It's time once again for Nightmare Night and the citizens of Ponyville are ready for another night of candy, costumes, ghost stories, and more. After Twilight Sparkle taught her the true meaning of Nightmare Night one year prior, Princess Luna takes the day off from her royal duties and joins in the festivities. But when Ponyville suddenly comes under attack by a mysterious force, Luna is discovered missing in the aftermath. What's more, this force is being commanded by a malicious creature wielding a terrible power that the ponies have actually heard of, but know nothing about.

Once again, Twilight and her friends must take up the Elements of Harmony in defense of everything they hold dear, but if Equestria is to have any real hope of surviving against this force, the ponies must first unravel the mysteries of the power that threatens them.

The time-stamp for Act 1 - The First Adventure is wrong. I revised it and re-released it on 3/1/15.

Applebloom learns a new word from Granny Smith. All is well until Sweetie Belle learns it is a slur against Unicorns. Sweetie Belle calls Applebloom a slur of her own. Violence ensues. Can the Cutiemark Crusaders' friendship survive the cruelty of hate speech?

After Bloom & Gloom, Apple Bloom finds that her shadow now talks to her in the waking world, too, and retains the power to make things go away. It only wants to help her.

A student of Twilight Sparkle knows dangerous magic when she sees it. And yet it is hers, unwilling to do anything truly bad without her command.

This secret can not keep forever. Given its host, it will not even keep long. What will those around her think when they learn of her power?

This is a Kingdoms Of Amalur crossover.

When the Fateless One is thrown into Equestria with nary a clue as to how he got there in the first place, he has to find what happened, and sets out to do so.

Equestria doesn't like dealing with things violently and murder is nonexistent, the Fateless One lives, thrives and requires violence to survive and earn his keep.

He needs to get back... or does he? will he want (or be convinced) to stay and learn the values of friendship and can he even make friends with these ponies? only time will tell... and the Fateless One has eternity to wait... do you?

(credit to NyxKnight for image & wIll contain romance between human and pony and possible clop in future chapters, they will be marked)

I, the narrator, shall give the audience a short walk through changeling execution and small histories.

In which a revolution begins. And it is surprisingly bloodless. How does that work?

Otakuism and shipping and ADHD.

An alternate ending to "Keep Calm and Flutter On". What would happen if Discord decided to stop fooling around and just get rid of the only things standing between him and his wonderful world of chaos? Oneshot.

Chaos, from the Warhammer universe, extends its corrupting power into the land of Equestria, taking countless ponies into its service. Civil war begins between the princess loyalists and Chaos worshipers. Twilight must navigate the new war and try to leave it alive.

With the statue rebuilt, Spike's problems in Canterlot were surely over. All those words of wisdom he had doled out at the delegates couldn't have possibly caused any harm, could they?

The flash mob on the streets of Canterlot sure seems to like him.

Married to her rival turned lover, Twilight Sparkle's life is pretty great. A year ago she was kidnapped from her home, by a vengeful and angry Trixie, and now they live together in harmony.

Or So Twilight thinks.

It's always darkest right before dawn, and Twilight is about to learn some of the harshest lessons she'll ever encounter.

While being unwillingly subjected to a high culture Applejack finds herself meeting the acquaintance of a pony whose company she never would have expected to enjoy. Things spiral from there.
