This story is a sequel to Where Loyalties Lie: Honor Guard

After risking her own life in a daring adventure across the world to save Princess Luna, Rainbow Dash wants nothing more than for her life to return to normal. In her mind, what happened is in the past, and she wants nothing more to do with it. But a past abandoned is doomed to be repeated, and with an ancient threat rising beneath the snows, Rainbow may be the only mare who can truly save Equestria.

A Price of Loyalty story.
No longer canon to the 'PoL' universe; see author's note on chapter 1.

Snips was just your average Canterlot teenager who liked pizza and hoofboard tricks but then he made the mistake of meeting Time Turner and stepping into his "time elevator".

Now he has to visit Ponyville, the town of his childhood, literally during his childhood. Can he keep the secrets of the future from the many "to be famous" ponies living there? Probably not, and things don't get any easier when the time machine has a very affectionate AI.

Sure he was never in time for his classes
and he was never in time for work.
But then one day...
he wasn't in his time at all!

Hold on to your space time continuums!

Dusk Shine has dealt with many trails throughout his life. From clashing with Nightterror Nebula to outwitting the mischievous Eris to thwarting King Nymphamos’s invasion, he'd seen it all.

All in all, Dusk Shine would admit that life was hardly easy. And now, Dusk finds that his mentor's self loathing is the least of his problems as he finds himself thrust into a world where he and his friend... are mares?

Finalist and judge's top choice in Equestria Daily's 2012 Nightmare Night contest.

Fluttershy has been plagued by nightmares, and Twilight wants to help her get rid of them. But when the bookish mare begins to pry into the depths of Fluttershy's unraveling psyche, she finds more questions than answers. What do her dreams mean? Why won't they stop haunting her? And why does the creature she keeps seeing inside them seem like more than just a simple night terror?

Rainbow Dash is having an excellent day - that is until a desperate thirst drags her from the sky and into a mess that may take more than simple magic to cure. Can real love bloom amidst the kerfuffle, or will shenanigans reign supreme in this tale of epic cliches and awkward matches?

Waking up in an alternate universe in which you are a supervillain can be hard.

Finding out your friends are rebels trying to kill or overthrow you isn't very easy to deal with either.

But trying to solve the situation? That's a real horn cracker.

Every town has a dark side, even Ponyville. Crime, corruption, violence... I've seen it all.

My name is Thunderlane and I'm a private eye.

Last night Mosely Orange, the heir to the Sun Blessed Orange Groves died, drowning in a pond on Sweet Apple Acres. I've been hired to investigate the 'accidental death' and see what I can find. Most ponies think I'm crazy, but with every new piece of evidence I turn up I find that this case isn't as simple as the police would have you believe.

Mosely was involved in something... something big... something dating back nearly 10 years ago... when two more bodies were found amongst the apple trees...

A chance meeting with a cute young dragoness puts Spike on top of the world. However, it quickly becomes clear he may be forced to chose between his pony friends or the girl who captured his heart.
