Secrets are powerful things. Just one secret revealed can change everything, and so we hold them close, only letting them out to those we explicitly trust. When Hermaeus Mora learns of an incredibly powerful secret, he targets the sole keeper of the secret: Luna, Princess of the Night. Now, an amnesiac Luna must traverse the land of Skyrim in an attempt to find a way home, lest Mora wrest the Secret of the Moon from her, and use it to gain more power than any being has the right to control.

A/N: This story is old. Like really old. Writing is very janky. Proceed at your own discretion.

Luna has a problem. Sombra was destroyed, or at least that's what most of Equestria believes. Normally she wouldn't care he was actually banished, but rumors have reached her from his new home. Rumors of a dark figure rising to political influence, spreading evil and corruption in its wake. Time to tie up loose ends.

Chance has a problem. Sometimes a visit from an old friend is a welcome surprise. Other times, they hand you a ridiculous sum of money and tell you to kill some random crime boss. Oh well. Half up-front isn't bad, provided you survive to see the rest. But that shouldn't be a problem. After all, how bad could this Sombra guy actually be?

A pony (turned human) on Earth, story.

This is what happens when you misread story titles, children.

Max works in a bar, hidden away from the views of the highly sophisticated and posh citizens of Canterlot City. Being human doesn't help improve his bar's reputation. But one day he'll learn that, if you stay in a certain place long enough, there will be ponies curious enough to trot through the door.

The bar's motto is "To mix drinks and change lives!"

Heavily inspired by the game VA-11 HALL-A

Vermilion didn’t join the Guard to be a hero. He just wanted to escape the farm and his old, boring life.

But now it seems he may have no choice – his unit is being sent to Hollow Shades, a tiny hamlet hidden in the depths of an endless forest, to fight monsters on behalf of Luna and Celestia. When the mission turns into a disaster and the town is lost, Vermilion finds himself at the forefront of an unexpected war, with all of Equestria at stake.

A new dark age has begun. Heroes must be found to guard the flickering lights of civilization. And Vermilion and his friends will discover that monsters are the least of their worries.

Set in the years before Nightmare Moon’s banishment, The World is Filled with Monsters follows a young hero and his friends as they struggle to protect a newfound nation – and discover the cost of greatness.

The Nightmare

The Crusaders sometimes form conclusions and make decisions based on impulsivity and gut feelings rather than rational thought. So, when they meet Ponyville’s newest, specialty flower vendor—a young, quiet mare from Alemaneia named Schneeblume—Scootaloo immediately begins to suspect something… that behind her quiet exterior, that bright smile, and those kind eyes, she's hiding something sinister.

Well, technically, she is... but perhaps not in the manner they expected.

In the end, the three quickly-growing fillies may find that their cutie marks and their penchant for helping ponies may come in a different fashion than they're used to.

One Cuil is one level of abstraction away from the reality of a situation.

For example: Twilight Sparkle looks for a book...

Twilight's power, along with that of Celestia, Luna, and Cadance, has been claimed by Tirek. Drunk on power, the demon-centaur is unleashing destruction upon Equestria, his reign of terror just beginning.

But there is hope. A crystalline chest, a gift from the Tree of Harmony, able to be opened by six keys. Keys which Twilight has now claimed the last of. All they can do is hope, hope that whatever is contained inside the chest is enough to stop Tirek.

And then something goes wrong ...

Note: This story is in no way connected with my other fanfics. It's very much a one-off in good fun.

Pinkie Pie preemptively apologizes to Twilight: she's going to ruin their friendship.

Twilight agrees.

Pinkie suits her better as a girlfriend anyway.
