It's been a week since the Royal Wedding, and Twilight and her friends are back in Ponyville, safe and sound. However, ever since they returned from Canterlot, all of Twilight's friends have gone through large bouts of guilt over ignoring her warnings. But of all her friends, Twilight is most concerned about Spike, who keeps waking up in the middle of the night with severe panic attacks.

Despite all her best efforts, Twilight hasn't been able to get her assistant to talk about his dreams, or make him feel better about himself since that day. But after another restless night, Twilight has had enough, and refuses to let him go until he talks about his dream.

However, when Spike finally confesses his recurring nightmare, he talks about what could've happened if Twilight never saved the wedding. And what she discovers, is much worse than she could've ever imagined.

I want to thank CYOA_Anon on 4Chan for helping proofread this. The original pic was made by sherwoodwhisper on Deviantart here.

Princess Luna interrupts one of Diamond Tiara's dreams to have a VERY long and heartfelt talk about the filly's attitude, and she tells her a thing or two about the victims of her bullying, namely, the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
After that, Diamond Tiara is forced to make a decision.

[…unWARP!!!]

Good evening.

This is a one-shot concerning a certain bully, and the decision she has to make once she is given very important information concerning her victims.

NOTE: I started writing this LONG before “Crusaders of the Lost Mark”, and while I made a few last-minute changes to more-or-less have it fit in with that episode, I’ll still give this an Alternate Universe tag, just in case things get even MORE different later on.

When a song doesn't help them see the light, what else can you do?

Print a second edition that calls them out for what they really are.

Twilight has let her anger get the best of her, and has called out her worst detractors for what they really are. But one fan shows her that her aim was not as precise as she thought, and those that took no sides paid the price for her negligence.

Whether they feel genuine care for their heroes, choose to show their upset in more mature ways, find inspiration, or find light after years of darkness, Twilight sees that the fans she'd thought so little of were more than she'd ever imagined.

Rated T for one slight hint at suicide.

I didn't write this for popularity. I wrote this as a metaphor to call people out. Just like they did.
Only I was more careful and actually cared. They didn't.

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?

After earning the friendship of The Cutie Mark Crusaders, Diamond Tiara comes home to her cruel mother. Spoiled Rich is not about to let Diamond Tiara get away with humiliating her in front of the whole school.

My name is Sunburst. I'm a mage studying magic in Canterlot under Perfect Circle. I don't have everything I could ever want, but I can't complain.

Her name was Starlight Glimmer. I spent my entire foalhood with her. We played, we fought, joked and talked. I knew all her secrets and she knew mine. I don't remember us ever being apart before I got my cutie mark.

We were best friends.

Now... we're nothing.

"Would you believe that I've always wished I could be somepony else? Yet I can't see what I need to do to be the pony I want to be."

Diamond Tiara is the daughter of the Rich family. After she cannot win the school president against Pipsqueak, her mother scolls her. The Cutiemark Cursaders reach out to her, but when Pipsqueak tells he cannot afford the promised playground, Diamond Tiara sees her chance to get back in her mother's grace. However Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo are trying their best to turn the course for Diamond Tiara. Can they succeed?

AN: This monologue is a praise for the episode Cursaders of the Lost Mark, therefor it contains spoilers.

Sandbar can't resist the distraction of a soft tail swishing across his desk on a slow day in class. The harmless curiosity leads to a new complication in his relationship with Gallus.

This happened after the 2017 MLP movie. Twilight has a nightmare about the Storm King being alive again, Tempest joining him again, and Spike getting killed by her. She wakes up, crying and rushes over to him. Spike comforts her, telling her that there won't be any way of her losing him.

Once upon a time, the School of Friendship was praised and accredited, after its lessons drove a little filly mad. Imprisoned in Tartarus with only an ancient monstrous centaur to keep her company, Cozy Glow was in the perfect place for Grogar to whisk away so that he could force her to do his bidding.

Twilight Sparkle's friends, bastions of Equestria's highest virtues, left Cozy Glow forgotten and alone, locked in that rusty cage deep underground. Nopony ever attempted to visit her, check up on her, care for her, reform her, or try to find out what was wrong with her.

This is not that story.
