The Mane Seven are on a mission to spread friendship across Equestria. It sounds easy enough, but should they let their guard down?

Twilight is confident that she can cope with any situation. Maybe she’s right and there really is nothing to worry about... Maybe.

Here's what the readers are saying about it:

Dude whoa.... That was powerful. It kinda reminds me of “If you love something” let it go. The type of pony that Twilight is I could imagine that losing her friends would make her go insane, and I know she'd do anything to still be with them. Great story. Mad I didn't hear about it until now. ~ Man on the Moon

Princess of Friendship by Bad Dragon is a great piece of work. ~ Stinium_Ruide

If Twilight can't find a way to save her friends, she'll make a way. And that works out about as well as one would think. ~ FanOfMostEverything

I hope Twilight can let go... eventually. ~ StormyVenture

I liked this story. It was heartbreaking, a bit confusing (in a good way), and overall enjoyable. ~ Heart Felt

it had the nerve to make me experience something you twats call “the feels,” but a nice enthusiastic walk in the woods solved that problem. ~ DR_LaZer

made me cry… ~ deli73

I cried. I didn't shed one tear, but a thousand. ~ Crystal_Chaos

Great story, definitely deserves the tragedy tag. ~ MustacheMerlin

This story really does earn it's tag as it presents a situation that cannot be won and that has no positive outcome, which is part of tragedy in it's strictest sense. ~ HapHazred

Brilliant. Both her plan and the story. ~ Unbridled Dolly

I love it when a story comes together--and I say that this one did, at least for philosophical egghead dorks. ~ Mahayro

I love the entire premise and the ending was perfect. ~ Curify - ChasingVerse

Every time Twilight Sparkle tries to read something, headaches come. Cringes worthy of speaking twist her mind. They are an absolute torture for her because she can't do anything against them. She can't study, she can't read and worst of all, she can't prepare for anything princess Celestia will be throwing at her.

Spike is having more than enough of it all and makes the wise decision to call in help from the outside. But the problem is, that there are only rumors of something called 'a shattering of minds'. Though one mind in the land, knows exactly what it is. Twilight's mentor, princess Celestia of Equestria.

Is the unicorn able to save herself, or is her knowledge her too dear?

==============================================================================
I am having no idea how this idea came to a stand, but it was something sitting for quite the long time in my 'work in progress' folder while it was done for so long.

Twilight has more than a few fears about her new position as a princess, but she has little time to dwell on them. A strange scroll has shown up and the writing within indicates that a "return" of "love feeding" creatures is soon to occur. Fearful of a repeat of the battle with the changlings over Canterlot, Celestia sends Twilight and her friends off to investigate this information in the far east. But the task soon proves to be far more complicated than Twilight first thought as the information they find begins to reveal that changlings may not be at all what they seem.

Note: I will be making slight connections to my one shot Wouldn't It be Wonderful? but this should be quite readable on its own as well. ^^

In a desperate attempt to alter the course of history and save Equestria from extinction, the Alicorns send Twilight Sparkle far back in time to a magical world that once existed, where she, with the help of Megan Williams, must prevent the wake of an unstoppable enemy. G1/FiM crossover, based on the X-Men movie and comics storyline 'Days of Future Past'.

Locating an artifact buried deep underneath one of the ancient places of study. An artifact is discovered. Though unlike many of his other artifacts there are no legends about it, there are no words or even vague writings save for one small message that they believe was written in blood found with the obsidian mirror
"some powers are not worth studying"
The only piece of the page able to be read. Naturally Starswirl the bearded's biggest fan nearly abuses her authority to be able to be first to study the artifact and of course gets sucked into the mirror to find a land filled with strife and danger. A land that the powers of friendship are not very well able to help anything with. Join the princess of friendship as she grows up, learning real lessons of honor, duty, and more mature lessons of life and the cost of ruling a nation. Will she triumph over her trails or fall victim to the many MANY dangers of Nirn.

Twilight didn't know what came over her. At one point, she was having a wonderful tea party with her friends, and the next thing she knew, she was trying to kill the princesses.
This could have something to do with the fact that nopony would listen to her at her brother's wedding, everypony thinking she is crazy, or even the fact that Discord was set free without anypony noticing.
She finds herself at Celestia's court, facing crimes she didn't commit.
"Twilight Sparkle, for stealing the Elements of Harmony, attempting to kill me and Princess Luna, and Betraying everything you were supposed to protect, you are hereby banished from Equestria, never to return!"
Celestia's words continued to ring in her ears as she followed the road out of Equestria. She would never see her friends again.

My entry to The Exiled Competition

Cover art can be found here. It was made by StarlightSpark on DeviantArt.

Rainbow Dash is not a happy pony. She just finished organizing this awesome storm, and then she finds out that Applejack and Rarity had the nerve to use it to have a slumber party with Twilight. And they didn't invite her! She's determined to get herself invited to a slumber party with Twilight, whether AJ and Rarity want her to or not!

(A bit of silliness written for the TwiDash group's "After The Storm" competition!)

Twilight's still getting used to her new wings. She feels the need to ask somepony for flying lessons. And who better to ask than Fluttershy? If you ask Fluttershy, there's plenty of better ponies to ask.

Written for One-Shotober.

Princess Stupid Jerk McButt is a big dumb princess who has social events with only a very small group of ponies and refuses to invite her new friend to them even though her new friend is very nice and apologized for the time she enslaved the town. No one likes her because of this, except her other dumb friends, and her one not-as-dumb friend.

I've been told to thank Too Manestream for the cover picture. Whatever that means.

One very stormy night at midnight, Twilight gets an unexpected visitor with a dark past. She enrolls the filly into school and watches her, but the filly never tells her the past that she had severed till one day....
