”We all must bear our burdens, but though we keep moving forward, we also must never forget what we left behind so that we may learn from it.” --- Princess Luna

For centuries, scholars have theorized that it was Luna’s jealousy over Celestia’s power that made the younger princess rebel. These same scholars then wrote the very history books that foals read to this day, a thousand years later. Few, however, knew the full truth.

Luna’s fall was not some nation-wide rebellion, nor was it some jealousy-fueled tantrum. The truth was far more shameful and cruel. It had indeed been Celestia’s fault, but not for the reasons that history said it was.

And so, on this cold and somber night, Celestia remembers the day of her greatest folly.

Sanctaphrax, the city of knowledge. Wherever there's a question, there you can find the answer.

For the right price.

Unlike most of the citizens of The Ivory Island, the Admiral doesn't concern herself with economics. Her wealth comes in knowledge and the never-ending struggle to pull the future into the present. As long as she has the bits to keep Algol's Shadow running and its crew fed, she dives, and Sanctaphrax pay is more than enough.

When a routine salvage job leads to a discovery that could change the way the world sees the sunken ruins of Equestria forever, she can't help but get a little excited. She can hear the future knocking, just another dive away. The very stars themselves might as well be in her grasp.

This story takes place in the world of Goldenwing's story Empty Horizons, but it can be read without context.

This story is a sequel to Falling to my end

Silent Night, a human turned pony who fell from the sky. He just wants a quiet life, but its anything but that. Having an obsessive stalker and an entire clan of ponies after him are a few examples. Getting rendered unconscious often doesn't make things better.

After the events of the last story Silent hoped his life would be uneventful here on out, but no, fate had other plans. After becoming Twilight's guard by Princess Luna due to his resemblance to her son long ago. He soon finds out why by being reverted into a foal and being dropped into the past... on his face.

Now he must live in this different time as, Lunar, the son of Luna. Will he find a way back to his own time or will he meet his end? Having dreams of dying isn't helping either. All he does know is that he will find out why Lunar disappeared. Until then, maybe he can make some friends on the way.

The State of Chiropterra had existed in isolated secrecy for a thousand years. Descended from the most loyal Legions of Nightmare Moon, they employed extreme measures to survive on a hostile continent, relentlessly preparing for the night of their Empress's glorious return.

But now their historic task is complete, Nightmare Moon sits undisputed upon the Equestrian throne, and Chiropterra's fate in the New Lunar Millenium is to be decided.

Amongst it all, the Equestrian General Selenite had befriended two Chiropterrans from opposite ideological persuasions, the hardline conservative Auburn Leaf and the moderate reformist Lucent Eclipse. As Chiropterra's future hangs in the balance, so does their relationship.

Takes place in my New Lunar Millennium alternate universe. More information can be found here, but no prior knowledge of my AU is required to read this story.

Quick Wits always wanted to join the royal guard ever since the first time he went on a trip to the royal training grounds back when he was just a young colt still in school. Unlike most, he wants to join the Night Guard.

This story is a sequel to Dashie and the Juniorbolts

This story takes place right after the Episode "Bats!"

Fluttershy has been turned into a baby bat pony under mysterious circumstances. Luckily for her, she was adopted by a family of bat ponies who care for her like one of their own. The bad news is Fluttershy lost the ability to talk and is now miles away from her home, so unless she wants to be a bat pony forever, she'll have to find a way to make it back to Ponyville and find Twilight.

Sweet Pepper knew she was fine, that her friend would keep her safe. Sweet Pepper knew she wasn't alone, but she had a sinking feeling that all was not right.

The city itself is the same. The buildings and streets remain untouched and unscathed by what happened. The population wasn't so fortunate. As far as I have been able to tell, they are all gone now with no hints as to how, why, or where they are. Only the empty city.

I'm still here, however. Whatever end happened, I missed it.

If only I were so fortunate to say 'I fared as well as my city'. I'm still here in the suburbs of my empty city, but I'm far from the same as I was. The Limestone City might be unchanged, but I have been left with new hooves to walk on.

I have no intentions of letting an unknown tell me it's the end.
