This was a one-shot Hearthswarming Eve story we wrote for the group. It's all in rhyme and believe it or not, we did post it on time.

't Is a story about a simpler time for the princesses; well, simpler for the one who obsesses. They did argue in discord and so Harmony they did distort. For the rest of equestria well, you'll have to see. Spoilers are just not for me ;-)

(Note, we did not apply the AU tag because it's a story that presents a viable history that's not been explored in the main series. AU would mean it deviates from established story lines.)

After Twilight closed off the mirror pool, everypony thought that they would never have to deal with more than one Pinkie Pie ever again.

They thought wrong. It turns out things did not get tied up so neatly after all, and now the Pinkie Pie clones are back with a score to settle against a certain lavender alicorn, with the fate of all Equestria in the balance.

Can Twilight, the original Pinkie, and the rest of the Mane Six find a way to overcome the greatest - and pinkest - menace they have ever faced, or will Equestria be transformed into an empire of pink?

What if Cadance hadn't stepped in and stopped Twilight from thinking about using time travel to spare Spike a little embarrassment at the Equestria Games?

Nothing good.

When evil cultists are out kidnapping innocent ponies to summon their dark god, it's up to Princess Celestia and Twilight Sparkle to stop them! Armed with guns, sharp pointy things, magic up the wazoo, and plenty of ammo, the two are ready to kick some flank and chew bubblegum!

And guess who just ran out of bubblegum?

Collaboration with the great and quite handsome alexmagnet, who you all should go check out and stuff.

This story is a sequel to Three Wishes: The Cutie Mark Crusaders Before They Changed The World

Twelve years after the Crusaders discovered their true nature, an ancient evil has returned. Celestia is hurt, magic is weakened, and Equestria is nearly lost. Now our heroes must find a way to fix things before time runs out, and the world falls to darkness forever. They'll join forces with friends they've made around the world, utilize amazing new breakthroughs in science and magic, and get help from some of the most unexpected of sources as they try to fix The Hole In The Sun.

A minor injury leads Apple Bloom to learn that she and the other Crusaders aren't like normal ponies. Not having their marks has always been their common bond, but as the trio uncover their unique nature, it becomes clear that their lives are intertwined on a much deeper level. As they learn the secrets of their shared past, it leads to revelations about their friendship, families, and their long sought after talents. What they discover and accomplish along the way is beyond what anypony would have thought possible.

There is now a sequel! Three Wishes: The Hole In The Sun

And a (more or less) standalone Christmas Special set between this and the sequel. Cinder Claws: The Caribou Legend Of Kol-Klor
