We all wear a mask called composure, beneath which hides a heart that twists with guilt and hidden feelings. Regal as she is, Princess Celestia is no exception. What might be revealed should circumstances cause this mask to slip - or break?

Set several years after the potential conclusion to the series.

Twilight and her fellow Elements of Harmony, along with Spike, must travel outside of Equestria to find a cure for an ailing Princess Celestia. This journey, however, forces them to travel with an old acquaintance they had all but forgotten...

An attempt at writing adventure, and moving myself out of my comfort zone and into dialog-heavy writing. Plus, Discord! Whoo!

edit: This story now has two kinda-sequels; the shipfic Diplomacy and the slice-of-life fic A Normal Day!

After Pinkie's party, two ponies come to the library asking for advice. One is Big Macintosh, who starts feeling something towards Fluttershy. The second one is Fluttershy, who just discovered she's pregnant. Will Twilight fulfill her friend's request? What will be the consequences of her decision? What happens to a pony, when she commits a crime and cannot bear the burden of guilt?

Book 1

Twilight Sparkle sees a red comet that brings ill tidings to Equestria. Soon strange things start happening in Ponyville while winds of danger blow from the Everfree Forest. Something beyond Equestria has come and it doesn't come with good intentions. And top of it all, Applebloom has gone missing. . .

Part One of "The Reasoning" Trilogy.

How was the draconequus known as "Discord" created? Thanks to Spike's childish persistence, Twilight gets the chance to find answers, but what she finds is like nothing what she, or anypony else expected.

Join Twilight and Spike as they find the truth to the creation of Discord, to a time before even Luna and Celestia were brought to this world, and how a simple prankster pony, a power hungry king, a curious scientist, and many others, link towards the great Draconequus.

To commemorate the imprisoning of Discord one year ago, the first annual Celebration of Harmony is starting off with a grand party in Canterlot, something Twilight Sparkle has been looking forward to after many sleepless nights plagued by nightmares. After a chance glance at the party, Twilight and Princess Luna rekindle their friendship sparked on Nightmare Night. Meanwhile, Princess Celestia grows worried over the state of her kingdom, her sister disappearing at odd times, and the seal placed on Discord. Are the princess's worries well founded or is her sister's oddly secretive behavior taking a toll on her nerves? Twilight gets caught between the sun and moon as both royal ponies reveal that there is much that history has forgotten about the nature of the alicorns and even the draconequus.

AU for not taking into account Season 3 canon.

When Twilight plays with magic beyond her control, she finds herself and Rainbow stuck in a strange, horrible world. When they find out what happened, will they be able to get home? Will they even want to?

War has come to Equestria. Guard ponies are drafted, and find themselves deployed all over the realm. Twilight and her friends find themselves dealing with the Guard ponies of the Ironhoof Century, the threat of invasion, and a sinister plot over a thousand years in the making!

This tale is meant to be a novelization, dealing with the hardships of (a not so violent) war, the struggles of ponies meeting strangers who may not be so friendly, and the depth of feelings. This tale does contain mild violence, suggestive themes, some shipping, and a number of OCs. That said, the spirit of My Little Pony is of paramount importance in the tale, and great lengths have been crossed to ensure a true-to-the-characters feel.

Reviews and suggestions are welcome!

The magic of friendship depends on the primary five Elements combining to create the spark of magic that is the sixth. When Twilight feels alone, isolated and depressed, not to mention pressurised by having the fate of Equestria permanently in her hooves, she loses control of her emotions, with disastrous results.

Consumed by shadow, can her friends get back the Twilight they know and love, or is Equestria doomed forever?

Author's note:
This is my second fan-fic. Rather than the short and sweet nature of my one-shot 'Imagine', I decided to try a multi-chapter story. My fics aren't the best things in the world by any stretch of the imagination, but I had so much fun writing this and I loved the experience. If just one person enjoyed it, then that's a bonus. As for my next project... well, we'll see how the mood takes me. Hopefully I'll write a new fic soon, as I have a looong summer ahead, and I really would love to write another. Also, while I remember, a big thanks to my lovely sister and pre-reader.

Thanks for reading.

A short trip to Canterlot with Rainbow Dash and Applejack is the perfect opportunity for Twilight to test out her new long-distance Teleportation spell. But a nasty cold dashes the hopes of a quick trip, and makes the spell disappear in smoke: instead of arriving in Canterlot, the three find themselves in the nearby Everfree Forest, and discover that their location is not the only thing that went wrong.

While Rainbow has exchanged her wings and tail for a straw blond tail, Applejack has acquired a rainbow tail as well as a pair of strong, blue wings.

While Twilight attempts to find a spell to return the body parts to their rightful owners, the others must attempt to deal with this situation... and with their changing feelings.
