When Sombra, ex-ruler of the Crystal Empire, is discovered alive and well, Twilight has her hooves full keeping the tyrannical king in check. Instead of the original plan of throwing him in a dungeon or banishing him to Tartarus, Celestia decides to go with the plan that worked out well enough for Discord.

To reform Sombra.

Pinkie takes the job, and gets right to work in helping Sombra become a better pony. Will Sombra finally change from his old, wicked ways and reform? Or will he instead strangle the annoying, pink menace known as Pinkie Pie?

Thanks to the awesomely talented Mickeymonster for letting me use his art! Check him out for even more spectacular artwork!

Scootaloo's already a full-grown mare, but her cutie mark is still missing. Even though she can't fly with her undergrown wings, she's been unable to shake her obsession with the sky. And against all the odds, she hasn't given up on her one dream.

A dream to fly.

Huge thanks to MasterFrasca99 for editing!

Celestia looked up at a sun that wasn’t hers, and for the first time in centuries knew fear.

Equestria is under siege and Celestia is nowhere to be found. Now it falls to Luna to hold the fractured nation together, while Twilight unravels the mystery of her mentor’s disappearance, and everypony prepares for war. Meanwhile Celestia, stranded on a foreign plane, must come to terms with the fact she may never see Equestria again.


A Magic: The Gathering crossover, though probably not like one you've read before. Explicitly written for those with zero knowledge of MTG.


Thanks to my prereaders/editors, to whom I am greatly indebted.

FOME was especially helpful in his knoweldge of the MTG universe. If you like that kind of stuff (believe me, you do) check out his epic epic Elementals of Harmony.

The picture I used in the cover image is by Cosmic Unicorn

And thanks to GhostOfHeraclitus for graciously allowing me to use his OC: Dotted Line. Dotted is the star of perhaps my favorite piece of fiction on the site: Whom The Princesses Would Destroy... which is a must read. (My story does not in any way shape or for reflect the universe of Ghost's Celestial Bureaucracy. If it did, it would have been a better story.)

In the Ponyville schooling system, story-time is represented by two seperate, yet equally important groups: The gangsta rapper who reads the tale, and the pony school children who are forced to listen to it. These are their stories... *Chung Chung*
--Rated Teen for cursing. A good deal of it. What did you expect? It's Ice Cube, for God's sake.--

How do you explain to someone that you want to be something else?

A brony is sent to Equestria to "repent his sins". If this was your regular pony fan he'd be grateful for the opportunity. Unfortunately, it isn't.

This brony has read his fair share of boring HiE FanFics and is determined to juice up the old formula and make his a success.

By whatever means he regards necessary.

Rated teen for strong language and suggested themes. Also to clarify: this is meant as a joke. Also: major editing soon due to horrendous grammar. Another also: currently on mini-hiatus.

Good intentions always seem to go awry. In the search for the more destructive of our race, the few of us who live peacefully in Equestria's borders must bear the heaviest burden. Cast from the town I once loved, and my family destroyed, I seek my revenge on those who took them from me. By the power of my blood, sweat and tears, and with plenty of luck, I plan on watching Canterlot burn.

I am Amethyst and I am a changeling.
