Twilight receives an urgent message from the Princess to meet her, but it comes with something she didn't expect... a bouquet of flowers. With nothing but the words "It's very important!", Twilight sets off for Canterlot.

This is the story of Princess Celestia: her origin, the battles she fought, her betrayals, her adventures, the friends she made along the way, her one great love, and her ultimate destiny.

Warning: updates irregularly lately.

Rarity's exploits in "Sweet and Elite" set in motion a chain of events that will find the unicorn dressmaker taking part in the greatest airship race in the world, the Alicorn's Cup. Excitement will give way to terror, as Rarity soon finds herself the victim of a plot against Equestria, and shipwrecked far from home with her least favorite stallion, the boorish Prince Blueblood. Rarity will learn of treachery in Canterlot and abroad, and will have search for something of substance beneath the prince's obnoxious veneer as she struggles to not only save herself, but her entire nation.

It's been two months since Twilight and Big Macintosh started dating, and what a wonderful two months it's been. As their relationship blooms, Twilight finds out through Applejack that not all of the Apple family may be keen on a relationship that includes one of their own kin, and a unicorn. Worried about their future together, Twilight asks Big Macintosh for the biggest favor she can think of...to visit his entire family, and see if they can't break old traditions.

This is the sequel to Sparkling Cider, my first fan-fiction. It isn't necessary to have read Sparkling Cider to understand Old Traditions, but it certainly wouldn't hurt!

Thanks to all my followers who have been waiting for the sequel, you guys rock!

Luna and Sombra grow close as they write one another over the years. Their friendship eventually poisons both of them. When such powerful creatures have relationship problems, everypony suffers.

A short, two-part companion story to The Assumption of Applejack, though it may be read as a stand-alone. It is an attempt at classical tragedy, so beware that the tone of the two fics is as different as night and day.

Trixie gets a surprise visit when a pony wearing a wedding veil teleports into her house. The pony has pre-wedding jitters and is just looking for some time to clear her head.

She also looks suspiciously like an adult version of Dinky Doo. But surely that's just a coincidence, right?

A Lunaverse story for the May 2013 Writing Event. Non-canon.

There should be an "Upbeat" tag.

When Twilight discovers an invisibility spell, she decides to use it for pranking her friends. However, she soon finds out some interesting news that one of her good friends, Rainbow Dash, might be interested in her as more than friends. But can Twilight accept this news, or will she rebuke the rainbow maned mare? What chain of events will this set off?

An extensive re-edit will be happening soon. Expect a re-working of the ending, if it stays the same.

For a thousand years, there was just Celestia. Then Cadance appeared, Luna returned -- and now Twilight has ascended. There are ponies who are very curious about just what happened, why -- and how. Especially the how. Twilight herself is on that list, a freshly-minted princess with far more questions than answers, about to face a brand new one: what truly makes an alicorn?

And what happens if it goes wrong?

Two exceedingly strange ponies arrive in Ponyville, each seeking answers and acceptance. Although their histories are separate, their futures are twisted together in ways they cannot understand.

Tor Ironclad was the adopted son of Princess Celestia, and lived a life in Canterlot protecting the weaker masses and serving his kingdom. Accused and found guilty of horrendous crimes he did not commit, he has been "Decorated" and exiled. Battling madness and regret, as well as a heart broken by one nearest to him, he works in Ponyville as a bounty hunter of sorts, controlling crime while attempting to win over the hearts of the citizens of Ponyville. However, a mysterious stranger has stumbled into town that may shatter Tor's delicate new life.

That stranger is one who calls himself Seething Mass. Fractious and unstable, Seething Mass is an outsider in every way possible. After awaking buried in a casket, Seething Mass stumbled into Ponyville pursuing a fevered desire for knowledge of his origins and life. His mind is wild and chaotic, and he suffers from a severe amnesia that has left him with half-remembered thoughts of a life before Ponyville, when he was apparently somepony else.

These two characters will end up shaping the face of Equestria forever, but will they find redemption and self-realization? Read our continuing story about a tiny venture into
Darkside Equestria.

*Author's Note*
Although our story has Dark in the title, this is not a work of Grimdark fiction. It is a mature work, but it is largely light-hearted. The story deals with how our two unlikely protagonists deal with the life around them, and in turn how they affect the world they find themselves in. Please try a chapter and see what you think! Thanks!
