager as him to see their enemies coming soon. If anything, King Sombra does not believe in the plan at all. Well Tirek would show him.

A mildly alternate version of the Tartarus scenes from School Raze, since in the Last of the Dark Ponies, Sombra was imprisoned in Tartarus. Marked as a sequel though it's more of a short follow up on his imprisonment.

This story is a sequel to The Brushie chase

Foxy Stripes is on the outside a sunny mare, who likes bringing sunshine to those who are down, lift their spirit and chase those gloomy clouds away. She's a caring mother and a supportive friend who will go out of her way to help.

Yet she carries a burden not many get to see, a pain she carefully hides, preconception that constantly torments her.

In the end, sometimes the sunny ones need help chasing those dark clouds away.

Written in memory of my sister who passed away in summer 2013, who served as the inspiration for my pegasi sisters, Dew Doe and Foxy Stripes.

Marked as a sequel to the Brushie Chase as it happens roughly during the same time period and touches on Dew Doe's little (yet big) sister Foxy Stripes.

Dew Doe loves chasing Private Iceland with a brush, the question is why? And why does Private even let her? Why does that small pegasus mare think she can get away with it? Does Private secretly like it?

Romance tag is on because this is totally a romance, even if the two main characters deny it.

This story is a sequel to The Time Keeper of Ponyville

For a long time, Time Turner has been baffled by his fellow citizens of Ponyville who kept insisting on calling him Doctor Whooves, no matter how many times he's corrected them. Those instances finally died down after he got together with Derpy, but now he's finally about to meet the very pony responsible for this confusion.

However, he may just end up even more confused than ever.

This story is part of The Equestria Tales series.

Marked as a sequel to the Time Keeper of Ponyville as it kind of follows up on Timer Turner.

Story happens shortly after Possession in the Crystal Empire.

A normal day in Ponyville, ponies go about their business, buying, selling, fillies conning ponies into buying lemonade, the usual. Twilight Sparkle heads out to the market to buy stuff for a salad and doesn't expect anything else.

Then there is an explosion.

This story is part of The Equestria Tales series.

This story is technically speaking old and only been recently spruced up a little so it fits the minimum word length for submission here on Fimfiction. It happens somewhere during season 3, so this is pre-ascension Twilight.

It's sunny and nice outside so Thunderlane and Rumble enjoy some playtime at Ponyville playground. It's not just Twilight who has a BBBFF.
