This story is a sequel to Of Laurels & Lace

A year has past since the fall of the northern city of Pendant Lakes, and Equestria is under threat of an attack like no other from an enemy that Rarity had thought to have perished in its depths. Bombings plague the nation, secrets start unraveling and when chaos soon overruns the country, it will not be long before a terrifying truth kept hidden will be unraveled to her.

Journeying beyond Equestrian Borders was Pinkie Pie, found with no recollection of her past life and on her own travels with the enigmatic Caravan, exploring places far and wide. However, when the world soon turns to chaos and her past comes into clarity, she would soon find that the world is not as it seemed.

These two mares, along with her friends, will uncover what could be the greatest conspiracy that none other than the alicorns had kept hidden from the world for so long. A secret that Celestia and Luna had kept silent about. A secret threatened to be exposed by none other than their oldest adversary.

Sequel to my other story, Of Laurels & Lace. It's required for you to read that, or you won't understand any part of the story. Plus, the prequel still requires a lot of editing, so don't expect it to be as glorious as my more recent works.

Tips, critiques, full-fledgling reviews and such are welcome!

EDIT: Story has been recently recovered and reposted as of April 2013. A big thank you to the awesome jackrose for his contribution!!

After a party to welcome the season of Nightmare Night, the library becomes the target of strange activity. Minor annoyances prelude greater events, and soon Twilight and Spike each take action to handle the situation in their own way. All the while, questions hang in the air. What lingers amongst the shelves? What watches from the corners? What stands just behind you only to disappear when you turn to look?

What is in the library, and what does it want?

Sweetie Belle's magic is on the fritz again, only this time it brings about trouble for all of Ponyville, leaving a night none of the ponies will ever forget.

Dear Reader,
What you are about to read is not a happy tale. It is the story of my life, and the evil that surrounds it. What I would give to change my history, and make everypony's life normal again. I do so wish that none of the following events ever happened. I wish that I just lived my life on my farm with my mom and dad, but that isn't how things work. Now I am living my life on the run from creatures of unimaginable horror. Creatures that would enjoy tearing anypony limb from limb. If only the original six could have stopped them one-thousand years ago... none of this would have happened. Maybe they weren't strong enough, maybe they couldn't stop it, maybe they were just too powerful. Whatever the reason was, his world is now my Hell. My name is Viel Vulter, and I am a unicorn. To make matters worse, I live in a unicorn hating world. Before any of this started ponies would go and murder any unicorn they could find. It's not as bad as it use to be, but we are still hated and even killed in some parts of Equestria. Along the way I'll meet some friends.... and lose some as well. Welcome to my world dear reader. This is my life, my curse, my gift, my hell. This is your last chance to turn around and leave, for when you start reading this, there will be no turning back. Welcome to the world of New Equestria.

Many years have passed since Discord's first defeat at the hooves of the Alicorns. Equestria has enjoyed a time of peace and prosperity under the rule of Celestia and Luna. However, all good things must come to an end.

Equestria is now faced with a new threat from the north. With Celestia unable to fight, the fate of the world rests solely upon her sister, Luna. Perhaps, with the help of a trio of unlikely heroes, Luna can defeat this new foe, and save Equestria in the process.

After finding a strange creature in the Everfree Forest that Fluttershy nicknames, Quinn, strange things start to happen in Ponyville. Ponies begin to go missing one after the other, their unconscious bodies left as the only evidence. Many citizens of Ponyville blame it on the dark and mysterious wind that has been flowing through the town. Is it the wind's fault? Is it the creature Fluttershy brought home? Or is it something else?

The Sonic Rainboom didn't happen when Twilight needed it to, and thus she failed her entrance exam. Now, just minutes later, Trixie's test begins, and an unexpected explosion taps into her full potential.

I wrote this as more of a challenge to myself to go against Trixie stereotypes, and as such it will be quite short.

This story is a sequel to And He Silently Painted A Rainbow

Hearts & Hooves Day is arriving soon, and Rainbow Dash had prepared many plans to spend time with her new and special coltfriend, Taciturn Bleach. However, a small note soon found its way onto her doorstep, and it wasn't long before she had to be whisked away to attend, much to her disbelief, a funeral: the passing of Taciturn's father.

Sure enough, Rainbow soon found herself at the grand estate of Taciturn's family, despite the colt's slight whimpers. However, behind the luxury of such a wondrous home, the mare quickly realized that there was more to his life than just paintings and his carefree attitude, and beneath the solace of his home slept the skeleton in the cupboard that Taciturn had never wanted her to find.

Every pony has its secrets, but sometimes the silent ones keep the darkest secrets...

Cover art made by me. Yay!
Sequel to And He Silently Painted A Rainbow. You might have to read that first, or you probably won't understand anything from this story.

Currently undergoing maintenance, not much for the first few chapters but expect the latter to be vastly different. I will post the originals on google docs if anyone wishes to read them.

An evil book thought to have been effectively sealed for eternity finds its way into the hooves of a little unicorn filly. What they don't know can hurt them as curiosity, temptation and lust for power drives one of their friends to the extremes and beyond.

Hearth's Warming Eve was one of the many holidays where Rainbow Dash would've appreciated, with sledding alongside the rest of the Mane Six and her usual snowball fights with Scootaloo. Instead she was stuck with nursing a pony who had, much to her dismay, a few problems of his own.

Through the twelve days towards the Winter Wrap Up, however, the pony, inaptly named Taciturn Bleach, began to inspire her, only by his rare and drastic talent; one that she had found out perplexed most, if not, all of the ponies around, including her.

After all, not all rainbows have to be colorful to be perfect.
