The long night was a period of suffering for everypony in Equestria, but nopony suffered more then the very alicorn that brought an end to the sun. Nyx suffered all through her time as Nightmare Moon, locking the only mare she considered her mother in a dark cell to rot.

Unable to forgive Twilight, and angry at her betrayal, Nyx made a doll in the likeness of Twilight which stared at Nyx when she vented her rage and abuse towards it. But no matter how much Nightmare Moon abused and beat the doll, none of it would change it's smile, nor it's caring and loving eyes; both of which tortured the mare of the moon more and more.

With her duties as the queen of the night, Nyx as Nightmare Moon must fight with her own morality and past as Nyx, and find the courage to forgive Twilight, and to face her once again, whilst becoming the queen Spell Nexus intended her to be, but anyone who knows this story knows the outcome.

In Equestrian heraldry, the Kite Shield is a symbol of protection and strength, and those ponies with a kite shield cutie mark are usually honor bound to bravely protect any sapient being who may need their aid, often at great risk to their own lives.

This is the story of two ponies with such cutie marks, and what these cutie marks reveal to the other.

One pony is a gallant and brave career soldier, who has devoted his entire life to protecting Equestria from all enemies foreign and domestic.

The other is the reincarnated form of one of Equestria's greatest villains, given a second chance, now honor bound to use her power to protect the ponies she cares about.

It is a year since the events of Winter Bells and great changes are afoot this Hearth's Warming, as a newborn alicorn prince binds Twilight’s family closer than ever. And a conversation about the similar marks on their hides will give Uncle and Niece a new and better understanding of each other, and of each other's place in Equestria's emerging future.

A unofficial fan made sequel to Past Sins.

Thanks of course to Pen Stroke who created Nyx and her Universe.

Super special thanks to my tireless Editor and main(and rather heroic) proofreader Recon777 and to awesome prereading duties by Nightmare Nyx. This story is only readable thanks to their efforts . All Mistakes remain my own.

Cover image by yourstruly, Nyx's cutie mark was designed by Alexlayer.

Nyx was a teenager, and everypony forgot about the Nightmare Moon thing (Except for Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon). But she thought she met the right guy, but appareantly she was wrong. This does have characters from "Next Generation Elements". Their are some references about Teen Titans in this story.

Diamond Tiara hates Nyx, this isn't exactly news. However, during a class fieldtrip Nyx finally asks why, and she may not like what she hears.

Written for Telaros because he wouldn't stop whinging for a DiNyx fic he's such a good friend and I'm such a kind, generous soul :3

This story is a sequel to Past Sins

Touch, Smell, Taste, Hearing, Sight

This is the order the five senses develop in for foals as they rest, cradled in the warm safety of a mother’s womb. But for one, her womb was a thorn bush in the dark of night. For one, the safety and warmth that should have carried her into the world was replaced with pain and cold.

These are Nyx's first hours.

At chapter 10 of Past Sins, Princess Celestia brought Nyx to Canterlot almost by force(?) and Nyx became Nightmare Moon. What if Twilight went to Canterlot with Nyx? Will it change? Well, find that out on 'Past sins: What If......'

My first my little pony fanfic. Corrections welcomed but no rude comments.
Recommend to read Past Sins until chapter 10 before Celestia's visit if you didn't.
Special thanks to Pen stroke for the permission to write this.

Yup, my story is 'On Hiatus' again... I'm sorry. Read my blog post if you want to know the reason.

Unofficial sequel to Past Sins.

Ten years after the events of Past Sins, Nyx is now a responsible young mare with the best friends a pony can ask for. It was because of the friendships she made in Ponyville that she was able to finally move on from her past and look forward to the future. But when unwanted memories start to resurface, Nyx begins to realize just what her future holds in store for her.

Can she ever truly escape her past, or is she destined to embrace it?

Nyx belongs to Pen Stroke.

This story is a sequel to Past Sins

Hearth's Warming is a time for friends and family to come together, celebrate harmony, and welcome the new year. Nyx is looking forward to just this as she rides the train to Canterlot with Spike and Twilight. She's going to meet her extended family for the first time and wants nothing more than to make a good impression. Yet, the sheen of the holidays can't hide the trouble caused by meddling grandparents, relentless reporters, and a paranoid uncle.

Its been two years since Spell Nexus was defeated and his cult destroyed, Nyx and Twilight Sparkle have been preparing for another winter. One that is having an odd effect on Nyx.

As the winter draws even closer, Nyx begins to remember a filly, not from her past, but from Lunas. Filled with questions but nopony to answer them, Nyx investigates as to who this white filly of the snow is, and how she is tied to her past.

Can Nyx discover who this filly in her memory is? Or will the answers be buried beneath the snow.

This story is a sequel to Past Sins

Side-story to Past Sins - Spike almost lost Twilight to a hangmare's noose, but now Twilight is safe and Nyx is a filly again. Normal life is returning. Still, Spike can't ignore the fact that Nyx just isn't the same as he remembers her. Her temper is more volatile, and, when she gets angry, all he can see is the rage-driven Nightmare Moon of legend.

And thus Spike has to wonder: Is Nyx truly reformed, or is she one bad tantrum away from calling herself Nightmare Moon again?
