I was always different. A failing body and a mind that always felt incompatible. And with my body failing me, I died. Only, I didn't die. Instead, I returned home as the prophecy had foretold a thousand years ago. Where my mind matched my body, and my body matched my mind. But arriving in this new world set into motion an ancient conflict, one which I would be thrown head first into where I would learn who I truly was meant to be.

Please let me know what you think in the comments! Any criticism is greatly appreciated.

Two brothers, born within darkness. But as one lingers within the shores of the dark sea and mingles with the light, the other descends into its darkest depths.

But both are mere pieces to an even larger puzzle...

After defeating Tirek, Cozy Glow, and Queen Chrysalis with the help of her dear friends, Princess Twilight Sparkle is about to truly ascend to the throne and rule over Equestria in both Luna and Celestia's stead. Unfortunately, her ascension isn't what she was expecting, and a shocking revelation is made.

Foreknowledge of 'Ark: Survival Evolved' isn't entirely necessary, but it does help nonetheless.

Editor: Demondude.

No one lives forever.

Princess Celestia had long known this, but never knew the costs. Yet, one evening, her world and those of the ones closest to her begin to burn. Soon, there will be little left to mark her reign in history.

But, there is one secret to being remembered forever: your legacy. Now, the world will watch through the eyes of 12 candidates chosen to receive the Princess' final wishes. Time races against them as more pieces enter the chess board.

And another pawn is taken off.

Wrote this for NaNoWriMo! It's my first time so I'm still learning how to adjust from short story form to long story. Chapters may seem small to start but I plan to make them bigger. I will do my best to finish this novel, despite November being over.

Constructive criticism is ALWAYS encouraged!

For many ponies there is a darkness deep inside their souls that no light could triumph over. For Celestia there is a blinding light.

Written for Bicyclette's second A Thousand Words contest in the category 'Drama'.

Proofread by Equimorto with further help from Jessi.

It shouldn't have been a big deal. Celestia was kidnapped or knocked out or just generally made to seem powerless by whatever idiot with ill intent decided to show up on a nearly weekly basis. As the mighty and immortal Sun Princess, she could escape at any time, but she was happy to play these little games. The daring rescues and bloodless battles gave her ponies such a sense of confidence and purpose!
But this one didn't go as planned. One small, stupid mistake got her thrown to the twisted reaches of the world-prison, Tartarus. Now alone, unarmed, and barely more than mortal, Celestia wakes in a living landscape where everything has every reason to hate her.
And, far worse, she has accidentally picked up a passenger.

Sidenote: This a repost (I tried to go through official channels, I promise!) of a story I wrote long, long ago on an account I foolishly deleted. Back in those days, Tartarus hadn't shown up in an actual episode yet. It's not exactly an alternate universe situation, but it has nothing to do with the canon portrayal of the place.

Trapped in a future where Twilight--now known as Andromeda--has turned into an uncaring, emotionless dark-magic wielding empress, Rarity sometimes contemplates just... you know... accelerating her trip to the heavens, so to speak.

On one such time, she's surprised to find it's Andromeda of all ponies who makes her change her mind.

Takes place in an AU by Maximasmac (a brief explanation of the AU is inside the story). Artwork is also by Maxima and depicts Andromeda.

So, I got blasted by some mages in my world, and now I'm in a completely new one. I'm something called a 'kirin', and I've lost my opposable thumbs. Surprisingly, it wasn't a polymorph spell either! My magic has gone completely wack. I burned down a forest. And apparently I'm the first ever Kirin to have alicorn magic, which sounds awesome right? Well, not when you're constantly combusting into flames! I never wanted this! And for some reason these ponies keep treating me so nicely. Even after I keep screwing everything up. How hard is it to act like normal for once in my life?

What? There's nothing wrong with me! Please don't send me back...

An epic water war is waged when the royal sisters babysit Flurry Heart after Twilight has to go to Ponyville, Shining Armor has been deployed, and Cadance needs a night out. After Flurry goes to sleep, Luna and Celestia resume the fight, but they decide to make it more interesting by turning it into a drinking game. Things escalate quickly when Cadance and Twilight join the war.

I thought it was just a particularly hot summer. When my friends and the rest of the town started acting weird, I thought it was just the heat. After all, we've had heatwaves before, and those always drive ponies a little crazy. That's what I told myself, anyway.

And then I did some digging and realized I was right... and also very, very wrong.
