There are many stories where Twilight tells off her friends after the Wedding. But that's not really Twilight's bag, she gets worried she's failed, or depressed, not angry. So here is a different bridal path, one where Twilight acts decisively to try and redeem herself in the eyes of her friends and sovereign, and ends up travelling to places she never imagined, facing dangers and foes she never dreamed of and making even stranger friends. Of course, there is still a 'reason you suck' speech delivered, but delivered by the last person anyone would expect...

Twilight Sparkle wants to reestablish her old rapport with Princess Celestia - the close relationship they had when Twilight was the Princess’s personal student. But life moves ever onward and the connections they had in the past will not be enough for the alicorns to overcome the challenges that lie ahead. To make it through their shared trials and revelations, Twilight and Celestia will need to grow beyond their existing bonds and become much more than faithful student and immortal mentor.

As far as most ponies are concerned, The Shadowbolts do not exist. They exist only as stories and rumors, something associated with Nightmare Moon and the return of Princess Luna.

Starry Skies is a bat pony and Shadowbolt field agent. Her job is to help keep Equestria safe by stopping some threats before the public even knows about it.

When rumors begin to spread that a cult of some kind is planning to summon a great evil, it is up to Starry Skies and her partner Mimic to find out if it is true, and if so, to make sure that they do not succeed.

Is there actually a cult? Can Star stop their plans? And what happens when her professional and personal life cross?

For a long time, Twilight could feel it; a sense of emptiness she couldn't explain. Now that she's a princess, that feeling is stronger than ever. She finally decides to bring the matter up with Celestia. In response, Celestia gives her an old book.

The contents of that book will change her perspective of the world... and her beloved mentor. Just accepting the truth is a challenge. And after that?

She has to make a decision.

A mother will do a lot for her child, even give them up if it meant them having a safer life growing up, despite the obvious pain that comes for the parent.

That pain is something Queen Chrysalis has gone through for eighteen years, but now the time is upon them, and she wants her daughter back. Even if that means invading Canterlot during a royal wedding.

Change is now a printed book, information here: https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/732008/i-got-a-thing-change-is-now-a-physical-book

Today you wake up and things are a little different than you expected. Instead of your bed, you're lying in a mountain clearing. Instead of your normal face, a stranger looks back at you in the stream's reflection. You remember everything about your life and your loved ones... everything except what happened last night that led you to... this.

This is a story of just such a pony. First told from the perspective of the ponies she meets in the first few days after the event and then again from her perspective. Together they tell of a pony who doesn't seek greatness, only answers.

***********************
This story is based in 1000 year old Canterlot and involves some of the ponies who wielded the Elements of Harmony during the banishment of Nightmare Moon (according to The Real Story fan fiction comic on Youtube and Deviantart). Reading those is NOT necessary, but will give some background into some of the side characters in the story (link if you want it: http://nimaru.deviantart.com/art/Gathering-Elements-Rook-267204706)

Something is wrong with the included illustrations and I don't know what! I've sent a message to Imgur to see if they can help me figure it out since it seems to be on their end. Until then, the story is also posted on my Deviantart page with pictures intact here: http://nimaru.deviantart.com/art/A-Second-Chance-Chapter-1-346684809

This story is a sequel to Fangs

Octavia finally managed to get what she wanted, someone to fill the gap of loneliness that lingered on the edges of her mind, but it seems like her conflicts are just beginning.

(I'd really recommend reading the first story. Or else the first chapter probably won't make a shred of sense.)

Credits to roker12 for editing.

An alicorn who wishes to repair a friendship in any way possible finds herself aboard Equestria's largest space station. Her goal is to keep things friendly with her old friend, to avoid relapsing into the past and ending up alone. As Twilight attempts to fix the fence, the station becomes contaminated.

There is an Organism...big, relentless, aggressive, and extremely deadly that arrives on the once friendly station, causing chaos and turning the friendly atmosphere into a war zone. Twilight, who has no experience in mechanics or maintenance, has to fix the station.

Watch Twilight as the hunt begins, as ponies turn on one another, and as a friendship slowly begins to crumble. Could you tell me how long it would take you to...sign out?

For a thousand years, the Code of Harmony has ruled Equestria, and the Code of Dissonance has sabotaged its works at every turn. Now the war for control over the land will come to a head, and one unicorn's decision may decide the fate of all.

Her teacher, Princess Celestia is Harmony's most powerful master and she knows her enemies are hatching a plan that threatens to cast down the Harmony of her throne and all she has sacrificed to create.

What she does not know is her foe seeks a new Apprentice to turn to his dark ways. A unicorn with seemingly limitless potential for magic, whose thirst for knowledge may yet lead her down a dark path, who is known to be such a faithful student of magic, eagerly seeking the truth no matter how forbidden it might be...
