Once, Rarity and Princess Twilight Sparkle fell in love, and then fell apart. And when they went their separate ways, they each took one of their twin daughters with them.

Years later, when the twins discover one another at summer camp, they plot to swap places, meet their other parent at last, and maybe, just maybe, reunite their family.

No matter how much scheming, deceiving, summoning eldritch horrors, wanton abuse of a telegraph, and thwarting unwanted royal suitors it takes along the way.

Based on Monochromatic's Parent Trap AU, a reimagining of the 1998 film.

Sometimes, friendship can be a trial of endurance.

For Twilight, it's the trial of her friends heaping celebration and attention upon her to make up for several years of missed birthdays.
For Moondancer, it's the trial of rebuilding her friendship with Sunset and ignoring her rising jealousy over Sunset's relationship with Twilight.
For Sunset, it's the trial of conquering her inner demon before it pushes her to do something she can't take back.

Sometimes, trials end in failure.

His hooves will lead him to a distant sultanate of Saddle Arabia, homeland of mysterious and exotic desert ponies. There he will face weakness of his body and mind, standing against wicked magics from bygone era.

Saddle Arabia, though newly united after a brutal civil war, stands on the edge of destruction. Its fragile peace, forged in the fires of conflict, is threatened by an ancient calamity - one awakened by the clash of swords and the scent of blood. Desperate to preserve their hard-won unity, the Sultan does the unthinkable: calls upon Equestria.

Will the Kingdom of Ponies answer the plea? And can Prince Blueblood rise to the challenge, or will the sands of Saddle Arabia bury him beneath its secrets?

This story, by its very nature, will contain a lot of OCs.

1000 views! Thanks to everyone who bothered to read my story!
100k words mark. That is a huge achievement for me. I learned a lot about myself, about writing along the way. I know that first chapters are not as... good (very wordy with a lot of things I could trim now) compared to later ones. Still - the adventure continues.
100th like! ❤

This story is a sequel to Love Sickness

Love and relationships are never easy, so much commitment, stress, and care. Especially when you're stuck on a trip to the far reaches of the world and beyond. Battling monsters, nightmares and pursued by pirates along with goddesses only know what else. Someponies would say it's all worth it, they're usually right. Yet when somepony's love also accidentally causes a change in species, especially so far as turning you into a dragon. It's probably time to reconsider.

This story is a direct sequel to Love Sickness, therefore it is recommended that you read that story first to understand the context here. Nevertheless, the themes in this story are hopefully going to be far more adventure focused than the last one.

Elliot Foster didn't ask for much from life. Go to work, get his paycheck, make it home to his girlfriend each night. Ride up to the slopes and snowboard in winter, maybe one day pay off his student loans.

Unfortunately for Elliot, his life smacked him headfirst into patient zero of a supernatural pandemic. Flu symptoms gave way to something far more disturbing, leaving Elliot's life transformed in a way he never could've imagined.

Elliot Foster will have to decide: does he bow and get crushed by pressures beyond his control, or protect his fellow victims? Without him, none of Earth's new ponies will ever escape the quarantine.

The events of this story are driven by user votes. Each chapter's author's notes contain a link to a poll, which readers are encouraged to vote in once. I ask for everyone's honesty here. Though for those with a strong opinion on what to do, I encourage you to use the comments to make your case!

Obviously I need to cut voting at some point to begin writing. When this happens, I will capture the total votes, and include those numbers in the beginning of the next chapter. Those who remember the last time I did this (Voyage of the Equinox), will recall that the site I used for my polls no longer even exists. Including the results in each chapter will also serve as a way of recording the outcome for future readers.

The unusual nature of this story's publication schedule, editing to my usual standard is not possible. As such, chapters may contain more errors than I typically permit.

After Discord’s defeat, Princess Luna glimpses a devastating future for Equestria. Her solution? The Eternity Project—an impossible mission that will either save their civilization or doom those who attempt it.

Burnt Brick is a convicted criminal with a gift for construction. In order to build a crystal array in the Frozen North, he’s given a team of unique ponies: a young crystal expert with unwavering faith, a battle-scarred captain carrying the princess’s secrets, a sophisticated merchant with a yearning for adventure. Together, they must build something that will change Equestria forever.

But as they battle the elements and their own demons, they begin to uncover darker aspects of Luna’s ambitious plan. How far will they go to save Equestria? And what price are they willing to pay for success?

This story reveals the true history of the Crystal Empire’s creation, following (mostly) smart ponies doing (mostly) smart things to achieve the impossible in a deadly environment.

Special thanks to mellon, who helped me with editing and proofreading, can't thank them enough. The story wouldn't be the same without their hard work and endless patience.

While checking the ward spells in her palace's library, Cadance discovers a strange letter sent to King Sombra by someone she didn't know existed, from a nation that never existed. The search for answers sends her and Twilight, along with their friends, on a journey to uncover certain secrets of the past, only to realize that secrets abound in the present, and at the center of it all, there is one particular truth that very important ponies would very much like to keep a secret.

Daring Do, Professor of Archaeology at the Golden Oaks University in Ponyville, is known as a pony of adventure, the protege and partner of the treasure-hunting Dorado Caballeron, a mare who has traveled the world and discovered great treasures since she was a filly under the wing of her Uncle Adventure. What most don't know is her drive to discover the unknown, born the day that she witnessed her beloved uncle killed by shadowy monsters after taking an idol of a strange dog-like monster.

After one of her colleagues vanishes while searching for the legendary Sunken Church, Daring Do crosses paths with private detective Phillip Finder and sets out to search for her friend and the hidden temple. From that day, the two form a partnership that spans Equestria, facing eldritch threats, monsters from beyond their world, insane cultists, and deadly assassins from the sinister Order of the Golden Sphinx. Their partnership grows to encompass Twilight Sparkle and Luster Dawn, two of the brightest students at Golden Oaks University; Zecora, the mysterious shaman from the Everfree Forest; and the Anomalous Investigations Unit, a small, ill-respected branch of the Royal Bureau of Investigation that handles cases beyond the pale of reason.

Obsession drives Daring Do forward in a quest to uncover lost secrets and magical treasures and to protect Equestria from impossible threats...but what might it cost her and those around her? And all the while, an ancient evil stirs beneath Equestria, hailed by the haunting chant:

Dead Ahuizotl waits dreaming...

A reboot of sorts of my former series Ponyville Noire, Daring Do: Shadows Over Equestria is an adventure-mystery story with heavy influence from the Cthulhu Mythos and related spinoffs, particularly the Arkham Horror franchise. It features many of the same characters but under different designs and inspirations.

A collection of small, self-contained, often single-chapter mini-stories set in the Rites of Ascension universe. See little glimpses into the lives and times of the characters in this compendium of random scenes. Some I wrote for fun, others may be scenes deleted from the main story for editing purposes.

With the exception of chapter three, you do need to have read Rites of Ascension to understand what's going on here. If you skip that part, you'll be severely lost.

Updates will be sporadic. Technically, these are non-canon, as they're not as heavily considered or edited as the canon stories. Most, if not all, of these are going to be Slice of Life, but exceptions may appear from time to time. Cover art by Violet Squiggles, my beloved wife.
