In the midst of Ponyville being plunged into chaos, Twilight and her friends finally manage to use the Elements of Harmony for the first time, and in doing so successfully stop Discord from wreaking further havoc on the land they hold dear. Problem is, the way the elements do this isn't quite what they had in mind. At all.

(This is half-based on the Japanese Mythology)

Have you ever wondered who gave Celestia her ability to rise the Sun? Who gave Luna her dream walking ability? Long ago, way before Celestia's reign, her parents; King Cosmos and Queen Galaxia had made contact with those whom they called themselves 'Kami', and they each had magnifcent powers and unreadable potential. The Alicorns made a deal with the Kami, they would give some of their magic away for useful purposes while the Kami would shelter them as well as protection.

Then everything changed when the Eight-Headed Snake, Yamata no Orochi attacked the new land, both King Cosmos and Queen Galaxia were killed in the battle, the Kami were badly injured as well. Finally, Susanoo himself destroyed Yamata and sealed him away. The connection between the ponies and the Kami remained broken since then. However, the Kami granted the passed rulers' children parts of their power...

Thousands of years passed, the new land now known as Equestria were once again, sank into danger. Yamata no Orochi was reanimated by an unknown force and stole the Sun Goddess, Amaterasu's Flames from the center of the Sun; her greatest weapon. Yamata and his minions had now escaped into Equestria, with their limitation being there, Amaterasu send her assistance, a Demi-god she adopted many years ago, known as Black Fox, to retake the Flames of the Sun...

But the question is, can the Demi-god, and Equestria's newest Element welders, be the opponent of the God of destruction itself?

(A Japanese Mythology crossover, first time doing it. ;)

A mysterious creature was found in Canterlot. Twilight decided to discover which creature it is. Will this "new discover" creature welcome in Aquestria? Or its fate will be unseen?

Warning: The story from another timeline where Celestia and Luna are Twilight's student

After an existential journey goes wrong, a man finds himself in Equestria. With no way to return home he has no choice but to find a path in a new body. Will he discover a place to belong once again in this new land, or be forced to carve one out?

Hello, Readers. A very young Tempest Sabre goes to school, having been adopted by Sweet Potato, and not realizing who her mother really is...

This excerpt was taken from The Amulet of Shades, Chapter Four, but since it was initially couched as a flashback, it ended up detracting from the modern-day plot of the story. So, I am putting this up as an official side story, or back story, if you will, kicking off at this juncture. At it's first inception, all of the backstory from 1000 years ago was to be published as its own book with a full cast of characters. I may still do that, with this chapter as the jumping off point, but not before Amulet is finished first. Busy, and all that...

Keith, local human, happily wiles away some time by painting himself a picture with his imagination brush and the aid of some figurines, thinking that he is doing so in private.

He is not.

After taking the throne, Twilight had a lot of things to do - a transition that had never happened before was bound to be fraught with a thousand unexpected complications.

As part of the transition, Twilight finds herself going through Princess Celestia's old personal papers, finding secret after clue after instruction long forgotten about. And among those papers, Twilight finds a letter.

A letter addressed to My Faithful Student, Twilight Sparkle.

A letter never sent.

Now with an audio reading by StraightToThePointStudio!

This is a story of a group of friends, brought together in ways that none of them expected and how they saw much of the history that happened when they were around.
NONE of this is cannon, of course, but more of a different point of view from those that were there and feel like how the historians got it WRONG.

The tags are labeled as such for future chapters.

This story is a sequel to Dexter's Lab: Equestria

He was so sure Nightmare Moon wasn't real. He was so sure all the stories about Nightmare Moon were merely fabrications meant to induce fear in the ponies of Equestria, and insure their loyalty to the alicorns upon the throne. In fact, he was so sure Nightmare Moon didn't exist, he built a time machine to go back 1000 years and prove it.

Needless to say, this time-travelling colt genius bit off more than he could chew.

Now the 8-yr-old must survive the chaos of Nightmare Moon's uprising, forging unexpected alliances while learning to trust in the word of others. But unfortunately for him, Nightmare Moon isn't the only surprise in store for this colt.

This fic is a side-story to Dexter's Lab: Equestria. As requested by you readers, this story will be expand upon darker themes surrounding Luna's original descent into Nightmare Moon and the following events. - But expect a twist or two. This story was made separate to Dexter's Lab: Equestria because of it's darker themes and atmosphere. Reading of Dexter's Lab: Equestria (to chapter 11) is not required to enjoy this story, however it is strongly recommended as it will explain a lot (especially if you've never seen the Dexter's Lab TV show.)
