A terrible accident leaves Sweetie Belle horribly disfigured. The once gorgeous filly is now deemed a freak, abandoned by her friends and even her sister. Thinking she's all alone in this cruel world, there is one who reaches out to her with the gift of friendship. The results turn out to be a little... chaotic.

This was my first fic. Pardon the crappiness.

It's been a week since the Royal Wedding, and Twilight and her friends are back in Ponyville, safe and sound. However, ever since they returned from Canterlot, all of Twilight's friends have gone through large bouts of guilt over ignoring her warnings. But of all her friends, Twilight is most concerned about Spike, who keeps waking up in the middle of the night with severe panic attacks.

Despite all her best efforts, Twilight hasn't been able to get her assistant to talk about his dreams, or make him feel better about himself since that day. But after another restless night, Twilight has had enough, and refuses to let him go until he talks about his dream.

However, when Spike finally confesses his recurring nightmare, he talks about what could've happened if Twilight never saved the wedding. And what she discovers, is much worse than she could've ever imagined.

1,000 years ago, Princess Celestia had to make the single hardest decision of her life: harmony or family? Luna was given every chance to listen to reason, but still she persisted, forcing her sister to unleash the Elements against her to preserve their kingdom. Luna now wears black spots on her cutie mark, a stain left on her soul from the spirit of the Nightmare. But what was Celestia's penance?

Having to live with what she'd done. The brunt of that force came at the worst possible time: the first night after Luna left.

This is a pretty simple "Celestia struggles with banishing Luna" fic I found sitting in my GDocs that seemed alright, so I rolled with it. There are many like it, but this one is mine. Preread and edited by iisaw. Comments are worth more to me than anything, though I certainly appreciate favorites and likes as well. Have at me, friends!

Testing the fabrics of morality and his body, he seeks to kill himself for good.

Too bad there's so many distractions on the way.

One fateful day, Discord felt a disturbance in the balance of things. Not just him, but Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich, too. They all know what happened.

Laughter had experienced a loss.

This is for the loss that has been endured on 8/11/14, of a comedy icon that never failed to try and make everyone smile. O Captain, our Captain.

Spike was left alone in Manehatten, blamed himself for the breezies and Twilight, his practical big sister, completely ignored him when he was scared to death in the Everfree Castle. Realizing that no one may care about him anymore, Spike thinks that he is no longer needed and tries to kill himself.

It's the End. Equestria has fallen. Her lands are black and sick. Her skies are dark and cold. All that lives is dead – or corrupted by a foe long thought gone.

Millions of lives are lost, among them heroes and princesses, with its remaining survivors forced to retreat to their last safe haven. For five years, they have struggled to survive, dealing with sieges, rebellions, starvation, and death. The Pony Race is all but doomed.

But hope may yet live.

Not all of the Elements have perished. Two survive, and these two final bastions of Ponykind will make an effort to ride into the coming darkness to end it once and for all...

...or be swallowed by it like everything else.
