Spitfire's career picked up shortly after leaving the Young Performer's Camp. But one of her oldest friends, the Great and Powerful Trixie, hasn't shared in the Wonderbolts captain's success; in fact, most of Ponyville thinks she's far from great or powerful! But maybe all this magician needs is a friendly push in the right direction... or maybe much, much more. Whatever it takes, the power of friendship will see it through! ...right?

(Re-vamp of an older fic of the same name. Takes place from shortly after "Boast Busters" and goes to current time. Light-heavy shipping in later chapters...? We'll see!

This story is a sequel to Hidden In The Dark

Chrysalis and Luna have been dating for some time now. It's time the others knew about their relationship.

Past Editors: FluttershyisMetal & Fantasia Archsage

Not long after the events of the Crystal Empire, Fluttershy discovers the remains of King Sombra's horn in a field while out on a picnic. She accidently releases the tyrant, only to find that he's weak and hurt. And so, unknown to her friends, the mare begins caring for the broken tyrant in hopes that she could maybe reform him...

Instead of landing in the Badlands after the failed changeling coup in Canterlot, Chrysalis awakes in the Everfree, under the care of a certain zebra. She's in no shape to fly or use magic, so she'll have to tolerate her annoying caretaker... for now. But sooner or later, she'll have to leave to regroup with her subjects, and she can't afford to leave any witnesses breathing.

This story is a sequel to What if: Rarity from The Three Sisters met with Chrysalis

Choosing whether or not to visit Chrysalis has been bugging Rarity for a week since receiving an invitation to do so. But there seems to be trouble brewing in the Hive and Rarity now has little time to act. Either way, her family's future rests in her hooves.

Now with a TV Tropes page! Warning: Will Contain spoilers.

A thousand years ago the princesses both had a devoted pupil. A special spell had been placed upon these students by those loyal to them. If ever a princess should be incapacitated, than the spell would place that princess's student into stone until the princess regained their position. When this spell was originally created, it was merely thought to be a method of keeping the student under the control, it was never thought that one of the two princesses would ever actually be incapacitated, that is until princess Luna was banished to the moon.

All comments welcome. Suggestions are even more welcome.

Also available on Fanfiction.net if you prefer it.

For almost a thousand years, the immortal Nightmare Moon has reigned over Equestria as Empress. To the average pony, Nightmare Moon is an overarching enigma whose rule is absolute and whose wrath is terrible. But to Twilight Sparkle, who as an orphan has never known her parents, the Empress is something else entirely. When the young unicorn is brought under the royal wing as an apprentice, she learns a great deal more about the supposed tyrant than she ever knew. But as Twilight is introduced to life with her new mentor, she is thrust into a world of political intrigue, conspiracies and secrets. Secrets that were never meant to be revealed. As allies and enemies plot against the very peace of the nation, will Twilight fall prey to the perils of her new position? Or will she prosper and find in Nightmare Moon the mother she never had?

My eternal gratitude to my editor, LordOfTheWrongs, without whom Night's Favoured Child would not be the story it is today.

Now with added TVtropes!

What started as a normal friendly visit ends up taking two ponies on a trip down memory lane that leads them both to realize their friendship began even before Rainbow Dash's first sonic rainboom.

Princess Celestia tires of constantly being surrounded by decorum, deference, and formality, and decides to take a day off from being Princess. But visiting Ponyville incognito is harder than she expects. Will she be able to fit in and make friends without blowing her cover?

Twilight travels to Canterlot to comfort Princess Luna. Thus she spends much time with the royal alicorn -- but not only in the living realm of Equestria. Strange dreams of the regal mare start to overtake her sleep, and soon Twilight realizes that the Princess is triggering feelings she has never felt before.

Can Twilight admit her emotions to Luna? If so, how? And then why is Luna turning into Nightmare Moon again?

Read and find out.
