After their defeat at the Battle of the Bands, the Dazzlings were able to build some kind of life for themselves. It was far from glamorous, in fact they found it humiliating, but at least it was a life. In fact out of all of them, Aria found some level of fame through series of Internet video she started. A level that led her to an encounter that would change her life in ways she never would have imagined.

Two years after the fall of the Storm King. Many kingdoms regain their freedom from him.

The Princesses of Equestria worked for those two years in an attempt to seize peace all over the world. Many species came to light as they slowly began to grow again.

But... In the ceremony that was going to bring the world together with an agreement. Twilight was killed.

Many years later, she awake in the mind of a another pony.

But the world seems different. Peace was achieved after all, the world united. Twilight succeed.

Did she?

Once again thanks to sejox for the edit and all the help. I'm afraid I can't give you enough credit, my friend.

The world has been dying for as long as the Enchantress can remember, reduced to little more than a desolate expanse of sand. And yet, she keeps walking, for she knows she is the last hope of the world.

When mares from extremely different worlds arrive in her desert, the Enchantress is forced to reexamine everything she thought to be true. There will be stories of monsters, books, ghosts, gods, stars, machines, and ponies who have not lived most of their life in a world approaching the end. They must come to terms with their vastly different experiences in a tangle of alternate worlds no one is prepared for.

The multiverse is a big place, and this small corner of existence has just received some unwanted attention.

Being seventeen is hard--especially if you happen to be a Princess.

I'm Princess Celestia, but everyone calls me Cece. My life has been crazier than normal lately--my big brother Blueblood is a selfish jerk, my best friend Twilight just moved away to Ponyville, and, oh yeah--Nightmare Moon turned out to be my long-lost somethingth-Great Aunt, Princess Luna. No biggie.

But, no matter how my life is going, I'm still Princess. I've gotta keep it together. Somehow. I can make it at least until the Grand Galloping Gala in a month-and-a-half... right?

A new AU, Season 1 AU, in which Celestia is mortal, and the same age as Twilight. Keep reading for shenanigans!

Rated Teen for brief-but-strong language in later chapters, and some crass dialogue. Otherwise, it's a pretty "soft" Teen.

As always, this story is written and edited. New chapters will post every morning until completion.

Edited by Eruantalon and Orsuros.

Loreley never asked to be put in a high position of rulership as the Queen of the Dead... and yet here she is.

She never asked to possess the power to have complete control over the dead... yet here she received it.

Now over the years of quiet solitude and ruling over all the dead, she has grown distant and prideful for no friends exist for the Queen of Death and unfortunately, she hates immortals and those who fear and/or cheat death.

If things turn out differently, maybe she might feel some sort of wholeness in her empty void that she calls her heart.

Everyone has a back-story, including our worst enemies. But what is their back story? What causes them to act this way and why?

Lily Sapphire Rose Rich was next in line to the key to unlock her wildest dreams. But that key was stolen by someone who would later become everything she wanted to be. Disappointed and blinded by jealousy, Lily takes her anger to the next level and decides to avenge her rightful position. A decision that would leave Equestria in shreds and scars that would never heal.

Twilight Sparkle, the now-announced personal protoege of Princess Celestia, had more than her fair share of dreams coming true. But with these dreams came a terrible price she would have to pay, and a person she would come to fear for the rest of her life.

Trixie is a centaur. Her mother is a human and her father a unicorn. She loves her mother and her father. She was inspired by her mother's tales about her own adventures to become a show pony. Let's hope her first stop in Ponyville will be a good sign. This is her story going on her way to Travel as a Showmare. Along the way, she will make friend and foe alike. Come watch as the great and powerful Trixie shows the world what she's got assuming she gets a chance to do so.

For almost a thousand years, the immortal Nightmare Moon has reigned over Equestria as Empress. To the average pony, Nightmare Moon is an overarching enigma whose rule is absolute and whose wrath is terrible. But to Twilight Sparkle, who as an orphan has never known her parents, the Empress is something else entirely. When the young unicorn is brought under the royal wing as an apprentice, she learns a great deal more about the supposed tyrant than she ever knew. But as Twilight is introduced to life with her new mentor, she is thrust into a world of political intrigue, conspiracies and secrets. Secrets that were never meant to be revealed. As allies and enemies plot against the very peace of the nation, will Twilight fall prey to the perils of her new position? Or will she prosper and find in Nightmare Moon the mother she never had?

============

My eternal gratitude to my editor, LordOfTheWrongs, without whom Night's Favoured Child would not be the story it is today.

Now with added TVtropes!

in the wake of a terrible accident claiming Velvet and Night light, Celestia takes in Twilight, Shining, and Spike to raise them alongside Cadence in Canterlot Castle. I present an alternate take on Friendsip is magic where Twilight never leaves Canterlot to go Ponyville, and instead relies on her new family to protect Equestria. I give you, the House of Sun.

Please go easy on me with criticism, I havent written a fic in a looonnggg time. Also Im not quite sure how long this gonna be, I'll at least write up to Nightmare Moon's appearance.

This story takes place in an alternate universe (they are humans, not ponies).

Twilight Sparkle is given a Scholarship to attend Headmistress Celestia and Vice Headmistress Luna's Princess Preparatory, a school for young Princesses in the making. This is because her brother, Shining Armor, is attending the school's "brother school"; Prince and Knight Academy. Which is led by Headmaster Thorax and Vice Headmaster Pharynx. Shining attends because he is courting Princess Cadence, who is like Twilight's sister. Her brother, Spike, is with Shining at Prince Academy. Twilight Sparkle meets six other girls, who are born Princesses. They help her to succeed in the Royal School. But there are many obstacles they must face.

Meanwhile, at Prince and Knight Academy, Shining Armor and Spike have made friends with five certain boys. When they are asked to have a joint class with the ladies of Princess Prepratory, they fall in love with certain girls. Together the boys and girls strive to complete their years and graduate, working together to solve problems (and fall in love while they're at it)

(boys are in the story a medium amount but there's not enough number of tags to include them)
