In the far reaches of Canterlot Castle, high above in the towers lived the archmage. Everypony knew her, yet few had met her.

Twilight Sparkle sighed, having teleported away another noble seeking favors before reaching the top of the stairs for the second time today. They never learned. As the archmage, she already dealt with political squabbles far too often without inviting them into her home. Aside from personal favors for Celestia, she did what was required of her position and then returned to seclusion and research.

The nobility grumbled that no archmage should be a commoner, and Twilight’s disrespect toward them proved it. Each and every time they were forced to bow to her, they hated what they saw: the position, the status, the deference.

Was she not powerful? Was she not great?

Twilight, now reading through dusty scrolls and long forgotten tales, wrote in her notes — notes gathering dust of their own. A brief thought flashed through her mind.

Am I not powerful? Am I not great?

And then Twilight picked up The Tale of the Royal Pony Sisters.

Defunct side stories told in Across the Boundary. They can still provide a little context, but when in doubt, the main story here is canon.

It has been a terrible week, in Craig’s very educational opinion. Firstly, he woke up in a cave covered in dust, and he doesn’t really like dust. Secondly, he can’t remember when Equestrian became so advanced. So many cities! Thirdly, the lands are so different, he can barely tell his way around. Fourthly, critters from every forest he’s wandered keep jumping him. Fifthly, nearly everypony that sees him either faint, stare, or just run away screaming; it’s actually kind of amusing. It’s like they’ve never seen an Alicorn before, or is there something on his face? Let him just... Sixthly, everypony he’s been able to eavesdrop on seems like they speak Ponish but... don’t? Seventhly, why are Marks called ‘Cutie Marks’ now? When did this happen? When he gets back to his throne, he will fix this insulting problem. No pride is involved or anything...

Lastly, and the worst, his own daughters don’t even remember him! This is something he must repair. “How?” you ask? Why, snuggling of course!

Goodness! Thank you guys so much for the support! Love you all!

I had this neat idea that I am certain others had that I want to share! Basically, as you can already tell, Craig McCracken in Equestria, but a very confused version of him and with a story to tell. I really love this old man and the shows he has made, along with the cast for each show, but I guess I’m being biased, since most of his creations were most of my childhood. I feel I at least know or predict him enough to be comfortable with dialogue and personality traits in this Pony character I’ve imagined. Most of the time, he is confused but with purpose; I feel it's the cutest side of him. I can say with certainty that it will not be perfect, nothing is, and I will not hit the right notes most of the time, but I have you guys here! Feel free to add constructive criticism, I’ll appreciate every last bit! If you can’t, that’s alright, just reading my crazy stuff is more than enough. Thank you!

My ‘Old Ponish’ isn’t the best, but I hope you enjoy! Oh, and remember, just because the show has ended, doesn’t mean its “ended”. The fandom will live for a very long time.

This story is a sequel to Unchanging Love

The explosion of love from the defeat at Canterlot hit harder and reached farther than any changeling expected. Firefly felt the effects as much as any, but she also gained something wonderful and priceless from it. Though this gift brought her a kind of joy she had never expected, she fears one question more than anything.

What trials will she and Fine Roast face when the invasion's inevitable fallout reaches them?

Big thanks to Cursori, SigmasonicX, Dogman15 (Chapters 2-5), and Ghost Mike for editing.

This story is a sequel to Complications

After getting into a bargain with Discord and having the aspect of pegasus replaced with that of a thestral, Page is having some trouble with some of the things he discover with time and some choices made, may have unforeseen side effects.

Then again, all decisions have their effects on the world around you. Be it making a deal with chaos or choosing tea instead of coffee. Or sneaking up on a jumpy sun goddess. No matter what you choose to do, there are always going to be Repercussions.

AN// Big thanks to Sipioc for the awesome cover image!

You, a young human living in Canterlot, have never fit in with anyone. It's been years since you were found in Equestria, and you've become a small outcast in this world of ponies. Hiding away from everyone, you find solace in another strange being, a weird black bug-like filly that calls herself Chrysalis.

A group of pony radicals try to summon a demon to overthrow the princesses. Instead they got a human. They don't know what a human is.

Long ago, a terrible monster known as Ninetails unleashed a reign of destruction upon a distant land before being defeated by holy priests. While helping the land recover and purifying monsters, a fox they had in their care spawned a second tail. Despite knowing the risks, the priests believed she could be a force for good and began to train her in the ways of healing and purification. 

However, not long after gaining her third tail, word of her existence began to spread, causing her caretakers to fear for her life. They decided to send her to a distant land, a land of peace, harmony, and friendship. There, Princess Celestia found her and, interested in her ability to purify monsters, took the three-tailed fox in with the hopes she could save her fallen sister.

"Will she find acceptance and happiness among ponies? Will she save Luna? One thing is certain, her race's heritage and instincts won’t make it easy."

This story starts 50 years before Nightmare Moon Return. Humans make appearance only in prologue and they do not play any significant role later in the story. This is not pokemon in Equestria, main character is a Kitsune. Warning, bleeding, religious themes and fluff is to be expected.

Today I did not wake up in a place I recognize. Not that I can remember how I got here. Where even is here? A castle of crystals in a magical world of pastel-colored talking horses. It's like a dream, only I'm also a wearied, mutant bug monster.

What in the world is a changeling? Oh, and what is that about a war we're apparently responsible for? This looks like it's shaping up to be a hell of a new day, at least, if I don't get squashed like a bug before it can even start.

This story is a sequel to Principal Noses and Ancient Roses

Baked Bean, fresh off his victory over the sirens at Canterlot High, is now eagerly preparing for the arrival of his first child with his beloved Princess Celestia while still attempting to perform his royal duties.

But old foes still lurk in the shadows, and Celestia's pregnancy may offer a few unique challenges as well. It will take everything Baked Bean can give to endure the coming storm...

Or maybe he just needs to provide Celestia with a deep-fried pickle covered in chocolate sauce and smothered in sauerkraut.
