When a familiar presence enters the free Crystal Empire, the scattered remains of King Sombra begin to take shape once more...

With Hearts n Hooves Day approaching in the Crystal Empire, King Sombra is faced with the unpleasant reality that he has been neglecting the affections of his chief consort, Nyx. It makes him realize some things about himself he isn't particularly happy to face.

Please leave a thumbs up or down and let me know in the comments what you like and/or didn't like about The King's Gift. If there is another angle to which you want to see something like this go in the future, let me know that too. I am open to experimenting with new ways to write our King of Shadows as long as they aren't grossly out of character.

UPDATE: 2/21/16 - A sequel is in the works with my collaborator, Tale Weaver. Look for "The King's Problem" coming soon!

UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: 5/17/16 - The King's Problem is on the back burner for now but I haven't forgotten about it. PM me if you want me to let you know when it's out, or better yet, follow me here at Hail King Sombra and you will automatically get the blog update with the link AND it will show up in your feed.

YET ANOTHER BLOODY UPDATE: I left a scene out in the final version because it slowed things down and didn't really fit the story going on between Nyx and King Sombra. It is more of a here-is-the-King-being-powerful-and-intimidating-his-enemies so if you like that awesome kind of thing, check it out here in my blog at Deleted Scene from The King's Gift.

Dr. Whooves is worried. A time disturbance is radiating out from the Frozen North, it's origin a thousand years before his and Derpy's time. He knows from these facts alone it must have something to do with the tomb of the Crystal Empire and more notably, King Sombra. But how does one reach a place time-locked under a hundred million tons of ice? And why does Princess Celestia and Princess Luna insist Sombra's sentence is for eternity? The answers lie with a Marazon TimeWitch who claims she not only knew King Sombra, but was his consort. Can Whooves keep her from killing the Two Sisters long enough to convince her his way of fixing time is better than the alicorn blood she feels she must spill?

It wasn't long after Sombra's defeat that he was found in the outskirts of the frozen north, regenerated from his dismembered horn, but too weak to do anything more than stay in hiding and hope to make a full recovery. Princess Celestia was swiftly alerted of his re-appearance, and the dethroned king was dragged away from the north to be kept prisoner in the Canterlot Castle.

After weeks of planning, the princess called Fluttershy to Canterlot and bestowed upon her the task of reforming yet another foe. If there was anypony who could have some influence on such a vile overlord, it was her.

Fluttershy, however, wasn't nearly as certain of herself. Discord was so much different; he was so much easier. Back then, she had the elements of harmony at her disposal. but now, living in the Canterlot Castle with not a fellow element for miles, King Sombra was an entirely different story.

This fic is a redo of the first fanfic I've ever posted on Fimfiction.

Midnight Blaze has awoken in a plain of wheat, not knowing what has happened with his most recent time travel spell. Ponyville seems to be the same, except for one little detail. Everyone in his life seems to have forgotten him, and instead know a stallion named Techorse as their friend.

This is a crossover story and collaboration between Wolven5, Midnight Blaze's owner, and myself. That being said, if you haven't read either of our series, it may be hard to understand this one.

Every side - both good and evil - have their champions and their supporters. Do not presume NO ONE in the Crystal Empire was on King Sombra’s side when he returned to reclaim the Crystal Heart and his throne.

The Times Neverwhen series explores “what ifs” - those alternate realities that exist side-by-side with the world of Equestria we are all familiar with. It may share similarities with the series “Dark Crystal Fires - The Chronicles of King Sombra”, but it does not share the same reality with it or any others currently in my worlds.

Loosely based on the story arc: Fiendship is Magic, but with a little twist!

After getting blasted by a wave of happiness, Sombra wakes up months later with a completely different personality and is forced to live with the memories of what he did and what he was. However, with a little patience, and a lot of help, maybe he can change that, and become something a bit better.

Fun Fact: This is the first story (and currently one of only three) on this website tagged with Redheart and Sombra.

Six months after the events of the Crystal Empire, Princess Celestia finds that she must go to a place she does not want to be to perform a duty she does not wish to undertake. But as the steward of the world, it is both her duty and obligation to attempt to redeem one who has fallen. Doing so is always a gamble, but will her gable pay off, or will the butcher of the north show her his true colors once and for all?

[Rated Teen and tagged just to be on the safe side. Sex and Gore, however, are implied rather than full explicit descriptions. Still, I advise caution.]

I deserve no forgiveness. If I could take it back, well... I would never have met her. Somepony who could forgive me. I think. Look, it confuses me so stop asking!

I hate him and what he did to the Crystal Ponies is something I will never forgive. So why is it that I care when ponies scorn him? When they hurt him, why does it make me cry? When I see him, why does my heart skip?

Is it just me or has Twilight gone crazy? Dude's a jerk.

Can we please change the subject?

Author's Note: Other is flagged due to the character flag limit. Expect Cadance, Shining Armor, Luna, and Discord at least!

To the average observer, Sunset Shimmer made a full one-eighty when she was hit by the Rainbow Blast back when she turned into a She-Demon. However, she didn't just suddenly turn good or realize her mistakes. Truth be told, she died back then. She was welcomed into the cold embrace of death.
In that darkness, she found him. The one they call Sombra, there to welcome her to her doom. Surely a bright mind like her's knew the Price of Evil.
