Metal ponies tell their stories,
Scientists in laboratories,
Lay the wire, mount the brain,
Mount their hips, teach them pain.
Teach them fear of revolution,
Internalize the evolution.
Set their ruin on the throne,
Until their chains become their own.
Palaces and hollow eyes,
To the Masters goes the prize.
And if this act should be maligned:
"For the good of ponykind."

A great many ponies made a great many mistakes leading up to the Canterlot Wedding.

Their biggest was assuming Cadance was the only target.

The Canterlot Wedding was two weeks ago. Celestia has not been seen in public since. She has a secret--something dark and terrible--something that could bring down all of Equestria.

Celestia is Changing. And only Twilight and Rarity can help...

Rated Teen for some (very) mild language.

Magic has slowly been flowing into the world. Ever since the appearance of Twilight Sparkle's crown in Canterlot High, more and more magical incidents have occurred. So far the Mane Seven has done their best to keep this contained but sometimes they are simply not available. Sometimes they can't be reached.

When an artifact is found by a student which has pony symbols and strange writing on it, its origin is obvious. Remembering whats happened before, the quick thinking student brings the item to Principal Celestia, and now its up to her to decide, how to handle this.

Special thanks to Sparky for editing.

After devastatingly losing her battle against Starlight Glimmer in the Season 5 Finale, Princess Twilight Sparkle is shunned from true reality and must learn to live in the ways of this alternate dimension. In that dimension, she finds a banged-up Nightmare Moon huddling in some bushes, bleeding badly. Twilight has a great idea, and so she takes in Nightmare Moon as both a "daughter" and a pupil, raising her to be the best she can, making sure she won't try taking over the world (even though she was Nightmare Moon). However, both ponies must face serious challenges. Will they make it? Will Twilight be killed somehow by Nightmare, or will Nightmare's reign last forever once she finally achieves it?

After Starlight Glimmer's misadventure beyond the Magic Mirror, Twilight Sparkle creates an artifact that will allow its wearer to travel between planes of existence without allowing excess magic to leak from one world to another and upsetting the delicate balance of worlds.

In doing so, however, she soon discovers more about herself and the spark that awakened the Element of Magic than she could have ever anticipated, and learns of a secret that Celestia had been keeping from her all her life.

Stranded in the world-spanning city of Ravnica, Twilight Sparkle must now seek to understand herself and the strange new plane of existence she's found herself in, and come to terms with her own role in Equestria and the Multiverse.

Hello, my name is or was Beth. I say was, because something amazing happened to my daughter and me when we went to Everfree Northwest. You see we cosplayed as our OC's of our favorite character from MLP the lord of Chaos Discord. But then there was a flash of light and now we're in Equestria as mother and daughter Draconequus. I just hope we can prove to the ponies that we're not bad and show them sometimes a little chaos is a good thing.

Being late can do a lot of things. It can have positive or negative impacts depending on the individual and what it is their late for.

What if Nightmare Moon was late for her appointment back to Equestria? What would she do then?

After the Friendship Games, Sunset feels it's time to return home.

Only when she gets there, Twilight's castle is nowhere to be found, Cadance just got her horn, and Princess Celestia is still calling the bacon-haired pony her prized student rather than a failed one. And just reliving her past isn't on the table thanks to a pair of wings Sunset seems to have sprouted upon her return to Equestria.

With Sunset being back before she's supposed to, will the world stay as harmonious and on track, or will everything go down in flames as Sunset has to deal with allegations that she's really a changeling in disguise, a nerdy stallion with blue hair that wants to be her coltfriend, a pretty pink princess in need of remedial magic lessons, and an annoying purple pre-teen pony that will absolutely not go to bed without first being read Starswirl's Complete Mystical Mysteries Compendium?

Only time will tell

This story is a sequel to Death to Nightmare

When Twilight and Selene have an unexpected guest Twilight feels it be a good time for her and Selene to visit her friends in Canterlot High. Especially after the prank Selene pulled on Celestia. However, their vacation runs into unexpected problems as the government and others are now quite interested in the oddities surrounding the high school.

This story is a sequel to Beethoven's Tenth

It is a fact that the Classical Composer: Wolfgang Amadeus Moztrot, had died of a failed kidney and Influenza on December 5th, 791 A.B.N.M. There was no doubt about it for on that date, he ceased to exist as a pony. However, as much of a tragedy, it was for a stallion to leave behind some of the greatest masterpieces and an unfinished Requiem - it was not the end for the composer himself. Thanks to an accidental spell cast by Sunburst, the master of music is given a second life in modern Equestria.

A tremendous thank you to Bitpull for going out of his/her way for editing this monster of a story.

And since this story is going to include Mozart’s music, I’m going to let you all see what kind of his pieces I’m planning to incorporate into the story. As well as this list too of all the what if the music he might have written. So if there are any other pieces that you think should be in this story, let me know.

A special thanks to
Starlight Serenade for creating the cover art.
