This story is a sequel to Caverns & Cutie Marks

With Discord’s game behind them, the former Colts find themselves trapped in yet another world filled with pastel-colored pony people. This time, their mights and magics are traded in for pencils and papers as the take on the most dangerous dungeon crawl of all: high school

However, the game is not as finished as they expect. New friends and old enemies are waiting around every corner. After all, in Canterlot High you could be killed; or worse, expelled.

10 teenagers in play, with forces working in both the shadows and in the classroom towards their own ends. Is the world even in danger? I mean, it’s just high school, right?

Right?

The adventures begin when Discord invites the Mane Six for a "friendly" game of Caverns & Cutie Marks. But nothing is simple when Discord is involved, and the girls are sucked into the game's world; literally!

But that's not chaotic enough for Discord's tastes, and so three Colts (that weren't Colts to begin with) find themselves thrown into a game filled with dangerous enemies, lively villagers, and terrible villains. All in the form of pastel-colored Ponies!

With 9 Ponies in play, a mad god-like being rolling the dice, and forces at work that no-pony could expect, random encounters aren't the only place trouble can come from. Will the Mane Six and the Colt Trio be able to work together to save this strange world? Or are the real villains the ones that come from within the party?

Diplomacy, foreign relations, cultural exchange, all important duties that Twilight needs to learn as a princess. Fortunately, this foray in to the unknown is made much easier when she meets a lovely foreign pony from the French Equestrian Kingdom who's willing to be friends with her.

Now, if only they could actually understand each other.

Series of oneshots set in a RariTwi AU based on the prompt, "Rarity and Twilight are princesses from different countries, smitten with each other despite being unable to communicate".

An alternate universe story, in which Twilight Sparkle was born a pegasus, not a unicorn. Because of this, she isn't Princess Celestia's personal student at the School for Gifted Unicorns, and she can't wield the Element of Magic. Can she still help save the world from Nightmare Moon? Or will she fall under the dark powers of nightmares?

This was somewhat inspired by Rainbooms and Royalty, a story in which Princess Celestia picks Rainbow Dash to be her personal student.

Meet Cyr. He's one of the last of his breed: A Changeling Behemoth, living battering rams that are selected and mutated from the worker caste of the Hive. Aged from centuries of labor and service to his Queen, he grows disgusted and weary of the Changeling's plots and malevolent attempts to feed on love, especially after his capture during the Canterlot wedding. Thus begins a new (and possibly more enjoyable) chapter of his existence.

Idol Hooves holds a special place in Equestria. He's probably the only exiled changeling to serve in the Royal Guard, or at least, that's what he expects, as exiles don't really broadcast that fact. However, it's well known that Princess Celestia loves all of her little ponies, and her guards perhaps more so, and that makes it one of the best ways for a changeling to discreetly feed.

But how does a changeling even get there, let alone get exiled in the first place? For that matter, why would it ever go to Canterlot? Set a number of years before the series proper, before Luna’s redemption, Idol details how he was exiled, the ponies he’s met, and the series of misadventures that led him to joining the Royal Guard, and should continue a good ways into the series, as something of an alternate perspective.

Soon, he’ll have to deal with a boisterous new princess to serve and a royal wedding in the works bringing a third to power. Will his old instincts bring this new life crashing down around him? What precipitates Chrysalis’s ill-fated assault on Canterlot? Is it really so wrong for a changeling to enjoy good craftsmanship to an obsessive degree?
