Discord, for a master of chaos, was actually a very good planner. Despite the confidence that he would bring Equestria to its knees in mayhem, several millennia of experience had taught him to have a back-up, no matter what. And after watching from the sidelines as Princess Luna became Nightmare Moon, he knew he had found an ace in the hole. Despite his defeat, Discord's greatest trick was still to come.

You know what this means: Equestria's greatest Nightmare is back. And this time, she's not alone.

Edit: Featured 9-27-2013, first time I've had a featured story. Thanks to everyone who's stuck by this story in spite of admittedly slow updates!

Down on her luck and struggling to find her purpose in life, Derpy is approached by a mysterious stranger who offers her the chance to start anew and achieve her own destiny. Seizing the opportunity, she begins an exciting journey of self-discovery that changes her life forever, making new friends and enemies in the process, and becoming somepony she never thought she could be; a guardian of the night with a penchant for muffins.

"Who are you? Where am I?"
"Am I...dead?"

Rainbow Dash explores the darkest recesses of her soul. Can she handle the truths of her past and her present, or will breaking the walls she has spent a lifetime building be more than she can handle? When one must come to terms with who they are, It can lead to a painful rebirth or an empty death.

Essence of a sunrise: That which is left behind

When a rift tears Princess Twilight Sparkle's relationship with her first Lt. Rainbow Dash,
a war breaks out between Commander Rainbow's rebels and Equestrian forces.
Will Twilight come to the realization of her faults, or will her tyranny continue unto her downfall?
Find out in this brand new fic, "Twilight Gives Way to Dawn".
-not based off of, inspired by, or in any other way affected by the movie, "Red Dawn"-

I don't see what all the fuss about death is. Our princesses have been dodging it for over a thousand years. Who's to say Sweetie and I can't experiment a little? No, don't be ridiculous, zombies don't exist. Not yet, anyway.

It was simple, it was simple flight training, and Fluttershy was already so good at it.

Clear, fly, fall, and recover.
Rainbow Dash knew Fluttershy could do it.

An accident at the Wonderbolt Academy occurs, and many pegasi, including the Wonderbolts, are killed. Rainbow Dash was one of the ponies killed.

Scootaloo, who is distraught over the news of the accident, goes home to find a note from Rainbow Dash herself, proclaiming that she is indeed alive.

Scoots proceeds to give up her life of crusading and finding her cutie mark to find Rainbow Dash, even if she can't fly or doesn't have meaning in her life. She is determined to find her big sis, even if it means giving up every dream she ever had.

Inspired by the works of HP Lovecraft

Rainbow Dash is missing. The last person to see her was Twilight Sparkle, but she can't remember anything of the night she spent with the missing pegasus. But as her memories return, she may learn that certain things are better left forgotten.

And that certain caves are better left unexplored.

After returning home from viewing a meteor shower, Rainbow Dash finds a green rock in her room that makes her violently ill when she touches it. As she and her friends work to find out what exactly happened, she will come to learn more about her past, her family, and her place in Equestrian society.
