Having just finished her evening duties, Twilight heads to the dining hall for her customary meal with Celestia and Luna; tonight they're joined by one special guest.

NOTE: This was just a concept I had in mind and simply wrote it. There is no grand planning or hidden message in it, just a need and want to create something out of the ordinary.

Being the guards officially assigned to work directly for Queen Haven may not be the most stress free job in the world, but Thunder Flap and Zoom Zephyrwing wouldn't have it any other way. They've dedicated their lives to being there for her majesty, and come rain or shine (or whatever else there might be), nothing will stop them from carrying out their duties.

Follow the two on a typical day of service, juggling many responsibilities and assignments. Whether it be managing security detail when Queen Haven pays a visit to somewhere, smuggling in Alphabittle for a "meeting" with the queen, or even just making arrangements for Zipp and Pipp's visit with their mom.

All in a day's work for Zephyr Heights' best guards. The smiles from the queen are the only payment and thanks they'll ever need.

Two years ago, Rainbow Dash was attacked by a werewolf. She survived, but became a werewolf. After the Battle of the Bands, she finds herself telling her friends what she is.
But the old trauma remains, and when trying to help another friend adjust to become a werewolf, too, Rainbow Dash finds herself struggling to keep up with her old nightmares, and prevent Lyra Heartstrings from the same fears.

The sun is shining, the birds are singing. When Fluttershy stepped out of her cottage it was a perfect summer day. Or at least it would have been if she hadn't come across a certain rainbow-maned mare in her yard. One thing she wasn't expecting to find herself asking today was the odd question...

Why is Rainbow Dash eating her flowers?

She is youngest monarch to ever ascend the throne on the continent... in the youngest nation on the continent. She has been groomed to etch her name in history and with all the tools at her disposal to realize her noble goals: A roaring economy, an eager population, and a nascent, rising empire. She would lead Alemaneia into an era of prosperity and prestige.

Her proponents (who feel she would bring young, modern blood to the nobility) and her skeptics (who feel she is far too young and cannot possibly have the ability to stand up to their regional rivals) both look upon her career with immense interest.

Perhaps everypony, in some way, would be right about her. And perhaps everypony, in some way, would be wrong about her.

So very, very wrong.

A six-part story of an unprecedented rise, and a spiraling, tragic fall of Regenfall IV.
Set in the Flower Mare Universe. Reading is NOT required, but I certainly won't stop you if you want to read the series.

Twilight did her duty. She saved everypony she could, except herself. Now trapped by an evil cult, in more pain than she has even been in before, and dying on a sacrificial altar, she calls for help. The Nightmare answers.

Will Twilight become the next evil to threaten the world or will the Nightmare simply be glad to have some freedom? One thing is for certain, Twilight's life will never be the same again.

[Warning Spoilers] Twilight's Nightmare Art

Sunset Shimmer isn't a normal girl. She can levitate objects with her mind, shoot hot energy from her palms, and when she's scared, she can disappear and reappear somewhere else entirely.

Her parents know. Her siblings know. What they don't know is how different Sunset really is.

When nightmarish creatures attack and kidnap her sister, Sunset ventures into the unknown and discovers a world teetering on the edge of total darkness.

What begins as a rescue mission turns into a struggle to save a kingdom, as Sunset learns just who and what she is, and the weight that comes with it.

In an Equestria where the mirror portal didn't exist; a very different fate awaits Sunset Shimmer.

After her sister's banishment, Celestia realized it was her failure that led to her sister's fall, and she vowed to build a better nation that her sister would have wanted. Here, Nightmare Moon is neither myth nor legend; everyone is taught about what truly happened to Princess Luna, and that the two are one and the same. Through her millennia of atonement, Celestia upholds her sister's visions for a better Equestria, reviving her lost legacy.

Now, at the 1000th summer sun celebration, the town of Ponyville is ready. Eager to witness the historic event, everyone's there to show their love and appreciation as they welcome the Princess of the Night's return. Would Nightmare Moon still seek retribution and bring nighttime eternal? Or would she reunite with her long-lost sister, graciously returning to her throne? It doesn't matter to Celestia. She just wants to see her sister once again.

In the heart of Equestria, shadows gather and secrets lie buried. A young alicorn named Nyx carries the weight of a dark past, while a relentless adversary seeks revenge that could shatter her resolve. As a deadly game of intentions unfolds, alliances will be tested, and the boundaries of morality blurred. Unveil the enigmatic journey where loyalties waver and a sinister peril looms, threatening to unleash chaos upon an unsuspecting land. 'Black Feather' is a tale of mystery, vengeance, and the choices that define heroes and villains.
