An escaped murderer stumbles into Twilight's library at night in order to stay in a lit area. She has to maintain close proximity to light in order to maintain control of the voices within her head that force her to commit atrocities. But when she's in the dark... there's no controlling them. For the first time in her life, she has friends, and struggles to keep her past hidden from them as well as maintaining distance from darkness.

Note: I don't know who did the artwork, but it was not I.

After being marooned on an icy world in unexplored space, Lumina must now face the perils of this frozen wasteland and search for some way home. But in this dark place, she discovers something that was lost to pony kind ever since the fabled Equestria sank into the ocean over 10,000 years ago. Something that will change her, and possibly the entire galaxy, forever.

Not a cross over, and not an alternate universe. This is the far future, and this has happened before.
