This story is a sequel to The Fall of Twilight

After Twilight was banished due to false accusations, she fled to a remote town by the name of Grazil. A few weeks have passed since she was banished, and it looked like she would never return home.

But thanks to Pinkie and Chrysalis, they have helped her get back to Ponyville in one piece. But, there's something wrong with the place she once called home.

Her friends are missing, and she fears that there is something beyond her power to beat.

The first trotters, exploring the Long Trot, had found no trace of modern pony away from Prime. Certainly, there were some stone tools, fossilized remains of hearths in the depths of caves, and even a few equine bones. But there was no great gallop forward: no cave paintings, no burial mounds, no cities, no technology. The spark of Harmony must have been lit behind millions of protopony brows on a million worlds, just as on Equestria Prime, but it hadn't caught anywhere else.

There were equinoids out there, descendants of lost cousins of pony-kind, but ponies knew they would never encounter another creature that was anything as smart as they were. Never something that could speak Equuish, for example.

The only thing wrong with this generally accepted picture was that it was totally incorrect.

Though daytime I do disappear
At night I'm always present, near
Your magic does naught
To keep me at bay
But all the while
I won't go away
Though try as you might
To ensure I'm gone
While we're in the night
You're never alone.

To Applejack, magic is a fickle thing; she's chosen to bear an Element of Harmony one day, and the next she's scratched by something while exploring a cave. What will she find of this lost magic and was it really lost or did somepony try to hide it?

Whatever it is, Applejack's going to find out.

Starlight is a Crystal Pegasus from a long line of thieves. They always travel, never staying in one place for more than a a few weeks, and she learns everything about the world from them.
When her parents are arrested, she is adopted by a mare she's known for a couple of days. Time goes on. She stays in the same home, the same bed, for over more than a month, and ponies seem to be warming up to her. But how much change can one filly handle?

This takes place a five years after the canon, so all characters are a little older and some got in relationships between then and now.
((There also is semi-implied child abuse in the first chapter(bruises and scars implied to be made by her parents). I'm putting that here because the rating button doesn't have that option))

Octavia and Vinyl have been together for fourteen years, but her DJ has been distant of late. When she finds out why, can she find the strength to help her?

(I am so sorry for this)

Sunset was just trying to show the school that she was reformed. What easier way to do that than by giving a tour to new students? After she shows three new students -- who act very strangely around her -- around, she begins to wonder if there's something more to those three when she keeps bumping into them left and right.

Inspired and expanded upon of Wubcake's first Rainbow Rocks parody.

Thanks once more to my awesome friend and pre-reader, AShadowOfCygnus for getting to this so quickly.

Cover image done by me, since I couldn't find any good cover art for this, and I also love Aria's line in the video.

Alternate universe tag for the fact that the Dazzlings aren't evil, amongst other things.

Big Mac and Cheerilee are happily married. Or so it would seem. Applejack just can't shake the feeling that something is off.

One day, Scootaloo asks Rainbow Dash where she got an ultra-rare autographed Wonderbolt Captain Nighthawk uniform. So, Rainbow sits Scootaloo down and tells her the story which also coincides with the birth of her legendary confidence and one of the saddest days of her entire life.

Octavia comes home frustrated one evening. Vinyl cuddles with her to make it better. Short, sweet, silly.

Rainbow Dash has a secret.
Not even Fluttershy knows about this one.

Her secret could ruin her reputation as a cool and awesome mare. But, one day, Twilight Sparkle somehow figures it out. What happens when she does? Will she become 20% LESS cooler?
