After a terrible storm sweeps through the Everfree, Fluttershy finds the weakened but still powerful King Sombra on her doorstep. Unable to resist his dark magic, she finds herself trapped by a spell that forces her to aid him, protect him, and heal him until he is strong once more, all while keeping his revival a secret from her friends. Unwilling to risk bringing her friends into the situation and endanger them, Fluttershy decides on a riskier tactic

If she could reform Discord, why not the Tyrant of the Crystal Empire. After all, with his spell keeping her from betraying his presence, it might be her only hope. Can she kill the Dark King with Kindness? Or will the ancient sorcerer once more stretch his shadow across Equestria?

Alabaster Star of the Night Watch guard lost his wife a year ago to Diamond Dogs who broke into their home. But not just any Diamond Dogs. These Diamond Dogs claimed to be acting in the name of Nightmare Moon. His wife gone, and Alabaster fresh out of the academy, he is left alone to take care of their only daughter, Moonblaze.

A year passes, and Luna is back, claiming to be on the side of good once again. Alabaster harbors a strong hatred for the Princess of the Night, still blaming her for the death of his wife.

Alabaster doesn't know what to think when the solitary Night Guard routine he was so used to gets flipped upside down in the strangest way.

Rocky is a bad stallion. He's a bully and a brute, but one day he finally crosses the line at a club where good times can be had, for a price.

The price he'll pay for his actions, however, will send his life into turmoil. Left to pick up the pieces, what can he make of himself now?

Note: The first scene (you'll know which one) has some rather... sensitive parts, but that's the extent of it all. The rest of the story covers some adult scenes, so don't show this to the little 'uns.

Comet takes his job too seriously. Angel doesn't take anything seriously.

Comet joined to protect kingdom and princess(es). Angel joined for adventure and danger.

Comet isn't interested in mares. Angel can't stop talking about stallions.

Comet is a pegasus. Angel is a bat pony.

Together, this unlikely duo goes through life as Royal Guards from basic training to fully fledged guardsponies. Who knows? Maybe they'll even start to get along.

When she invites you over to her house to work, however, your initial image of her is shattered. But maybe that's not such a bad thing. In fact, it just might be the most wonderful thing to ever happen to you.

The Friendship Games are over, and the new Twilight has officially joined the group. Sunset and her friends have helped to make Twilight's transition to CHS smoother: Inviting her to band practices, arranging for her to have a lab just like at her old school, and teaching her about the foreign concept of friendship.

Lately, Twilight has been asking Sunset for assistance with some of her experiments. Sunset is more than happy to oblige her new friend, but starts to notice Twilight paying more attention to her than anyone else in their circle.

Were these just experiments… or were they for something else entirely?

Of all the girls at CHS, there's one in particular who's caught your eye. Rarity, the proper, well-spoken, and fabulous fashonista. Her poise and mannerisms are so unique and attractive.
