The Artist class, a group of Changelings dedicated to the creation and preservation of art for the Hive, they planned the Hive's tunnels, the buildings, even the various small tweaks to the throne room. While they were a fairly small group, they were as important as any other.
At least until Chrysalis decides they are of no more use to the Hive, and begins hunting them down. The last survivor, a young Nymph named Spinnekop, is kept alive and given a very special task. She must gain as much information as possible from her target while trying to follow the commands of the Queen.
But when Chrysalis' plan comes together, and they attack the capital of Equestria, everything changes.

Let's get this straight - I don't like people. I like being alone with my thoughts without having to go through the mundane distractions of social commitments.

So when I was asked if I wanted to go someplace with no human interactions, I hopped onboard without a second thought. I probably should have thought that one through.

There's no humans, sure, but in order to survive I HAVE to be able to have a steady conversation with ponies. Considering ponies are exactly the same as humans... It isn't going to be easy. Oh, and there's that whole 'Save our race otherwise you die,' deal. I can't believe I got roped into something so convoluted it makes the Lost storyline seem like something you read to a child.

Based on Rust's immense and amazing universe and a part of the Chess Game of the Gods.

Twilight did pass her exam, but her magic did not flare up. Hatching a dragon egg was more of an optional test the parents could agree too. Because her magic never flared, Celestia’s attention was not caught by her. Twilight was left to enter the best academy in the land, but not as the personal student of Princess Celestia.
Only a few months later Twilight sees how alone she is in it, surrounded by unfriendly mares and stallions who were at least three years older than her, she begins to struggle in her studies. Shining is no longer there to help, and neither are her parents. She is convinced she is in this alone.
When one night a mare visits Twilights in her dreams. Nightmare Moon offers to teach her, and help her study, for one thing in return. Travel to the the abandoned castle of the two pony sisters by the thousandth sun celebration.

The past always comes back to haunt the present, there is no escaping the inevitable. For decades, Celestia has kept a secret from her student. A secret she made out of pain, and through pain will be revealed for all to see; for Twilight Sparkle is the secret daughter of the Sun.

Now, there will be consequences.

Consequences, they come in all shapes and sizes for every decision. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. These words are lessons that Princess Celestia should know, bits of wisdom she practices in her rule of Equestria. How is it then, that when faced with a decision, she chooses the one that would inevitably bring the most pain? How is it that she couldn’t bear being recognized as the mother of her child? And why? Twilight Sparkle is about to find out.

When I had arrived in Equestria, I had been scared, miserable and alone, but then I had met Magnum and Pearl. The two had generously given me a roof over my head and a warm meal for my trouble. Years went by and the two became the closet thing I had to a family. When they had their first child Rarity I was given the honour of god father. I was later made legal guardian of both Rarity and the new addition Sweetie belle. Nearly three years later I would be hit with a devastating blow.

A single letter was all it took to shatter my world. I found myself the legal guardian of the two orphaned foals when I can barely afford to feed myself. Grieving and falling deeper into debt what can I do.?

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.

A filly Twilight Sparkle forgot to bring a book to read on the train, and now faces a horribly boring afternoon...

Or, she does until she notices another filly reading. Surely she can sneak a peek, right?

There were many things Chrysalis was prepared to lose. Her hive, her children, and her crown were not amongst those things. Fleeing her old home, with no one to turn to and nowhere to feed, she stumbles across a town she didn't know existed.

From serendipity hatches an opportunity. From opportunity, progress. And perhaps, one day, even redemption. It is a long way off. There is a lot for her to confront, both in her past and future. But she has a lot of time in exile.

(Despite the image source, this story is not canon to the comics.)
(Also, as might be fairly obvious, this story takes place in the aftermath of the season six finale.)

When Starlight Glimmer decided to play with time, she created worlds that never should have been. Now she goes to a young Twilight Sparkle, to give her the tools to end the war with Sombra.

She can only hope the Twilight in this world can forgive her for it.

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...
