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.

The sun is setting; let's watch the twilit sky, shall we?

Princesses and peasants, illness and truth, sunlight and twilight, optimism and pessimism, birth and rebirth. These are the feelings of our faithful companion, Doctor Whooves. After having witnessed the coronation of Twilight Sparkle, he fears that Twilight may not be prepared for the future. He has watched Twilight from afar since day one, and begins to realize what impact she may have had on his life.

There's only two hours before she arrives back home. Follow Doctor Whooves on his self-reflection to understand the new era that is arriving. And maybe, put yourself in Whooves' shoes to better understand the perspective of ourselves...

Love is a like a garden, Rarity had always known that. You had to take care of the garden that was love: water it with affection, weed out petty fears, nurture the timid intimacies. But the weeds that suffocate the flowers and feast on the trees can strike with little warning even when the utmost care is taken. The rot of despair can eat away at the green no matter how much love is poured into a relationship.

Rainbow deals with the possibility of a flightless future in the aftermath of a brush with death with help from Rarity. Many waters cannot quench love; perhaps not even crippled wings can dampen it for long.

(Sequel to Where the Sun is Silent. You do not really have to have read that story to enjoy this one. Know only that Rainbow and company were pawns in the sick games of an elder god of chaos and that she was seriously injured.)

On the eve of Twilight's wedding, trouble is brewing. Fluttershy mourns the love she lost and contemplates the bitter dregs of hate. Two friends loved the same stallion and he chose one. As mysterious murders rock the city of Canterlot and an ancient evil returns to battles long abandoned, Twilight and Fluttershy will finally have that peculiar heart to heart that only rivals in love can have.

Unrequited passion is a dangerous force. In normal circumstances, a controllable one. When two mares who loved the same pony are left alone in the dark? Perhaps a lethal one.

400 FAVES! Thank you so much for your love and support!

Everypony tries to cope as the laughter is suddenly torn out of their lives.

'Pretty in Pink' on EquestriaDaily
Dramatic reading by Azekahh

We see Twilight and her friends as a happy group of friends from every part of the spectrum, but we also know that they all have dreams. Rainbow and the Wonderbolts, Applejack and her farm, Rarity and Canterlot -- they all have something that they're aiming for, but what would happen if they became who they've always wanted to be? There wouldn't be a lot of time left for their friends, especially if each of them were cities away from the others.

Saddened by their departures, both transpired and imminent, Twilight makes a difficult decision that even she may not understand, and she lets each of her friend's know about what she plans to do.

It's a quiet and beautiful night. Celestia is ready to go to sleep but cannot take her look away from the stars. Thinking about who she is and what she does as the royal princess of Equestria, she decides to call the two pegasii standing guards and tell them the truth about her:
She is a murderer.

One thousand words for just one picture and one thousand untold stories.
And a very short reflexion about what it means to rule and to serve.

Rarity will not sacrifice anymore. Rainbow will never love again. Twilight renounces the things she has learned. Pinkie takes a vow of silence. Applejack casts off the shackles of trust. Fluttershy comes that ponies may learn Death. Steamships fly over a sad Equestria, and the earth cries out for Harmony.

Sweetie Belle asks questions about time.

It has been ten years since the defeat of the Changling Queen, and Equestria is again at peace. Twilight Sparkle and the Elements of Harmony have reached their prime, and have begun to settle down. Love and life abound in Ponyville, especially for Twilight's friends, but she has nopony to call her own.

There is a reason.

A series of events lead to a horrible revelation, and Twilight is thrust deep into a terrifying web of secrets and lies. Her peace is over.

This time, however, she won't be fighting monsters or madponies. What she faces will be much, much worse.

Act One of Two.

Act Two is here.

Currently undergoing editing by the wonderful Mstar!

In an Equestria still in the medieval age, a mysterious amnesiac wanders the land with his blue travelling cart. This "Doctor" and his companion finds more than they bargain for in the small border town of Horizon: monsters, murder, and a crime of unimaginable magnitude...

This story is part of the Royal Road collaboration, an alternate history of our favorite ponies during Equestria's Crusades. Rated "Dark" at other's request, since the average episode of Doctor Who is dark compared to the average MLP:FIM episode.
