This story is a sequel to Cross the Rubicon: Choices

From the beginning, Spike was there, watching, listening...knowing things that he could tell no one.

He knew something bad had happened. He knew something was off about Sunset Shimmer. He knew something was hurting Twilight. But no matter how much he barked or howled, he could never explain what he knew to anyone--they would never understand him.

It didn't mean he wouldn't try.

He would give everything he had to protect his human.

A companion piece to my main story, Cross The Rubicon: Choices , from the perspective of Spike the dog.

The map called Twilight and her friends for the first time, altogether. The 6 of them journey out to this never before heard of place, brimming with magic. Once there, they discover just why the place is so magical. It's the home of an alicorn, lost to time and seemingly forgotten about. An alicorn that seems to be abled to perform the most powerful magic with ease and hasn't a clue about the very basics of friendship. Together, they try to reintroduce the pony into society.

Twilight Sparkle, Celestia and Luna are transported into a strange alternate Equestria, the Land of Always Summer, where the day lasts forever and a terrible queen rules with an iron hoof.

[Dark] [Alternating Perspectives] [Displaced]
A strange creature has been living in the Everfree Forest for over seven hundred years. He lived there to keep hidden from the ponies, knowing that he could be considered a threat if he got out in public. He instead lived his life alone, because that's what he felt was better.

One thousand years after her banishment and two years after her return, Princess Luna tries to hide her most shocking secret from everypony. A secret so profound, that if they knew the truth about her... She doesn't even want to know what would happen.

Unknown to the two of them, they are closer than they expect, for they lost each other a long time ago. But they are about to reunite, while a new evil will rise to conquer their new world.

Rated Teen because of language.
Gore tag because of blood. Very big amounts of blood.
Drama tag because of... OMG, THE FEELS!!!
Alt, Universe: This story happens after the end of Season four, but events of Season Five will be slightly altered by the main character.

There is a connections to all the magic found across the dimensions. And in her quest for revenge Sunset Shimmer will show it to different groups what it is. Even if she has to drag them kicking and screaming to do it.

Everything seemed to be going better for Sunset Shimmer since getting blasted by the rainbow of light. She was learning about friendship and how to be a friend. Then Anon-A-Miss struck.

Thinking she had gone back to her old ways, Sunset's new friends walked away from her, leaving her alone.

Now Sunset cannot find neither the strength nor the will to get out of bed.

This is a first foray into attempting to tell a story from a first person perspective from Sunset's point of view.

This story is inspired in part by my own past struggles with depression.

The suicide/self harm tag is for thoughts of self harm, and Sunset's inability to eat or do anything other than lie in bed as she sinks deeper and deeper into depression.

A past Sunset doesn't remember comes searching for her, a past that may or may not be hers. With feelings that something bigger is going on, can she sort things out or will she drown in her problems with this piled on top of them.

Warnings: Very small bit of Anon-A-Miss as I needed Sunset to be a little isolated though it will be resolved in the first chapter though the aftermath may spill over for a chapter or two. Anon-A-Miss won't be the focus of the story, the focus will be her possible past coming to find her. The violence tag isn't there because of Anon-A-Miss, but there will be fights.

Discord, the Lord of Chaos, gets bored some times. Tea parties with ponies is fun and all, but some times you just want to cause some havoc. So, for this month, he has teamed up with his female AU counterpart, Eris, to spread some chaos through the MLP multiverse.

(Just a silly 31 challenge idea. Each 'story' will be about 2-3 paragraphs long and be based around one word prompts selected by a friend of mine. My goal is to make these stories a little creepy and or disturbing while staying silly and comedic. That being said, I don't know yet how far these may go. So, trigger warning a head of time. Read at your own risk.)

An innocent joke reveals a startling secret.
Due to popular demand, it has been expanded to three chapters, plus a sequel in the near future.

If called upon by a ritual -
most demonic beings follow the call.
And on the other side of the magic stands -
a human being, in a trance.
Their wish will be heard and fulfilled for a price -
in exchange for a soul, demons play nice.

When a desperate person calls out into the void - what happens when the void stares back?
Lily Potter is a strong woman, but in the face of almost certain death, even someone like her can come to the conclusion to fight fire with fire, and call upon a demon to fight the inhuman Dark Lord tearing down her home.

Once called, Nightmare takes on Harry as her child... this doesn't bode well for the sanity of everyone else involved, especially once she finds a very special letter addressed at herself years later.

Disclaimer:
The Nightmare in this story is a (far) future version of the Nightmare found in my other story.
The 'Sex' tag is for roughly two sentences implying it in a chapter near the middle (hence this story's rating).
The 'Death' tag is for, well, the death of Harry's parents.
