Rarity just doesn't have any luck when it comes to finding her special somepony. Just some shipping nonsense I wrote for a contest. I hope you all like it.

Proofread by Triforce of the Gods, thank you again.

Sometimes you look so hard for something that you miss what's right in front of you.

You just have to keep hoping.

Rarity awakes to knocking, only to find a book the only thing at the door.

Reading the research log of Twilight's feeling ends up to be one of the better things she's done.

Accepted into Twilight's Library! I feel all warm and fuzzy now.

Written for the Friendship is Magic Gaming Clan creative contest.

Not written for but given the okay to add it to the RariTwi Contest (Made it to the top five too EDIT: Tied for the Top Prize)

This story is a sequel to Queen No More

Twilight Sparkle made the most foolish and selfless decision possible. She saved the life of Queen Chrysalis. The dynamics of Twilight's relationships begin to change as Chrysalis introduces the changeling hivemind to her pony caretaker. Chrysalis' only hope was to relieve her loneliness, but events begin to unfold that will change Equestria forever.

Nothing is stronger than the power of redemption...

NOTES
1. This is the sequel to Queen No More but there is a time jump between its end and Hive Alive's beginning.
2. This is Alternate universe due to the fact that this story will run off of a disparate timeline. Events forward of season 2 may be similar OR significantly altered.
3. There is mention in Chapter 3 of an old changeling tale titled As a Star. A version of this has been written by Farseer.

NO MORE UPDATES: The story is complete. A sequel has been made: Queen of Equestria.

Rainbow finds herself with a curious question. When she gets her answer she finds that it will change things for her quite a bit

Princess Celestia always knew that Twilight Sparkle was destined for great things, but she never revealed the source of that knowledge, not even to those closest to her. When the day of Twilight's true destiny finally arrives, can Celestia fulfill an ancient promise to save Equestia's past, present, and future, even it means saying goodbye to Twilight forever? How can Celestia refuse her mother's last wish?

A thousand years after Twilight became a princess, Celestia requests a final friendship report from her.
With all of her friends gone, the lessons they taught Twilight will be echoed in one final letter.

You will be Fluttershy, and you will have difficulty facing what will happen to Twilight.

(This fic was written in response to a kind-of-sort-of challenge... dare... thing... from an Equestria Daily pre-reader.)

THREE OLD FRIENDS join Fluttershy at her cottage for her 60^th birthday party, and afterwards, Fluttershy walks Applejack home. On the way they stop and visit a departed friend.

This story is a sequel to Trixie's Great and Powerful Revenge

When one of Twilight's spells goes a bit awry, she finds that an affected Rarity might be a little more than she bargained for.

(Originally posted on EqD in April 2011. I originally meant to keep this as a one-shot, but wrote the second part after there was demand for it. I do like how the second part came out though, so no regrets!)

(Also, if you like this story, be sure to check out Tragic Magic! It's a continuation of this one!)

Rarity's search for gemstones leads her to Sweet Apple Acres, and Applejack has no problem guiding her around the orchard. But when a freak storm strikes, the two ponies must race against the tempest to find shelter.

As the storm rages overhead, Applejack wrestles with the growing unrest within her heart regarding Rarity. And as events unfold, Rarity is forced to examine her own opinions and feelings towards her best friend.

(This is a RariJack shipfic, written per request/challenge for a friend.)
