Twilight is packing up her tiny, closet lab at Crystal Prep to leave for her new friends at Canterlot High School. Before she leaves, Sugarcoat pokes in to say something.

Midnight Sparkle and Demon Shimmer - the shadows of Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer. When your host resists you however she can, there's not much you can do but cringe at the sight, and wait. Wait, wait; and wait some more.

Surely if they'd need to kill their time, it wouldn't come to them getting to know each other better.

After all, they were not the same as their hosts. Right?

Quick mini-entry for the EqG Spring-Fling contest!

Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer both have once had an alternate form, showing their corruption through magic: These forms were Midnight Sparkle, and an unnamed demonic form, respectively.

This is the story of their first meeting, and how they became the first comedic couple in the realm of magic.

Warning: Rated "T" and tagged "Dark" for swearing and malevolent thoughts.

Now on TVTropes!

Anyone at Crystal Prep who knew Twilight Sparkle would never assume that this shy bookworm with top grades in all subjects could hold something evil within.

Thus, when said bookworm turned into Midnight Sparkle under the influence of the magic she released, everyone present was shocked to see their classmate become a callous and ruthless she-demon.

Nobody could understand: why? Twilight wasn't evil... was she?

Failing to understand the reasons behind that horrific transformation, Rainbooms and Shadowbolts decided to ask the newest CHS student herself about that. Initially reluctant, Twilight agrees, revealing the side of her that no one had suspected to exist...

This story is a sequel to Thanatosian Love

The demon inside Twilight does not know her very well.

But it knows what she is capable of and contemplates their future together.

A young woman catches the eye of a stunning vampiress and finds herself transfixed, longing for the undying embrace of Twilight Sparkle, the former Regent of the Night.

Inspired by a conversation between Monochromatic and myself ages ago.

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!

One year ago, the immortal moon lich died.

One year ago, Twilight Sparkle the so-called human moved to Ponyville.

Rarity never believed that, of course. The "human" bit. After all, no human would willingly choose to live in a town of monsters, and no amount of magic or hunting orders or Plans with a capital "P" would ever change her mind on that—especially when said human was so constantly collected and calm.

But... if she wasn't human, what kind of monster could she be?

Written for the Raritwi-deprived Monochromatic, who so graciously let me cook for 1/4th of a year. Huge thanks to Swan Song for prereading, and to everyone I pestered for synonyms whenever the last of my braincells refused to word. Cover art by me!

Twilight and Rarity are just your ordinary mages from Ponyville. One enjoys fashion, while the other enjoys particle physics. But these girls are the best of friends, sharing many common interests with one another. So they delight in the task given to them by Princess Celestia to protect the Diamond Muffin from theft. Too bad they're vying to steal it for themselves.
That's right, Twilight and Rarity are burglars, and neither one knows it yet. But when they find out, will they try to stay friends, or finish the job first?
