It's been twenty-five years since the so-called "Final Battle for Equestria". The three-pronged head of the villain cabal that nearly took the kingdom down, Cozy Glow, has been awake the entire time, feeling every second trapped inside a statue in her dishonor. All she wants is revenge.

Flurry Heart was only a baby during the events that led to Cozy's demise. Ever since she had the ability to read, she was perplexed by the nonsensical actions and motivations of this little filly. Why did she do what she did? Why was she punished so? The curiosity was too much.

The dusty old books in the Crystal Empire tell her nothing. But an idea creeps into her mind. What better way to find out than to ask Cozy Glow directly? What's the worst that could happen?

When the pegasi lose their feathers, they also lose the ability to walk on clouds. The answer to 'why' is lost to time. The real question is... what happens to Cloudsdale?

The year nears its end, but the war seems to stretch on forever. General Winter has sided with Sombra, and morale runs low among most Equestrian forces. Hearth's Warming seems like a bitter joke.

But a mare has come to the front from Canterlot, and she's brought one Tartarus of a present.

Inspired by KnightMysterio's take on the Nightmare-Timeline in the story Context

The Princess of the Sun has fallen, the Queen of the Night now takes her place.

To the surprise of many, Nightmare Moon isn't evil. Or insane for that matter. She is attempting to be a queen that can properly rule a nation she has not seen in a thousand years. Some will try to aide her, others will attempt to thwart her, but the Wrath of the Night is something not to take lightly.

However, Celestia may have made a mistake in letting Luna fade from history and the only mention of Nightmare Moon become a demonized fable- no one would take that very well in her place.

Features: Twilight reluctantly helping a Sane and Noble NMM, curious and confused guards, and ponies being reminded of their lost history.

Sunset Shimmer has hated Cadance since before they even met. After working her tail off for so many years as Princess Celestia's personal protégé, striving for perfection and aiming to eventually earn a royal title of her own, to have some random, two-bit nopony fall out of the sky and steal her crown felt like a kick to the horn.

So you can imagine Sunset's absolute delight when Princess Celestia assigns her to be Cadance's private magic tutor.

While at first it seems like some cruel punishment, Sunset quickly sees a golden opportunity. If she does this right, she might stand to gain far more than a mere grade.

After Fluttershy threw a tantrum in Ponyville's marketplace, Rarity invited her over for some good old girly gossip. The Fluttershy that turns up on her doorstep, however, is absolutely not the one she was expecting. Somefilly has a secret and Rarity isn't above using a few tricks to find out what it is.

"I swear, there is stuff going on in this story that is beyond my level of comprehension. Not to mention that calling the characterization merely show-accurate is doing it a disservice—it somehow seems to reach into a tier of super-canonical character clarity. So yes, you will enjoy this."

(HiE Fic)

When children were at the age where they worried whether their mother's home-cooked lunch will impress their friends, August was back home writing his thesis on plant cloning and recombinant DNA. By the age of eight, he was patenting his own invention- a machine which could detect spatial rifts from across the galaxy. And by the age of nine, he was nominated as a possible candidate for the Nobel Prize of Medicine. His talent in science was recognized world-wide and acknowledged by multiple science agencies. They funded his projects and companies competed for the papers he produced. Expectations were laid out and people started to believe that he was a glimmer of hope who could reach the limits of science.

August on the other hand, couldn't care less. Whether or not people showered him with praises, or if his work was accepted as a basis for a fundamental aspect of a scientific field, it didn't matter. He did what he did, and there was nothing more to it. For him, scientific discoveries were about as valuable as apple pie, nothing more, nothing less.

That is, until that fateful day when the "rift detector" goes off and a rip in the fabric of the universe was located a few blocks away from his house.

On that fateful day, August found something he was willing to die for.

He found Twilight Sparkle.

Chapters are long, but that's because I find it hard to place worthy content in a span of 1000-2500 words.

Lastly, here's a quote from some guy

Hey look! it's that story again with humans and portals!

Announcement: I will be releasing the chapters by Arcs and not...well... chapters. Ill release a fulls storyline everytime I update. That does not mean that I will release for example Arc 2 in one day. I will release the chapters per day once I have completed the whole arc.
This is so that there are nor cliffhangers because everyone knows how much crap a cliffhanger does to your—

Apple Bloom and the rest of the Crusaders originally created Anon-a-Miss to frame Sunset Shimmer by posting embarrassing secrets about her sister and her friends so they can kick Sunset out of the group so Apple Bloom can spend more time with her sister. But after Apple Bloom got what she wanted, she actually felt... torn, mostly guilty for what she did to her sister and to Sunset Shimmer. And then things were spiraling out of control in school as students were fighting each other as more secrets were posted online.

During the chaos on school grounds, Apple Bloom hid in the class room, lamenting about her past actions. While she was deep in thought, she was suddenly visited by an unexpected visitor.

This is a one shot Anon-a-Miss story.

FEATURED: 8/1/18 - Wow! Thank you all so much everypony!

While vacationing in. Vanhoover, Twilight and her friends discover an orphan colt named Card Trick. He gets by performing card tricks and scams and doesn't like forming connections with anyone. He refuses to share his past with them and avoids heartfelt talks by messing with them using his magic and non-magic tricks, stealing and pranks. A bad combination for a stony pony.

Card Trick knows they will give up on him eventually so he may as well make the most out of it. Plus, he now has access to a lot of books that can drastically improve his skills. Then there’s the laboratory full of scientific goodies. The things he could do with it all. It’s like Hearthswarming morning.

Twilight, however, has never shied away from a challenge. Even if the colt gives them plenty reason to send him back to Vanhoover. She sees Card Trick is extremely gifted with magic and intelligence. He just needs to learn how to use it for the better rather than using it against his fellow pony. She just hopes he doesn't grow into a stallion they have to stop.

This story will be similar to ANON, but Card Trick is full pony and a lot more trouble.

This story is a sequel to Ranger

Can Lightning dust make it to Manehatten? Shane had put his trust in her, and she would not let him, or the Rangers down!
