Clover the Clever was one of the greatest spellcasters of all time, only falling short of her teacher, Star Swirl. No pony could match her spell for spell but he.

Her friends are departed. Private Pansy is in the far south, exploring new territories. Chancellor Puddinghead and Smart Cookie are far too busy with diplomacy to ever speak to her. Commander Hurricane has flown far to the north to chase the Nimbus Ring. Her last company is her oldest friend, Platinum.

Now she's alone.

Platinum vanished without a trace right front of her, immensely powerful magical energy nearly burning her senses. Something has taken the Once-Princess, but unlike Hurricane, she has no need to travel far into the outer reaches of the world to find what she seeks.

No, for Clover and Star Swirl, the culprit lies far closer to home.

This story is a sequel to Veil of Thoughts

After surviving a spell that merged Twilight and Dash into a single being during the story Veil of Thoughts, the two mares are still struggling to get back to as normal a life as they can have. Except, didn’t they used to have more friends? Why is it so hard to remember…

The boundaries of reality are starting to crumble apart. Half dreams haunt their waking world. Memories of another life seep through their mind. What they were is quickly becoming little more than Fragments of Memories.

Friends, family and even enemies will come together to save Twilight Dash before it’s too late and there is nothing left to save.

The long awaited, highly anticipated, sequel to Veil of Thoughts. Don't forget to remember.

Years have past since the changelings were driven away from Equestria, giving room for peace and love. Suddenly, Twilight is captured in the middle of the night, and is brought to the hooves of Queen Chrysalis. Seeing that she has captured the element of magic, she is determined to gain her revenge against both Twilight and anyone that has ever wronged her.

Using her dark magic, the queen transforms the unicorn into a horrifying creature. Will Twilight hold on to her sanity, and more importantly, her devotion to friends?

Or will she slip into the darkness, and lose all hope.

Props to chaos2012 for bringing me this idea. The story is mine though

Evilpresident is also onboard as a Pre-reader.

Okay, new cover art! This time it was actually made for the fic, so credit goes to BronyInvestigator
I cannot thank him enough.

Sugarcube Corner has been closed for a week and the only clue as to what is going on is a letter sent to Rainbow Dash.

This is my entry into The More Most Dangerous Game contest.

It's under the Cupcakes prompt but is NOT a retelling of Cupcakes.

Twilight is a young crystal pony who has a serious problem. Unlike the other ponies whose coats are brilliant and translucent, Twilight is bland and dull.

The upcoming Crystal Heart ceremony is her last chance to shine. She'd better not fail, because if she does...

Well, let's just say that there's a reason why ponies like her disappear.

For almost a thousand years, the immortal Nightmare Moon has reigned over Equestria as Empress. To the average pony, Nightmare Moon is an overarching enigma whose rule is absolute and whose wrath is terrible. But to Twilight Sparkle, who as an orphan has never known her parents, the Empress is something else entirely. When the young unicorn is brought under the royal wing as an apprentice, she learns a great deal more about the supposed tyrant than she ever knew. But as Twilight is introduced to life with her new mentor, she is thrust into a world of political intrigue, conspiracies and secrets. Secrets that were never meant to be revealed. As allies and enemies plot against the very peace of the nation, will Twilight fall prey to the perils of her new position? Or will she prosper and find in Nightmare Moon the mother she never had?

My eternal gratitude to my editor, LordOfTheWrongs, without whom Night's Favoured Child would not be the story it is today.

Now with added TVtropes!

Ever since the Sisterhooves Social, Sweetie Belle and Rarity's relationship has improved drastically. There are still days when Rarity is a bit busy, of course, and certain times when Sweetie doesn't quite get the hint.

During one particularly stressful day, Sweetie Belle gets into Rarity's makeup. Rarity demands an explanation. The answer isn't quite as simple as one sister playing dress-up.

Thanks to my good friend Loopy Legend for the prompt and link to the coverart.

Rated Everyone.

Shamelessly inspired by I Am Legend.

It's been about ten years since Princess Celestia disappeared. Ten years since her disappearance changed Equestria forever. Ten years since nearly everyone became vampires.

But Twilight's not keeping anniversaries. Heck, she can barely remember her own birthday now. But that doesn't matter. She's had more important things to do, such as defending herself from the mindless vampires that attack her every night, and hunting them during the day, where she, as the only one not a vampire, has an advantage. She's killed ponies so often that she regards all the blood as a mild inconvenience. It's just the daily grind.

Or at least, it was until she left Canterlot. Her life there had become unsustainable, and so she took the train that ran through Canterlot to a small town far away on the edge of the Everfree forest- Ponyville.
There, things were different, as she discovered when she collapsed near the edge of the forest. A vampire took care of her, and that was just the start. A sequence of events leads to her making a momentous discovery:

Not all vampires are mindless. The denizens of Ponyville drink blood and sleep during the day, sure, but they're polite, friendly folk who befriend the refugee Twilight. She begins to integrate into the community, and her life seems to be looking up.

Of course, her blood-spattered past will not let her go that easily, and worse than vampires hide in the darkness. Twilight will have one last fight to keep her past from dragging her down and the future from overwhelming her. But she will fight. She has fought since she was a filly. She can win. She can hope.

After all, she is legend.

The Changeling Hive is rigid, its ranks and rules unbending. There is one law that stands above all others; the Hive speaks with one voice.

But two changelings dare to speak with their own voices. They dare to defy the Hive in the most incredible way possible.

They crave freedom. Whatever comes next, live or die, they will do it as free changelings.
