[Featured on EQD 21/4/2014] [Now on TVTropes]

When Luna gifts Twilight the town of Ponyville and its surrounding countryside as her demesne she's initially confused. Then, after double checking her dictionary, more than a little concerned.

All her friends are, legally, her possessions. The town that took her in is her plaything, if she so wishes. She has been given responsibility.

Can Twilight's vision for a modern renaissance outrun the harsh realities of the shadowy figures pulling strings behind the scenes, nobles jockeying for her attention, and an irritatingly metaphorical love triangle?

Special thanks to the insatiable Blue_Paladin42, the incorrigible Maskedferret, the intuitive Southpaw and the indestructible newbiedoodle for all their hard work, past, present and future.

King Sombra returns to Equestria and haunts Twilight Sparkle. Will she fall to the king? Or will she defeat him yet again?

If she falls, who is to blame?

Old foes come back and her friends face their own nightmares. All caused by a certain king and his newly found wife.

Must. Resist!

Join me and my husband. We shall rule the night!

You WILL fall to us, dear Twily. You will join us.

The life Twilight has led is a complete lie. At least that's what she falls to believe, but maybe it's true?

She may have a sister, only time will tell. It'll only tell if she'll give in and corrupt the certain unicorn with a purple mane.

We were unable to find the Nightmare Moon image. Sorry!

One thousand years after Celestia banished her sister and crowned herself Empress, six mares are caught up in a swirl of intrigue and disaster. Each of them must decide who and what they stand for, because Luna is returning, and she is not Nightmare Moon.

A clerical error in the Registry of Mortals sends an unwitting human to a strange land. It wouldn't be so bad, if the ponies there weren't out for his blood.

Literally.

A little twist on the myth that unicorns were hunted for their fantastical powers.

Soarin and Spitfire have been best friends for as long as they can remember. With them living their dream of being the best Wonderbolts on the squad, life seems pretty good so far.

Then one night of a little drunken fun changes everything.

Whether it was for better or worse is up to them.

This fic is officially TittySparkles approved.

A spell gone wrong, Twilight, Celestia and Luna have no answer how to get back home to the Equestria that they know.
Instead, they're stuck in a place where things are similar, yet so different.
They're stuck in what Equestria could have been.
And all they have is a book and their memories to help them.

This is my first attempt at a full on chaptered story. So whether it turns out bad or good we'll have to wait and see.
EDIT 15/8/14: This got featured? Holy Celestia and Luna...

It's well known the damage the Cutie Mark Crusaders can cause. But one day, their damage causes a near personal tragedy for Princess Twilight, which in turn causes her, in a rage, to ban Crusades ever again. Now the Cutie Mark Crusaders must find a new way to find their marks. But how can they, when Crusading is all they've known?

This story is a sequel to The Siren Song trilogy. Read the first story here

The age after the war was one of the darkest times for Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, and Sonata Dusk. Ever since their resurrection, they were manipulated into tricking others down a warpath that would only lead to the destruction of all three worlds. They were only freed from their curse by being defeated by The Rainbooms at the Battle of the Bands.

From there, the next seventeen years of The Dazzlings' story had them growing up from scratch, thanks to the power of a song known as the Second Life Song. Throughout this time, they reawakened their true power, fought off monsters from Euphoria and Dystopia, slaughtered the Six Euphorian Deities, and discovered that their brothers had been manipulating everything. From their resurrection, to the attack on Equestria, to the Battle of the Bands, it was all the work of Fortissimo Blast, Allegro Maelstrom, and Orchestral Chill.

A year ago, The Dazzlings, alongside their friends, had defeated the three evil Lyricans, and sent them to rot in the afterlife. From there, they ascended to Lyrican royalty, and became the Lyricans' new ruler; Queen Unity.

However, what they don't know is that an old foe, older than The Blasters, is about to resurface and throw all three worlds into armageddon, mass death and destruction of a nature so horrific that people would shudder whenever his name was even mentioned...

This story is a sequel to Memento Mori

Twilight learned a valuable lesson, long ago. Memento Mori: you too, will die. It was a bitter pill, but she accepted it and her boundless curiosity about the darkest of lores was for a while sated. But when she discovers a curious volume in the bottom of Ponyville library, hidden in the most unsuspecting of places (for after all, who would look in such a sleepy town?) she begins to feel a pull that she is not sure she wishes to resist.

(A sequel of sorts to Momento Mori, featured on EQD.)

Love is a tricky business. Twilight knows this, and the subject has always fascinated her ever since she saw its raw power at her brother's wedding. She is fully prepared to study it in depth... some day. But when Cadance asks her to take part in an experiment that could revolutionize love in Equestria, Twilight realizes that day has come sooner than expected.

If you had a clock that could count down to the moment you meet your soul mate, would you want to know?
