Diamond Tiara and Apple Bloom hate each other. Their hate is strong, and pure. But their families are such good friends, and have plans for the two fillies to be together through marriage. They will have none of this hate between the two fillies.

In order to protect their hatred towards each other, the two run away to their new life of forever being mortal enemies, in the hopes that one day they can be apart from each other in peace.

Entry into the 2013 NaPoWriMo event.

Word count: 51,140/50,000 (going by Microsoft Word's word count, as fimfic seems to like adding words to chapters when they are uploaded, and also counting words in chapters not yet completed). Goal reached: 21/09/2013 @ 22:46 GMT.

Diamond Tiara Rich- wealthy, beautiful, spoiled rotten. Everypony hates her, but at the same time, they desperately want her life. But this life doesn't come without problems.

Diamond Tiara has always hated Apple Bloom, and who could blame her? She's annoying and pathetic and obviously insanely jealous. So anytime they see each other, Diamond tries to get it into her head that she, being rich and amazing, is way better. But after a particularly dicey encounter with her favorite victim, Diamond makes a mistake.

And that mistake sends her to boarding school.

Determined not to let her new circumstances get her down, Diamond vowed to have the entire school eating out of her hoof by the end of the year. But that's a little hard to do when the role of resident Queen Bee has already been filled...

But unbeknownst to anypony, strange forces are lurking close. A student hungers for power, and secrets of Equestria are revealed. Soon, it will be up to Diamond to decide what matters most- herself, or the ponies around her?

Takes place right after Call of the Cutie.

It's been a thousand years since anypony has seen the sun.

A thousand years since Celestia's name has been spoken, and all memory of her warmth and light has faded away into the night. The sun goddess of old had been killed during a coup by her sister, Nightmare Moon.

In this world of unrelenting darkness, three ponies find a ray of light. Hope.

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.

Two weeks. That was all the time that had passed. In that fortnight, Twilight Sparkle had been consumed by evil, locked away the two rulers of Equestria, and left Equestria in a darkness so black that nopony can see a hoof in front of their face. Celestia can feel her sanity slipping away as she lies helpless in her prison.

Note: contains violence and blood

In the future, Rainbow Dash and Octavia become 'Bounty Hunters', hunting for the heads of criminals they are hired to kill. They never failed a contract- that is, until they spotted Twilight Sparkle on their list. Now Rainbow is torn between her own survival and her childhood friend's, but when time comes- loyalty prevails. As they battle against an organisation larger than they could ever imagine, the first signs of war begin to show when intel suggests that someone is attempting to assassinate royalty.

A story that includes blades, guns, gangster hats, blood, and loyalty.

After a terrible storm sweeps through the Everfree, Fluttershy finds the weakened but still powerful King Sombra on her doorstep. Unable to resist his dark magic, she finds herself trapped by a spell that forces her to aid him, protect him, and heal him until he is strong once more, all while keeping his revival a secret from her friends. Unwilling to risk bringing her friends into the situation and endanger them, Fluttershy decides on a riskier tactic

If she could reform Discord, why not the Tyrant of the Crystal Empire. After all, with his spell keeping her from betraying his presence, it might be her only hope. Can she kill the Dark King with Kindness? Or will the ancient sorcerer once more stretch his shadow across Equestria?

...a fantastic fic, with one of the best paced romances you can find on this site, great prose, and one of the best characterized Octavia's I could point out. — Soge, TPCaRG (Read the review!)

PaulAsaran has crafted what may well be the best LunAvia ship on the site. —Cerulean Voice

Highly recommended if you like romance instead of the more typical shallow shipping. —City of Doors

If you're a fan of Luna and or Octavia, it's a crime not to indulge! —Wanderer D

I guarantee you will enjoy it. —vren55

Technically, this is flawless: the writing, the pacing, you name it, it's great. —PresentPerfect
