When Twilight Sparkle suggested they all go see the new racy movie that just came out of Canterlot, Dash was all for it. Now she and her friends have to sit through a horror movie that also has kissing and hugging and all kinds of weird stuff. No pairing. It's a Bible Black fusion that doesn't get cloppy, though it does poke fun at the tropes of pony clop.

Princess Luna has always been more at home on the battlefield than in a palace. The reasons for that were left mostly unexamined, for things are what they are, so why try to fight fate? Fish do not fly, birds do not swim, and the princess of the moon cannot be anything other than what she is. But when a dream reveals that in this modern age the impossible can become reality, she begins to examine who she is in an all new light.

A story about identity, discovery, and love.

This is technically set in the same world as Over a Cardboard Sea, but the two stories are only vaguely related and you do not have to read one in order to appreciate the other. It also takes place in the same world as Either Or and shares some themes with it.

Gorgeous cover art by blankflank.

After stumbling upon the ruins of an ancient kingdom, the gang meets an equally ancient pony who shares the secret of a forgotten realm, but also a secret their princess had held from them until now. Is Princess Celestia really the individual they've always believed her to be? Or is something more sinister at work in the shadows? Twilight will have to rely on what may be her mentor's final lesson and unexpected allies when the power of Disharmony threatens Equestria...

This is my "serious" MLP fanfic...serious in the sense of episodes such as "Friendship is Magic", "The Return of Harmony", and "The Crystal Empire"...the episodes where they have to deal with a powerful threat to everyone's well-being. And in that tradition, I have this in "two parts", just like the two-part episodes. Ideally, it should be treated as a two episode plotline.

This fanfic is partially in response to the constant criticism that Princess Celestia gets. It explores more of the Twilight/Celestia relationship and shows how even someone who doesn't always step out to give the villain a bloody nose personally can still be making a world of difference.

Finally, it's important to know that this story was written only a few episodes into Season Three and prior to looking at the comic series, which presents its own story of the background of Nightmare Moon.

There’s no end to the monsters that lurk in the dark.

Ghosts, werewolves, mad scientists, cultists, mutants, zombies, vampires, aliens and more lie in wait in the dark corners of Equestria, terrorizing the night. But the most infamous and dangerous of them all is the legendary witch Twilight Sparkle, with a five hundred million bit bounty on her head.

Seeking fame and fortune, Rainbow Dash sets out to defeat the legendary witch and collect the massive reward. The one thing she wasn't counting on was Twilight being less evil than she expected.

Many years ago, when Equestria was still young, was a young princess, who struggled living in the shadow of her older sister.

History will tell us about Nightmare Moon rebelling against her sister, and threw Equestria into what she wanted to be eternal night. History will note the captain of the Luna guard standing by his mistress's side, until she was defeated and exiled to the moon. Then he fled, forever in exile, and dishonor.

Now, with the return of princess Luna, and the defeat of the shadowy entity known as Nightmare Moon, we learn that history, was wrong.

At least in one BIG detail..

Can Shining rally the defenders of Canterlot to oppose Commander Tempest, if only to ensure he, Flurry Heart, and Nyx can escape? Or are they doomed to be captured and possibly turned to stone? 

No matter what happens, it’s a day neither Shining Armor nor Tempest Shadow will ever forget.
