Deep in the Royal Library is a book. A terrible book that is said to send whoever reads it mad. A book so dangerous that it has to be hidden away and secured with chains to prevent it from ever being opened.

A book which has just been accidently checked out by Spike on behalf of Twilight Sparkle.

The Star In Yellow is rising once more, and only Rainbow Dash and Spike can save Twilight before it's too late. Ideas live forever. Ponies do not.

This fic is loosely inspired by the 19th century story 'The King In Yellow'.

This story is about a sad Applejack, that finds herself lost without a clue. And running out of hope. Yes she has many friends; is loved by many. Yet she cant help but feeling hopeless and like everything is worthless. Even herself. Her two friends are trying to help her. Yet can't figure out how. Her best friend Vinyl Scratch cant figure out how to save her. And she finds herself falling for her best friend Caramel. So a romantic twist in this heartbreaking tale of a pony without a clue.

Rainbow Dash has just passed away and is survived by her marefriend, Twilight Sparkle. Twilight is broken by the loss of her lover, and believes that she will never smile again. Will one last message from her true love be enough to pull her from her misery?

This story is inspired by the poem "Do not Stand at My Grave and Weep" by Mary Elizabeth Frye. A super big thanks goes out to Tyranasaurus0.0, TheStarsGuide, Magiccolt808, and Word-Sight for pre-reading and editing this!

He says not to give him credit, well too bad. He's a talented artist and he deserves all the credit he can get.

This story is similar to another story I've written so I expect to get flack for this one.

As always thank you for reading, and I appreciate any criticisms that you give!

EDIT: A member named Dimondium created a piano concerto for this story. You can find the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4uxdzoF6sA&feature=youtu.be

The song is very beautiful and, in this author's opinion, this story does not even compare to the heart tugging power of that song. Thank you Dimondium, you have no idea how honored I am.

Ponyville is not just all love, tolerance, happiness and friendship. One morning, Twilight Sparkle comes up with a brain tumour, and she gives up the will to live, the will to have friends, and the ambition of becoming as learned as StarSwirl the Bearded with magic. Will her friendship remain? Or will it be thrown away slowly and painfully like her life?

This fanfic is dedicated to all the poor patients of brain tumour, especially to my aunt, who recently contracted brain tumour. I hope it gives you all the support to live your life, no matter how bad your condition gets. Just remember, I will always have you all in my prayers :D

"War is no reason to end a friendship..."

Equestria, now torn into factions, each relying on tactics and sneaking agents in a constant war, is not what it used to be. There used to be flowers, peace, and the friendship all ponies shared amongst one another, but that was gone too, after individual areas began to want independence and tried to break off. In an attempt to create the perfect squad, the Harmony Operation was enacted so that they one day could restore peace to this forsaken land that was once so perfect and serene. These are the adventures of the mane six characters and their mission to restore Equestria, all the while meeting new and old friends alike.

Twilight can not find her pillow.

Metal Gear has fallen into the hooves of an Equestrian revolutionary, who, with the backing of his human mercenary allies, intends to use it to depose Celestia and crown himself ruler. Having crossed into Equestria in pursuit of this rogue weapon, the legendary Solid Snake must ally with the residents of Ponyville to prevent a nuclear catastrophe.

See also Equestria Gear Solid, the hilarious spin-off EQG parody in which everything you know is wrong, and every single character from the story is an awful caricature of themselves.

Now with its own TVtropes page!

Stephen has a nice chat with the Princess

Twilight finds herself enthralled by Princess Luna and everything she represents. As Celestia's pride and joy, Twilight struggles to repress these feelings. But an old and well-known evil surfaces again at the worst time. Can Twilight fight off the spectres of the past?

Princess Celestia, the fair ruler of all Equestria, has fallen under the control of a dark force, and has begun a rule of tyranny over her subjects. Using her powerful magic, whatever it is controlling Celestia has enslaved most of Equestria, turning once-upstanding Royal Guards into dark enforcers of her reign.

Not even the Elements of Harmony can stand up to this overwhelming power alone. It falls upon Celestia's own sister, the Princess of the Moon, Luna, to stop her sister once and for all. A lonely adventure to obtain three powerful relics to aid in her quest is in store, and Luna must come to terms with betrayal, combat, and her own feelings as both a princess and a sister.
