When Celestia banished Nightmare Moon, she thought it was the only way she could save Equestria. This decision, however, though not an easy one to begin with, carried with it a weight that only grew heavier with time. Now, fifty years later, it is the eve of the Summer Sun celebration. Festivities are being held all throughout Equestria, and almost all are celebrating Celestia's defeat of the great evil that nearly covered the land in eternal darkness.

Everyone, save for Celestia herself.

I've seen this idea done before, but as a fan of Sonic and MLP: FiM, I wanted to give it a go myself.

This, basically, is the story of Sonic Generations, but crossed over with the MLP:FiM universe, with Spike and the Main Six taking the place of Classic Sonic and Classic Tails with other MLP characters also appearing (most aren't listed to prevent spoilers). Except for Green Hill, there will be different areas explored, as well as pony rivals and different era bosses. So while it will have its similarities to the console and 3DS versions of the actual game, it will definitely have its differences too.

Also, in case anyone was wondering, there will NOT be any shipping in this story. At the very least, no crossover shippings. No SonicxRD, TailsxTwilight, TailsxFluttershy, or anything like that. If there is any shipping at all, it will only be between characters from the same universe. And the only humans in this story are Dr. Eggman and the ones that appear in the "Sonic Unleashed" level.

A big thanks goes to bvge on Deviantart for creating the new logo on the cover art. It's a vast improvement over the old cover art.

NOTE: Due to the length of many of the chapters in this story, most of them have been broken up into smaller parts of roughly 10,000 words or less to make the story easier to read.

Sunset Shimmer spends her time in Canterlot mostly alone. Aside from receiving lessons from Princess Celestia and telling the royal chefs that she’s hungry, she doesn’t have much pony to pony interaction. That is until some idiotic colt sneaks into the royal gardens.

Currently being rewritten! I haven’t forgetten!

After the defeat of Discord Princess Celestia and Luna took the throne, fifty years later Luna is tired of ponies fearing her night and praising the day. Thus she begins an epic adventure to make the night safer for her subjects. While on this mission her strength will be tested by enemy and friend alike and the ponies that rally to her side will either have to save her or watch their princess fall to darkness.

When Princess Celestia was walking around the outskirts of Canterlot she found a young nymph in a basket in the bushes, she decided to take care of her like her daughter, Amara.

One day like any other Amara is sent to Ponyville with her mother's star student for the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration, they were also recommend making friends, but none of them knew what fate was preparing.

Drake McCain was your typical adult nerd doing typical adult nerd stuff. Until he got dragged to Equestria by a certain chaotic weirdo. What could possibly go wrong? Everything.

Note: this story will contain the following- sarcasm, ineptitude, dirty jokes (are there any other kind?) and much, much, more!

This story is a sequel to Crystalline: Her Destiny

Ever scholarly Princess Twilight Sparkle can't wait to finally embark on her own arctic quest with her friends to find evidence of Starswirl the Bearded's life.

But what if things don't go as planned? When Princess Celestia orders a new companion who is a master magic user to accompany Twilight she's thrilled until she finds out on who it might be.

Her fears come to life when it turns out to be none other than Sombra. Will this ambitious Princess and the snarky loner be able to refrain from killing each other? Ancient magic awakens and history becomes vivider and its participants a little too alive as things play out.

Book Two of Sombra's Odyssey. Takes place in between MLP:FiM seasons 4 and 5. Proofread by: ElderXelpud and an anonymous user. There are many unmarked spoilers in the comments, and many more containing excerpts may not be relevant any longer because of the changes made in the updated version. Find the old version here!

Just a little fanmade reboot of the show I decided to make. I'm basically gonna be remaking all of the episodes that I can remake, while also adding a few of my own original chapters. I hope all who read this take the time to understand the themes and messages it presents, and that just because it's a darker take on the original source material, doesn't mean it's bad. I'll make sure to balance it out with light hearted moments as well, so it doesn't seem like it's always taking a shot of grim dark stuff. And yes, Spike is the main character of this story. Twilight's the dueteragonist, and the other Mane Six are still main characters. I just wanted to try something new. I hope you all enjoy it. Also warning for farts in some of the chapters, but it's NOT a fetish story, as that would mean there were farts in EVERY chapter.

Little side note: Actually read the story before liking or disliking it, or at least post a comment stating constructive criticism so I know you actually read it.

For those who wanna read more after season one, please comment below whether I should make that a separate story from this one, or make season two a part of this story. Whichever one gets more votes will determine whether this story gets an 'On Hiatus' status, or a 'Complete' status, and also part of how I'll do season two.

I'm sorry it's been so long since I finished season one. I've just been more motivated to write other stories I'm currently working on. Hopefully, once I finish writing some of them, I'll have the motivation to write season two. All hail gay princes and epic character arcs!

After years of being the runt of the litter (despite having no siblings), Spike finally comes into his own and starts to grow up and mature. The result is a unique bit of magic all his own, or so the theory goes: He awakens one morning to find words hanging overhead that call him [The Gamer], along with powers that let him 'live life as though it were a game'.

How he decides to handle all of this, and where things go from there? That would be a spoiler, and you all know how we feel about spoilers around here...
