Inspired by Steeling Her Resolve - Fimfiction this will be a good ending type of AU.

After Sombra's rule of both Equestria and the Crystal Empire, his Dark Magic transported the School from Land of the Lustrous near the outskirts of the Crystal Empire, which issued a threat between both Sombra's rule and the Gemstones.

Spinel, Phos, Bort, Diamond and the rest of the Gemstones now have to fight for, not for Equestria or the Crystal Empire, but their way to get back to their universe.

Bonus #4: "The main character’s name and identity is never mentioned."

The Cumulus. There's no finer mattress in the world. It's just like sleeping on a cloud, because that's exactly what you're doing. It just happens to be a cloud that's been saturated with pegasus magic, to the point where anypony (and anyone) can rest upon it. The support is perfect, the temperature ideal, and Rainbow would do a lot to own one -- except saving up for it, because that's clearly stupid.

But the company has a factory in Canterlot. One which just started offering tours to the public. So in theory, all she has to do is get in there, see how it's done, and then apply that to creating one herself. Getting locked in after hours wasn't part of that plan, but if you're going to be stuck anywhere at night...

A mare who loves sleep, and sixty of the world's best mattresses.

Welcome to one of the worst nights of Rainbow's life.

(Now with author Patreon, SubscribeStar, and Ko-Fi pages. The current Ko-Fi drive is for a new mattress. That is why this story exists.)

(The author is not subtle.)

This story is a sequel to Always Mine

She finally had the opportunity. After being summoned by the ancient Grogar, Chrysalis finally has a chance to get Starlight Glimmer for herself and she will not blow it. Meanwhile, Starlight herself has been receiving notes from an unknown source, Twilight has been worrying about losing her girlfriend, and Discord, Tirek, and Cozy Glow all struggle to believe what’s going on between Chrysalis and Starlight.

(I’m using the REAL Grogar, the Discord twist is not happening.)

This story is a semi-sequel to Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell (pdf)

Same continuity as The Queen of the Dark

Once upon a time, there was an evil enchantress called Prismia. Only one special little pony could stop her.

Sunburst flunked out of Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns and had little to aspire for before the Lunar Rebellion, but the new regime had plans for ponies like him. Former students of Celestia’s prestigious schools were offered jobs by the Lunar state, with Sunburst himself taking one of these offers up and finding himself working for the Imperial Institute of Arcane Sciences as a researcher and magic practitioner.

Yet on the job, Sunburst is told about what became of her old friend Starlight Glimmer. Out on the Equestrian periphery, his old friend preaches an ideology advocating the elimination of cutie marks and enforces this worldview on her followers through a dystopian system of control and manipulation. Upon hearing of it, Sunburst can barely believe it.

Then he's ordered to investigate Starlight by using magic he can barely pull off.

It can only go so well.

Takes place in my New Lunar Millennium alternate universe. Some original characters from the universe are featured, but no prior knowledge beyond the general concept is required to read. More information can be found here.

A few days after the events of 'Crusaders Of The Lost Mark', an apoplectic Spoiled Rich goes to Twilight to shout at her. A lot. This should be interesting... let's eavesdrop, shall we?
