The surface isn't safe anymore.

In the ruined depths of Canterlot, a team of brave salvagers discover six mares, long forgotten but miraculously preserved. Though these mares cannot remember what happened to their world, they possess powerful magic that hasn't been seen for centuries.

Now the Elements of Harmony are thrust headlong into a world beyond recognition. Twilight and her friends must dive into the sunken remains of history to determine what happened, but Equestria isn't the harmonious land it once was. Before they can focus wholly on the past, they may first have to survive the present.

It isn't going to be easy.

This story is a sequel to Empty Horizons

For the first time in a thousand years, the old magic has returned to Equestria.

The Elements of Harmony have been torn asunder by the careless Equestria they found themselves in just one month ago. Twilight Sparkle fled into the ocean, pleading for her friends not to follow her after only barely stopping the destructive rampage caused by The Other. Rainbow Dash and Applejack, with nothing but their knowledge of Twilight's nature and a crew of seasoned adventurers, leave Altalusia hoping to find their lost friend and bring her back. Meanwhile, Countess Rarity finds herself trapped among the machinations of Duke Titus, but perhaps she can yet use her new position for good.

But the new Equestria remains as treacherous as ever for six mares lost in time, and the sunken ruins of their old home still holds fresh and terrifying dangers. Mysteries a thousand years old demand solving, and even those born on the floating islands of the new Equestria may find themselves torn between two paths.

The world changed in the absence of Twilight Sparkle and her friends, and with their return it braces for change once more.

Audiobook updates Thursdays and Fridays!

Cadance has the most wonderful surprise in the world to share with her beloved Auntie Celestia. In fact, it's the most spectacular, wonderful, and joyous news she has ever had to share in her life. Won't Celestia just love to hear it?

New chapter every Sunday! Complete!
Lyra always loved the way her hand danced across the keys of her piano, her fingers jumping from one to another in a perfect seething of chorus and melody. By the age of 13 she had already played in front of a crowd of thousands and was by all means a prodigy in her art. Now, it's been three years since she lost her arm in a tragic accident and has been dealing with depression ever since, unable to get past what she'd lost.
One day in physical therapy she meets a girl roughly her own age named Bon-bon and though the two don't really say much beyond hello at first, the two eventually become the best of friends. But both of them still have their issues and will need one another to hopefully one day get past them.
This is not a shipfic.

Based on the two's appearance in Rainbow Rocks playing the piano and inspired by how I learnt to play the piano.
Also, an important message on the correct pronunciation of certain words as clarified by Meghan McCarthy. Link.

"Horse feels making me genuinely sad right now." - McStuffins.

It's a crutch you know. [oh god I just realise that horrible unintentional pun]
We use the fact that everyone here knows what the characters look like to skip over giving any physical description beyond anything that differs with our own head canon.
I didn't describe Lyra at all but you know what she looks like. Screw it, Lyra's black!

This story is a sequel to Past Sins

Hearth's Warming is a time for friends and family to come together, celebrate harmony, and welcome the new year. Nyx is looking forward to just this as she rides the train to Canterlot with Spike and Twilight. She's going to meet her extended family for the first time and wants nothing more than to make a good impression. Yet, the sheen of the holidays can't hide the trouble caused by meddling grandparents, relentless reporters, and a paranoid uncle.

Yo, the name's Vinyl Scratch, and all told, I've got it pretty good.

I do what I love, I love what I do, and what I do is make music that gets ponies pumped. I mean, you've probably seen me around. Truth be told I'm kind of everywhere—from Canterlot to Manehatten—doing fashion shows, clubs, weddings, and at least two royal shindigs post-changeling invasion. Funny thing about that though...

Special thanks to Dreams of Ponies, The Masked Ferret, and Skeeter the Lurker for their editing and support.

Opal and Rarity have always had a close bond, even if at times it hasn't seemed like that's the case. Both rely on each other, but only one can speak. When offered a chance to voice all she's ever wanted to tell Rarity, what will Opal say, and will the mare she looks up to even be able understand it?

Voted on by my wonderful patrons!

The elements of harmony did not posses emotions, despite what many thought. They were simply a weapon to be used against evil and disharmony, they were black and white when it came to their use. They cared not for what lead one to evil or why. When used they reflected the users desire and were open to interpretation to what the users wished for them to do. In her desire to destroy the evil that corrupted her sister. Celestia did not realize the elements would interpret it as a desire to kill!

Thanks to everyone that looked over the story. You guys rock.
