Luna and Celestia's rule have come to an end as predicted by the themselves. They willingly and happily took the gift of rest after teaching and ensuring that Twilight knows how to rule.

As the new leader of the land, she spent her time filling out papers and tending to her royal duty, such as raising and lowing the sun and moon, thus depriving her of time with her friends. Her magic skills have surpassed both princesses combined already. Equestria loves it's new ruler. There is not one pony that detests her. Twilight has brought peace and harmony to the land.

Though. Even the happiest and most beloved leaders face hardship. Here is The Princess Twilight Sparkle's story as ruler. Beginning from her first day.

Twilight Sparkle has passed on from old age. Leaving Celestia to mourn the abscence of her faithful student. Wanting to see Twilight alive again, Celestia travels back in time to one particular night in her and Twilight's past.

Short. One-Shot.

Equestria has fallen. A horrific cataclysm has destroyed all semblance of life, and only one pony remains. Twilight Sparkle's last journal entry is the only remaining evidence left to describe the tragedy that has descended upon her and her friends.

Celestia and Luna were not the original rulers of Equestria. What does this mean for Twilight? Explore the past and future of Equestria through the changes Twilight will experience.

Twilight Sparkle has always known her parents. Twilight Velvet and Moon Catcher. But if they aren't her true parents? Say goodbye to her current reality. Follow Twilight as she earns the crown, and meets challenges on the way.

Rated Teen for Violence in later chapters (these also explain the Dark tag.)
Alternate Universe for the fact that Twilight has different parents.
Romance for a little TwiDash that will be pretty light until The Sole Ruler-The Epilogue will be pretty romantic too.
Despite the two ominous tags, it is quite light save three chapters (Melding the Crowns, Darkness, and The Elements)
Art is not mine.

Twilight Sparkle has been betrayed by Celestia, all her friends brutally killed in front of her eyes after the young unicorn woke up one morning with wings. Celestia had realized that Twilight had been chosen by the Elements of Harmony to replace Luna and herself as the leading force of Equestria, and correctly surmised that the other Elements would have followed shortly after and become a united force the current princesses couldn’t hope to defeat if they chose to contest their position for the throne. Even though Twilight doesn't want to acknowledge her destiny as Equestria's next chosen ruler, the new alicorn cannot let the tyrants she has now seen Celestia and Luna really are remain in power.
Armed with only the Elements of Harmony and her burning rage, Twilight sets out to avenge her friends and free Equestria from Celestia and Luna's tyranny.
The fate of Equestria, as well as the balance of this entire universe, hinges on Twilight's success.
