For over a millennia, Nightmare Moon has always wanted to have attention. She was never satisfied with how the ponies frolicked in the day, yet slept through her night. She desired their love, their undying attention, their respect, and their servitude to none other than herself.

When she got it...she quickly learned how much of a chore it was to live in the limelight, the universal dream.

A lone pony sits by the beach.

She does not speak, for she had nobody to speak to. She only thinks, wondering how things would be if they could have gone better. If she had been better.

entry for tropical post-apocalypse contest

focuses more on the 'post-apocalyptic' than the 'tropical'. Just in case.

Thanks to Zalmax for pointing out some errors

Rainbow Dash was punished for a racist attack. Twilight has an epiphany.

I wrote this story as a sequel to that one. But it can be read as a standalone story.

I'm just silly and like to fool around

Ali and Sean had been the best of friends for eight long years, but when a bad car accident takes Ali away from Sean, he wallows in guilt and grief for two years. One fateful day, however, a strange portal opens in Sean's room, taking both Sean and the spirit of Ali to Equestria. Ali is now flesh and bone, and Sean can't believe it. Can they get back home? Will Ali be alive if they go back? They embark on a great quest to find a way to get back, however, meet a few monsters and friends along the way. Will they go home, or is Equestria going to become their home? Will they survive? Will they meet a gruesome end? Will I ever stop asking these questions? Who knows! Find out in this thrilling adventure of two humans in a world of multi-coloured lastel ponies!

Five years have passed since the ponies of Ponyville fled their home in Equestria from a puzzling apocalyptic event. A plush tropical island discovered by Twilight Sparkle has been their refuge, but leaving Equestria only created more questions than answers. Luster Dawn is determined to find out what is really happening back home, as well as on this mysterious island. But, with a bit of help, she may just discover something even more disturbing than the idea of never going home.

Anonymous and Lyra's happy life--to be honest, I really want to taunt him.

To be cast out is one thing.. but to be left out alone in the world without a will or reason to live can kill anypony or changeling. Follow the adventure of this changeling and friends to discover what it really means to be damaged…

This will have brief sex later but it will not be very explicit.

The suicide tag will be massively involved as in thoughts and desires.

Violence and profanity will be pretty chill

After finding Sunset Shimmer's old journal, with hundreds of pages to spare, one Solace Sheen is inspired to record all that has happened since the day the Earth turned silent.

He meets those who know Sunset Shimmer, whether personally or by proxy. She and her friends are missing, whose siblings are dreading what might have happened. But they also remain hopeful that their loved ones are someplace safe, and far from this world of quiet terror.

Either way, it will take every miracle given them to last long enough and fight these violent creatures from unknown regions of space. So long as they remember to hold onto each other, without succumbing to demonic temptations, or their own wounded humanity.

Sunset Shimmer failed as a pupil of Celestia– The shadows took advantage of her ambitions and the darkness within, and twisted her into a demon.

…And then Twilight Sparkle, saved her. If only she had known Twilight was the newest pupil of Celestia, her replacement, the living proof of all her failures, before she made a paladin pledge to serve and protect her as a life debt.

A conflict of interest, there. Her guilt, her shame, and her regrets, direct her to be as far away from her past as possible. And her debt to Twilight, her desire to repay her for being saved by her, and even her admiration to her replacement keep her close from all of the things that make her feel weak.

…And now that Twilight became an Alicorn, she realizes she needs a fucking break.

This is an illegitimate prequel to the Princess and the Peasant, due to it being set on the same universe, but at an earlier time frame to that fic! Though it's only a prequel, it's fully related to that story, as you might expect. There will be few references, but it's very much a stepping stone to more being done on that universe!

The Blueblood dynasty have been ruling for centuries, now Emperor Blueblood XV has sent Twilight Sparkle to retrieve the crown of Empress Celestia, a mare of ancient myth who's crown is rumored to hold immense power and grant the wearer unstoppable strength.

Twilight Sparkle, with the help of her five friends and a trusted professor from Canterlot School for Gifted Unicorns believe to have located a cave which Empress Celestia's crown rests deep inside. Unfortunately for them, the crown is not the only thing that rests within the cave and what was supposed to be a simple artifact recovery turns into something much more perilous as they awaken something they likely shouldn't have.
