Twilight has come to terms with her feelings towards Rainbow Dash, but with the chaos of planning and hosting yet another Iron Pony Competition, can Twilight find the words and time to tell her friend, or will the hype of the competition prevent her from finding the chance she needs?

Rainbow Dash wakes up with a searing pain in her head fifteen days after a serious accident. Her friends tell her that she was in a coma but a series of strange visions make her think otherwise. Why does she know of things that don't exist in Equestria and who is this man that keeps appearing in her dreams? Only a certain princess holds the key to Rainbow Dash finally finding peace.

Twilight offers Scootaloo a chance to start a new life. But she has to sacrifice her old one first, which means saying goodbye to two of her closest friends...

AUTHOR'S NOTES

A lot of the fics I've seen in the featured box lately have involved Changelings, cider, Princess Twilight or Scootaloo. Oh, and Pokémon. So I decided to write a story which used all of them.

Cover Art: Scootaloo vector created by OTfor2 on DeviantArt. I just added the text.

Prophecies; Twilight Sparkle has come to hate them with a passion. Caught unawares by an ancient prophecy, Twilight awakens on a strange land surrounded by creatures she's never heard about before. Worse, she is no longer in her own body, and none of her magic works. Having to learn a new form of magic, Twilight resolves to do whatever it takes to return home, and to her own body.

She'll just have to avoid assassins, creatures out of nightmares and from Tartarus itself, while dealing with a group of violent companions, if she is to have any hope of succeeding.

Meanwhile, Equestria is threatened by a form of evil it's not prepared to confront. Rarity is haunted by the creature, and if it should get its claws on her no pony, not even Celestia herself, may be able to save her, or Equestria.

Two worlds touched by the hubris and arrogance of a dead civilization will tremble. The Sins of the Ancients have, and will again, lead to destruction, and perhaps, salvation.

She was his little sister, he just couldn't stand the thought of her being with another stallion, least the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony. She must be under some type of mind control! How could Twilight Sparkle even think of marrying Discord? Shining Armor would not stand with his hooves crossed while his sister ruined her life, he would do anything to break her free of the "spell". But is she really being controlled, or he is simply jealous?

Linda settled for bed, only to awaken in the middle of a garden of statues of horses. She was one of them, only not as petrified. When she eventually slumbered there, she returned home. Living two lives, can she make sense of it all? Fix it, or enjoy it?

Triggers: Transgender, Human to Pony

Twilight Sparkle never was a Unicorn and she didn't even know it.
What happens when her true heritage comes to light? Will she willingly embrace it? Or will she be forced to?

Beware of spoilers in the comments!

This story is a sequel to The Irony of Applejack

Warning: this story is a sequel. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you read the prequel first before continuing!

Over half a year has passed since the changeling attack on Ponyville, and Applejack would like to think things have finally settled down. Much has changed for the young changeling, and all of Equestria in kind. The new district in Ponyville proves that, along with the town's many new residents.
But there is much the young queen does not yet know about being a changeling. Some things, she will learn, can be chosen, while others will be chosen for her. With new allies and enemies emerging all around her, Applejack must discover what it truly means to rule before the choice is taken from her forever, and the history of the changelings repeats itself, once again...

It's been ten years since the end of her first career, and she had long since accepted it. At first she blamed all, especially the mare that upstaged her and exposed her as a fraud. It was for the better though. Now she was known as a mare of myth: The Mist Mare. Wherever she went a magic mist followed. She was now a protector. Everypony had heard of her now, and everypony respected her now...so why didn't she care? The fame and glory were all she once cared about, but now it seemed like a hollow victory of a contest that didn't exist. Throughout all the training, all the injuries she suffered, all the fights, she didn't feel as if it mattered that they loved her. She always appreciated it, but she could go without it. She contemplated the reason why, and finally found her answer. Now it was time to return to where it all began, where she would find the mare who started her on this path. It was time to show her what she'd become. This would be: Trixie's Triumphant Return!

Twilight Sparkle regains consciousness thanks to Discord only to find she and all of Equestria have been transformed into changelings by Chrysalis, with Canterlot as her new grand-hive. A weakened Discord gives her the help she needs to locate her friends and attempt to snap them out of their brainwashing, while Luna leads the remaining ponies in a struggling but stubborn resistance against the love-feeders. How long does Twilight have before she succumbs to the changeling's hunger again?
