Twilight Sparkle has fallen to a great darkness. Now, the remaining Guardians of Friendship must face their former leader in an all-out war. Can Twilight Sparkle be saved, or is she beyond the reach of her friends forever?

Years have passed since Princess Luna returned home, but the younger sister always believed her mistakes were not entirely in the past. There was one more wound in need of mending: her most loyal subjects, bat-winged ponies, who pledged themselves to Nightmare Moon's cause and were paying the price to this day. Celestia condemned the idea of inviting Nightmare Moon's followers to the homes of her subjects; but Luna had to try, she couldn't watch those who pledged their lives to her being forced to hide, being hated by everyone. Luna gathered a team and began to sway the public opinion, as always, there was an opposition; and then, an old friend offered her support. How could she say no, especially to someone she knew so well?

On one of my mind trips, I create a pocket dimension that is Equestria. I proceed to conquer it, for it is my right as its creator.

*Yes; this is exactly what it sounds like. The prompt was: ‘your self-insert takes over Equestria’. What else was I supposed to do?

Here's what the readers are saying about this story:

I bring up Rise of Insanity by Bad Dragon as some of the coolest surreal shit I've ever read. -Verbose Mode

this story takes the concept of a self-insert way too literally, as the vast majority of it takes place within his own gastrointestinal tract. Um, eww? -Palm Palette

The most merciful thing in the world is the inability of the mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of eyebrows in the midst of black seas of infinity, and we weren't supposed to travel very far. The sciences, each striving in its own direction, have now little harmed us; but someday the thrill of dissociated knowledge will open such terrifying views of reality, and of our frightening position, that we will either go mad at the revelation or flee the mortal light into the peace and security of a new age of darkness.

Princess Celestia sang a song, now there's a voice telling her she's going to become immortal?

Now with a Chinese Translation!

This is a TwiDash story. Actually, the first story I've had any sort of shipping involved. I tried before with an earlier story, but writing those mushy-wushy scenes made me feel dirty. So I avoided it. Until now. I bit my lip and forced myself to write this, and I actually felt emotional writing this story. Does that mean I did a good job, or that it's currently four in the morning and I should really get some sleep? Dunno. You can be the judge, however.

I chose TwiDash because I think it's the best ship. Fight me.

Also, I don't hate Alicorn Twilight. I think it's cool. I just had an idea for a story that I thought, if done right, could be pretty emotional. I'm not against Alicorn Twilight.

Partly inspired by I’m not small, I’m aerodynamic! just because I absolutely adore the idea that Rainbow is super short. I’m going to add that to every story involving Rainbow from here on out.

Equestria is a haven for the magical pony race. Ruled under the beloved and benevolent Alicorn Sisters spanning hundreds of miles, it's our heroes' job to travel across it. But not just Equestria, no. They must go further beyond Equestria, Equus even! Griffonia and Zebrica are in need of some help too y'know. But before our little ponies can even leave Ponyville, they'll have to settle some domestic issues first...

This story takes place during season 6 after "Gauntlet of Fire" before 'No Second Prance's' for obvious reasons. Also, the season five finale, the season five episode 'Party Pooped', The season six two-parter, 'The Crystalling,' and the rest of season six onward are not canon to this AU.

Parts of this story are no longer Canon, as of 10/23/23 this work is now considered partial canon.

Twilight has always been the mare to go to when you have a situation. But what happened if no one looked to her for help anymore? Her sole purpose was to help ponies and give them information. That's why she loved the library. But......what now? Now that the traffic's stopped, the others , her friends, don't even talk to her when she expresses her concerns. Along with lies and things that have gone untold about her.

What now......that her sole purpose is gone?

P.S. Not too depressing, but you sure are in for a shocker! Includes action, adventure, and Family as well!

Has been updated to a Teen Rating due to sexual references in later chapters

Things go about as well as you'd expect.

A *family friendly* one shot from Rainbow Dash's perspective.

A companion piece to Nightlings: The Facade.

Fantastic, I finally get to visit my favorite cast of awesome talking ponies to have one small thing keeping me from enjoying it to its fullest. I CAN"T FREAKING INTERACT WITH ANYTHING. I guess being a ghost in Equestria isn't the worst thing that could have happened, at least I can shadow my favorite ponies and see what going on in their lives. Heh, I guess I've become the ultimate stalker, I do miss having someone to talk to that wasn't me, myself or I though.

*^*^*
Set before the events of season three.

Rated teen for now for safety, rating may change later on based on where the story goes. Characters will be added later if they get added to the story.
