The past always comes back to haunt the present, there is no escaping the inevitable. For decades, Celestia has kept a secret from her student. A secret she made out of pain, and through pain will be revealed for all to see; for Twilight Sparkle is the secret daughter of the Sun.

Now, there will be consequences.

Consequences, they come in all shapes and sizes for every decision. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. These words are lessons that Princess Celestia should know, bits of wisdom she practices in her rule of Equestria. How is it then, that when faced with a decision, she chooses the one that would inevitably bring the most pain? How is it that she couldn’t bear being recognized as the mother of her child? And why? Twilight Sparkle is about to find out.

This story is a sequel to Princess Celestia's Newest Arch Enemy

After successfully defeating both Princess Celestia and Luna on his first day as super villain, the colt known as Bad Dude sets his sights on much larger projects. Namely, the creation of Equestria's first ever super villain group known as The Coalition of United Terrible Evils. Or C.U.T.E. for short.

But were villains ever truly meant to play nice with one another?

Sunset Shimmer has fallen from grace. After her humiliation at the Fall Formal, she now faces a long road to redemption.

EDIT: Well how about that. Hit the featured box as of January 4th, 2018
EDIT 2: Will wonders never cease? Featured box AGAIN as a February 16th. I'm sensing a theme here.

5000 years ago Celestia and Luna imprisoned another, male, alicorn to keep him from killing himself, his name was Crimson Fang and he held the titles of the God of Fear and the King of Monsters. When their king was imprisoned, vamponies, werewolves, ghouls and many other kinds o Monsters went into hiding and eventually faded into obscurity. Today the ponies of Equestria think that they are just stories. But the Monster King is about to be feed from his stone prison, and both his kingdom and subjects will rise again.

What follows is a tale of love between the newly crowned Princess Twilight Sparkle and the ancient King of Monsters as they fight off the Thirteen Archdemons. Ancient friends and enemies of the Monster King will return, relationships will blossom and secret familial relations will be revealed.

To find out what adventures await these ponies, read on...

Twilight and the other Element Bearers thought that Rainbow's ego was becoming a problem. So they invented a hero to teach Rainbow a lesson. Instead, they learn that the only thing worse than a wounded enemy is a comrade betrayed. Never betray the Element of loyalty.

Pea Gravel isn't from Equestria, she's from another land across the sea, far to the east. Out there, ponies are low, if not the bottom, on the civil food chain. When she escapes to the mythic land of 'The Sun Goddess', she finds what she expected, almost.

When Equestrians ask to hear tales of the world outside it's romanticized fiction: To Pea, it's the cold hard truth.

Naive to this 'Old World', Rainbow Dash and Daring Do follow Pea Gravel both seeking adventure different to Equestrian life; perhaps they will bite off more than they canchew.

Rated Mature for: Language, graphic violence, sexual themes and use of drugs

This story was originally created by Barnside.

Currently being edited and clarified with grammar and storyline fixes.

What if during the Summer Sun Celebration, Twilight didn't meet Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, or Rainbow Dash? What if she met different ponies? And they're all stallions? How would things be different? How much would things stay the same?

This is basically a retelling of MLP but with different characters. Twilight is still here, but the rest of the main six are not present, instead other characters will be taking their place. Alternate Universe pretty much.

The lessons I plan to put into each in one of these chapters (besides the first two) are lessons that I either need to learn myself or lessons I learned the hard way.

Chapter 1

Something is very wrong with Princess Cadance. Everypony close to her knows, except Twilight Sparkle. Something is very wrong with Twilight Sparkle. No pony knows, not even Twilight herself.

One problem lies hidden from the world and the other sits out in the open, invisible.

Something is very wrong.

This is not your traditional shipfic and touches on topics of addiction, recovery and relapse. Additionally, while this was originally written as prompt submissions to the Magic of Love: A Twidance Prompt Collab, they have been expanded upon to give more information.

Belated thanks go out to Misago and Pearple Prose for editing and being all around awesome dudes.
Change Log: Additional Edits have been made to Chapter 1 and 2 so that they feel less "prompty" and are less telly.

This story is a sequel to Graphs

...or Internal Conflict if you don't like math.

Rainbow Dash has been having an awesome time with her clone. Her friends have noticed.

After some well-meaning nagging and manipulating, Rarity has finally convinced Twilight to cast the cloning spell on herself and her friends. With one small alteration, of course. So things are shaping up to be entertaining as our old friends become acquainted with some new friends with varying degrees of success.

Meanwhile, a beast of legend has escaped from his prison. Although his changed nature has delighted one of Equestria's rulers, what he brought with him may become an issue.

And by issue, I mean a peril.

Fun times ahead.

Cover art by this fabulous person.

Alternate Universe tag because we're pretending Discord was never reformed.

Changeling Twilight Sparkle and her number-one assistant, Sunset Shimmer, try to study magic without learning any wholesome lessons of friendship. They fail.
