This story is a sequel to Canterlot Has Fallen

Time marches forward in Equestria, and yet the allure of "what if?" remains. Twilight wonders about the "what ifs" as she tries to guide Equestria to a bright and prosperous future. Cadance wonders about the "what ifs" as she sees her daughter growing.

The power of "what if" tempts once again, but are the little ponies really ready for the answers?

Celebrating the 10 year anniversary of Past Sins! Thank you all so much for letting me and my stories be part of the community!

This story is a sequel to Glimpses

It was supposed to be a simple day for Shining Armor. Take his daughter, Flurry Heart, and niece, Nyx, out to run some errands while his sister and wife handle preparations surrounding the Festival of Friendship. It was supposed to be a day of fun, relaxing activity. Yet, after the arrival of an invading army, the day would be anything but pleasant.

Can Shining rally the defenders of Canterlot to oppose Commander Tempest, if only to ensure he, Flurry Heart, and Nyx can escape? Or are they doomed to be captured and possibly turned to stone? 

No matter what happens, it’s a day neither Shining Armor nor Tempest Shadow will ever forget.

=====================================================================

This story is a sequel to Past Sins

When pursuing Starlight, Twilight and Spike experienced variances of Equestria, and saw how the river of time could have been different. Now, Starlight has moved in with Twilight, Nyx, and Spike and has begun her studies in friendship. To thank those who have helped her embrace friendship once more, Starlight has created an enchantment that allows the castle’s map table to let anyone glimpse other variances of reality.

The power to ask “what if,” can be a source of great amusement… but for some, the hypotheticals are haunting reminders of what could have been.

This story is a sequel to Tears in the Snow

Four years since the long night, Nyx, now at the age of nine has been hearing voices calling her name at night, a looming shadow from her armor, a sense of dread hanging over her like a dark cloud. Nyx could feel the magic in her horn pulsating with a new aura, merging and fighting for control.

Suddenly afraid of darkness and of the presence that plagues her at night, the laughter of a specter that seemed to take pleasure in her torment, devours her dreams and fears. The mirrors themselves show a different face, and her friends have no way to help her.

Unwilling to bring this to Twilight, Nyx must battle with Equestria's darkest evil if she is to remain who she is, when two souls clash there can be only one to inherit the body, and Nyx is not ready to give herself up to Nightmare Moon.

Originally a midequal to Into the Beginning: The Life of Writing Glory with a different story completed before hand. This is the second version of this story, changed to fit the Tears in the Snow canon. This story was started on the 11th of October 2013.

It has been a year since Nyx was adopted by Twilight. They and their friends are having a nice time when all of a sudden, they found themselves preoccupied with an unlikely friend.

Nyx was made by Penstroke from the story "Past Sins." Please give credit where and to whom it is due.

Autumn Mist is not your average twelve-year-old unicorn. She has recently been accepted into the most advanced magic school in Equestria, located in Littlehorn Valley.

Misty's thoughts are on an Equestrian hero this day. She shares with her friends her own hopes and dreams of one day being just like her idol. As doubt creeps into her mind, Misty must reconsider her concept of what being a hero truly means.

When tragedy strikes at the school, how will this affect Misty’s view of her heroine? Is a pony still a hero even if they can’t be there to save everyone?

The Chronicles Of Nyx Sparkle Season 1 Christmas Special

As told by the Black Alicorn Herself, to her Family in the Future.

It is Nightmare Night, the perfect night for Nyx to plot her revenge for all the horrible things that Diamond Tiara has put her through! And how is she going to achieve her sweet, delicious vengence?

Well, you know what they say - love is better than violence. (Nobody says that.)

Will her plans succeed? Or will they backfire in the most unexpected of ways?

Nightmare Moon.
True Queen of Equestria. Ruler of an eternal night.
But once upon a time Nightmare Moon had been Nyx. A small filly, who was loved by Twilight Sparkle and the Cutiemark Cursaders. That filly is still in here. And due to it Nightmare lies in conflict with herself.

AN: This monologue is a tribute to Pen Stroke's awesome story Past Sins, where Nyx is the main character.
