For nearly one thousand years Celestia's Hearth's Warming Day has been a lonely time, better spent on reflection and sadness than joy and celebration.

But an encounter with a certain griffon chef may just change that fact this year...

Contest entry for the Unloved Couples group's Hearth Warming Romance competition.

Sequel to 'No Glimmer of Hope'

The wicked false former king of the Crystal Empire survived the power of the Crystal Heart, and since then had been wandering Equestria, waiting patiently as his strength slowly returned.

He stumbled across a snowy mountain, and found a cave in which he took refuge in.

The darkness in the mountains tunnels shall offer him no mercy.

Read the sequel here! A SOMBRA END

Starlight Glimmer ran into the tunnels of the snowy mountains after narrowly evading capture at the hooves of the ponies she had tried to teach her ideals of true friendship and harmony to before they turned against her.

It is in these tunnels she ran into. It is these tunnels that she will remain. Forever.

Done as a personal challenge to write a quick Season 5-based fanfic in half an hour. I hope I did good.

The pony race is in decline. Equestria is nearing an end, ravaged by war and betrayal. Celestia has ruled her kingdom for centuries beyond counting, but even she is not truly immortal. Death has come at last to claim the weakening princess.

Death is not evil, nor is he good. He simply is.

My first fanfic. Feel free to leave critique!

In a freak accident from the Cloudsdale weather control team, Twilight is struck down by an errant lightning bolt. But the veil of death is relatively thin...

Bon Bon visits Lyra at the mental hospital.

At the request of Dr. Quest Colton, the following data logs and observation notes have been compiled about the case study surrounding Subject 1 and the highly infectious anomoly that now plagues ponies in the hundreds. It is the doctor's hope that these files will eventually help us find a cure before all of Equestria suffers this horrific end. Subjects 2, 3, 4, and 5 are also presenting troubling afflictions and will be recieving case studies of their own. Princess Twilight's sudden death could not have come at a worse time for us all.

Hope you enjoy my first MLP Infection AU :)

A post-apocalyptic story about exploring ruins, the mistakes of another civilization, and memory.

No one must ever know,
This land where we must go,
They hoped and shared their love,
Yet death rained from above,
The scars of passing linger on,
Through empty husks and unheard songs.
Although they now live in my heart,
The truth still hurts...where do I start?-Twilight Sparkle

Coverart by this guy who is awesome. THIS GUY Also, major thanks to Luna-tic for helping me edit this sucker! Perhaps even bigger thanks to Obabscribbler who made a radio play of it. You can find that radio play HERE!

At the end of days, Twilight writes her final letter to Princess Celestia, then makes a decision about her future. Inspired in part by the Aviators song 'One Last Letter,' and by the events of the Season 4 premiere.
