Twilight Sparkle has been imprisoned for the murder of King Sombra in retaliation to the murder of her own brother. Locked away in solitary confinement with no visitation for nearly half a year, Twilight begins to believe that she's all alone, that is until Rainbow Dash sneaks into her cell on Hearts and Hooves Day.

Based on real life events. Inspired by "Painkiller" as made famous by Three Days Grace, "Say it ain't so" as made famous by Weezer and "Behind Blue Eyes" as made famous by The Who. Dedicated to someone very special to me.

Edited by: Crystal Moose, and I can't even describe how grateful I am.

Story One of the upcoming Painkiller Series

Jai Young is 20 fresh out of his parents house and happy to be away from home. Moving out was the best thing he'd ever done with all of the constant fighting at home. Despite moving out and landing a pretty good job as a cook at an upscale restaurant he feels; out of place. The sense of displacement doesn't last too long though. One run in with an interesting old man however changes his relatively boring life and immediately flips it on its head. He wakes up in foreign land with magic he doesn't understand how to use, with a threat known to most history books in Equestria and the Crystal Empire unfolding in real time around him. Yea that's fine, he can make this work; He always has.

Tags are subject to change as I write the story!

This story is a sequel to What Will Make You Happy

Chrysalis plans to revive King Sombra so that they may rule all of Equestria together, but to bring him back she needs pieces of an ancient artifact scattered all across the farthest confines of Equestria.

However, to make sure there's no interference from the Elements of Harmony, Sombra gives Chrysalis some of his magic, which she uses to use the Princesses to stone, and capture both Twilight and Cadence, both pregnant with their respective husbands' babies. Chrysalis also kidnaps the Mane Six and and separates them into different parts of Equestria so that they won't rise up against her.

So it's up to Shining Armor, Discord, Screwball and Spike to rescue their wives, the Elements of Harmony, defeat both Chrysalis and Sombra, and change the princesses back to normal. However, Discord is haunted by nightmares and visions of Twilight dying at childbirth, and this stirs his worst fears of losing her, something of which Chrysalis and Sombra decide to take advantage of.

Will they get to the Elements in time?

This story is a sequel to Possession in the Crystal Empire

Private Iceland is recovering from his ordeal at the hooves of King Sombra, who possessed him and caused his current injuries. He still suffers nightmares and has trouble sleeping. He also longs for his favorite breakfast, pancakes. The dull tasting hospital food is not helping with that at all.

However, is he safe? Is he truly free from the pony that tormented him and his brother? He is in the middle of the Crystal Empire, with an active Crystal Heart, plenty of guards and an alicorn princess nearby. Is that enough to stop a very unscheduled, unexpected, unwanted visit? Especially if it's off hours?

A certain evil overlord doesn't think so.

Side-story in "Return of The Dark Ponies" story arc.

This one shot is marked as sequel to Possession in the Crystal Empire, as it is a direct follow up to that story.

Based on the movie and Netflix series the two pranksters George and Harold along with Captain Underpants get sent to Equestria after messing with Melvin's invention. In Equestria they have to stop an evil shadow king named Sombra or everything will be covered in darkness.

This story is a sequel to Anon’s a Villain and Wins

So, villainy was profitable the first time. Anon managed to wrangle up revenue from properties he owned, but due to how every pony was still a little pissed, they got some dope lawyers and kicked him out of the country. Thankfully, he’s still got his squad to back him up as he decides to come out of retirement and be a super villain in the Crystal Empire instead... that is, until some jackass tries to do it first.

This time around, there’ll be like, three chapters and an epilogue.
Warning: naughty no-no words.

Featured: January 7, 2021

In his pursuit to recreate a pleasure from home in Equestria, Anon lets ponies experience some of his memories. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

Their secret affair was always forbidden, yet at the same time, they were meant to be. Such a horrible paradox. This is the story of the beginning and the end of Princess Celestia's tragically perfect love life.

Comic spoilers btw
also don't ask how this happened 'cause i have no idea

When Spike and Twilight get into a fight with one another and Spike storms out, the town goes on a search party looking for the baby dragon. After days and no sign of Spike, Rainbow returns with an injury that could only have been inflicted by none other than Spike.

Realizing the futility in Twilight or her friends reasoning with Spike, Sombra takes it upon himself to find out why Spike was so upset in the first place.

Sombra could never have been prepared for the answer Spike was going to give him.

Side story to my multi-chapter SombraPie fic. SombraPie is included in this story, but to a minimal amount.

This story is a sequel to Retirement of a king

King Sombra has been officially retired from his villainous ways for over a month and still lives in the same house as Private Iceland and his friends. However, the newest addition to the house, Blue Axe, the son of Private and Dew, seems to like pouncing him, even if the colt is barely a month old.

Sombra is personally impressed by the colt's bravey, but Blue Axe's parents are a bit alarmed how aggressive their little boy behaves with the Master of Fear and Hate. How will Sombra end up dealing with this, or they themselves for the matter?

Or is it possible they are just overthinking things?
