It has been several months since the disappearance of Twilight Sparkle..

One night, after watching her sister raise the Moon and set the heavens alight, Princess Celestia begins to bed down for the night, only to be interrupted by portal forming in her room. From out of the portal comes none other than Twilight Sparkle, garbed in strange armor.

Princess Celestia, along with Luna, Cadence, and Shining Armor, are overjoyed by the Element of Magic's return, but are justifiably curious as to where she had been and what she had been doing. And so, Twilight begins her tale. A tale of survival against impossible odds. A tale of a people fighting for the most basic right of all sentient beings. The right to exist.

After her disappearance three months prior, Rarity finds her way back home. Of course, this raises several important questions. Where was she? What did she do? Why is she wearing bloodstained armour? And who is this "Wanderer" she traveled with?

It had been one year since Twilight Sparkle vanished in the battle against the evil unicorn Xander, and her friends were still trying to overcome the grief of losing her. On the anniversary of her presumed death, her friends gather at her memorial. What was suppose to be a day of remembrance was shattered by a strange metal object that landed right beside them. Their anger quickly turns to shock as a familiar unicorn emerges... and boy does she have a story to tell.

Dusk shine, the beloved student of Prince Solaris, is being kicked out of canterlot till he gets an idea of how to live life outside of books. I personally don't give a sh!t. This is a story of how one night can change even the worst of enemies into the closest ponies on equis. ENJOY OR PERISH BEFORE THE MIGHT OF- GAK!

bug me when you want a chapter posted, i will try to keep a regular every mon-wed-fri schedule going so.. bug me when you want to hear more.

The Unexpected Love Life Of Dusk Shine and Darkly Dreaming Dexter.

Dusk Shine did not become Celestia's personal student, he did embedded himself into the chaos and a haunted mind of a stallion damaged beyond repair. While chaos rules his brain he has a solution; The Checklist.

The Element of Magic split into two, causing Dusk Shine to be the unwanted hero of Ponyville. They wouldn't praise him for his other work, however. Not even his brother would condone his other work.

They involve a lot of steps, all in order.

So this is my 1st fanfiction.
It is summer. And Dusk Shine has a very good idea about going to the Tenerife Island. So 12 ponies will go there and have some fun. They will be here for 3 weeks. Adventure, comedy and romance. Will they be glad about their trip? Or will they hate it?

Rewritten with permission from Probable Sarcasm, who confirmed to me that he will no longer continue writing stories. This is an unofficial spin-off rewrite of the fanfiction of the fanfiction, please support the official story's release.

Dusk Shine was born a mare.
Actually, this is a lot more complicated than it was before so let me be careful with my wording here.
Dusk Shine was born a mare; one of the rare, non-royal blooded alicorns that doesn't go out and completely expresses herself like a normal pony would.
This unofficial, rewrite of the spin-off follows the brilliantly smart-mouthed Twilight Sparkle: an antisocial, awkward, non-royal alicorn, unromantic bookworm, and (unbeknownst to her,) a ten on a scale hottie.
All Twilight Sparkle wanted to do was read, relax, and prepare for the never ending apocalypse as the never ending night that Night-Terror Knight will bring.
Much like any character you'd enjoy in King of Thrones, Twilight Sparkle's wishes are killed off when she is forced to leave her home in Canterlot because Prince Solaris sold her home in a game of Texas Hold-Em. Now she must live in a smaller town, named Ponyville, to watch over the Summer Sun Celebration and to make friends.
Unfortunately for her, each of the stallions she was instructed to be acquainted (and everyone else) with ends up falling head over hooves for the new librarian in town with the Canterlis accent.
Is this some sick joke or is Twilight Sparkle really supposed to make friends when everyone in Ponyville keeps fighting for her favor?
(Now with 100% less clop scenes!)

I was inspired to do this and I would hate to be red-bombed because I'm just a nerd who writes mediocre fics okay I'm stopping now

Dusk Shine was born a mare, actually, just a very selective mare that doesn't go out and completely expresses herself like a normal pony would.
This unofficial spin-off follows the brilliantly smart-mouthed Twilight Sparkle: an antisocial, awkward, unromantic bookworm who wants nothing more but to keep to herself and read.
However, that dream is pretty much like every character you're going to enjoy in this story because it was killed off when Twilight Sparkle is forced to leave her home in Canterlot and live in a smaller town named Ponyville to watch over the Summer Sun Celebration and to make friends.

How exactly is Twilight Sparkle supposed to make friends when everyone in Ponyville developes a crush on her?

After being dragged into a Pinkie Pie party, gathering the Elements of Harmony, and facing off against Nightmare Moon, Twilight Sparkle just wants a good nights sleep. Unfortunately for her, she lives in Ponyville, and somepony just crashed into her bedroom. Somepony that looks unusually like her... albeit more stallion-ish.

This stallion, Dusk Shine, claims to be an older version of Twilight, from an alternate universe. How come he's so different? Twilight never graduated from Princess Celestia's tutorage or learned to play the guitar, or... befriended her monstrous, demonic self?
