Death is the end of everything. Unless you're Pinkie Pie. In which case, Death will do anything to keep you from dying, so he doesn't have to deal with you. Ever.

Unfortunately, it's never that simple.

Oh, hello there. First comedy one-shot in ages that is quite original. At least, I hope.

Do what you will, I think it was a great idea.

Oh, and you see the cover art? Yeah, I did that in about a minute. Pretty good, if I do say so myself.

Two decades after the banishment of Nightmare Moon, her shadow still lingers. Princess Celestia has been left to tend the Twin Thrones alone and protect us all from those who would see Equestria crumble. Our enemies take many forms: some would tear the world down with their claws, others with their smiles. They are monsters all the same.

I have had many names, and I have been many things. Today I am Swift Sweep, and I work for the Equestrian Bureau for State Security.

This story is a sequel to A Different Perspective

Both the House of Path and Herd Path enjoy strong growth in the years following their establishment. Like all such things though, they both have their highlights and lowlights. These are vignettes in the lives of the children of Twilight, Path, Free, & Roseclaw, from foals to young adults.

This is a series of stand-alone stories of events that occur after the events of A Different Perspective, which I strongly recommend that you read first.
My collaborator, AlaskaIsCold, has written some of these and I mostly just edited them.

Long Path, an earth pony living in Canterlot, and his best friend, a griffon named Free Agent, set out in the company of Twilight Sparkle to visit various places and species to look into what makes them different, and hopefully learn how to get along with them better. Things rarely go to plan though, and along the way, they discover things about themselves, and find love, drama, and laughter. Then Chrysalis changes everything, and the fate of the whole world might be at stake. Their lives will never be the same!

This story is set mostly after the events of Conversations in a Canterlot Cafe and builds on the fanon of the series, especially changelings, so you might want to read those stories first for background material.

My name is Twilight Sparkle, and 350 years ago, Sweetie Belle and I vanished without a trace.
Now here we are, in the future.
Equestria has become a utopia, with everypony living in peace and harmony.
Everything is perfect. All a pony could ever want, and more.
My name is Twilight Sparkle, and I want to go home.

Spanish translation by Spaniard Kiwi

Mathew Reese was just your average guy. He lived in a small town with his adoptive father, had a circle of friends, loved the natural beauty of the world, and had just started to take his first steps into becoming an independent.

All of that changed the day that two powerful beings combined their magic to seal away a great evil. Now Mathew is trapped on Equus as the sole human the lands have ever encountered. Everything he’s ever known has become null and void as he tries to make sense of his new life.

Follow Mathew on his journey for answers through the land of Equestria and learn the truth behind one of its most notorious evils… Nightmare Moon.

This story now has a sequel. Continue this exciting tale in Shadows Within the Heart!

Shadows Within the Light was my very first fic. Expect a degree of amateur writing. I have put this story on my list to rework it at a later date so that I can take what I've learned to make this story better. Until then, I hope you enjoy my little tale because it has been said that it's a hidden gem.

Be sure to leave constructive criticism as well. I welcome it and it will help me to improve.

One day, just like that, Celestia decides she's going to go mad with power.

As seen on EQD and the Royal Canterlot Library.

Ruling a nation on the brink of collapse is a stressful job, and nopony knows that better than Princess Platinum. With the pressure of a starving kingdom and fraying relationships with the Pegasus tribes, she has little option other than to seek the advice of her best friend and, perhaps, to take the first step to save everypony.

Princess Big Macintosh saves Equestria.

This comes as a surprise to Princess Celestia, who wasn't aware Equestria needed saving, actually.

A less-than-imposing sovereign.

With an age-old threat poised to devastate Equestria, the Princesses gather to use a spell left behind by the great Star Swirl the Bearded in order to ensure their victory.

Now all four have become an entirely new being, with her own thoughts and feelings. And in order for the Princesses to return, she will have to die.
