One timeline after another, Twilight and Spike are thrown into a world of Starlight's morbid machination. Another tragic end to Equestria, another circumstance of failure.

The frigid wind does little to ease Twilight's thoughts as a simple question plagues her mind:

"What happened here?"

Here are 36 pony limricks. All of them suck.

Twilight Sparkle is a very gifted unicorn filly. At her entrance exam for Celestia's school, she sees a flash of the future, a vision, a spell, and it bursts from her horn unwittingly, rippling across Equestria at the same time as the Sonic Rainboom, unknowingly altering destiny for five other ponies. Years later, when she is told to move to Ponyville, she realizes something is terribly wrong.

On a late morning in ponyville, the inhabitants of the Castle of Friendship wake up long after the sun rises to make a startling discovery; Spike had inexplicably transformed into an Alicorn! Even stranger, nopony seems to remember anything about the previous day at all, to understand what had caused such a thing to occur.

Thanks to my darling cousin Leviathan and one of my best friends, silent_user, for getting me to write pony fanfiction.

And also silent_user, for unrelentingly pestering me until I gave it cover art, because I wasn't going to.

At some point, Flash Sentry began to have memories of being a hunter of heroes from another world named Garou. Now with the skills from his past life, he tries to live like a normal teenager.

Larry the Cable Guy, Jeff Foxworthy, and Bill Engvall are just three good ole boys who are trying to have a good time at the Grand Equestria Pony Summit. However, all that could change when Spike asks them for their help. This fanfiction is a retelling of the MLP episode, “Princess Spike.”

Nightmare Moon was defeated and Princess Luna has been redeemed. The Two Sisters are reunited and Equestria now has not one, but two Princesses.

In the depths of her new home called the Golden Oaks Library, Twilight reflects on the mystery of the Night Sky Stars and why they choose to help Nightmare Moon escape from her prison.

Contains: The thoughts of a bus passenger coalesced into a barely-readable story. All canon information in the story has been taken from Season 1 and nothing after that has been included. Takes place after the Series Premiere.

Dust and Harmony is a familiar story re-imagined in a western world called Dust.

Spike has just turned 18 (in pony years) he is now considered an adult. Normally Spike would be happy due to the occasion, until Twilight tells him the bad news. Spike feels that something strange is happening, like things aren't what they should be.

This takes place before season 4.

This story is a sequel to Queen No More

Twilight Sparkle made the most foolish and selfless decision possible. She saved the life of Queen Chrysalis. The dynamics of Twilight's relationships begin to change as Chrysalis introduces the changeling hivemind to her pony caretaker. Chrysalis' only hope was to relieve her loneliness, but events begin to unfold that will change Equestria forever.

Nothing is stronger than the power of redemption...

NOTES
1. This is the sequel to Queen No More but there is a time jump between its end and Hive Alive's beginning.
2. This is Alternate universe due to the fact that this story will run off of a disparate timeline. Events forward of season 2 may be similar OR significantly altered.
3. There is mention in Chapter 3 of an old changeling tale titled As a Star. A version of this has been written by Farseer.

NO MORE UPDATES: The story is complete. A sequel has been made: Queen of Equestria.
