This story is a sequel to Pound and Pumpkin Tales 1

Pound and Pumpkin had quite a year with their six year old selves, dealing with bullies, fearing storms, running away from home, solving friendship problems, and making friends. What awaits them in their seventh year?

Long ago, before the fall of Princess Luna, before the rule of Discord, there existed another race of pony; The lamia, or snake ponies, feared by all of pony kind as mighty hunters and predators. When the Two Sisters rose to power, no longer able to stand by and watch as the lamia preyed on their subjects, they decided to put an end to the lamia’s reign of terror. Leading their army straight into the capital of the lamia they slew their leader, along with any lamia they encountered along the way.

Using a shapeshifting ability gifted to them by an ancient relic, the scattered remnants of the lamia managed to stay hidden for over a millennium. In the rare case that one of their kin was discovered, they were hunted down and persecuted without so much as a trial. Adapting to the lifestyle of the ponies, the lamia live in constant fear of one day having their true identity discovered.

Tired of living in constant fear, of hiding from her neighbors, and not caring about the consequences of being caught, one lamia decides to leave home and move to a friendly little town in the center of Equestria. Little does she know that something as small as moving to another town could set off a chain of events that will change relations between the lamia and the ponies forever...

The prologue contains some dark themes, as well as a bit of gore, however, that is the only chapter that contains them.

This story is a sequel to Nightmares Are Tragic

After the final fight against Nightmare Moon, Princess Luna has regained her identity and sanity. But she is still weak, scarred by her suffering, and -- save for her sister -- mostly alone in a strange new Equestria, a world which in some ways resembles the old Age of Wonders, and in other ways is very different.

Can she recover her strength, make friends, and resume her rightful role as Celestia's co-ruler? And can she do this fast enough to save the kingdom?

Now with its own TVTropes page!

For the Shadows which claimed her before are still extant, and stretching their malign powers forth to consume the light of Celestia's bright new world ...

Princess Luna has a journal! She writes about her daily life in it!

This is a sister story to Son of the Moon, it is imperative you read that first, however this story does not need to be read to understand Son of the Moon.

A different take on alicorn ascension. Sixteen years after arriving in Ponyville, Twilight Sparkle is excited to have invented a brand-new kind of spell, but it will come with consequences she cannot possibly anticipate. Meanwhile, threats in shadows around the world conspire to overthrow the Solar Throne. With her world turned upside down, she will have to come to terms with the role that fate has dealt her while straining to keep Celestia in power.

(Please Note: This story was started before any season three information was available. All episodes in season three and later are non-canon for this story, which also means there's no Crystal Empire in this one. In addition, the promotional map released close to the beginning of season three was also not available and is not compatible with this story. While the OC tag is active because there are OCs in the story, they're really just supporting characters. The focus is on Twilight.)

Also be sure to check out the Rites of Ascension Expanded Universe Group! We're working to develop the resources needed for other authors to try their hand at writing stories set in the Rites Universe!

This story is a sequel to Impossible Chance

Exhausted from a long train ride, Twilight Sparkle did something she thought she'd never have the courage to do. She told Rarity she liked mares and that she had a crush on one specific mare. The admission that Rarity was the target of her affection just slipped out and Twilight was absolutely certain she had destroyed her friendship.

Instead the impossible became reality when Rarity offered Twilight Sparkle a chance even though she has never been attracted to mares. Can a relationship that seems like an impossible dream survive the trials brought on by reality?

Twilight x Rarity sequel.

Discord has been having the same nightmare for years, but after a trip to see ol' Lulu he realizes it's not actually a dream. Will he figure out what happened, or will all of Equestria fall because of past mistakes?

Going to start this off at a T rating just for imagery, violence, and suggestive themes, there is a chance this may change in the future.

This is my first MLP story, so I'm hoping to keep everyone in character. That being said, constructive criticism is wanted and appreciated greatly.

Also contains HEAVY Fluttercord. It's not the main plot but it's there. (And by heavy I mean they're married, soooo yeah if that's not your cup of tea then you've been warned).

Applejack's parents, never seen and rarely referred to. This is the story of where they come from, and where they went.

Including: The reason the Apples are so poor despite basically having a monopoly on apple production across equestria. The origin of the Flim Flam Brothers. Why Cadence is so young, Luna becomes younger after she stops being Nightmare Moon and more!

"Wait, so you're telling me that you 'accidentally' burned down Canterlot Castle and need to stay with me until it's fixed?"
"Let's just say that Cadance kicked us out before we even showed up."

Celestia "accidentally" burns down Canterlot Castle, forcing her and Luna to stay in Twilight's castle until it's rebuilt. Let's just say that Cadance said "No"
