Past Sins AU. What would happen if Nyx was found by some-pony other than Twilight Sparkle? Some-pony who did not have her best interests at heart-- like a certain Changeling Queen? Inspired by Glimpses, by Pen Stroke.

This story is a sequel to Undead Robot Bug Crusaders

Apple Bloom is an undead ghoul, but that's OK. She's finally come to terms with her condition, and is determined to rise above her curse.

Sweetie Belle is a robot, but that's OK. With manual in hoof, she's prepared to learn everything she can about herself, and whatever the future holds.

Scootaloo is a changeling, but that's OK. Changelings are citizens now, and she's ready to do her part to show the world changelings can be friendly too.

Together, the three of them are getting by, one day at a time. They may never get their cutie marks, but that's not going to stop them from having fun, finding their talents, and maybe even going a week without causing massive amounts of property damage. Maybe.

Meanwhile, Babs Seed is still blissfully unaware of the unusual destiny that awaits her, Diamond Tiara is slowly finding her place in the world, and Ponyville is still the weirdest town in Equestria. But then again, what else is new?

This story is a sequel to Batmane, the dark steed

Coco Pommel, despite having grown up with pony parents, despite the fact that she felt ponies as her brothers, her equals, knew that she was far from being a normal pony. During her youth, her physical abilities were strengthened, at 7 years old she was already stronger than an adult earth pony, soon after she discovered that she was faster than a pony should be, and her senses were prodigious.

After a turning point in her life, Coco has decided to travel the world in search of her place in it, her destiny. After a long time, she will find her role, she will become a symbol of hope, the mare of tomorrow... Supermare.

Note: the sex tag is for some slightly off-color character jokes, aside from that, there's nothing more to it, don't worry.

Everything was going well for Queen Chrysalis of the changeling Swarm. She had fooled the ponies completely and the barrier that blocked her swarm was gone. Victory was all but assured as her changelings descended upon the helpless city of Canterlot.

Yet, even after all of that, there would be no victory for the changelings. A barrier of pure love would repel the invasion and bring about the end of Queen Chrysalis’s great swarm. With what fleeting magic she had left, Chrysalis attempted to slow the barrier's expansion in a desperate attempt to allow her swarm to escape.

She succeeded, but at a terrible cost. Magic drained, wings gone and chitin cracking. The only thought that went through her mind as the renewed barrier launched her through the air at close to the speed of sound was how she hoped her sacrifice was not in vain.

Then she hit the ground, and the Queen was dead. Her life ended as her broken body collided against the sand of a faraway desert. Yet her journey would not end here, for the Gardener had chosen her, and the Queen would live again.

Now armed with a strange companion and power known only as ‘the Light’ a new mare, devoid of her previous life's memories, must find her place in the world before her past returns to finish what they started.

Still takes place in Equestria not on earth

A Destiny Crossover. Knowing the lore is not needed to understand this story. I was very meticulous about that. Everything you learn, you learn with our Chrysalis.

Soft Step feels terrible, and Fluttershy picks up on it.

Indigo Zap was the star athlete of Crystal Prep Academy. Way more athletic than she had any right to be, and always looking for a challenge, she helped the school's reputation immensely. Everyone respected her.

But no one knew what lied beneath the surface. No one knew why she was such a loner, even by Crystal Prep standards.

She rarely, if ever hung out with others, often rushing back home after practice. And she rarely called or texted anyone, and no one even knew what hobbies she had. That was by design, because Indigo didn't WANT them to know.

After all, how could they understand her obsession when even she didn't?

Edit (9/15/22): Edited a small detail about the number of sketchbooks. Not too important, but simply made the number smaller to fit new continuity details.

A thestral awakens in the Everfree forest after being subject to a deep dreadful darkness. Once found, our hero discovers the world is under an eternal night sky, and Nightmare Moon queen of the lands has driven a line amongst the various pony tribes. Now a rebellion looms, and politics are thick with corruption and fear. In a world clad in stars, what hope can there be for the ever waiting dawn?

Or will shadow consume shadows and let darkness reign forevermore. It doesn't always take a hero, sometimes it takes something more.

Featured on 10.05.22. What a way to make my day.

Twilight Sparkle – the prized acolyte of Queen Celestia. Bright and brilliant, the young maren has but one goal in mind: to advance the Harmonic sciences of Equestria to levels accomplished only once before by Starswirl himself.

But despite her years of study and devotion, the world itself seemed to be against such a goal. At every turn, something blocked each plan and stomped out each project before they could even get in motion.

With her time running out before the dreaded age of child birthing, Twilight focused on nothing but her life goal. Each failure grew her desperation, pushing her further into isolation and forcing wilder ideas regardless of consequences.

Until the Queen brought a final stop to it all, gently ordering Twilight to take a moment to breathe and live outside of papers. Unable to contain her obsession, Twilight follows the Queen’s command. She heads to an insignificant backwater town in the hopes of resuming her projects, out from the ever-watchful eye of her mentor.

Unbeknownst to herself, this single, simple action sets into motion a series of events that lead her closer to her goals, serving to spark the journey needed to solve her past roadblocks.

All she needs to do is make some friends.
