First person view fic written from the view of Twilight
Got the idea for the story after seeing the pic that is the cover image.

Twilight grew up with Celestia, for most of her foalhood and looked up to and trusted her as a second mother.
But what happens when that trust is shattered when a horrifying truth is revealed about the one she loved so much?

The Sequel to 'Faith and Doubt'.

It's been two months since the changeling attack and Shining's almost-wedding and much has changed. Twilight Sparkle is now an alicorn and has left Equestria to master her new powers. The sixth element of harmony, the corrupt abstract Doubt, has been reborn in his original form: Faith. He, along with Spike, have gone with Twilight as she sought to heal after the betrayal by her friends and family.

But Twilight's return to Ponyville will not be a happy one; in her absence her friends Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie have been turned into alicorns themselves and the embodiments of their elements. They have seized power and now rule Equestria with iron hooves, using banned magic to turn their friends and family into zealots that obey their every command.

To save Equestria, Twilight will have to do the unthinkable: form a rebellion and declare war on her friends. But will she be willing to make the tough decisions... even if it means choosing between friendship and freedom?

Everything is bad in large doses.

Thank you to all that got this story featured!

It has been several months since the disappearance of Twilight Sparkle..

One night, after watching her sister raise the Moon and set the heavens alight, Princess Celestia begins to bed down for the night, only to be interrupted by portal forming in her room. From out of the portal comes none other than Twilight Sparkle, garbed in strange armor.

Princess Celestia, along with Luna, Cadence, and Shining Armor, are overjoyed by the Element of Magic's return, but are justifiably curious as to where she had been and what she had been doing. And so, Twilight begins her tale. A tale of survival against impossible odds. A tale of a people fighting for the most basic right of all sentient beings. The right to exist.

Why does Equestria need a guided missile cruiser?
What made the US Navy sell it so cheaply?
How could Princess Celestia think this was a good idea?
Learn the true story behind one of the most controversial - and secret - arms deals in history.

Soarin has always flown in the Wonderbolts. His parents did, and he was instantly welcome when he became old enough.
Braeburn has always lived Appleloosa, even if he's lived on his own.

When the Wonderbolts hold a show in Appleloosa, a curious Braeburn simply has to learn what they are. When he sees Soarin, something more than awe fills his heart, and he has to learn how to deal with such.

Art is not mine. This is also my first M/M ship, so I'd love some criticism.

Twilight Sparkle has always known her parents. Twilight Velvet and Moon Catcher. But if they aren't her true parents? Say goodbye to her current reality. Follow Twilight as she earns the crown, and meets challenges on the way.

Rated Teen for Violence in later chapters (these also explain the Dark tag.)
Alternate Universe for the fact that Twilight has different parents.
Romance for a little TwiDash that will be pretty light until The Sole Ruler-The Epilogue will be pretty romantic too.
Despite the two ominous tags, it is quite light save three chapters (Melding the Crowns, Darkness, and The Elements)
Art is not mine.

We know Twilight Sparkle as the silly little mare who didn't have any friends until she was sent to Ponyville by Princess Celestia. However, the rest of Equestria knows Twilight Sparkle as poor number 107497, a number even foals are taught to be wary of. The filly was perfectly fine, until one last taunt pushed her over the edge, into her own imagination, where she made friends; each friend a part of her mind.

Five years later, as Princess Celestia sits with her comatose student, aforementioned student moves. Both in the physical world, and slowly from her dream world as well.

Rated Teen because... well... I'm not sure, it just needs a Teen tag.

Cheer up, Twilight. It's not every day somepony changes species. In fact, no pony has ever changed species. It's something new and you like discovering new things. Granted, Equestrians don't like new things, especially things that fundamentally alter their government. So maybe there is reason not to be happy after all.
