A thousand years is a long time to be alone in the darkness. But it wasn't the darkness that hurt Luna, no, the darkness was part of her. What hurt her was the fact that the pony whom she loved more than anyone else in the entire world... was the very one who banished her.

Darkness isn't an entity.

Darkness is merely an absence of light.

And if Celestia is the light, what does that make Luna?

Sweetie Belle believed this night would be the same as the others that she has lived, but the fact that a beloved one came to end her life ended up being the worst experience of her life...

...isn't that right, darling?

Raven was just walking down the hallway when she suddenly spawned in here.

Twilight, has unfortunately died. Thankfully, because she recently became an alicorn, she is easily revived. There is only one problem, for some reason, her soul won't come back to the land of the living. Fearing the worst, her friends embark on a journey into the Domain of the Dead to find out what happened.

As a budding diplomat, Flurry Heart often travels out of Equestria and into other dimensions. It's not uncommon for her to get stalled in the Between Place, but something is different this time. Someone else is here.

Tagged as “Mystery” because even though the audience knows Sunset Shimmer, Flurry sure as Tartarus doesn’t.

This is an entry in the Snippet Series, an anthology of old oneshots that I (and my good buddy Str8aura) wrote based around interesting pics I found. New ones will be posted every other Thursday for the foreseeable future.

This story is a sequel to Nier: The Last Human

Sunset was brought out of her long sleep and found herself in a post doomsday world. Her sole mission is to prevent humans from going extinct.

This story is a sequel to Up Through the Roots

"State your name, please."

"Sunset Shimmer."

"Age?"

"18."

"Real age?"

*sigh* "24."

"Do you know why we called you here today?"

"Because more Equestrian magic's on the loose."

"That is correct."

"Alright, I'll see what I can do. Where is it?"

"Everywhere, Miss Shimmer."

Continuity: The Song of the Spheres

Daring Do! The two of them go on a quest to retrieve the Golden Book, and unravel its mysteries.

A huge, Jupiter-sized thank you to Rainbowfan45 for ideas.

In the Equestia criminal justice system, the creatures are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: The police who investigate crime, and the district attorneys, who prosecutes the offenders. These are their stories.

Swift Justice runs a very professional courtroom. His eyes glare at the offenders in the defendant seat with just the right amount of intimidation, and he has no qualms about telling them to sit down and shut up if they dare to speak out of turn. His judgement is swift and unavoidable, matching each crime with exactly the right amount of harshness it deserves.

However, in spite of all that-

One could hardly call this a "normal" courtroom.

There are days when even Swift Justice is completely floored by the very unusual cases presented to him. But then again, should he really be so shocked, considering who Ponyville's Law Officer is?

After hearing a haunting melody for weeks on end, Rainbow Dash flys far east from Equestria, making a journey she has to make.
