Apple Bloom has always been taught to do what’s right; by her sister, her brother, and her granny. She works hard to complete her chores, does her school work, and goes crusading with her friends. Even when dealing with the taunting from the local bullies, she tries to keep her distance and avoid conflict; after all, it’s the right thing to do. But when she overhears a private moment by somepony she should by all rights despise, she learns that doing the right thing can be harder than it seems.

While tormenting a fellow classmate, Diamond Tiara gets asked an unexpected question...

After the defeat of the sirens by Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, and the Rainbooms, Twilight believed they would be rendered powerless normal human girls. When they return claiming to be starving to death without their song magic, will even Twilight Sparkle have it in her heart to let them back into Equestria to feed on the misery they must create? Or will they have no choice but to let death take the sirens?

Theres a mole in P.W.N.Y!
The mole is selling information about P.W.N.Y to every newspaper in Equestria! Pinkie Pie has to find out who the traitor is before he or she mentions names...

But who could it be?

Pinkie Pie, element of laughter,party planner extraordinaire. That's what everypony thinks of her. That she is just Pinkie. Starts singing randomly in the middle of a street? Just being Pinkie. Running around dressed in black? Just being Pinkie.

But what if there was something more to Pinkamena Diane Pie than anypony could ever realize? What if everything Pinkie ever did was just an act to throw people off scent? What if Pinkie Pie worked for Luna and Celestia, a spy.

When Pinkie Pie was two years old, she was taught to read and write. When she was three, she was taught everything there is to know about rocks. When she was four she learned about her destiny, to make others happy. When she was five, her parents showed her how to pick locks, diffuse a bomb and kill a pony with her bare hooves.

Take a back seat Rainbow Dash and Applejack, time for Pinkie Pie to be the badass for a change.

"It's so nice to see you again!" said the thing that was not Celestia. "Oh yes, I know who you are, Twilight Sparkle. I had a taste of your magic the first time we met. Mortals forget things so easily, I find. Allow me to refresh your memory: you tried to kill me. But you failed, Twilight Sparkle. You only mostly killed me. And I guess that makes you one very unlucky little pony."

Arachnid. Perhaps the most feared name in all of Equestria. An assassin of renowned infamy, Arachnid never failed to complete a contract killing. Anyone or anything unfortunate enough to become his target would be dead before the next sunrise, with proof of his success in hoof. Be it the severed ear of a haughty noble, or the freshly skinned flank of some wannabe criminal, Arachnid always delivered.

He was the stallion who made ponies fear to tread the streets at night, and even made Princess Celestia wary of the shadows. But at the height of his career, he vanished off the face of the planet. Never to be heard from ever again. Some speculated that he cashed out when the going was good and retired to live a long and happy life. Others say he went on to bigger and better things whilst hiding completely in plain sight.

While these explanation seem plausible, none mention even once about the legacy that he left behind. A legacy that he bestowed to his only kin and heir to his name. His daughter, Fluttershy.

One shot, not sure if I'm gonna expand on this

This story is a sequel to Sunset Among Shadows

The Anon-a-Miss era is over, and Sunset is happy in her new life with her new friends.

But a new challenge will make her return to the place she left behind, and face those who were her friends, and a strange but well know person.

The GAMES are going to start, and there can only be ONE winner.

Update 20/12/2021
Now the story has been edited by my good friend 'Arthor2017'

This story is a sequel to The Broken and the Damned

10 years have passed since the defeat of Queen Chrysalis and the official end of Rainbow Dashs' exile. Since that day, with the exception of her sister's wedding, she hasn't set a hoof in Equestria. Finally, after much convincing, Rainbow allows her sons to sign on an exchange student-like program, where they will spend a school year in Ponyville.

How will her sons, raised in the Empire and can't even speak equish that well, react to the culture and way of life of the small Equestrian town? Better yet, how will her former friends and their families react to them?

Twilight Sparkle. Magical prodigy. Personal student of Princess Celestia. Bearer of the Element of Magic. Princess of Friendship. Hers is easily one of the greatest destinies in Equestria.

Yes. Definitely. All predetermined. It certainly had nothing to do with any incidents she had early in her personal lessons from Celestia, nor any potent magic the Princess of the Sun kept hidden in plain sight. That would be ridiculous.
