Upon drinking an unusual Skizze Flower beverage, Twilight notices accelerated growth on her horn. This, of course, is quite awkward for the Alicorn princess as she runs around trying to find help and ways to fix this complication.

She really should have thought this through.

Whenever Twilight no longer has a use for something, she often teleports it away without thinking of a destination. This results in the item being lost forever. But where do these objects actually go? Twilight resolves to find the answer to this question and discovers a strange room disconnected from the rest of Equestria where various objects have been banished to throughout the ages. Some of them were banished for a good reason, such as the tome on necromancy. And it turns out that the skeleton of a pony that she found isn't quite as dead as she thought, and now has access to a portal into the rest of Equestria. But is the necromancy practicing pony truly so evil?

Twilight Sparkle, prized student of Princess Celestia, has always been very good at magic. Too good.

This is the story of how she solves every problem all by herself, because she is the best pony and my favorite.

Ponies say that if you wait at a crossroads with darkness in your heart, you can trade your soul away for power.

Trixie thinks this sounds like a good deal. Surely her soul is worth much more than the average one. Certainly enough to afford revenge against that life-ruining Twilight Sparkle.

But maybe exchange rates for souls are not as favorable as she expected.

Rainbow Dash has made a trade in which she receives a Daring Do book if Fluttershy leaves Ponyville to train an orthos. She has come up with a way to carry out the trade and keep everypony happy. But her plan has an unforeseen problem.

Twilight Sparkle has accidently sent Rainbow Dash to the past and now Rainbow lacks the means to power the time machine that she came in enough to return to her own time. Fortunately, her friends are still there to help her find a way to return to the present, even if they aren't exactly the same friends that she left behind.

Obviously inspired by Back to the Future, but the plot of this story is only loosely based on that of the movie.

This, this is why I spend so much time in the archives, Twilight thought, holding a dusty old book close in her magic. Inside the book were a number of advanced spells, each one more interesting than the last in some sort of circular logic that Twilight could only assume went to infinity

Twilight galloped through the doors to her tower and leaped onto her favorite reading pillow on the balcony. She opened the book to the table of contents.

Oh my gosh! They’re all so interesting! Ooh, an age spell! That…might be a bit beyond me. But here right below it – a duplication spell!
