With the help of The Apparatus, Queen Twilight Sparkle had gained knowledge from innumerable divergent worlds. Using this newfound mystical power, she had conquered her world, united its varied peoples, and brought peace and prosperity to all through her own benignly neglectful rule.

Then Cadence, Princess of Love and the last of Twilight's family and friends, destroyed the Crystal Palace.

Along with everyone inside.

Why?

(Content Note: While the red tags are technically accurate, this is first and foremost a work of speculative fiction. It is not a gore fest.)

(Chronology Note: The crux of this tale takes place outside of continuity, in several of infinite possible futures. Its driftwood may touch upon any number of dimensional shores.)

A Queen of Light and Darkness story.

This tale was strongly inspired by Larry Niven’s All the Myraid Ways. Though I only read it once many years ago, it left a powerful impression on me, and you can definitely see that in this story.

Special thanks also to B_Munro, for recognizing the stories’ similarities and telling me who wrote that splendid story I’d read as a child, and what the name of it was.

Due to the nature of the discussion which follows this tale, there are comments - including mine - which may contain spoilers to varying degrees (depending on what you consider an actual spoiler). The more serious spoilers are behind the usual black boxes, of course.

Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship, is renowned across Equestria as being perhaps the greatest master of the arcane there could ever be. But Twilight herself knows that there is one pony who, despite not being an alicorn, has managed to successfully hold her own against her. So, despite years of friendship between them, Twilight decides that it's time she and her first student finally settle the question of who is truly the top mage.

This story is a sequel to A Duet For Land And Sky

There are certain requirements for herbivores, particularly when it comes to kitchen appliances. A few items wind up being used just about every day and in this case, the ancient piece was used until it broke. All Applejack has to do is find a suitable replacement for the old salad spinner. Something just about anypony should be able to manage with virtually no trouble at all.

Of course, the Bearers aren't just anypony...

Now with author Patreon and Ko-Fi pages.

This story is a sequel to Unpleasant Correspondence

Everything has come full circle and now it is Twilight who sends her protege to Ponyville. Needless to say, Luster isn't one bit happy about it. To make matters worse, Starlight's protege is made Vice-head mare of the School of Friendship and that only makes Luster angrier. Some of the story chapters will be much more adult themed.

Warning: Story includes incredibly crude language and adult themes that may be offensive to some....you've been warned!

Awoken at ten years old, Mystic remembers nothing about herself other than her name. Alone and confused, she will personally experience how the world, her choices, and the ponies in her life, could make her the pony she will become.

*Mild violence and gore, nothing explicit*

Fluttershy doesn't worry too much about the strange things happening to her. Coughing up a few petals can't hurt anypony, can it? Hiding an unrequited love won't kill you...will it?

A soul is forcefully put in an artificial body and now it must survive in a world filled with magic and technology.

If you leave a dislike please tell me why so I can fix it. Thank you.

Queen Chrysalis had returned, though not for long as a group of "secondary characters" as Discord would put it teamed up to defeat her, a former minion of the Queen's breaking the cycle by sharing love instead of taking it. The remaining changelings all followed the example of their comrade, reforming themselves and destroying the maddened queen's throne in the process. Isolated and effectively exiled from her own hive, the changeling queen fled, swearing vengeance upon the very pony that caused her isolation.

While the day had been saved, another mystery would soon uncover itself within the confides of the hive, one that could very well change the way the reformed changelings view the world as they know it, cause them to question what is real and what isn't.

All of this, because of a singular changeling mare, claiming she can see life itself.

Takes place during / after the Season 6 finale

((This is my first real attempt at writing a pony-based fanfiction, so any critique / help proofreading and such would be well appreciated~))

Everypony in the 60s wants a piece of Califawnia's promised dreams. On her way to the shining lights of the Trot of Fame, Pinkie Pie picks up a hitchhiker.

Ever since the changeling reformation, Coxa hasn't needed love to survive. That didn't stop it from being addictive.

First place in TheDriderPony's Music Meister's Musical Machwriting Meet on the speedwriting server, where it was conceived and written in 60 minutes.
