A year after Nyx's first Hearth's Warming, she and her adoptive mother Twilight Sparkle are back in Canterlot to visit Twilight's parents... and, as Nyx learns, to take a tour of Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns on the teacher's workday after school has let out for the holiday.

Unfortunately for Nyx, not all the faculty is as good at teaching as Princess Celestia... or, for that matter, as good at not being a pest.

And why does Superintendent Spell Nexus, the pony who created Nyx with forbidden magic, keep turning up? (Well, besides the fact that he runs the school.)

An unofficial story in the Past Sins universe, set a year after Winter Bells. Written for Brony-wan Kenobi for the 2022 Jinglemas story exchange.

Part of the Remember Fort Libris print anthology, thanks to our Kickstarter supporters!

This story is a sequel to Canterlot Has Fallen

Time marches forward in Equestria, and yet the allure of "what if?" remains. Twilight wonders about the "what ifs" as she tries to guide Equestria to a bright and prosperous future. Cadance wonders about the "what ifs" as she sees her daughter growing.

The power of "what if" tempts once again, but are the little ponies really ready for the answers?

Celebrating the 10 year anniversary of Past Sins! Thank you all so much for letting me and my stories be part of the community!

In the early morning of April 30th, Princess Celestia and Luna came to the peaceful town of Ponyville and delivered a 6 month old filly to live and be raised under the care of the town's librarian and the Bearer of the Element of Magic, Twilight Sparkle. For years, the filly, now named Selena, lived a peaceful life with Twilight, along with her older sister Nyx, while having no clue of her past with the only thing being the strange lightning bolt shaped scar on her forehead that refuses to heal.

5 years later, Selena begins her first year at school, where she befriends the Cutie Mark Crusaders and makes an enemy out of the school bully Diamond Tiara. However, Selena's life turns upside down when Malice Lamar, a unicorn stallion that has ties to her past, escapes from the Canterlot Castle dungeons with a dangerous plot to kill the young filly. In an attempt to protect the young filly, Princess Celestia and Luna move Selena to Canterlot Castle while the Royal Guard begins a pony hunt for Malice.

When things take a sour turn, Selena realizes that the only way to defeat the past is to face the past itself. Will Selena be able to stop the psychotic stallion and save the ponies she loves or will she fail?

In the first chapter to the 'Selena Sparkle Story', Selena comes into the terrifying realization that sometimes, the past can come back to haunt you, but in this case, the past is coming back to hunt her down.

(Nyx is property of Pen Stroke, the creator of 'Past Sins')

This story is a sequel to Glimpses

It was supposed to be a simple day for Shining Armor. Take his daughter, Flurry Heart, and niece, Nyx, out to run some errands while his sister and wife handle preparations surrounding the Festival of Friendship. It was supposed to be a day of fun, relaxing activity. Yet, after the arrival of an invading army, the day would be anything but pleasant.

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.

This story is a sequel to Goodbye My Child

Twilight's daughter Nyx tells the story of her mother to a student of her own. As Nyx's time draws to a close and she prepares to be reunited with her mother and their friends at last, Nyx tasks another Alicorn with training her student who might one day become an alicorn and guardian of the dream realm.

Nyx is an original character by the legendary Pen Stroke credit goes to him for her creation.

Edit: This story was featured Jan 11th!

After living through a long alicorn life, Twilight's time finally comes. All of her old friends have passed on, but she still has her daughter Nyx by her side at the end. Before she reunites with everyone else, they share a moment.

Nyx is an original character from Past Sins by Pen Stroke. Credit goes to him for her creation. This is my tribute to her and that legendary story which is one of the most loved on fimfiction.

The story's cancelled for undefined time, anyone currious enoigh is free to ask for rough & raw version where one can see what might have been. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Stay safe!

One night Nyx persuades Twilight to read her a story before bed-time, and since then, when they have time, they come together to listen to Twilight as she tells the story of Nyx: Guardian of The Night.

Loosely based on Past Sins universe created by Pen Stroke

Inspired by many great artists but mainly by Chaos Phantasm(thank you for all the help) and Pen Stroke.

Thanks a lot to my friends and mainly my brother, Thomas, for helping out with the core plan of the story.

E. 26.3.2020:
The story is now on hiatus for an unknown time.
E. 19.5.20
Cancelled while in process of rewriting. Might take a long while though, apologies.

Past Sins AU. What would happen if Nyx was found by some-pony other than Twilight Sparkle? Some-pony who did not have her best interests at heart-- like a certain Changeling Queen? Inspired by Glimpses, by Pen Stroke.

Celestia is excited about her wedding to Twilight Sparkle, but Luna feels left out.

All three of them have become consumed by this forthcoming event to the exclusion of their responsibilities.

Everything is not as innocent as it seems, and only Nyx can step in to save the day.

This story takes place between S3 E13 “Magical Mystery Cure” and S4 E25 “Twilight’s Kingdom”.

Sink holes have been appearing around the Everfree Forest and even as close as the outskirts of Ponyville, so the Royal Sisters know that it is time to strike a treaty with the Diamond Dogs before their tunneling causes houses to disappear into the ground.

While they’re away, they have to deputise two ponies to run Equestria on their behalf and the only two with sufficient magic are Twilight and Nyx.

How will Nyx react?

Is she ready for such power again?
