A mother will do a lot for her child, even give them up if it meant them having a safer life growing up, despite the obvious pain that comes for the parent.

That pain is something Queen Chrysalis has gone through for eighteen years, but now the time is upon them, and she wants her daughter back. Even if that means invading Canterlot during a royal wedding.

This story is a sequel to Casting a Shadow

Nothing is constant, everything is in flux.

I try to stay as constant as I can, but in these changing times, all I can be sure of is that I am still good.

What people tend to forget is that good is not necessarily nice.

After Gilda learns the secret for better scones, her GriffonScone stand is suddenly too small to handle the customers that swarm her every morning. So to help, she travels to PonyVille to get some help from the only person she remotely knows how to handle a business, a friend of a friend, Rarity. Though as the gryphon becomes more and more successful, her habit of taste testing every batch of scones becomes more and more prominent on her waistline.

A burst of energy from the heavens, felt by every being from Discord himself to the little foal crying next door. Mysterious golden rings rained from the sky, dropping to Equestria, almost as if with a purpose. With rings scattered throughout the lands, all holding untold power, the Princesses send for an immediate investigation, including themselves and the Mane Six.

What secrets do the rings hold? Who or what sent them to Equestria, if anything at all? Would they prove a threat to the nation? Despite their awesome power and years of experience, nopony, be it the Princesses, the Elements of Harmony, or even Discord, had been prepared for what was to come.
...
Okay, maybe Discord was, but it's Discord.
...
Maybe Pinkie too, she has emergency cakes stashed all over Ponyville!

So, a Pokémon crossover! And game-centric, so don't expect anything from the anime to pop up. Not certain whether humans will pop up at all, though it's 50/50 in my head right now. The name and cover art aren't my final choices, though I'm not sure what I have in mind.

I'm the only one that's edited this, and while I do personally think I'm a fairly good editor, a nitpicky person, and one with high expectations too, I know for a fact I tend to become blind when it's my own work. So, feel free to tell me why this story sucks. But don't tell me that the story sucks. Kay? Just why would really be nice.

Hey, this is on the 5th page when you click on More Popular Stories on the Homepage for a while! Didn't expect that at all! Thanks to everyone that added this to their Favourites, and everyone that's viewed or liked as well!

Dead.

It all happened so fast. One minute they were there, and the next she was standing in their ashes.

Lost forever.

It wasn't fair. They’d devoted their entire lives to defending Equestria, and what was their reward? To be cut down in the blink of an eye. Weren't they supposed to be the heroes? Weren't they the good guys, the chosen ones, the saviors of the land? This wasn’t the way things were supposed to go!

Alone.

Twilight wouldn't accept it. No, she couldn't accept it. How could fate be so cruel? Why did she have to be the only one left alive? Why did she have to suffer on with such a terrible burden, reliving that terrible moment again and again for all eternity? No, regardless of what anyone said or did, she knew that a terrible mistake had been made, and she would see it fixed...

...no matter what the cost.

MLP/Shadow of the Colossus crossover.

Picture by Companda.

While relaxing after a performance, the Rainbooms discover Sunset has scars that she definitely didn't have before the Fall Formal.

As of 9/14/2015, this story has a dramatic reading by Goombasa. Give it a listen!

7/7/2016: Now with cover art designed by the very generous Novel-Idea! Thank you so much!

7/23/2016: This story has a reading by Gabriel C Media. Give it a listen!

This idea wouldn't leave my mind. It's gonna be a short story about the Rainbooms going to this year's Grand Galloping Gala. Yeah, the one with the Smooze. A little random, a little human, a little rock'n'roll. Nothing special.

CANCELLED

After her disappearance three months prior, Rarity finds her way back home. Of course, this raises several important questions. Where was she? What did she do? Why is she wearing bloodstained armour? And who is this "Wanderer" she traveled with?

{Displaced Story}

His name was Eli Minute, a normal teenager who dressed as a Dalek for a group costume contest at Comic-Con with his friends. He just wanted the contest to finish up so he could get out of the stuffy Dalek costume. But when his friend Matt brought over the rewards, he also brought over a Dalek laser that he bough from a man known only as "The Merchant".

Jeremy, one of his other friends, goes ahead and attaches the laser to Eli's costume, and in a flash of light Eli is taken to Equestria with a splitting headache and no sensation in his feet...or his hands...or anything for that matter.

What will befall him as he's trapped in the mechanical body of the most dangerous being in the universe?

This is a collab story written by me, Down with Chrysalis and my good friend Erised the Ink-Moth. Go check him out, he's awesome.
