You have been working for the Apple Family for months now, but you find yourself unable to tell anypony your true thoughts and feelings. Instead you hide behind a mask so convincing that even the Element of Honesty believes it.

This story takes place in the same universe as my first story, Rising Sun, so if you have some questions look there before asking them. Anyway, enjoy this, and the two sequels, I Would Give to You, and Faux Pas of the Heart. Links to those stories can be found in the final chapter.

Sequel here

Twilight recieves a letter from her brother, containing some thrilling news and some alarming news. Before she knew it, her world crumbles.

A new threat has appeared in Equestria, one that has Deep ties to the past, and knows many Dark secrets. What the Princesses Celestia and Luna may find could reveal more to them about their ancestors than they wish to know. And what Twilight and her friends may discover of their rulers could shake the foundations Equestria was built upon.

The third story in my Haven Trilogy, designed to be longer in length with shorter chapters. Editors are switched partway through.

The War of the Night, an event so hushed up that only small legends left behind tell of the time it occurred. A discovered tome, however, reveals the history of the war, of the ruling sisters, and some things best left forgotten. Some things the two ruling sisters would prefer to remain hidden...

Finally posting this from Equestria Daily, where it earned a Star 6. This is the first story in the Haven Trilogy.

You are stranded in Equestria by means unknown. And now by a stroke of luck or an incredibly suspicious offer you are now a citizen of this great land and turned into a mackerel...no you silly, a pony! So, in the meantime you find yourself trying to live a simple life but in a town like Ponyville and anything can happen!

So join, Spiced Tea as he battles mood swings, the seasons, a deceptively sneaky perverted and otherwise all around royal monarch, the longing for meat of any sort, biological clocks, mishaps and your basic set of comedic romance cliches as you journey in and around Equestria [well not really as you dont really travel anywhere because I did not click on the adventure tag] and perhaps you might find the love of your life to be the pony next to you...or ponies next to you.

[Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the OC. Everything here is by Lauren Faust and HASBRO]

Rainbow Dash usually had her head in the clouds, but she always thought she knew up from down. When an incredible revelation sends her life into a tailspin, she finds herself at the mercy of emotions she never thought she had, faced with hard questions and impossible choices.

Life is full of changes, but none of them are quite as disturbing as having a horn pop out of your skull…

Original Lauren Faust canon; non-alicorn Twilight, non-alicorn Cadance, no ascension. Diverges from the cartoon after season 3, with nods to later continuity wherever possible. Contains mature themes.

Twilight becomes alicorn of the stars. This is sort of a problem, because Luna kind of already was alicorn of the stars. Oops!

TV Tropes
