After the events of Siege of the Crystal Empire, the ex-King Sombra and Radiant Hope travel the world to resemble Princess Amore to atone for Sombra's past mistakes. All the while dealing with demons of the past and preparing for the future.

Commissioned by Holycross9, a long time follower of mine.

Okay...if you've been following me for any length of time, you know that I hated Siege of the Crystal Empire. A lot. I've gone on record and said I consider it the worst comic IDW has ever produced. And that I considered Radiant Hope unsympathetic and do NOT like her.

But I ALSO said I had intents to do fix fics because I felt the amount wasted potential in that comic was a large part of why I hated it.

So when I got this commission, Holycross let me try to fix some of those issues while I was at it.

Note, I didn't say an ACCUSATION fic or a 'beat up the character I dislike' fic. I don't blieve in those.

This wasn't easy to do, given my feelings for the subject matter, but I'm okay with how it came out, I hope you like it!

As Cozy Glow, Queen Chrysalis and Lord Tirek are about to take control on Equestria, their plan is ruined but soon revived with many questions along the way...

In one timeline, Discord decided that the best way to get a group of villains to learn friendship was to pretend to be a spooky old goat and strongarm them into trying to conquer Equestria together.

This would turn out to be a terrible plan.

In another timeline, Discord took five seconds to actually think and run this plan by someone else before jumping in head first. Maybe the cashier at Whinndy’s wasn't the best pony to ask for advice, but he loved the plan she suggested even more.

It too, was a terrible plan.

Grogar's ancient machinations finally come together as he leads the Legion of Doom against Canterlot. Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow want to rule for themselves, however, and intend to betray him as soon as it's convenient. Can Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash save Equestria?

Other significant characters: Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunburst, Trixie, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, Student/Young Six. Spoiler characters: Windigos, Mean Twilight Sparkle, King Sombra.

Author's note: I decided to rewrite episodes S9E24 and S9E25 as if Grogar were real and the finale were a four-parter. This story takes everything up to and including S9E23 as canon, and took inspiration from a huge variety of sources, including the finale trailer (though it does not strictly hold canon to the trailer).

I give my deep, heartfelt thanks my kind editors and prereaders, as well as the lovely anons on /mlp/ where I've been posting the first draft. My deepest thanks of all go to triq267, who's been helping me at every stage of the story with ideas and advice.

Featured 1/6/2020, and again 1/14/2020, 8/3/2020, 9/17/2020, 10/3/2021, and 10/25/221! Thank you guys!

Since being encased in stone was impermanent, the princesses figured to put them in Tartarus with magic-proof bars to prevent them from escaping similar to what they did before. Hopefully, they don't do anything repugnant...

Queen Chrysalis, Lord Tirek, Cozy Glow and King Sombra are brought together to be part of the same team. Their task? Learn how to work together and defeat their enemies. They are not happy about it at all.

The story begins after The Beginning of the End - Part 1.

Many thanks to EverfreePony for her wonderful help with editing.

Harmony is dead.

After a long, desperate war, the vile ponies have finally conquered the last shreds of resistance anycreature had to offer. But as their crushed enemies are taken to their homeland in chains and cages, hope, the antithesis to ponykind, remains in the form of three individuals.

Together, they Hope to take back their lands. They Hope to rebel against the wicked ponies. They Hope to free the world, and return Harmony to it...somehow. These days, Hope is all they have left.

But at least they have each other, and with friendship, anything is possible.

Among the disarray of Princess Twilight's personal archives was a letter. Twilight's reign over Equestria was profoundly cherished by those who have lived it. One of the many decisions that her majesty has made, one many historians continue to debate today, is Discord's exile.

Many saw it as the most suitable punishment for the Lord of Chaos. The kingdom hasn't met any catastrophe relating to chaos since. But after this letter was published and open for the public to see, the decision became quite controversial with the newer generations of Equestrians.

Whatever opinions you may have after finishing this letter, know that these are the last written words from the Element of Kindness after she disappeared.

FLUTTERCORD SUBMISSION DAY #1: Distance

This is my first entry to FimFic and my submission for Fluttercord week. Killing two birds with one stone, or as I like to call it: Masscareing two chores with a chainsaw. A bit pretentious, I know.
Please critique the work as hard as you can, and I hope you'll enjoy my work for days to come.

The Legion of Doom have finally learned the spells that can activate Grogar’s Bell. As they seek to absorb its great magical power, they experience a whole series of unexpected events that completely frustrates them and nearly drives them insane. It is a day that they did not expect to happen.

The legion of doom.
Tirek, Cozy Glow, and Chrysalis.
In the garden together. Forever. Just the three of them.
This is gonna be a miserable existence.
