When a dark enemy begins hunting the young wizard Twilight Sparkle, the walls of the fortress library of Candlekeep cannot protect her. Not even her mentor, the archmage Star Swirl the Bearded, can keep her safe. With a price on her head and the shadow of death on her heels, her only hope for salvation is the Magic of Friendship. Perhaps, with powerful allies at her side, she can find answers and uncover the truth about her destiny.

(This story is inspired by the Baldur's Gate CRPG series by Bioware, but you do not have to be familiar with BG to understand its events)

DiscordedWhovian for the awesome coverart, you rock!

A young filly writes to the newly-crowned Princess Twilight, asking for advice.

She's made one small mistake, though, in assuming Twilight feels qualified to give it...

This story is a sequel to Of the Hive

Having fully embraced her new changeling heritage, Twilight Sparkle turns to the past to learn more about her people. A difficult task, given that every other queen cares next to nothing about it.

What she finds will shed unwanted light on a secret better left forgotten.

You've watched every episode at least twice. You make regular pilgrimages to Hot Topic for pony stuff. You post regularly on MLP fanfiction sites. And you have a crush on Fluttershy.

In short, you could not be more of a brony if you tried.

So what happens when the Mane 6 suddenly materialize in your bedroom...and they're not very happy to see you?

Special thanks to Espeon_in_the_morning, RDTwin, The Lost One, JarheadHME, and TinkerStrike, for pre-reading and editing!

EDIT: By Steinbeck's mustache, this fic has been featured!

A dragoness who has seen the world and its wonders. A dragoness who has been on countless adventures and has found dozens, if not hundreds of treasures thought to be nothing but myths. A dragoness who hides a dark secret that is tearing her up inside, is forced to face her guilt head on when she takes a trip to Equestria.
A baby dragon who was raised by ponies. A baby dragon who feels at odds with his own kind. A baby dragon who wonders why he lives as he does will soon get his answer when a stranger comes to town.
Now two souls brought together by fate will build a bond that has always existed through trials and tribulations neither could have predicted.

This story was inspired by three things. The first was the breakout hit, Ten Years Gone, by Some Other Guy, of which you may notice some slight similarities in the beginning. The second was a comment that made me wonder, "What if it wasn't a human coincidentally made to look like Spike?" And the third was me watching Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. The inspiration from that last one will become more apparent later in the story.
I hope you like this, I don't usually write fanfictions, after all.

Part1:From man to mare
Part2:From man to mare: chaotic convergence
Part3:From man to mare: an aching heart
Part5:From man to mare: Time to tell

Derry, now Silver, had a little "issue" during Hearts and Hooves day. Both he...erm...she...and Cyclon now have to deal with the thing that "Silver" feared since becoming a mare: being pregnant. As a man, the thought of pregnancy was reserved for women so he never thought that it would affect him afterwards. Hopefully, with the help of the six, she'll manage to deal with eleven months of swelling up, but will the introduction of a little face actually manage to break the barrier surrounding "The hermit"s heart? And will Cyclon retain all of his motor skills and the majority of his body?

(This one won't be short like the previous. After all, "An aching heart" was meant to be a cliffhanger story)

The pic is from HoovesLikeJagger. Cute and cuddly, isn't it?

After long nights searching through the forbidden archives of the Canterlot Library, you finally find a small tome hidden behind stacks of scrolls about the pre-classical era. The book is thick with loose pages inserted between the regular ones, standing out in odd angles. One of them slips out as you take the book from the shelve and falls to the ground. You pick it up and lift it in front of you. It is a note, written in clean and minimalistic hoofwriting.

To whoever finds this book:
If you managed to come this far, and are actually able to read this tome, know that you have taken the first step in uncovering the secrets of necromancy.

Beware! This writings will make you question yourself and everything you hold true. But if you are still reading, then I guess your mind is already made up. So read on then my poor lost pony, and take the second step, for in your hooves you hold the Diary of the Necromancess.

Part 1:From man to mare
Part 2:From man to mare: chaotic convergence
Part 4:
From man to mare: I love my mommy
Part5: From man to mare: Time to tell

It has been a year since the incident with Discord using Derry's broken mind to spread chaos across Equestria. It may have been short lived, but the adventure that Twilight and Cyclon had within "her" mind has awoken new feelings for Cyclon. Despite being a man at basis, having Silver's body has been nothing but trial and error. How will Derry deal with these feelings that he both appreciates and finds horror in when Celestia announces the end of his "exile"?

Perhaps Rarity will converge towards helping this growing relationship even when it looks more like "friendly" playing. There also seems to be a new stallion in town, one who is a good friend of the captain Bullseye of the royal guards. Where does he come into all this?

Naturally, Stalin the Stallion made that pic for me. Who else could've made it like this?

Both Big Mac and Discord are in here. (Damn you character limitations!)
Part 1:From man to mare
Part 3:From man to mare: an aching heart
Part 4: From man to mare: I love my mommy
Part 5:From man to mare: Time to tell

Derry Wilhall is now living a rather special new life as Silver, his once stuffed animal pony. "She" has been having a better expectance at life and has made firm friends with Twilight Sparkle and Spike and she is still trying to avoid Rarity's insistance to get her together with Big Mac. Besides this, there are many mysteries still left untold, many revolving around the strange Giga Sparkle. How will they be explained, and what is this about a statue?

Ya, I put "The Empire of Blood" on hiatus to make the part 2 just to please you all. SO WORSHIP ME! MUAHAHAHA *thunder*.
