Twilight Sparkle broke time when she got her cutie mark. Now Twilight and Sparkle are sisters from another time. Twilight is hailed as the potentially greatest light magician of all time, and already has a reputation as a hero by the time she goes to Ponyville. This isn't her story, not primarily.

Sparkle is an orphan - her dark magic killed her parents. She lives with her brother in Canterlot's industrial sector because they can't afford anything better. She can't leave either. She's a natural dark mage; while Sparkle won't go mad like Sombra, her reputation is hardly any better. Worse, the law doesn't see her as a good pony.

The fact that the dead don't stay dead around her, or that Thorn - Spike's double - is an undead, soul-eating abomination, are other matters altogether.

(Also has some Slice-of-Life, but fimfiction tags won't let me put it with Adventure.)

Has an ask blog to go with it: Ask Sparkle and Thorn.
Also has a TvTropes page: Split Second Tropes.

Takes place after season 5, but before season 6.

One year after the reformation of her star pupil, Starlight Glimmer, Twilight Sparkle decides to look more into the forbidden mysteries known as Alternate Timelines. After tweaking around with Starswirl the Bearded's altered time spell, she tests it out in an open meadow.

But she honestly didn't expect it to work.

She honestly didn't expect to pull not one, but two blood-covered children from beyond the veil.

And she honestly didn't expect to find herself fighting for her life against a desperate monster.

This story is a sequel to Twilight Daylight

After the birth of Fresh Dawn, Queen Twilight "Arcadia Nova" Sparkle of Psera is ready to begin a new life with her husband King Shimmering Madun. But Twilight has a question on her mind. Why could only she and Flurry Heart, both Equestrian, gain a boost in magic that only Pserateps could gain, evident by their wing size? The investigation begins once a sudden conference to keep Psera in an elegant dark leads her back to Equestria.

Isn't it odd that Equestria managed to pull themselves out of a metal shortage so fast? Was the question bouncing around the minds of the leaders of Equestria's allies. From Mount Aris' Queen Novo to Zebrica. Including the Dragon Lands' Dragon Lord Ember. Questions arise at the Annual International Summit located in The Crystal Empire. And why is Equestria restricting access to Ponyville and Las Pegasus?

When a bunch of plagues begin to riddle the foreign lands, it causes more questions then answers. What happened to Narmeelah? And why?

This story is a sequel to Twilight Daylight: Psera, The Legend of Legends

The International House of Trade—made up of Equestria, Prance, North Neighton, South Neighton, Seaquestria, Mount Aris, Hoof Yun and five other nations—has never witnessed a bloody war. A real battle where ponies actually never wake after being hit with something sharp and deadly. They have never seen death at his worst. They have never seen a loved one murdered in cold blood lying at their hooves.

Queen Twilight 'Arcadia Nova' Sparkle has plenty of times ever since starting her life on Psera fifteen years ago. After being awakened from her own self-inflicted imprisonment spell that has kept her frozen in time for ten years, Queen Arcadia was welcomed back to the throne by witnessing the deaths of over one hundred innocent Pserateps, including her own daughter and husband.

An attack led by the Zebras.

With an extremely massive military behind her, gargantuan weaponry, a country willing to fight, and the support of her citizens, Queen Twilight 'Arcadia Nova' Sparkle, Saviour of Psera is ready to return the favor.

However, her past life remains an obstacle, and are refusing to let her pass.

Twilight has always been the mare to go to when you have a situation. But what happened if no one looked to her for help anymore? Her sole purpose was to help ponies and give them information. That's why she loved the library. But......what now? Now that the traffic's stopped, the others , her friends, don't even talk to her when she expresses her concerns. Along with lies and things that have gone untold about her.

What now......that her sole purpose is gone?

P.S. Not too depressing, but you sure are in for a shocker! Includes action, adventure, and Family as well!

Has been updated to a Teen Rating due to sexual references in later chapters

Do you ever regret things you did in the past? Whether it was accidentally insulting someone, or waging war against a concept with chocolate rain and licorice trees? Well, Discord doesn’t “regret” it, but he can admit he made a mistake or two.

But his past certainly disagrees.

Somehow, (Discord), someway (definitely Discord), Nightmare Moon meets her future self. (It’s all because of Discord.)

How will she react to seeing the mare she’s destined to become? And how will Luna feel when confronted by her dark past?

(For those of you who will ask, this Discord is the younger Discord of the previous fic.)

And new cover by ProjectRabbid

Choices, and our ability to stick to them, are what makes us ponies. It doesn't matter whether they are right or wrong, the important thing is that they had to be made. When a barely adult unicorn with an ambitious name Blazing Light leaves his home to start a new life his steps lead him to a company in which he is rightfully nervous - princess Luna's guards.

Also, a direct sequel.

From birth, Luna was a gifted unicorn.

So gifted, in fact, that Princess Sunset, the Solar Diarch, personally took notice of her abilities when she applied to attend Princess Sunset's school for the Gifted and Talented. When her pegasus sister, Celestia, hatches a phoenix egg, their entire life is changed.

Now, as Princess Sunset's personal students, the two sisters must figure out why sources of knowledge are disappearing, being stolen, or forcibly taken by dark shadows. Could the weird behaviours of the changelings explain the reason?

The one thing they do know is that something dark and powerful is plotting something in the shadows. And only they can stop this evil.

And why does Princess Sunset insist that the situation is nothing to worry about?

For clarification: Luna and Celestia are not princesses in this story, even if tagged as such. There is just simply no non-princess Luna and Celestia to be tagged.
