Ponies wanted Celestia away, because in their minds, she wasn't able to protect them anymore. They forced her to give up the Sun to the Unicorns, taking away most of her powers, and then they threw her out of Canterlot.

Now, a year later, they called her back to Canterlot. Why? What could they possibly want from her?

One shot AU in which the first two seasons happened, but without the presence of the Mane 6 (First attempt at real Pony Fic)...

This story is a sequel to Monsters

You might think that Equestrian nights are but serene exhibitions of Luna's work on the sky. You may believe that you can just lay out on the grass and admire the beautiful stars as a warm evening breeze caresses your mane. And you would be wrong.

Equestria is a magical place, and where there is magic, there is chaos. Dead rising from their graves, inanimate objects coming to life, strange apparitions making your foal cry in her room... sounds familiar? No? Then I'm doing my job right.

I'm Twilight Sparkle, and I work the Night Shift.

This follows canon up to the end of season 2.

Two decades after the banishment of Nightmare Moon, her shadow still lingers. Princess Celestia has been left to tend the Twin Thrones alone and protect us all from those who would see Equestria crumble. Our enemies take many forms: some would tear the world down with their claws, others with their smiles. They are monsters all the same.

I have had many names, and I have been many things. Today I am Swift Sweep, and I work for the Equestrian Bureau for State Security.

It has been ten years since Octavia has seen her mare friend Vinyl Scratch since they parted ways for their careers. But when the cellist meets Vinyl again she noticed something was very off about her. It turned out her fears were true after receiving a call for help from the DJ. Only thing is that seeing Vinyl again just unlocked a hidden trail of a murderer. Octavia must find out who the pony is and what was his motive for hurting Vinyl. But sniffing around might lead to more trouble for both Octavia and Vinyl. She won’t be alone of course, she’ll have old friends helping her including, Lyra Heartstrings, Bonbon, Apple Fritter, Beauty Brass, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle and Ditzy Doo.

Can Octavia and her friends uncover this murderer’s plot in time or will her efforts to save the mare she loved come too late?

[THIS STORY IS CANCELLED. I HAVE LEFT FIMFICTION AND WON'T COMPLETE IT HERE. PERHAPS I'LL FINISH IT ON DEVIANT ART. SORRY FOR NOT COMPELTEING IT. -TigerSwirl]

For many years the city of Cloudsdale changes and now it's going through the biggest change of all. City wide surveillance and security all thanks to a mysterious group of mysterious terrorists that attacked Cloudsdale twelve years prior and left a horrible scar on the people. One of those scarred souls is Rainbow Dash. While the street level fills with fear and corruption, Rainbow stays up high above the streets in the roof tops where there is peace and freedom. It was here in the roof tops that she and Applejack created a big courier business for those that the security calls enemies of the city. Whatever the message or parcel the client sends, it will be delivered discreetly and on time.

One day Rainbow was given a parcel from a mysterious new customer with a huge pay check. Without a second thought she delivers the parcel herself only to help in putting away an innocent woman behind bars for the disappearance of one of Equestria’s Princesses, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza. Rainbow Dash must right the wrong she caused and save the whole city from the ones that want to ruin Equestria.

(Cover art drawn by me. Not my best but, hey it's better than nothing right?)

After a meteor changes all of Equestria forever and releases something long considered destroyed, the new Mane Six will have to stop it.

Takes place in between 'Spike at Your Service' and 'Keep Calm and Flutter On'.

Something I just couldn't get off my mind until I wrote it down. Be warned: the ponies in these battles really go off on each other. Almost exactly like it is in "Epic Rap Battles of History", except with less cursing. There's plenty of verbal bashing, though.

Vinyl Scratch is the DJ for most of these battles, and will be doing the all-caps commentary (except for the ones she's in, of course). OC tag because of slight self-insert.

I've heard that this story is better when read with someone else. You know, with each person doing one half of the rap battle?

...should there be a 'sex' tag, considering some of the stuff brought up in the rap battles?

Apple Bloom, Applejack and Vinyl discovered an ancient chest that was filled with old photos and books. Until they discovered something that made their minds flip, they found an old photograph of two women that looked strikingly similar to Applejack and Vinyl. What could this mean? The sisters opened an old dairy to find out.

Join the Wild West adventures of two young women, Annabelle “Annie” Apple and Melody Liker as they journey to the hard wild frontier town of Frontier City to stake a claim of gold and become legends. Melody only wanted the women, the gold, and the riches that she could never get at home. But Annie just wanted a new place to make a farm and be herself. But of course fate has different plans for these two women.

Can they achieve their dreams? Can they find love in this new place? Will Melody’s past come back to bite them both in the tail? What will Vinyl and Applejack learn after reading the story of these two women? Jump in and find out.

Now this story is considered canon to the Apple Scratch Verse Series.

It was supposed to be Octavia’s first big moment in her beginning career. To her dismay a unicorn named Vinyl Scratch stole her spotlight and left an impression on the cellist she would so soon not forget.

This is my take on how two of my favorite ponies met and the stages they went through.

This story takes place about 2 years before Nightmare Moon returns, so you will not see any of the main characters here. If you are here for some Scootaloo & Rainbow Dash, I am sorry to disappoint you.

But please….stay a while and listen….err read.

Rated Teen for some slightly darker scenarios in later chapters and some crude attempted humor.

Octavia is losing her classical mojo, causing her producer to try somewhat of a last ditch effort and pair her with a composer of a different kind of music. She later finds out that they too are losing their motivation, but also something a little more important.
