A story in which a young Princess and her lover, a young, brave Pegasus named Rainbow Dash, face prejudice and hatred. It gets worse, though. Ponies are arguing and fighting, and the very nation of Equestria faces a rift in its society.

Lines are drawn- and crossed- and emotions run high as Equestria teeters on the brink of civil war for the first time since the Three Tribes Period. To make problems even worse, Celestia and Luna pick sides, and things get even more complicated.

A story based off of the cold, harsh realities of real life. (Occurs several years after Season Three, but ignores Equestria Girls and Season Four). Twidash fan fiction (obviously).

I think that I shall never see
A home as lovely as my tree.
In its trunk I made my nest
With all things that I love best.
Books to read all night and day,
Rooms to learn and space to play;
But no more growing, no more fun;
No more soaking up the sun;
Nevermore to drink sweet rain;
Or to greet the Spring again.
There is no power or decree;
No magic spell to save my tree.

Captain Rainbow Dash of the Wonderbolts.
Has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?
Certainly her dream job.
Well, dreams and reality are two very different things.

Especially when our newly minted captain has to deal with an empty roster, budget cuts, the first non-pegasi cadets, and the pressure of finding out your best friend is now your boss, let alone a princess.

If that weren’t enough to make her quit, her three wing commanders might. Cloud Kicker is a sexual harassment lawsuit waiting to happen; Surprise makes no sense; and Lightning Dust is, well, Lightning Dust.

Meanwhile, Scootaloo arrives at the academy, ready and raring to prove she’s got what it takes to be an elite flyer. Pressure mounts as Scootaloo aims to make her hero proud.

Applejack's got a secret she'd kept hidden for many years. Nopony would ever have guessed what she and Twilight were up to in the library late at night, once Spike had gone to sleep. That is, until a jealous Rainbow Dash decided it was her business to find out just what in the hay was going on.

"Was Sombra born wicked? Was he always the tyrant that history foretold? Was he every bit as evil as his actions had lead him to believe? What is the truth? One mare seeks to discover this truth as she searches the snowy fields of the Crystal Empire to find the rumored king who survived his seemingly final fate.

But when she finds Sombra and hears his story, his story seems all, but unbelievable."

I would like to thank Tambourine Blossom and Skeeter The Lurker for looking at the story idea when I first came up with the idea and for Tambourine also giving me the name for the OC in this story. And would like to also thank spideremblembrony for the great lengthening of the whole story. Please give them all great love. You of course may read the story. <:3

Twilight wakes up, strapped to a hospital bed with a nasty enchantment that begs the question, why do they want to keep her here so badly? Stuck in a dream for two days, and with a little filling in from her friends, she learns that not only she has amnesia, she perhaps committed some very terrible crimes to pony kind. The mystery only gets deeper from there as conspiracy theories, tragic lifes and the severity of Twilight's madness gets uncovered.
Needless to say, she breaks free.
(This story takes place right after/in between Lesson Zero.)

The book was empty. Purely empty. Each page was as blank as the last. There were no words; there was no title. There was nothing but page after page of blank, white paper.

So Twilight reads it.

For hundreds of years, the ancient quarrels between dragon and pony had been put to rest under Celestia's reign. However, after a simple land dispute on Equestria's border turns violent, dozens of ponies are left dead at the hands of dragons. As outrage over the event sweeps the nation, a strong divide between the two races is beginning to reemerge. To make matters worse, many ponies have begun to question the princesses' response; calling them too soft. Some have even decided to take matters into their own hands.

As the situation escalates, Spike has found himself growing evermore isolated. Every time he steps outside, he can't help but find at least one pony looking at him as if he were covered in the blood of the victims. Though, through these trying times, Spike has only been able to hold onto one constant: Twilight. But no matter how tightly they hold onto each other, will it be enough to see them through the days ahead?

Princess Twilight has brought Tirek to his knees with the aid of the alicorn magic given to her. Only this time, the wisdom of thousands of years allows her to see the only way to keep Equestria safe. With her nearly unlimited power, Twilight aims to ensure that evil never rises to threaten her kingdom again. The only way to do that is to stamp out the enemies of her kind one by one.

Contains Season Finale Spoilers.

She has been spotted again, the lavender death is growing bolder sir.
