EDIT JUNE 2025: Long time no see! I'm in the process of rewriting this (eventually, I've moved away from the hyperfixation of it) and still plan on finishing it at some point. This has been my passion project since I started high school (and I graduated in 2021!) so it definitely still holds a special place in my heart! Check back later for more updates!

~we were just friends before, but we discovered something more~

To think that a pony can go from enemy to more than friend in a matter of a month is mind-blowing. Especially for this mare.

Fizzlepop Berrytwist, formerly Tempest Shadow, has been promoted by Princess Celestia to be Twilight Sparkle's personal royal guard, after she risked her life to save Twilight's. It's been the best month of her life so far. But in this time, Fizzlepop has learned a new side of Twilight; the comforting, friendly side. And she has a massive crush on her now. But how should she confess? And more importantly, how would Twilight respond?

Twilight Sparkle is overjoyed to have a new guard, and especially a new friend. But recently, she's felt a happy, tingly feeling inside that she can't quite explain. And it only happens around Fizzlepop.

Takes place 1 month after the events of the movie, in the universe where Fizzlepop gets promoted to Twilight’s royal guard directly after the movie.

EDIT(10/2/19): I’m making a sketched comic for this story on my side account on Instagram, @Flofmoofin! If you enjoyed this story, feel free to check out how it looks drawn! I haven't worked on this in awhile, I should redo it at some point.

A newcomer shows up with motivations from unknown to all. His quest for Vengeance and Justice drives him to attack just when the heroes are about to win. He seeks something he has lost and will do anything to gain it back.

Is he the villain or the hero, you decide if his actions are worthy of his motives.

The CMCs are instead the ones to rally the three pony races, and the ponies gather in the one place all three races come together in peace...Ponyville. They must formulate a plan using every asset they have. Including other species

A teenage girl who has been living on the streets her whole life, steals the bag of a rich woman only to get pushed out of the building. She tried to escape into an alleyway only to be shot by the police but before the police could apprehend her a strange magical metal arm appears that will change her life forever.

Takes place in the Canterlot Adventures

In the early years of her service to King Sombra, Tempest Shadow sought to use his resources to fulfill her quest for revenge on those she felt responsible for her disfigurement.

Now, nearing a decade later, with her body almost half replaced by Professor Midnight's (SciTwi) cybernetics, she begins to doubt her convictions.

All that is about to change...for in recognition of her devoted service leading his ground forces and ensuring all of the Eastern Empire remains under his heel, King Sombra brings to her the two she has sought all these years.

As Tempest confronts her childhood friends over the past she was sure she remembered properly, she may just find that revenge is not as sweet as she had hoped...

Part of the MetaVerse

Trixie travels the roads of Equestria frequently. Throughout her adventures she has learned how to defend herself against various creatures and thieves. This particular encounter is a little more than she's used to dealing with, but there's another pony she crosses paths with that is willing to lend a hoof.

Tempest has been invited to stay at Twilight's castle after several months of not very much under heavy watch in Canterlot. Keen on the idea of getting out, she accepts. The one problem: After invading, and then spending quite a bit of time away from society, everypony is a bit anxious about her presence.

Once she arrives in Ponyville, Tempest is much less sure of herself. Sure, she's out, but what now? Will she ever be able to get a meaningful place in life? And what about her lack of cutie mark?

Timeline of alterations:
2/7/2019: First published. Yay!
15/6/2020: Somewhat reworked in an attempt to continue the story. Not much happened afterwards.
9/6/2023: Progress behind the scenes. Massive reboot coming up in the vauge and distant future.
12/6/2023: All currently published chapters rewritten and new chapters on the way. Changes will be published when the story is complete.
24/9/2023: Progress is slower but the story has not been forgotten.

Inspired by a Tumblr post here, about what would happen to the show if Twilight Sparkle was killed off and Tempest Shadow introduced in her place.

I made the first chapter of this story as an entry in More is Less, but since getting ideas for new additions to the world, and not feeling like they all properly fit the mold of that anthology series, I have decided to put them into this story.
This is still, on some level, an anthology, but all the events are related and I’m just looking into them at different points, akin to a normal story but with more time between chapters.

After The Storm King successfully conquered the lands and the cities of Equestria, he and his second-in-command Tempest Shadow gained all the magic of the alicorns with the Staff of Sacanas. Then Storm King discovers a new world full of rich resources he can utilize for his own tyrannical empire. Thus, he will not only rule one world but also two and much more. Batman must find a way to defeat him before the villain can accomplish his evil plan.

Note: This takes place during the events of My Little Pony: The Movie and after the events of Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker.

Tempest Shadow sometimes wonders what her place is at Beanis Inc. If she was pressed to give it a job description, it would probably come out as "whatever Twilight and Wallflower need me to do." So when Twilight approaches her with the opportunity to manage her own new department, she jumps at the chance.

All she has to do is solve the minor issue of digital piracy.

A lovingly crafted entry into the Beanis Cinematic Universe.
