When Twilight Sparkle slipped beneath the covers last night, everything had been fine. She had friends whom she loved, a teacher she adored, and a bright future ahead of her. But when she woke up, her blankets and quilts had been replaced by hospital gowns and padded restraints.

Everything is wrong and nothing makes sense; even her friends have changed. The doctors keep telling her that she is sick, that none of it was real and that it was all in her head. Yet she remembers a life far beyond the hospital walls. She couldn't have made it all up on her own. They must be lying… right?

Acoustiana dealing with life as a musician that is mute, having to work with people not knowing hooflanguage and needing to constantly write things down for others. All the while feeling a sense of loneliness as nopony wanted to get close to her as they didn't know how, or didn't want to know how to understand hooflanguage. Those that made their honest effort to befriend Acoustiana found her to be pleasant and fun to be around, and she always enjoyed playing for them one of her many personal compositions. But even though her few friends would always be the realization that by the end of the day, she would be alone in the silence of her home, with her bed empty of happiness.

(Set after season 4 but before the events of Crusaders of the Lost Mark)

Actions have consequences.

Even the most seemingly innocent of them have the potential to snowball into something greater.

Action: Silver Spoon confesses her unconditional love to Diamond Tiara.
Consequence: Silver Spoon gets friendzoned.

Action: Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon play a hurtful prank on a classmate.
Consequence: Their victim loses her life in an unforeseen accident.

Action: The Cutie Mark Crusaders concoct a plan that will put an end to Diamond Tiara’s wickedness permanently.
Consequence: The course of Equestrian history is forever altered.

Ask your doctor about The Diamond Exchange. The Diamond Exchange is not for everypony. Side effects may include leaving a thumbs up, favoriting the story and leaving comments. In rare but serious cases, a small number of readers have been known to watch the author and recommend the story to other readers. Severe health risks may occur as a result of leaving a thumbs down; the most common being Lyra eating your hands.

Critics can’t stop talking about The Diamond Exchange! But since they charge for their reviews, I’ll just post these that I made up instead.

“The Diamond Exchange kept me sitting in the center of my seat.” – Maud Pie.

“The ending left me more speechless than The Last Roundup.” – Derpy Hooves after accidentally reading the final chapter first.

“I guarantee that you’ll like The Diamond Exchange almost as much as everypony likes me. Almost.” – Flash Sentry with a wink and that obnoxious tongue click sound thing.

“Yes... Crystals...” – King Sombra.

“How long is this thing supposed to be?” – Rainbow Dash

“That’s what she said!” – Pinkie Pie

“Unrequited love! Same sex pairings! Melodrama! My royal eyes have touched common fan fiction!” – Prince Blueblood

“It’s... nice.” – Fluttershy

“The lack of realism in the relationship between Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon (as seen in The Diamond Exchange) is a minor but noticeable flaw that could easily be remedied by the inclusion of some steamy love scenes depicting the raw, unbridled passion that these two have for one another. That would be, like, so hot. Did... Did I say hot? I-I meant realistic. That would be very... realistic. You’re not going to quote me on that, are you? You are? Oh. Well, in that case, I wish to remain anonymous.” – S.S.

Diamond Tiara's father, Filthy Rich, has been abusing her for several years of her life. While Diamond Tiara stayed quiet about it, one of his servants finally gave in and reported it to the Equestrian Foal Protective Services.

Now Diamond Tiara has been taken from her father and is assigned to live with the only family in the area that could legally take them in: the Apple Family.

Now Diamond Tiara is being forced to confront the reality of exactly what she believes about the apples, as well as confront her past.

It's time to see where the diamond lies within the apple trees.

Years have past since the changelings were driven away from Equestria, giving room for peace and love. Suddenly, Twilight is captured in the middle of the night, and is brought to the hooves of Queen Chrysalis. Seeing that she has captured the element of magic, she is determined to gain her revenge against both Twilight and anyone that has ever wronged her.

Using her dark magic, the queen transforms the unicorn into a horrifying creature. Will Twilight hold on to her sanity, and more importantly, her devotion to friends?

Or will she slip into the darkness, and lose all hope.

Props to chaos2012 for bringing me this idea. The story is mine though

Evilpresident is also onboard as a Pre-reader.

Okay, new cover art! This time it was actually made for the fic, so credit goes to BronyInvestigator
I cannot thank him enough.

When I lost my sight, I became a recluse. I hid away, staying in my own world instead of out in the one meant for those with sight. But when Princess Celestia had me move to Ponyville, I had to adjust to a new walk of life, again intended for those with sight. I guess I'm doing okay, thanks to a certain pegasus mare whose kindness and gentle voice got through to me where everyone else has failed.
Rating may be subject to change at later points in the story.

This story is a sequel to A broken Sun

It’s been three months, dear sister, three months since you left. Where could you be? I know you’re out there, I know it. Your most loyal guard and his armies have been scouring Equestria, looking for you, sister. Please, return and we can repair what has been broken and start over. Every night is a nightmare since you left. This wasn’t supposed to happen like this, please, if you can do one last thing, come back. But we will find you, Celestia, and we will mend our relationships. I’ll see to it that you are retrieved, dear sister. Mark. My. Words.

It's the End. Equestria has fallen. Her lands are black and sick. Her skies are dark and cold. All that lives is dead – or corrupted by a foe long thought gone.

Millions of lives are lost, among them heroes and princesses, with its remaining survivors forced to retreat to their last safe haven. For five years, they have struggled to survive, dealing with sieges, rebellions, starvation, and death. The Pony Race is all but doomed.

But hope may yet live.

Not all of the Elements have perished. Two survive, and these two final bastions of Ponykind will make an effort to ride into the coming darkness to end it once and for all...

...or be swallowed by it like everything else.
