Equestria. On the surface, it is a kingdom of harmony where pegasi, unicorns, and earth ponies live together in peace; a place where griffons, minotaurs, and many other creatures are welcome. However, few know that another race lives among them in hiding.

Fluttershy, the decades old pureblood thestral known as Mistress Flutterbat, was living with her family in Cloudsdale where her parents had done their best to lead the local clan of vamponies in peace for centuries.

While the Princess of the Sun kept a watchful eye on her kingdom, pureblood thestral clans across Equestria went into hiding, disguised as common ponies, for none had the power to challenge the alicorn’s might.

Will a vampony with a good heart and kind nature survive in a world that sees her as a threat?

This story takes place years before Nightmare Moon’s return. The story itself went through restructuring alongside many improvements to increase its quality.

Celestia has become emotionally withdrawn and disconnected from her little ponies. The imprisonment of Luna compounded with the constant loss of any who got close to her, she has forgotten how to connect with another pony. Until a small, injured filly who is equally distant after the loss of her parents stumbles into Celestia's life. Now, both ponies will help the other heal and rediscover once more what it truly means to be a pony.

A 'Mommylestia' story, the concept of which has been in my head for some months. I will be sticking rather close to canon for events, the major differences are that Twilight's parents are dead, and Shining Armor is a few years older and already dating Cadance at the time of this incident. I plan to keep mostly everything else the same.

When Discord defeated the Alicorn sisters during the War of Chaos, he declared himself King of All Equestria, banishing Celestia to the Mirrorworld and turning Luna into a shadow. Now, 3000 years later, he rules with the help of his Royal Mage, Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie, his Royal Jester. Together, the trio go on many strange adventures thorugh a world of chaos.

But Twilight holds a secret that could end Discord's rule.

Assuming she can stay sane long enough, that is.

With the Lunar Rebellion reestablished by Luna's return, Celestia is desperate to find any way to hold on to her sovereign power. Twilight supports Celestia, dedicated until the end, going out and trying to maintain the support of the general populace. The ponies wonder, though, why is she so loyal to the dictator?
What about Rainbow Dash? What side will she, the element of loyalty, choose when forced to choose between her friends?

Gore tag is in place just in case. If there is gore in the future, it will be a light amount.

Nightmare Moon defeated Celestia in the original battle. Nightmare set herself up as queen over Equestria, and even married King Sombra. She feared rebellion, however, and used her powers to take away all (excluding Sombra) of the Unicorns' magic. But 1,000 years into her reign, Twilight Sparkle discovers that she has magic. Nightmare Moon was right to fear rebellion...

It's Hearth's Warming Eve and Fluttershy's gift from Aunt Luna is a nutcracker. Her aunt tells her that he is under a curse, cast by an evil monster called the Chaos King.

She doesn't believe her until night falls and the Chaos King comes with his army. Shrunk in the battle, Fluttershy must venture with the nutcracker into the Land of Sweets to defeat the Chaos King and break his evil spells.

An MLP twist on "The Nutcracker."
