When history is rewritten so that Equestria is doomed, it's not a hard choice to try to revert the timeline.

While battling Starlight Glimmer's interference with the timeline, Twilight is faced with a moral dilemma when she lands in a timeline which has weathered Equestria's trials almost as well as her own. How can the lives of those living there be balanced against her vanished world?

Season 5 Finale-related.
So many realities. So many horrible futures. But in yet another alternate timeline, Twilight finds herself in the Golden Oak Library with the Princess of Friendship: Sunset Shimmer. Rather than the awful futures she's seen before, she now finds herself in a timeline that actually seems nice. But that means she has a tough decision to make...

This story was written as a prize commission for the Smile Album Charity Event. The original prize was one by Stormy Seas and he provided the original premise for this story. He always wanted a story that could be shared and enjoyed by everyone, so be sure to thank him if you know him.

One day, Applejack was petrified by a cockatrice in the Everfree forest.
It was a long time before she was ever revived.

A story of moving through lives and the bonds forged in-between.

Was begun before the season four finale, so disregard anything in canon relating to Tirek. He does not exist in this story's timeline.

Rainbow Dash comes up with a new pick-up line, but it doesn't seem to be landing.

Long Haul's mail route takes him all over Equestria, barely giving him time to stop. He spends almost every waking moment in the air, and that gives him a unique view on the gift of flight most pegasi possess.

This story is a sequel to Trials of Blood and Kindness

Mistress Flutterbat has been living with her family in Cloudsdale, where her parents did their best to lead the local clan of thestrals in peace for centuries. However, after a terrible tragedy that changed her life forever, the young thestral was forced to flee Cloudsdale and seek a new home in Ponyville.

Now known as Fluttershy, and with Rainbow Dash by her side, she is trying to heal old wounds in her heart and find a meaning to her empty life.

Will a vampony with a good heart and kind nature survive in a world that sees her as a threat?

Will she be able to keep a low profile, away from the silver arrows of monster hunters?

And most importantly, will her friends help her during these hard times, or will they ultimately turn against her?

This story takes place years before Nightmare Moon’s return.

As the newest Princess of Equestria, Twilight Sparkle will have to face many changes and challenges in her new life. However little does she realise that one of the major changes was set in motion a long time ago, as nopony can come out unscathed from a fight with a demigoddess. Now however, days after her coronation Twilight will have to face the consequences. And the decisions she will have to make in the nearest future may very well change Equestria forever.

“No,” Twilight said with the finality of Judgment Day and Ragnarok combined and tripled. “Eventually there’s nopony left at the party. It’s over. There is no more party.”

Pinkie Pie is suddenly forced to confront the inevitable (albeit distant) end of all things, and does so about as well as you'd expect.

Disclaimer: I wrote this in an hour. It doesn't reflect the overall quality of my work, unless you loved it, in which case it absolutely does.

Celestia: a filly of twelve. A cynical, hungry pauper, with a young sister to protect and feed.

But the food has run out. Winter has gripped the land for too long, and now the pair face starvation.

The cynic in Celestia knows she can't move the sun. But the child in her wonders... and so she tries.
