Nightmare Moon has spent years of accumulating enough magic for herself to materialize after her defeat by the Element Bearers. She is separate from Luna. Her own being. She does not want eternal night anymore, having realized it would doom Equestria.
She can only think of the Sun. Of how dear is the Sun for her actually. She wouldn't take it from the skies... Everything needs her.
Even dark creatures as herself.

EDIT: Wow. Featured. I didn't expect that. You guys are wonderful. There will DEFINITELY be a sequel to this now.

Applejack stumbles upon Rarity late one night inside Twilight Sparkle's castle.

Neiiiiiigh.

On the way back to Ponyville, the girls intercept Maud to get Pinkie's things. With some help from her, they come up with a way for Pinkie Pie to enjoy the yovidiphone without disturbing others. "Tag" to the episode "Yakity Sax".

While studying the Cutie Map, Twilight is accidentally whisked away to another alternate universe!

After spending much time investigating this new world, she cannot figure out just where the timelines diverged or what exactly is different compared to her own universe, but she does seem to be bumping into things more than usual.

But maybe not all alternate universes are so drastically different.

Maybe some are only slightly to the left.

Pinkie Pie has just finished her big musical performance in Yakyakistan, and seems much happier. The question is though, what happens next with her new hobby? One of her friends may have a solution... A direct follow-up to the episode Yakity Sax.

What I think could occur next, basically. That's it.

A firsthand tale of Princess Luna's quest to wake a slumbering princess and save the pony-made concept known as time. More importantly, can Luna save the day in time to catch some Z's herself?

Limestone Pie is more than a little annoyed to discover a budding archaeologist wants to try her luck at their rock farm, but nevertheless takes it upon herself to look after the kid. And to make sure she stays the hell away from Holder's Boulder.

Entry for Writeoff FiM Short Story Round, Event 87. Prompt: The Other Side.

A disgruntled Trixie and a excited Starlight visit Maud's home for some lunch.

Part of the SFNW Class of July writing prompt.

Ancient Egypt, the land of the scorching Sun and myths and legends going back centuries. And now the home of one Sunset Shimmer, a refugee of Equestria and now the personal consort of one Queen Somnambula.

Of course, if one certain Snake of Shadows and Chaos has anything to say about that, Sunset's happiness won't last. Now, it's up to Somnambula to take on the hardest challenge she's ever faced. Her country, or her love?

(Featured? Wow... Wasn't expecting that.)

The other five members of the Young Six all know about Silverstream's old life as a seapony, and they've all seen her in her seapony form several times already. However, during a nice, relaxing field trip to the seaside, Silverstream's elegant seapony form begins to entice certain feelings within Gallus and Sandbar.
Will Ocellus, Smolder, and Yona be able to bring things back to normal? Will they even be able to keep these two boys' emotions in check, and their hooves/talons off of Silverstream's ravishing tail.
