You are a Royal Day Guard. You are surprised one day to be approached by the Princess of the Night, who asks you to appear at her chambers that evening to perform an unknown task...

Written because I needed Luna cuddles.

An infiltration attempt goes from ‘wildly successful’ to 'weird and confusing' in record time.

Thanks to Tired Old Man for edits, suggestions, and helping with the title. Also thanks to Nova Quill for her edits and suggestions.

Service to Canterlot comes first though that's not what Royal Guard Captain Flint Fixer has on his mind. It's a lonely life just keeping watch over the castle, until a young mare makes things more interesting for him.

The Princesses have a tradition, one grounded in selflessness and goodwill, and this year, it's Luna's turn to carry it out.

Unfortunately, she'd rather be sleeping.

Written for the Jinglemas Secret Santa exchange.

The night that Cadance discovered the ghost of King Sombra lurking in the Crystal Palace should have been the worst of her life. Her greatest enemy is now lingering in her own home... and she knows that she's going to get to the bottom of this.

There hasn't been anything going on in the palace for a long time, and the tyrant's ghost will only prove to be a problem... won't it?

This story is a sequel to Divine Move

Gods cannot die, so what happened so long ago that ended in the total collapse of Pre-Equestrian civilization?

After many years of unspoken tension mixed with isolated peace, those that remained have received the cryptic message many never wished to see. When such events unfold, Princess Luna recalls a desire she thought she had all but buried and leaves Equestria without a word, only to be followed by the enigmatic and arrogant Sombra.

Now Luna and Sombra – whose ways have remained undecipherable to every princess so far – try to use what knowledge they have to save the world and themselves.

Book Five and Final Book of Sombra's Odyssey. The cover art is fan art drawn by dragonofruin with edits that were done by me. Beware of the numerous unmarked spoilers in the comments! With some help from: NorrisThePony and an anonymous user. The gore and violence tags are for descriptive injuries in the scenes featuring combat, which is only a small portion of the story. The original version was rated Pretty Good in this extremely spoiler-heavy review by PaulAsaran! Contribute to the TVTropes page!

After an accidental summoning and possibly a mental break-down while flying to his vacation, Michael Schmidt is in Equestria as the second coming of Nightmare Moon.

Sorta.

Michael's a bit busy trying to put his memories together about Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria to be concerned about waging eternal night but Nightmare Moon is quite willing to help the process begin in her special way.

Unfortunately for her, Michael is vulnerable to one specific Equestrian pastime: snuggling.

Rated T for gore imagery and psychological torture. Also casual swearing and smoking!

In the alternate timeline where Sombra was not stopped, a human finds himself suddenly in Sombra's body... just after the dread tyrant has conquered Equestria. Now trapped in a world where just about everyone hates him, he must try to keep up the illusion that he is the villainous conqueror, while at the same time try to win over his new subjects.

However, this will not be so simple, as the real Sombra is not quite dead... and he is most definitely not happy.

Part of The Ocean Of Time series.

There's a bug under my bed. Or at least I think it's a bug.

It says it needs to stay under there to hide.

I just hope it leaves soon. And doesn't eat me before then.

Long ago, before Luna became the creature know as Nightmare Moon, and before Sombra and Discord were problems, her and Sombra were friends. Maybe more that that, actually. They were researching ancient alicorn magic, and some of it corrupted Sombra. Yet he and Luna still liked each other, and searched frantically for a cure.

But not every illness can be cured, and not everypony can be saved.

Also, it has sad elements, but there's more funny.
