King Sombra, the tyrant of Crystal Empire is back, only to be imprisoned by princesses and put through reformation with Twilight Sparkle as his teacher. Can somepony with heart as black as night be reformed? Twilight believes so. Sombra in other hoof isn't so sure but something in that mare makes him try.

This is going to be one of my longest stories this far. Marked Teen for sexual innuendo and slightly gory-ish scenes. Nothing too bad though. Also this will not be a story that deserves a dark marking.

For now I'd like to thank Alun Aleriksson, pony of change, Microshazm and Sidetrack for helping with the grammar and overall writing in general. Thank you so much.

When the malevolent spirit of King Sombra forces a colt from his body before he's even born, his ghost must find a way to cope with his strange new life.

Approved by Twilight's Library!

After getting blasted by a wave of happiness, Sombra wakes up months later with a completely different personality and is forced to live with the memories of what he did and what he was. However, with a little patience, and a lot of help, maybe he can change that, and become something a bit better.

Fun Fact: This is the first story (and currently one of only three) on this website tagged with Redheart and Sombra.

Braeburn's life is turned upside down when a medical emergency lands him in the hospital. Facing down death, Braeburn is left to question his choices in life. But when that life is saved by an anonymous donor, Braeburn is too afraid of those around him to take the risks he had always wanted to take. Soon, a series of dreams will lead him down a road of life, love and death and as it draws to a close, will Braeburn still be too afraid of the love that exists in his own crystal heart.

Before the madness took him Sombra cared for one being. One being in his life drew every bit of his attention. And as mortals do, that one creature died. But Sombra, obsessed with this innocent being, found a way to bring him back for good. Or so he thought, but mortality is the one undeniable truth for any mortal being.

In her research, Twilight Sparkle comes across some lost and hidden archives from the Crystal Empire. She starts sharing them with Princess Celestia and they both dive into the past of the Empire. including Sombra's role and the missing Crystal Princess.

Not everyone is born evil. Evil is something that is created and matured over time. You have all heard the legend of Sombra, the evil unicorn king, correct? You all know what he had done to the crystal empire? He had cast a shadow over the entire city, hiding it in the darkness for thousands of years. However, this brings to question, where did he get that power though? No living pony could ever acquire such power.

A collaboration between myself and the amazing TheExhaustedBrony. Seriously. This guy is awesome; please go check him out and let him know if you like it. This is my sixth story written as a part of the One-shotober challenge.

Darkness can eat away at one's soul; darkness and fear was all he knew for a thousand years. A brutal, near death, defeat has weakened this once nigh invincible Stallion of Darkness. It is now up to the least likely of heroes to unknowingly cure the pain and loss of his soul; hopefully he can regain it and light the fires in his long cold heart.

Thank you to Viral Acorn for providing the cover art. A screw up in the commission though is her being an alicorn, because she is not in the story.

Following his tumultuous defeat, King Sombra is flung across space and time to exit out a human's malfunctioning toaster. For weeks, Sombra monologues his revenge to destroy those that hurt him. But seven months later, when a route back to Equestria is found, does he not seem all that interested in returning.
