This story is a sequel to Past Sins

Side-story to Past Sins - Slowly, the wounds inflicted by Nightmare Moon's reign heal. Ponyville is being reconstructed, and the last refugees are leaving the castle. Nyx is with Twilight. Celestia and Luna rule Equestria and guide the sun and moon once more. Everything is as it should be.

But some things are never washed away. These are the things that remain to remind us of the past. They remind us of the good times we've had with friends and family. They never let us forget the mistakes we've made. Everyone has them. Twilight has them. Nyx has them.

And, on occasion, when you share your scars, your photos, and your trinkets with another, they just might share theirs in return.

On a dark night filled with even darker magics, an insane cult attempts to give Nightmare Moon a body and life of her own, utterly separate from Princess Luna. But, when the spell is interrupted by Celestia, something unexpected is created.

Now, a little black alicorn filly named Nyx finds herself living under the care of Twilight Sparkle, only to be haunted by memories and emotions from her past. Is she Nightmare Moon reborn or is she simply a doppelganger with a soul and mind of her own? Can Twilight Sparkle protect Nyx from those who refuse to see past her dragon eyes and black coat?

Or, will Nyx be forced to inherit the sins that may not even be hers and become the greatest evil Equestria has ever known?

Hearth's Warming is a time for friends and family to come together, celebrate harmony, and welcome the new year. Nyx is looking forward to just this as she rides the train to Canterlot with Spike and Twilight. She's going to meet her extended family for the first time and wants nothing more than to make a good impression. Yet, the sheen of the holidays can't hide the trouble caused by meddling grandparents, relentless reporters, and a paranoid uncle.

After a thousand years of exile, Princess Luna settles in for what she hopes will be the first of many peaceful nights after an eon of mental “self” torture. Though pleasant dreams evade her, it is not her own screams of terror that torment her.

This is a story that is strongly influenced by my headcanon about Luna’s dream-walking ability as well as other bits of my headcanon. Not the least of which being my headcanon as to why Luna’s appearance changes from season one to season two. Yes I realize it was an animation decision, but I’m still allowed to have headcanon on the subject.

Okay it is now the part of the show where we give shout outs.

Parents usually want the best for their children: that they live happy lives and follow their dreams. Parents also worry about their children and their well-being—even after they have set out on their own. What happens when these two desires clash?

Authors Note: This story immediately follows the conclusion of Scoot Camp, so I highly recommended that you read that story first.

Her Great-Grandfather was a Wonderbolt. Her Grandfather was a Wonderbolt. Her Father was a Wonerbolt.

Lavender could also be a Wonderbolt, but she doesn't want to. With such a legacy behind her, however, can she really disappoint her family by not becoming one of Equestria's elite flyers?

Sweetie Belle has had great success so far in her career as a singer. It is a glamorous life. She travels all over Equestria, meets nobility, famous and common ponies alike, and spreads her special talent to all those who can enjoy it. However, great success often comes at great personal sacrifice. Is there a point where that sacrifice becomes too much for Sweetie Belle?

Author's Note: This story is meant to stand alone, but there are some key references to Love is in Bloom and to a short-story called Selfishness and Generosity written by Alaborn.

Family has an unspoken bond. They support each other through thick and thin. Family celebrates with each other, they grieve with one another. It's the silent rule that the Apples know by heart and never violate.

Apple Bloom knows her future may not stay at Sweet Apple Acres, but she has always been willing to help her family. She may be the youngest, but that never stops her from doing whatever she could. Because they love each other.

The night before Babs Seed returns to Manehattan, Apple Bloom asks to talk.

Really talk.

About everything.
