What will happen to everyone's favorite changeling Royal Guard when Chrysalis comes to town?

This is my take on what will happen 10-12 years in the future of the fantastic story The Changeling of the Guard by vdrake77 when A Canterlot Wedding takes place.

Readers of the friendship journal still pursue Fluttershy for answers as to why she keeps learning the same thing. Thankfully Discord is there to have a little...chat with them when they interrupt the two's Tuesday Tea.

This is a cute little fanfic idea I had a small while after the episode "Fame and Misfortune" was aired.

The newly ascended Alicorn of Love is learning to use her newfound powers, including the ability to see emotions. When Cadance looks at Princess Celestia, though, she's sure that she must be doing something wrong, because what she sees makes no sense at all...

A brief story about feeling depressed.

And a continuation of my habit of naming stories after songs which may or may not actually be relevant.

After an encounter with a certain stranger-turned-friend on a late train to Canterlot, Flash Sentry goes back to where he started from, figuratively and literally, to get some insight. Coming from a heroic lineage filled with legendary guards, captains, doctors, and law enforcement over the centuries gives a lot of pressure to live up to it all. His earliest ancestor was the founder of the Royal Guard, and his own father was a legendary captain. Flash is convinced he doesn't measure up. But some memories might offer some clarity to the situation to see if, by large deed or small; just who Flash is. Not a crush, not a guard, but a Sentry; and just what the legacy of being that entails.

Who could have imagined that such a beautiful underground oasis could not only be located so close to Ponyville, but that it had remained undiscovered until now?

Very unlikely, actually, as Maud soon learns that her new home comes with some... prior tenants.

Inspired by a comment from NodoubtbuodoN. So this is partially his fault too.

As the Princess of Friendship, the only thing Twilight Sparkle loves as much as books, reading, books, making new friends, books, spending time with her friends, and...books...

...is spreading the magic of friendship. And one easy way to do that is to introduce your friends to each other.

In need of a weekend away from the castle before heading out to the Crystal Empire to spend time with her family, Twilight decides to take a little vacation to the human world...and brings three of her newest friends along.

After all, if Princess Ember, Moondancer, and Starlight Glimmer are all Twilight's friends, surely they'll get along well with each other and with Sunset Shimmer!

Right?

Since he was young, Dark Star has had to face many a challenge for his image.
Charcoal fur, black mane, and even the same red eyes as the once villain Sombra. Sure, there were tales that the evil King had reformed, but no one had seem him in a long time, leaving Dark Star at the mercy of both children and adults alike accusing him of being a future abomination.

The day he earned his Cutie Mark didn't make things any easier. Having the image of the Grim Pony on a tome for a mark seemed to be an ill omen for all.

But the day he earned it was what set his path in stone. It was the day his mother died, and the day he wondered...what happened to ponies when they died?

Luna heard the stories. She heard the rumors and the gossip plenty enough even in her court.
Tales of a pony resembling Sombra going about, visiting ponies on their death beds just before they left Equestria for good. The Harbinger, they called him.

She was going to learn the truth, and she knew exactly where she would find him. After all, poor Shining armor never ascended like his wife. His time was at an end, and Luna knew the Harbinger would not pass up such a large figure finding his path to the afterlife.

Bow Shock was their only chance.
The undead army was approaching, the surprise attack by the necromancer giving them no time. The Princesses were too far away to get there soon enough. Ponies would die.
He couldn't let that happen.
So Bow Shock took the one route he had. The one weapon at their disposal that could end this with only one death.

All he needed was a few moments in free fall, if he didn't get a boost, and even the famous Rainbow Dash would be jealous. Too bad he wouldn't be around to see her face after this.

After her visit to Ponyville, Gabby begins creating Cutie Marks for the other Griffons in Griffonstone, in hopes of spreading goodwill and friendship.

Things are going pretty well, until Gabby is stumped by one particular Griffon, who doesn't seem especially passionate about anything, let alone having a Cutie Mark.

There is a bit of truth to every legend, though the ravages of time can bury it deeply. Myths and lore become twisted, melded, and torn the longer they are around. One of Equestria’s oldest legends is that of Nightmare Moon. It is the core of Nightmare Night and the excuse for children to go out asking for candy with a single, common rhyme.

Nightmare Night, what a fright. Give me something sweet to bite.
