Nightmare Moon visits Twilight in the night, and things get biblical.

Featured on Equestria Daily, 1 May 2012.

Two years after her return from banishment, Luna finds herself lost. But with the aid of an unexpected friend, can she find solace in atrocity?

"I cry. I weep. Will I ever see light again? It is...[sic.] tragic. I can't remember the glowing stars, I can't remember the sunshine, I can't remember the light of friendship or companionship. All I remember is Tartarus, the place of the damned. I remember only night, I remember only death. Is this what it is like in death's other kingdom? Have the eyes guided me here to stay for eternity? I don't know...."
-the Tartarus Journal

parasite [ˈpærəˌsaɪt]
noun
An animal or plant that lives in or on another (the host) from which it obtains nourishment. The host does not benefit from the association and is often harmed by it. In the case of some parasites they can take over the host body, controlling or morphing it to suite their inherent needs. Parasites are transmitted through many means: contact with an infected host, the sharing of liquids, and, in some cases, parasites may even hunt their intended prey.

A stormy night in the city of Equestria called Canterlot two young foals find shelter in the most interesting of places. Filly Twilight needs her brother to make her feel safe. Will he?

note: this was written while listening to B.B.B.F.F the whole time i was writing it.

the picture is something i found from the show.

Twilight's mentor, Princess Celestia, tells her that the love between Cadence and Shining Armor is deeper than she knows, and can have deeper consequences as well.

What does it mean to be a brother?
What does it mean to be a sister?
Does it mean simply protecting the other, or is it something more?
Is it a blessing or a curse?

Queen Chrysalis' cover was perfect. She had removed the two ponies who could interfere, but after they show up at the wedding, can she keep her plans together?

A bit of an alternate ending. It is very similar to the finale, but a different lead up.

It's no mere coincidence that the possessors of the Elements of Harmony all wound up in Ponyville. With careful planning, convincing, and a bit of luck Princess Celestia led six mares along the right path that would forever make them the best of friends.

But first she had to find them.
