After being driven out of Ponyville following the incident with the Ursa, The Great and Powerful Trixie flees into the Everfree forest, where she meets a mysterious masked stallion named Herald. Herald offers Trixie a chance to learn ancient magic that will truly make her the most powerful unicorn in Equestria, by offering her a book that not even Twilight Sparkle has ever read. But there is a reason Twilight's never read this book, and there is more to Herald than there appears...

(A Cthulhu Mythos crossover. Cover art by kirokokori. TVTropes page here, although I've no idea who started it, and was gobsmacked when somebody else told me http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/FanFic/TheStarsWillAidTheirEscape )

The Great and now Apologetic Trixie wants to give back to Ponyville for her past actions. The holiday of Hearth's Warming Eve is fast approaching and she figures that the best way to get Ponyville to finally forgive her is to spread the joy that this holiday brings. With a red and white outfit, and a matching hat, Trixie takes up the role of Noel Hooves, the patron of Hearth's Warming folklore. She goes about her mission in a 'creative' way, and on her quest, she learns what the true meaning of Hearth's Warming really is.

Flim, of the world-famous Flimflam brothers, has just been paroled from the dungeon. Reunited with his brother, Flam, and their old friend, Trixie, they have learned that their childhood home is in imminent danger. Compelled by one or more of the Royal Pony Sisters to raise an honest fifty thousand bits in just a few days, and without the aid of the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000, can they indeed redeem themselves?

High-speed carriage chases, musical numbers (both random and planned), rap battles, widespread property damage, consumption of intoxicating and/or hallucinogenic substances, arson, and generalized disturbances of the peace may all turn out to be necessary.

Not MERELY a Blues Brothers fusion. In my opinion. However, the pre-reading board of Equestria Daily disagrees in the strongest possible terms. They do, however, admit that it is "not poorly written."

The Summer Sun Celebration has rolled around again and Princess, avatar of ruler of Equestria, is going to Ponyville.

Twilight Sparkle, gifted magitechnist and personal student to Princess, is going out of her mind with worry as she tries to both plan the event and do her best to investigate the threats from the group of ponies known as Dream Valley.

Trixie is just living each day to the next as a streeside performer in the cramped districts of Canterlot and trying to get her life on track.

Whether they realise it or not, they, and the rest of Equestria, are quickly caught up in a spiral of events that will take them all across Equestria's ravaged countryside.

A simple accident with magic results in a pony claiming to be an accountant appearing on Twilight Sparkle's door-step, and that is just the beginning of an epic tale of revenge, laughter, chaos, family, petty squabbles and on a few occasions, true love, spread across time, space, and entire universes.
Well, sort of.

First time writing. Constructive criticism welcome.

After the once Great and Powerful showmare Trixie Lulamoon fails to take her own life, she falls into a comatose state, and shows no signs of waking up any time soon.

Twilight Sparkle vows not to leave Trixie's side until she wakes up. If she wakes up at all.

Warning: This is a sadfic. It does not have a happy ending. You have been warned.

The Great and Powerful Trixie has always had one goal: To be recognised as the great and powerful magician that she is. Especially by one particular Unicorn.

But one day, Trixie loses all of her memories, and is found injured by Fluttershy. Twilight decides to help Trixie on her road to recovery, and thus Trixie's new life in Ponyville begins.

There is a lot to teach Trixie, but with the friendship of Twilight and the rest of Ponyville, the road to recovery should be a happy one...At least, that's the hope.

Sometimes all a pony wants is a second chance, another chance to redeem themselves or make up for something that they did wrong. To make it right. But the world isn't always willing to give them another chance and instead will hold them to what they did in the past instead of what they do in the present. Sometimes the world won't let go of what you used to be instead of who you are. Sometimes, it see's you as a monster.

Sequel to a Dark Knight for Equestria and sister story to It runs in the Family.

The now-famous first story of the Lunaverse!

This is the story of Trixie, the Element of Magic and the personal student of Princess Luna. It has been some months since this unicorn moved to Ponyville to learn about the magic of friendship, and, more specifically, how to not let her abrasive personality drive away the friends she does make. So far, she has succeeded, becoming a welcome part of Ponyville life, and as such has decided to put on a magic show for Ponyville during the Eventime festival, the celebration of the spring equinox.

However, a certain purple-coated unicorn seems determined to ruin her fun, and everypony elses'. This unicorn has traveled far to learn as much about magic as she can, and was excited to learn at the hooves of the Element of Magic herself. What she finds in Ponyville, however, leaves this purple-coated unicorn...disappointed. She resolves to take drastic steps to show Trixie what real magic is all about!

...this could end poorly.
