Inspired by A Bluebird's Song. A beautiful story by Ardensfax.

It was supposed to be a simple stargazing trip up to the mountains. But what Moondancer discovers hidden in the moonlight may change her life forever…

...or may, at least, wear too much eyeliner.

For on this night of nights, there lurks a pony of deep darkness: Moonlight Raven, whose adoration of the strange and mystical not only rivals Moondancer's respect of science and reason, but is physically preventing its pursuit.

Can these lovers of the night find common ground, or are they fated to annoy each other to death?

Pre-read by Bookish Delight and Rune Soldier Dan following an appearance in the November 2015 Writeoff, "Out of Time". Cover art assembled from here and here.

A lonely and broken Trixie Lulamoon endeavors to make a special day as memorable as possible.

A short one-shot story about the past, present, and future, taking place several months after the events of Magic Duel.

Inspired by the season 5 finale

The rainboom never happened. The mane six were never friends. Now, Nightmare Moon rules all of Equestria with her sister trapped in the moon.
Violet Tempera is a royal painter in the castle of Nightmares, and is facing the Mare in the Moon every day, but she still remembers the beloved princess of the sun. After so many years of night, she needs to find a way to bring Celestia back.

She recalls a legend of six magical stones to guide her on her journey.

This is a case of writing for the sake of writing, so things aren't solidly mapped out. Thanks to JustAnotherRandomPony for editing. You're welcome to point out tpyos in the comments!

The tales of the past are what define the future. The legends of the past shape our youth into great ponies, who will go on to do great things. If we ignore the warnings of the past, then the future will repeat the past. The flower family civil war; a legend that rings through time as another lesson how family is all we have in the end. The bonds of family will be tested as two sisters clash over opposing ideals. Their conflict thrusting Equestria into an all out war that threatens to destroy the peace between deer and ponykind forever. Now a young mare goes into the past to experience it for herself, not prepared for the horrors that the legend hides.

For one to truly understand the past, one must live it.

Starlight Glimmer's attempts to stop the Rainboom pulled Twilight Sparkle into many possible timestreams.

In one, Rarity and Rainbow Dash survived Nightmare Moon's victory over the forces of light, eventually attaining positions of prominence and comfort in the Nightmare's service. But when the unexpected visit of an Alicorn and Dragon sheds light on a growing conspiracy against the wicked mistress of the night, Rarity and Rainbow Dash may yet be inspired to risk what they have gained to join the fight for a better world.

Yet darkness lingers even in the hearts of some who would oppose the Nightmare, and not all agree on what a better world would look like...

This story would not have been possible without the indescribably vast help and unwavering support of Moosetasm, the pre-reading assistance of I-A-M and Waxworks, as well as the editing prowess of OnionPie and Pascoite! Cover by Novel Idea, using Rarity by miracle32 and background by Drakizora! Featured on Equestria Daily 17Jul.2016! Featured on FimFiction 2Feb.2017 and many times thereafter!

Rainbow Dash was the Iron Wing. She was a war hero, the Slayer of Shadows, the Liberator of the Crystal Empire, the Wrath of Celestia. And depending on who you ask, she still is.

But the war is over. There's little need for a pony like her in peacetime. So she keeps telling herself that she needs to adjust, that she needs to find a new role to fill in the world that she saved. But Equestria seems content to let her remain what she has become, even though they have no need of a warrior.

"This isn't how it's supposed to be", is something she keeps telling herself. But every time she says it, the only thing she can reply is, "so what should it be?"

One whole year after the close of the war, and Rainbow Dash still doesn't have the answer.

The natural order of the night sky has been corrupted, and only two unicorns in all of Equestria seem to notice. They set out for Canterlot to seek an audience with the Princesses, but somepony always seems to be in their way.

A very loose adaptation of the Touhou game of the same name - a story told in six stages. Imported from Gensokyo: Spellcards, banter.

Dusk Shine, personal student of Nightmare Moon, has been groomed his entire life to be the left hand of Nightmare Moon. Given access to secrets beyond mortal comprehension, funds to make the wealthiest buisnesspony green with envy, and authority above nearly all nobles, he harbors a dark secret.

He hates this power.

Despite the temptations of his post, and the fear associated with his family name, he wishes only for a brighter tomorrow, where ponies live in freedom and peace with the land. However, in a military nation beset on all sides with enemies, peace is a fleeting dream; in a nation overseen by a tyrant queen, harmony is impossible.

Unless things change.

Cover Art by mariosbro64 from Deviantart

Deep in the earth, a shadow grows in strength. The Gates of Tartarus are breaking. The fires of revenge are burning.

A lone prince, a traitor to his kingdom, is waiting. He is waiting for power, waiting for the dawn of his new day. Yet the moment his victory is all but ensured, when Twilight Sparkle herself lies helpless before him, the prince starts to forget the line: the difference between who he was, and who he is now.

Can a traitor ever be anything more?
