This is Comet, Comet Trail. A grey pegasus-- Unicorn... Err, Alicorn? He's new in ponyville, and seems to hit thing off pretty well, well, as good as any socially awkward stallion can in a town that the spirit of chaos wanted to make into the chaos capital. He's rather cryptic and avoids talking about himself, but it's all okay since Twilight seems to trust him. Right? Why shouldn't you trust a cryptic and secretive Alicorn what just disappears in a blink of an eye and has a shadowy aura around him?
Anyway, this takes place after episode 13 season 5

On hiatus, until I know where I want to take things, or if I'll begin from scratch.

Thanks to:
*Zoetic-Zebra, for amazing cover-art.

One night, during a freak storm, a dark stallion wonders out of the evergreen forest and collapses outside Fluttershy's cottage. But after being treated in the infirmary, he is found to have no memory or any recollection of his past life. What no pony knew was that a monstrous army was forming with a goal of destroying all creatures of chaos, along with ending the Alicorns rule and inslaving the populace of equestria. Can the lives of all ponies rely on the beasts they once aimed to destroy and warriors long thought to be myths?

Aecorum was once the High Prince of the Sea, who stood alongside Celestia and Luna in the battle with Discord and helped rule over Equestria. But after he used the Elements of Harmony with Celestia to banish Nightmare Moon, he left. He blamed himself for what had happened, so he erased himself from history and from the memories of everypony in Equestria, even Celestia herself! He trapped himself in a network of caves by the sea, and lived in solitude for a thousand years. But now Luna has returned, she has regained her lost power, but she can’t find her old friend. What will happen when she discovers what he did? Will she find the stallion she considered her dearest friend and convince him to return? Or will he remain alone with his guilt and shame forever?

Story was almost cancelled, but then I realised that I still wanted to keep writing just a little further.
Just some forewarning though. This story is not for everyone. It is a slow-burn slice-of-life which lacks much serious threat. There is no big villain, and the storyline progresses quite slowly and you may get bored.
I am still new-ish to writing, so the writing quality (especially surrounding characters and dialogue) may leave something to be desired.

A story about someone with limited knowledge of the show, (basic facts on a small scale, no timeline stuff) wakes up as an alicorn (early-teen) in Canterlot. He is not happy about this fact.

General info:
No, they do not have OP alicorn powers. Yes, they are sort-of a foal, but not of baby age and this will not affect their personality or emotional-capacity in any way.
Gender swapping? No, I asked in the comments, people want a male alicorn.
Will this impact my other story (Clouds)? Probably, depends on if people want me to continue it or not.
Tags will be updated with story.

"All life is only a set of pictures in the brain, among which there is no difference betwixt those born of real things and those born of inward dreamings, and no cause to value the one above the other."

-H. P. Lovecraft, The Silver Key

Ever since the conflict with Nightmare Moon, Dusk Shine has been having strange visions. Visions of the future, visions of what could have been, and visions of things that don't make any sense. Will he unlock the mystery behind these anomalies that only he seems to be aware of? Or will his obsession combined with the lack of social experience break his new friendship with five extraordinary girls before it can even form?

One thing is for sure. this is more than just a simple retelling of Twilight Sparkle's journey.

Don't forget to take a look at the Appendix for expanded explanations on the lore of the world.

Inspired by Meme-asaurus' The Unexpected Love Life of Dusk Shine and Psi-nova's Dusk Shine's Saga

Rated T for violence, some sexual humor and very mild language.

My Little Pony, Friendship Is Magic, as told by Dusk Shine, Princess Celestia's asocial, conspiracy theorist, and unrepentantly punny student. An AU fic that both expands upon and diverges from canon. Follow the misadventures of Dusk Shine as he navigates the waters of social interaction and friendship with varying degrees of success, follows the show pretty closely at the start, but as the story progresses it will drift further from canon.

Dusk Shine has dealt with many trails throughout his life. From clashing with Nightterror Nebula to outwitting the mischievous Eris to thwarting King Nymphamos’s invasion, he'd seen it all.

All in all, Dusk Shine would admit that life was hardly easy. And now, Dusk finds that his mentor's self loathing is the least of his problems as he finds himself thrust into a world where he and his friend... are mares?

I was around for a long time, kicking Kaiju ass and taking names, but then I was hurt, badly. I had escaped to rest and regain my strength, only to be awaken by enemies I had thought I had killed long ago. But that's not the worst part, the worst part is that something is coming to Equestria, something that makes even the most feared Kaiju, even me, shake in fear. I just pray that I am strong enough to deal with this threat before it wipes out my home.

5000 years ago Celestia and Luna imprisoned another, male, alicorn to keep him from killing himself, his name was Crimson Fang and he held the titles of the God of Fear and the King of Monsters. When their king was imprisoned, vamponies, werewolves, ghouls and many other kinds o Monsters went into hiding and eventually faded into obscurity. Today the ponies of Equestria think that they are just stories. But the Monster King is about to be feed from his stone prison, and both his kingdom and subjects will rise again.

What follows is a tale of love between the newly crowned Princess Twilight Sparkle and the ancient King of Monsters as they fight off the Thirteen Archdemons. Ancient friends and enemies of the Monster King will return, relationships will blossom and secret familial relations will be revealed.

To find out what adventures await these ponies, read on...

Last night, Dusk Shine-favorite student of Prince Helios and newly ascended alicorn-went to bed in a Ponyville where all of his friends were stallions and a major event was about to happen the next day. When he woke up, Dusk Shine had swapped placed with an alicorn mare named Twilight Sparkle. And, all of the friends and ponies that were male in his Ponyville were now female.

But, with the Princes (or is that Princesses?) coming tomorrow, Dusk Shine has no time to figure out what happened or what went wrong. Preparations need to be made and friends need to be consulted to get ready for the event. After all, everything else was just like his Ponyville. Surely it shouldn't be a problem, right?

Right?

A story that is inspired by and runs parallel with One Of Those Days by Taranth.
