This story is a sequel to Sunset's Crowning Achievement

The last time Twilight saw Starlight Glimmer, she threatened to kill Rainbow Dash when she was just a filly and ruin Twilight's life by going back in time. Only, when she failed to find Starlight in the past and returned home, Equestria wasn't a ruined wasteland, Ponyville was a lot bigger than she remembered, and all these new ponies in the castle were talking about some big pony they call Empress.

In a sunburned Equestria, Rarity leads the pleasant life of a clothier in the tiny town of Spurhoof. She’s got a successful business, a capable assistant, and the respect of the place she’s called home for six years. Maybe she never achieved her foalhood dreams of fabulosity, but at least she’s comfortable. What more can a mare ask for?

Then a band of outlaws decide to pay Spurhoof a visit, and their leader’s eye has settled upon Rarity. Soon she’ll have to fight not only for her life, but maybe her very soul. Will her diamond turn dull under the hot Equestrian sun, or will adversity make her shine all the brighter?

A big thanks to my brainstorming fellow and ever-awesome friend SorenPixels, who has helped me ponder the plans for this story since its inception.

Additional kudos to Danger Beans and Cerulean Voice for their help with the first few chapters.

Big thanks to the fantastic author Viking ZX for taking time out of his busy schedule to be my Alpha pre-reader.

I was not prepared for the absolutely stunning world building or the incredibly well done characters. [...] This is a work of absolute art. — Equstarte Marine Sebaste

Reading and re-reading (and re-reading) this story was an amazing experience. It will always be one of my favorites! — Wanderer D

I dare say this is a masterpiece of the fandom. — FanOfMostEverything

It's a gorgeous, vivid-drawn setting you've crafted for this, and it hits its gritty Western beats and epic scope with aplomb. Rarity's character journey in this is a stellar one, and her gradual sink into (and recovery at the brink of) [...] darkness was wonderfully and believably told. — Carabas

A thousand three hundred and 37 years prior to the return of nightmare moon, there was a battle. Not a battle between armies, but between the forces of pirates and the early airships of ponies and griffins. In this battle, the griffins and ponies lost one of their largest battleships. But in it's defeat, brought upon a retaliation from the pony and griffin forces that fought the pirates out of their skies.

However, that was not the end of this airship... sit down and listen to the tale of the Ghastly skies.

hope yall enjoy a story i have been dying to write for a long time.

My Little Pony is now online, a fully instillation of the TV series as a MMORPG, designed for players to fully integrate themselves into the story, and their choices dictate the world's evolution, from characters, to new locations never seen before, and antagonist who are as real as their TV counterparts.

But when two brothers make a simple bet over the events of the game, along with a tiny bonus to their beginning, things will begin to break down at the seams, but is it really because of them, or has something else been playing God, because now no-one can log out of the game?

Note: Arc 1 is the set-up to the main story (Characters, mechanics). Also, 'Sex' tag for suggested themes. Also, do not read in Black Backgrounds due to some text types being darker

Art is not mine, obviously.

Sunset paused on the high balcony of Princess Twilight’s empty tower, catching her breath after all those stairs. Everypony was away setting up the Friendship Festival; the journal had been buzzing almost constantly with Twilight’s hastily scribbled one-line updates, ecstatic and anxious—until a couple of hours ago. The longer the sudden silence lasted, the more concerned Sunset became, until she hopped through the portal to see what was up. Her alicorn glowed as she fiddled Twi’s telescope into position for a look at the distant city clinging to the mountainside.

Canterlot was burning.

Takes place after CHS graduation—between seasons seven and eight.
