This story is a sequel to A Trip Through the Mirror

For a changeling, love is magic, and magic is love. They are one and the same within the changeling body. To share magic is to share love. And we all know what happens when an unreformed changeling shares love. Unfortunately for Chrysalis, she got caught up in the moment and forgot for just a second. But a second was enough...

A "what if?", alternate ending for "Frenemies".

Written for Equimorto for Jinglemas 2018.

Radiant Hope is overjoyed to celebrate Hearth's Warming with Sombra for the first time in over a thousand years. Pharynx is cautiously optimistic about his brother's plans for a holiday party. But both of them are shocked and hurt to find that their loved ones don't want to spend the holiday with them. A chance meeting in a diner offers them both the chance to fix the holiday season, but will they be strong enough to overcome the hopes and fears of all the years gone by?

After the Umbrum's defeat, Sombra and Radiant Hope set out to find the shards of Princess Amore, but the former King is still tormented by guilt. Along the way, he and Hope grow closer - even starting a family. Along the way, Sombra discovers that the journey of redemption is never easy, but that the destination makes it worth it.

EDIT: Now with a sequel!

Having been forced to deplete their territory of gems by Rarity, Rover, Fido and Spot must find a new way to offer Tribute to the Alphas of all Dogs. Chapter 1 has been revised a bit, I'd suggest re-reading anyway.

Who could have imagined that such a beautiful underground oasis could not only be located so close to Ponyville, but that it had remained undiscovered until now?

Very unlikely, actually, as Maud soon learns that her new home comes with some... prior tenants.

Inspired by a comment from NodoubtbuodoN. So this is partially his fault too.

So the dogs had gotten rid of that whining, crying pony that drove them all up the walls. Everyone was happy, they got to be left alone and made sure to keep a wide berth from ponyfolk from now on. But then the most sacred thing a dog has got threatened. Their homes, their families, their pack. With everything at stake and an enemy that is way beyond what they have any hope of taking on they must make a deal with the devil, they must get Rarity's help.

But is the price for their pack's safety too high, even for them?

Knowing how vindictive Rarity can be, probably.

The Elements of Harmony haven't been needed in such a long time and still sit in their place at the Tree of Harmony. It's been many years since Equestria has been at peace. However, Queen Celestia and Luna have taken notice of things yet to come and have debated every option they could take. Tirek was brought up and Celestia decided that trying to reform him would be the best option they would have. The risk was heavy, but it was a risk they needed to take.

Keep in mind this is how Celestia and Luna look like in this AU

Discord has been frozen in stone for another thousand years. Chrysalis was blasted away with a concentrated attack of love. Sombra exploded from the power of the Crystal Heart. Tirek, thought to have been put back in Tartarus.

Who could’ve known that they were simply pushed onto another dimension? Now working as teachers at a High School, influencing the next generation to be their army.

If only they weren’t all assigned to the same kids.

Fluttershy had become Equestria's resident villain reformer. So, reforming a now powerless Sombra should be easy, right? Well, there's more to it than that. Take one magic-deprived unicorn, mix in some serious emotional baggage, and you get a disaster.

This road won't be easy to walk, but it's one she has to take. That much remains clear.

Sombra, deposed King of the Crystal Empire, has found a being whose cruelty matches his own—a rabbit named Angel Bunny. There is only one course of action that Sombra can now take that makes sense to him.

He must cuddle Angel.
