In the wake of a great tragedy, Celestia opens up, and, for the first time, tells her own story. For the first time, she tells what happened with Discord and King Sombra. And, for the first time, she tells what it's like to have to give up everything she's ever had, everything she's ever wanted, everything she's ever dreamed of--all of it, for the good of Equestria.

Please note: this is an "AU-ish" fic--that is, it sticks to canon in most respects, except when it doesn't.

Unfortunately, not planning on continuing this story arc [Blog Post]. I hope you enjoy it nevertheless!

Rated Teen for mild language.

We all know of how Princess Luna fell victim to Nightmare Moon's influence. We all know of how she returned and how she was saved by the powers of the Elements of Harmony, and how her sister Celestia was overjoyed that after a thousand years her sister had finally returned to her. The question is though, why did Celestia allow her beloved sister to be forgotten by her subjects?

This is the version of the story where that never happened. This is the story where in her grief, Celestia never let her ponies forget the princess they drove to darkness with their and her own neglect. Where she made sure that everypony remembered the day that they lost their guardian of the night. How would the story have panned out with this setup?

(This story is actually inspired by the story The Return of Princess Nightmare Moon by Aegis Shield. This is by no means a copy though. The story just got me thinking about the fact that Celestia really did in a way let ponies forget their was ever a Princess of the Night or that she was her sister. Hope you all enjoy.)

A flip of a coin. A twist of fate.

Twilight Sparkle, younger sister of Princess Celestia's personal student, Shining Armor, grew up listening to her brother's bygone dreams of joining the elite of the elite: The Royal Guard.

Now, fresh out of the Academy, this young mare is ready to prove herself equal to the deeds of the great soldiers she read about as a filly. Too bad the princess she ends up protecting isn't Celestia.

[Complete! With TVTropes apparently!]
Also, apparently, an animated trailer.

In a world of brass and steam, Twilight Sparkle had thought she had made a life-changing discovery with the invention of the telescope. For better or worse, she was correct.

Now her discovery has not only changed her life, but the lives of those she seeks out in her desperate attempt to contact the only other creature as lonely as Twilight herself.

It all would have been much simpler, but it had to be the one Twilight could only call The Mare on the Moon.

Decidedly not within walking distance, then.

Somepony is sabotaging Moondancer's research project.

Twilight Sparkle suspects Starlight Glimmer may be responsible. She enlists the Canterlot Royal Guard to protect Moondancer, and offers to help with her research.

Soon, however, the two ponies discover an unexpected side effect of Moondancer's research: one with dangerous consequences for all of Equestria—and possibly even their friendship.

Inspired by The Writeoff Association's "Out of Time" contest.

After the defeat of Discord Princess Celestia and Luna took the throne, fifty years later Luna is tired of ponies fearing her night and praising the day. Thus she begins an epic adventure to make the night safer for her subjects. While on this mission her strength will be tested by enemy and friend alike and the ponies that rally to her side will either have to save her or watch their princess fall to darkness.

Just when Twilight had given up hope on passing the entrance exam to the princess's school, a frightening explosion sent her magic out of control. Everything was light and pain, and then it was black. When her eyes opened back up, she found herself in an unfamiliar field, surrounded by strange sounds, smells and creatures.

But unbeknownst to Twilight, her immediate dangers are not her greatest. As the fires of an ancient war are slowly rekindled, what fate will befall Twilight as she tries to find her way home? Will she make it back safely? Or will she be captured by the dominant species, forced like so many other creatures to fight in battles that were never meant to be hers?

A word about the Dark tag: While some details will be softened or omitted, this story does take a more realistic approach to the Pokemon universe. Creatures need to eat, even predators. Wounds and status effects linger until healed by time or outside influence. And being knocked unconscious may not be the only result of a battle.

This story is a sequel to Deal for a Life

Luna's silence has finalley reached its limit. Her own subjects adore her sister and her day, while they ignore her beautiful night. After realizing that nopony will ever adore or respect her by Celestia's side, Luna agreed to a horrible deal. She sold her body to a dark force in exchange for all her dreams to come true. And the time to fullfill this deal has arrived. As Luna creates an eclipse and challenges her sister's authority, the things turn out for the worst....for her.

AN: I know, this scene must have been written to death and I am sorry to put you all through it once again. But because I am planning to make a Three-Oneshot-series, this oneshot has to take place or my next oneshot won't make sense.

After the events of "Crusaders Of The Lost Mark" Diamond Tiara becomes friendlier and finally accepts the CMC as her friends. All is well for her...except for the fact that her mother is beating her on the down low and her dad doesn't even care. Before, they just were vocally abusive, but her mother is now physically abusive and her dad is negligent. During one of these beatings, Diamond Tiara gets hoofed in the face and the CMC, Silver Spoon, and everypony else notices.

What happens then? Does Diamond Tiara get justice, or will fate punish her for her wrong doings?

It started when they first met. A growing flame that began to burn in their hearts. It was unknown to them what this flame was, but it grew stronger as they got older and their feelings moved on from friendship to something else. Some fires grow slowly, but when given time they burn more passionate and brighter then any volcano.

Just a small series of chapters (no less then a thousand words) of a new ship I like a lot.

Now with a TV Tropes Page
