Twilight loves her friends, all 4 of them. The five ponies go on great adventures and enjoy spending time with one another. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this picture, or so, Twilight believes until she finds hard evidence to the contrary. What happened to her sixth friend? Why can’t Twilight remember?

The road to find the truth she seeks is dangerous and will both challenge and change her.

This story is a slightly reimagined sequel to Cupcakes by Sergeant Sprinkles. Having read this story is not necessary, but does help provide additional context.

Rated T for dark tones, dark imagery, and implications of violence.

EDIT 7/23/2023 - Edited chapter 1 to improve imagery and overall wording.

Starlight Glimmer knows what she has to do. A filly stuck in a stone statue for eternity can’t be a just punishment, not when she herself has been redeemed and shown the magic of friendship. Can Starlight Glimmer convince the Council of Friendship to free Cozy Glow?

The Storm King is gone, but all is not yet in harmony as a new threat of darkness comes out of the west. If contending with the harsh desert of the Zebhara wasn't enough our reluctant hero gets drawn in to larger events that may shape the fate of North Zebrica.

Chrysalis knew her new plan was perfect. After all, she already defeated Cadance once, and the weak alicorn was all that stood between the Queen of Changelings and the power inside the Crystal Heart.

But her plan was far from perfect, thanks to her own actions years ago. And now she would face the consequences of what she once did; consequences that threaten more then just her, as Cadance once again faces her old tormentor.

Rated Teen because Chrysalis is very much a sadistic monster, and Cadance is not going to take it well this time.

It has actually happened.

King Sombra, the merciless tyrant and dark sorcerer, now rules over the Crystal Empire. What's more, he is holding not only its royal family hostage but also the only six mares (and one dragon) that can stop him. What dastardly plan does the cold-blooded despot have in store? Why, a song, of course!

*A parody inspired by the song "Peaches" from the recent The Super Mario Bros. Movie

Spoiler: Contains Twibra and Sexy King Sombra

Suck it, Flashlighters!

The instant she appears in this world, things go wrong for Twilight Sparkle. Fortunately, Anon the veterinarian is there to save her, and during the recovery process, they find they quite enjoy each other's company. Eventually Twilight wants to make her way back home and Anon has a decision to make.

Meanwhile Celestia, thinking Twilight is in danger, ventures to earth to rescue her, only to encounter dangers of her own. Princess Luna has to figure out how to rescue both of them without abandoning Equestrian rule.

An anonymous letter has been sent to Princess Twilight Sparkle with grim news: one of the benches in the local park has been booby trapped! Said trap will trigger whenever the next pony to sit on it stands up.

Not a problem. No need to panic! All she has to do is get to the bench before anypony... sits... on it.

Oh, bother.

Just a silly idea that popped into my head. Written purely as a distraction from my usual projects, with no mind paid to whether it's, yknow, good.

Shadow Aura, living under a different name, researches infinitely in his immortality, far away, secluded, and illusioned to never be found again.

One day, Friendship touches the master mage's doorstep once more and he will never know the same world again.

This is a heavy rewrite of A Foolish Friend. Rewritten from the ground up.

Dame Georgia, a knighted noble of Vedina, visits her marefriend's home for the first time to meet her parents.

...All six of them.

The Great War is over, but not all is well at home. Equestria, though victorious, was devastated by the conflict. Equestria was dragged into the modern way of life, kicking and screaming, to build the guns and machines to fight the Changelings. In peace, the ponies of Equestria struggle to find their place in a world after the war.

In a small frontier town in the south, one hired farmer comes into town for repairs for his mechanical cotton picker and sits down to talk to an out-of-work pony. They reflect on how the town changed with Equestria's industrialization. If only they could keep the land, and if only the soil would stay on the ground.
