Fate and prophesy can be funny things. Sometimes harmony and magic can be a bit unpredictable.

Starswirl's last prophecy was unclear as the greatest spell caster of his day had notoriously bad horn-writing and was equally bad at only writing down half of what he saw in visions.

For generations Princess Celestia has been subtly manipulating the lives of her ponies for generations, using a combination of Starswirl's prophesies and her own foresight to get the outcome she wanted. But she forgot the three most important rules about trying to manipulate future events: 1) The future is like a river. It follows its own currents and makes its own path. 2) The future is always in motion and is next to impossible to predict with any certainty. 3) The very act of viewing the future changes it.

This story is an AU from the main MLP:FiM starting with a deviation from the episode Magical Mystery Cure.

It all started with a single question: What if it was the Mane 6 that became alicorns and not just Twilight?

It's rated T for mild violence.

Princess Twilight, ruler of Equestria. Yet she feels unsure how to rule her new kingdom. She has her friends, she has Celestia, Luna and Cadence, even Discord to give her advice, but it still doesn't seem to be enough. Until one day not long after her coronation, she received a letter from the unknown with an offer to meet others who might give her the confidence she needed. From who else but her selves?

This tale is a mix of homages to some of my favourite MLP Fanfiction and other ideas of my own which I'm not quite sure if I could write a full dedicated story about. There will be (possible) spoilers for both the other fics and possibly some of my own if I proceed to follow up with them.

Twilight gets a visit from her future self (again). She's expecting some kind of emergency, and it is. Just not the kind she was anticipating...

Inspired by 1trickpone's comic (which is also the cover image). Written in about an hour.

EDIT: Featured?! Wow! Thank you so much everyone!

Celestia and Luna seem disappointed at Flurry Heart's birth, and Twilight wants to know why. The answer is... Probably not that surprising, but there is a solution!

Twilight just has a much better one.

Silly one shot, Flashlight pairing, and a surprise Big Macintosh ending. Merry Christmas/Happy Hearthswarming Eve!

Twilight's relationship with Celestia becomes fragile after Twilight learns that becoming an alicorn came with a longer lifespan, meaning she would outlive all her friends. Then her friends end up in the hospital under mysterious circumstances, will they survive? And will Twilight's relationship with Celestia?

Authors Notes: I appreciate viewer discretion and respecting of my opinions. People tried to convince me that immortality is a good thing here, but I am not a believer in that and never will be. To counter the comment that started that little debate, it's a fact that the highest age for suicide is people in their fifties. Some can overcome the pain of losing loved ones, others are overwhelmed by sadness.

Hello, again!

Many ages after the original adventures of the Elements of Harmony, a certain dragon has his own role to play in the world. Strengthened by what they see as lacking, he stands apart from his own kin as they look upon him with both the fear and respect of one completely devoted to the destined task that he had been hatched for.

After Twilight and her friends rediscover Starswirl’s last spell in the ruins of Golden Oaks Library Rainbow Dash asks, ‘why can’t we all become alicorns?’ Now Ponyville is host to five brand new alicorns and the girls have everything they could ever want; magic, flight, power, influence and all of Equestria wide-open before them... but being a Princess is far more than just having wings and a horn.

Twilight has her friends over at her castle for a quiet "Library Party" of reading and discussion. Rarity brings up an uncomfortable subject that Twilight has been avoiding for a while now, forcing her to confront and discuss the issue.

It doesn't go how ANY of them expected.

Celestia sends Twilight her last, greatest assignment. The lost masterpiece of Star Swirl the Bearded!

The spell that the greatest mage of all time couldn't figure out.

The spell given to her by the mare who thought releasing Discord was a good idea.

The spell that, upon closer inspection, seems about as stable as Rarity's emotional state and as safe as Rainbow Dash's usual workout.

... Maybe Twilight should double check with the princess first.

Winner of the Rage Reviews F*CK THIS PROMPT 6 contest. Prompt: "Equestria is getting a new Alicorn Princess."

In the aftermath of Twilight's Kingdom, Celestia wonders if she should tell Twilight and her friends about something concerning their lives.

Like the fact that they're not going to end.
