Everyone in Equestria knows the story of King Sombra. A unicorn whose heart was black as night, who took over the Crystal Empire, before he was ultimately overthrown, turned to shadow, and banished to the ice of the Arctic North. Though not before he was able to curse the Empire, and cause it to vanish for a thousand years. Exactly one thousand years later, the Crystal Empire returned, bringing King Sombra back with it. Though merely a shadow of his former self, Sombra sought to reclaim the Crystal Empire for himself. But thanks to the efforts of a certain purple dragon, and princess of love, he was thwarted and destroyed. However, years later, he was resurrected to join a vile legion of doom. He refused, and set off on his own. This time, however, after his conquest of the Empire was thwarted once again, King Sombra struck the ultimate blow to his enemies.

He destroyed the Tree of Harmony.

But when the ponies who represent the elements realized the magic of friendship was already inside them, they used that power to return Sombra to the Aether from whence he came. That was the final end of The Shadow King in the world of Equestria. But what of King Sombra from another world?

What if King Sombra existed in the world of Equestria Girls as a powerful, and evil monarch who rules his Kingdom with a fist of iron and shadow? How did this come to pass? What made this version of King Sombra what he is today? Join us as we delve into the history of this world's Shadow King, and learn how he came to rise, conquer and reign over his domain.

(Note that this will be purely a narrative storytelling experience due to the age of this fanfiction.)

It is never said where the famous CEO of Barnyard Bargains gets his immense wealth. The official records state that he is simply an incredibly savvy business mogul, with a keen eye for how stocks will go, and what needs to hit the markets at the right time. It's no different than Rarity's keen fashion sense, it says.

Rumors, however, say that all his wealth comes from previous generations, that he was simply born into wealth instead of accumulating it himself. Some say that it was his late-wife that had all the money, and that he had his name changed to reflect his new-found yet unworthy status. Others say that he is only the front-man--a figure head--for the real man behind the famous department chain and all its subsidiaries.

The real reason behind his wealth is much darker.

And Diamond Tiara wants to be like her father in every way.

In 2058, the world hummed with an undercurrent of technological marvels. A lonely Alex Roberts found himself out of step with that world. He will find joy with a new old friend.

This is a story answering the question, what if Alex Roberts, from "The Memoirs of a Reality Jumper", had never jumped? This story is a completely stand-alone story; you don't need to read Memoirs to follow this story.

This is a complete rewrite of “Love Will Find a Way”.

Years have passed and the citizens of Ponyville have begun to settle down into routines and growing families. Applejack soon begins to reconsider her relationship with Rarity, all the while also dealing with a bigger Apple family, struggling to keep everypony all together.

The story pretends that only season one actually happened, also giving Big MacIntosh a son.

Feedback is appreciated, as brutal as it needs to be.

A couple of dejected people meet at a fancy hotel, and become disillusioned with their love lives.

Written around 2015 in greentext, just now got around to converting it to prose. It's an earlier work, so it can be rough at times.
