Two hours was all it took for Canterlot to fall.
Two hours and one bloody night for a new nation to emerge from the ashes of Equestria.
A nation quarantined so that the outside world might survive and contain what was created, nothing remains but a dark continent of monsters and those left behind that flee the terrors in the night.

A massive thanks to all the people who have helped with this project since it was first envisioned five years ago. I could not have done it without the gracious assistance of the many talented prereaders, editors, consultants, and readers like you. It has been a long journey, but one that was worth it.

Thank you once again to the artist who commissioned the cover, Hex Floog - Deviant Art - Tumblr.

Thanks is also in order for my editor for a major portion of this project who poured over every word and who always had amazing constructive suggestions for this tale, The Dreaming Writer.

Prince Noctis did everything he could. He went through hell collecting the royal arms, fought freaking gods, watched his fiance die, went to a coma for ten years, fought Ardyn to take back the kingdom, correction, ruins of the kingdom, sacrificing himself and his ascention to free the world from the darkness. He sacrificed everything and, in the end, what did he get? A rewardless death!

Luckily, a certain equestrian goddess thinks this isn't fair.

So now, Noctis, reborn as an earth pony, have another chance to prove himself worthy of ascention in the magical land of Equestria! (NOW FULLY EDITED)

Starlight gets a new friend. She seems to hang off of every word Starlight has to say and isn't at all worried about her troubled past. She even likes kites! How could this get any better?

Written eagerly for a patron on patreon!

This story is now an outdated version. An updated version will be linked here when it is available. This version is being left up for now, but will not receive any updates and is cancelled.

The only thing Midnight Shadow wanted was a normal life. He thought that by creating a mechanical leg to replace his missing one, he could have that. He was wrong.

By creating this new invention, he unknowingly sends himself down a new path. A path full of new friends, new enemies, endless secrets, and the beginning of a dark mystery just waiting to be uncovered.

Daring Do finds an interesting creature. She isn't going to take care of it, so she brings it to the Royal Sisters to deal with. Surely they can handle it, right?

Once upon a time, 17-year old Eric Colby was just your average high school senior. His father worked for TechnoCorp Enterprises, the world's most prosperous science and technology corporation, and Eric himself was doing pretty well in school, for the most part.

But one night, everything changed.

After a series of unexpected events, Eric is suddenly transported into Equestria and mutated into a unicorn by a mysterious genetic sample. Discovered by Twilight Sparkle and her friends, Eric struggles to adapt to his new form, while also trying to uncover a plot that could destroy both humans and ponies alike, and put the whole Universe in danger...

Takes place a short time after the movie, and is canon up to that point. The events of Equestria Girls did not happen during this timeline.

Rated Teen and or some frightening scenes and/or concepts, especially for some moments during the later phases of the story. Feel free to interpret their severity for yourselves. Comments, opinions, and likes are very much appreciated!

Equestria: A paradise world ruled by princesses Celestia and Luna, who have managed to maintain a Utopian society for the native ponies for hundreds of years. It has become a shining beacon of civilisation across the universe, a promise of peace and prosperity for other worlds and civilisations throughout the cosmos. Why then would anyone attack it? Who would commit such a terrible act? What would they stand to gain? What was their plan, and how would it prove beneficial to anyone?

Spike: A dragon in Equestria, raised for as long as he can remember alongside his adoptive sister, Twilight Sparkle. He has grown to be one of her oldest and closest friends as well as her assistant. The two have grown in each other's presence, providing each other with the love, care and closeness that only family can possibly give, and a life that neither could ever imagine without the other. For Twilight, it is perfect - but Spike yearns for the one thing that Twilight can't give him; information on his past and origins. Hungry for answers, he seeks out the wisdom of anyone who can possibly help him, a search which seems to sprawl before him in a long, winding road. Who can give him what he needs? How can Twilight, the most important person in Spike's life, risk the bond that they have for a quest that seems doomed from the beginning?

With such an abundance of questions and such a scarcity of answers, Spike is forced to trek down that road quicker than he would have imagined as the importance of seeking those answers increases exponentially. Through hardships and confusion, difficulties and turmoil, Spike desperately hopes to find what he's looking for before he's drowned in questions that seem to be relentlessly forcing their way into his life, but none more so than the three which evade his every attempt to seek clarity:

What is his destiny?

What is the real threat?

Can it be stopped?

After 10 long years, Daybreaker has finally trapped Twilight Sparkle who has been very elusive. Now is the time to change Twilight's destiny from a simple princess to some more... "suitable".

Note:Right then, kinda nervous posting this but the picture, lack of Daybreaker/Twilight-related fics, and sudden inspiration kind of made it happen so hopefully you enjoy.Also, if you see any grammatical,punctual, and other issues go ahead and point them out. Might as well improve, hopefully.

Princess Celestia has dispatched her prized pupil, Twilight Sparkle, to oversee preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration. An unfortunate accident, however, cuts her student's life short. Now another must recover the Elements in her stead, or else Equus will be plunged into eternal night.

With so many of those "X becomes Y in Equestria" Fics bouncing around, I got an idea for one of my own that just wouldn't go away. Rather than let it distract me from my writing any longer, I decided to take the idea, put my personal twist on it, and get to writing! The story is already 100% finished, Epilogue and everything, so you don't have to wait long for updates like my other stories.

Huge thanks to The Spirits Demise for the wonderful cover art, and Azriel for editing and proofreading!!

I have a Discord server for my stories, y'all are free to drop in and check it out if you want.

Twilight Sparkle is an apprentice wizard to the famous Starswirl the Bearded, archmage extraordinaire. In his cottage on the outskirts of Ponyville, she and her familiar, the pseudodragon Spike, live in simple comfort as she learns the secrets of the arcane. But her life of quiet study comes to an end the day the sun rises late. Soon after, she is thrust into a world of danger and adventure, seeking ancient relics that can save her world. But for Twilight, the most difficult task is something else entirely - making friends.
