A three arced story that begins slowly as partially Comedy and Slice of life and rotates more towards Adventure and Dark in later chapters.

Some school fillies have to deal with school crushes. Others with bullies. Sometimes they have to deal with both. But no filly has ever had to deal with an Evil Tyrant being bound to their shadow and have the power to control their every action. This, of course, seems to be no big deal for Sweetie Belle who seems to even enjoy the stallion's company. Though the feelings aren't mutual. The small filly reminds the old king too much of a filly he used to know... Though it's strange the only place he'd seen her before are in these strange dreams of his. Recollections of a past he can't remember.

Perhaps Sweetie Belle will awake in him that version of himself before he was a Tyrant. Before he was labeled evil. A time from when he was a father. Perhaps she will help him forgive.

Sombra.
The name that makes ponies everywhere tremble.
The name that is the definition of cruelty.
The name that strikes fear into the hearts of all that hear it.
And that's really all that anypony can say. Ponies everywhere wonder what really goes on inside the head of the legendary crystal tyrant. What dreams and thoughts of malice could possibly sustain such cruelty?

What actually goes on inside Sombra's head might surprise everypony...

Tempest gets roped into babysitting Flurry Heart during a visit to the Crystal Empire. It's not so bad. She can talk all she wants and Flurry's a good listener. Plus, it gets her away from the hustle and bustle of the Crystal Faire. In all, she expects a quiet night.

Then she spots a spider. And spiders need to die. By any means necessary.

The Crystal Palace will never be the same.

Written for the May 2020 Pairing Contest. Loosely inspired by, well, Kill it With Fire. Has a Spanish translation by SPANIARD KIWI.

This story is a sequel to Ring Around The Moon -- Part II

Returning from hiding after Nightmare Moon's defeat, Cadance and Shining Armor have some wonderful news for Twilight. Then they encounter Tempest Shadow. And suddenly a simple question isn't quite so simple anymore...

Twilight, Tempest, and the rest of the Advanced Projects gang are back, trying to figure out their place in an Equestria which suddenly no longer needs saving... but which has no shortage of new challenges to throw at them, including some for which they may not be prepared...

If you're new to the Advanced Projects timeline, this story begins Series 2, so you can start here if you'd like. All you need to know is, Nightmare Moon has been defeated, but has altered the timeline in such a way that Twilight never went to Ponyville, and has also wound up with a totally different group of ponies as close friends...

This story is a sequel to To Try For the Sun

The young alicorn Celestia leads and ponies follow, fleeing south from their frozen lands.

Luna is not respected, not mighty like her sister. She can only watch Celestia slowly crumble from ceaseless labor, and the caravan rot with animosity and fear.

She needs to help, yet no one will listen.

She needs power.

(Same universe as To Try for the Sun, reading one is not necessary for the other.)

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....

Sunset Shimmer, the former pupil of Princess Celestia, entered the mirror hoping to find a place where she could plot her revenge and prepare to enact it.
Instead she finds herself face down in a swamp, cold and alone, lost to the machinations of the dark, that is until she comes face to face with a being almost as ancient as her old mentor, and maybe just as wise.

Life is very long.

Princess Twilight Sparkle had reached the ultimate goal that had eluded alchemists and rulers for lifetimes. Her alicorn prowess granted her a heaping surplus of years to live, and she planned to make each one count to further raise Equestria to greater heights. Even as the landmarks of her previous life melted away to time, Twilight was stalwart in protecting her homeland from anything that dared to disrupt its harmony and friendship. 

Unfortunately, new crises appeared as rapidly as she resolved them. Many of them proved to be far too much for her to overcome, dragging Equestria to ruin. Through the wars and disasters, Twilight always managed to find a way to escape life's judgement. Now she roamed the corpse of her fallen kingdom wondering what actions she could have made at the correct moments that would have saved Equestria from such a horrific fate. 

This would not be the first time that she trotted upon the remains of her kingdom.

Fiddlesticks forgot to bring a dress for the Apple family square dance. She wasn't about to go without one, and she wasn't about to miss the opportunity to spend quality time with her family. Luckily, her cousin Applejack knows just the pony to help.

A fanmade work of a fanmade work. Takes place during the events of Snake Staff's Empire and Rebellion.

After the Clone Wars ravaged Equestria, the pony planet became known to the wider galaxy. Many brave equines raced offworld to explore new horizons and forge their destinies. And one particular unicorn saw a chance to forge a destiny of her own...

Having abandoned the servitude of the Storm King, Tempest Shadow has managed to work her way into the Outer Rim of the galaxy, and has found a place to belong; a place where she is no longer a misfit, a place where her warrior's way is valued above all else.

The ranks of the Mandalorians.

Now, after much training, she is finally ready to receive her armor and take her place in the rogue's gallery of galactic bounty hunters.

It's been 100 years since her friends have passed. Deprived of her royalty, her magic, and her will to keep moving.

Deluded into believing that she could bring her friends back, she is tricked into giving up all of her magic, it being sealed in a scroll. Now she roams Equestria, the evil spell leaving her wingless but still immortal, regaining magic and power through ancient scripts. Searching for the one who took the little she had left away from her.
