Follow the after-years of Twilight Sparkle, centuries after the end of the show, and find out if a friend lost is a friend gone.... or just somepony waiting to step back into your life.

Twilight Sparkle has always known her parents. Twilight Velvet and Moon Catcher. But if they aren't her true parents? Say goodbye to her current reality. Follow Twilight as she earns the crown, and meets challenges on the way.

Rated Teen for Violence in later chapters (these also explain the Dark tag.)
Alternate Universe for the fact that Twilight has different parents.
Romance for a little TwiDash that will be pretty light until The Sole Ruler-The Epilogue will be pretty romantic too.
Despite the two ominous tags, it is quite light save three chapters (Melding the Crowns, Darkness, and The Elements)
Art is not mine.

When Twilight receives a letter from Princess Celestia asking her to come to the castle for something very important, Twilight is puzzled. What Princess Celestia and Luna have to tell her will change the Unicorn's life forever.

There are Seven Destructive Friendship Sins that can tear apart any friendship, no matter how dedicated or how strong the bond is. Princess Celestia predicts an end to Equestria and all of the world if these sins should take over the motives of the main six. Every old foe will rise and a biblical apocalypse will destroy everything, if they do not get to the very bone of their friendship, and find out what has endangered it. As Twilight Sparkle works to keep everything under control in the coming disharmony, will she and her friends become what they tried to stop?

One night starless night Twilight attempts to force the stars out using an ancient spell. Equestria now has to deal with another alicorn. Luna is furious, Cadence is estatic and Celestia is curious? Now Twilight finds herself having to leave to prove herself and settle 'the old lands' ponies lived in before equestria. Well she succeed? How much are her friends willing to give up to support her? Answers well be revealed inside.

Mystery and adventure, now with books!
Twilight Sparkle's weekly book shipment arrives one book too big. Among the others, there's a handbook about pony genetics. Curiosity leads her to an interesting discovery.

History is a vague thing. It is written by those who are left behind to tell the tale. Who can tell truth from fiction if any chance for a viable reference is far beyond reach?

What knowledge is altered? What is lost? What is hidden away?

And for what purpose?

Knowledge can be a powerful yet dangerous tool. Especially dangerous for those that rely on knowledge alone.

This is my first try on writing. Any feedback is welcome!

I will add more character tags as the story progresses. Don't want to spoil the fun after all.

The latest scheme of a Townsvillain hurls the Powerpuff Girls to another dimension. In new bodies, and with different abilities each, the three must adjust to life in Ponyville. It helps that the locals are friendly. Maybe the Girls can have actual friends for once, rather than admirers...?

This was actually my first foray into MLP fanfiction. I wrote the beginnings of this long before I conceived of Pony Fantasy IV. So, enjoy my attempt at crossing Lauren Faust's two popular girl shows!
