Set in the same world as The Archer and The Smith

Oh, umm..hi, my name is Danielle. Today I became a pony, a derp-eyed blonde-maned mare named Derpy. Best way to start a morning right? Part of the PonyEarthVerse.

Rarity can't get anything done when an old question comes back from her days as a blank flank filly, so she searches for her answer.

History remembers King Sombra (when it remembers him at all) as a slavering beast so consumed by his lust for power that he plunged an entire empire into ruin. But who was Sombra? Why did he do what he did? What did he even do?
Nopony is born evil and Sombra was no exception. He was once the star pupil of Princess Luna, back in the golden age before her banishment. He had friends. He had love. He had tragedy and loss and betrayal. He had all of this and more long before he had...
A Heart as Black as Night.

Spike loses a bet to Snips and Snails. The consequence? Ask Scootaloo out on a date. But what starts off as a frivolous punishment for the baby dragon ends up becoming much more rewarding than he ever expected.

Whether by the sword or the slow decay of time, Shining Armor will die.

Though the distance between Pinkie Pie and her five closest friends has grown in the half-century since they claimed their Elements, she does what she can to prevent the others from drifting away. It’s small things, mostly: tea with Rarity, a drink with Rainbow Dash, a few words with each of the others. The friendship still makes each day together magic, and she works as hard as ever to bring cheer to all of her friends. When the smiles come less frequently, that just makes each one that much more precious.

Humans.

Truth or myth? Ancient lost civilization or just an old pony's tale?

As it turns out, Fluttershy really has been longing for a child to take care of, and not just any child, but Rainbow Dash! What follows is a journey of infantilism and regression.

A terrible new day rises when a tragedy, foreseen only by Celestia but preventable by none, occurs right in the middle of Canterlot, turning Twilight Sparkle's world upside-down.
