Nightmares.

We all have them.

Even Nightmare Moon herself has them.

But how does she handle her own name being used for something so vile? Something painful, pointless, and cruel. Which forces you to rise from rest in sobs and heart break.

And worse, who could ever love a nightmare?

My first posted story, one shot between human and Nightmare Moon. Kisses for all!!!

If not, do nothing, look away, forget about this story and never return. Otherwise, there will be blood!

We see Twilight and her friends as a happy group of friends from every part of the spectrum, but we also know that they all have dreams. Rainbow and the Wonderbolts, Applejack and her farm, Rarity and Canterlot -- they all have something that they're aiming for, but what would happen if they became who they've always wanted to be? There wouldn't be a lot of time left for their friends, especially if each of them were cities away from the others.

Saddened by their departures, both transpired and imminent, Twilight makes a difficult decision that even she may not understand, and she lets each of her friend's know about what she plans to do.

Mare-Do-Well is captured. Canterlot has gathered to witness her end. What will come of this one lone filly's last stand?

1000 years ago the valiant and most holy god, lord Ahuizotl, vanquished the tyrant Nightmare Moon and the pony scourge of her 1000 armies of Equestria and delivered Equus from the eternal darkness. In his infinite generosity he saw fit to give Equus the light of the sun and to come down from his celestial throne to establish his most divine Empire of Talicon, to spread peace and order throughout Equus. His chosen people, the Felis, were returned to their rightful place as peacekeepers of the realm. In his infinite mercy he allowed the Gryphons, Minotaurs, and even the sinners, the unworthy ponies, their place in his utopia.

1000 years have passed since. The blighted, cursed ponies, the bringers of calamity, continue to live with their heads hung low, harnessed and blinkered, in service of the greater good. But a strange new affliction spreads amongst them. Mysterious markings appear on their flanks. Most call it a curse, the sign of the twin devils of Nightmare Moon and Celestia. But a few embrace it as a gift. They call themselves the 'Cutie Mark Crusaders', lead by the seemingly immortal hero, Mare-Do-Well.

This is the story of one Cutie Mark Crusader, and how her end became the beginning of many.

One-Shot. Written to the tune of 'Heroes' by the Aviators

Friendship is a song. Love is a song. Death is a song. Grief is a song. Together, they blend with perfect harmony, though they can hurt at times. Losing a loved one is hard, but music can lift the spirits of the saddest.

I will always love you, Octavia.

This story is a sequel to So You Escaped From Limbo

Star Swirl, Stygian, and Rockhoof say goodbye to one of their oldest friends.

Of course, they also have a few things to say to each other.

A follow-up to "The Beginning of the End."

_{Note: The prequel is not required reading for this story.}

On one starry night Princess Luna stares at the stars in her beautiful sky. She had suffered what most ponies can never dream of. Banishment, pain, sorrow, hate, anger, all those emotions all at once.

Princess Luna is still not treated as Celestia, no, she is still feared, still hated, and still ignored. But Luna can only just stare at the skies and wish for someone like her.

Who knew Applejack would be the one?

When Discord ruled Equestria, he tortured many. A huge number have suffered because of him. Even the famous ones.

Vinyl Scratch suffered in silence, but Octavia suffered in endless sound. Isn't it ironic that one's been told and the other wasn't?

Set in the POV Universe and kinda intended to be a prequel to this.

This story is a sequel to Seashell

I never thought I would see the Seawall again. Fate, though, seems to enjoy odd twists. Thirteen years ago, it was roses. Now it's feathers. Somehow they've both brought me back to this place, back to the edge of the world to where I really belong most of all.

My name is Sunburst, and as a guard of Princess Twilight, her student Azure Sky is both one of the ponies I protect and my friend. I watched her grow up. I, and everypony else, thought we knew exactly where she was headed in life. It seemed so obvious - how could the personal student of a princess have anything but the brightest of futures? We were all so sure.

What did we really know?

A happy life, a good life, can't be built on a lie. The heart of a unicorn and the heart of a pegasus are different things in some ways, but in the ones that really matter, they're the same. Nopony can endure the misery of an existence devoid of real meaning in their hearts, going through empty motions they feel nothing for, dead on the inside. I think all ponies, deep down inside where it counts, are the same in this way. That's what Azure and I needed to learn, here on the edge of the world, so that I could help her share the things she so desperately needed to find a way to give voice to.

I always did a LOT of stupid things, but you always forgave me.
No matter what happens, you were always by my side,
protecting me,
supporting me,
and most of all,
loving me...
