Three years after she first gained the Element of Magic, Twilight learns that it has a whole lot more in mind for her than being a simple librarian. Twilight falls into a coma to adjust to her new abilities and Celestia follows her to try and help. Unfortunately, while the sun goddess is away, monsters come out to play. An unexpected enemy declares war on Equestria while the princess sleeps. When Twilight awakens to a new world, will she be able to save it with her new powers?

Updates will be highly sporadic. I am going to need a plethora of OCs, so please submit them either as comments or PMs. You will be credited for your suggestions.

The title is a work in progress, as is the description. I may change to mature rating later, depending on the content of future chapters. This is an experimental first pony fic, so we'll see where it goes.

When Diamond Tiara drinks an unusual drink, she grows into a giant and goes around stealing all of Ponyville's stuff. Can the Mane 6 and CMC stop her before she hoards everything?

This fic is unrelated to my previous work.

The war has been over for ten years. The Equestrienne, administered from the planet that gave ponykind its birth, spans hundreds of worlds over thousands of light-years. But peace has come at a cost. Princess Celestia is dead, and her sister, stricken with grief, has been missing since the end of the war. Twilight Sparkle, Equestria's mother of technological innovation, has been forced to take the reins of a nation deep in mourning.

Now the past returns to haunt the present. Can Princess Twilight Sparkle ever hope to fill the gaping hole her mentor left behind?

Please note: Termination Shock shares no continuity with Nectars.

Twilight Sparkle gets into a conversation with Discord, which leads into Discord explaining the formation of the current universe, his own existence, as well as Twilight's new 'true' responsibilities. But some of these things she finds she didn't want to know.

*update* Twilight, finding herself the Spirit of Magic, decides to investigate and get to know the other Spirits, from Triumph, the weakened Spirit of Victory and War, to Harmony, the triplet Spirits of Friendship, to Windigo, the cold spirit of hatred. She also finds herself in a position where she knows more about the universe than Celestia or Luna, and has to decide whether or not to share Discord's knowledge with her mentor and her sister.
