Sunset makes it her mission to contain the stray Equestrian magic that leaks into her new home, doing her best to minimize corruption and damage to anyone that can be harmed by it. As a powerful enemy emerges from the depths of limbo, containing it may not be an option anymore.

Now, if only Twilight wasn't so eager to toss herself into the fight, that would be great.

Rainbow Dash and Rarity returned from a trip that the table in Twilight’s castle sent them on. It was not, what most would call, a fun trip. Upset, both mares understandably have some questions regarding the nature of the map. The pair and Twilight might very well learn the answers to those questions, and also that some questions are best left unasked.

Inspired by a conversation with Tired Old Man.

Shining Armor has been living a lie.

Many see him as powerful and brave.

Yet deep inside is a soul who is playful wishing for true freedom.

Coming across a ancient tome, how could he pass up the chance to live as how he always saw himself?

A simple carefree night turns his life upside down, Gleaming Shield wants to live her own life and the pull to break free is becoming too strong.

Can Shining Armor balance a life between two parts of himself?

Or will He and She lose everything?

WARNING: Major spoilers in the comments. Takes place several months after the end of season four. (Not a Da Vinci Code crossover, BTW!)

Do you see a dark tag? No, you don't. Not dark. Well, okay, there are a couple of dark-ish bits, but that's all. Not enough to warrant a tag. Speaking of tags, there really ought to be "Badass Twilight" and "Friendshipping" ones.

Sequels and side-stories (and more) can be found here Offprint and AO3, and a hardbound two-volume set of all that can be ordered from The Ministry of Image.

My editor for the first edition of this story was Gogito, and I can't thank him enough for all the hard work he did. My editor for the revised version was PresentPerfect, and he did a terrific job of getting the story into excellent shape.

Twilight, a young alicorn at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, is interrupted in her studying by a fellow student who wants to know about some things that changed when she ascended. Before she knows it, she's telling her new acquaintance the tale of how she fell in love with magic, how her brother and the other Element Bearers helped her to rise up . . .

. . . and how she fell to dark magic and nearly destroyed them.

Loosely based on an old blog post by RealityCheck.

Sci-Twi's nightmares won't stop. Every night, Midnight Sparkle returns in her sleep to taunt and threaten her. One day, Sci-Twi accidentally falls through the portal to Equestria. There, she receives help from two unexpected sources: herself, or rather, her alicorn counterpart, and another princess who has experience with becoming a dark creature of evil as well as dealing with her own worst nightmares: Princess Luna. Determined to face her fears, she works with Princess Twilight and Princess Luna to end her nightmares.

This story is set several days after "Friendship Games". However, it's meant to be an alternative to what happens in the Equestria Girls universe, so it doesn't connect to "Legend of Everfree".

After several centuries Celestia's wish for an intellectual partner without any relationship with her was granted. It came in the form of a twenty-something pegasus scientist with a knack for intellectual pettiness.

Tremble.

Life was pretty routine for Spike: Wake up, eat some food, keep Twilight and Starlight in check, go back to bed. It was a simple life, if not a bit predictable.

All that changes when Celestia calls on him to defeat an evil force that threatens to tear Equestria to pieces. What's more, the only way to defeat this force is to travel over a thousand years into the past and prevent it from existing in the first place.

Things just got a bit more complicated for the dragon.

Leave it to Twilight Sparkle to create the greatest spell of the past century – and then want to destroy it.

It's too dangerous to use, she says. It's too tempting. It can't help you the way you think it can.

Well, Starlight Glimmer knows a thing or three about temptation. She'll prove to Twilight that this spell – this magnificent book – is too important to destroy. That it can help ponies.

She just has to survive using it, first.
