Born of whiskey and inspired by some of the dumbest ideas that the last 13 years have brought me and my friends, we present Mirror Mirrors! A story of an elite team of ponies from the Royal Guard who, despite their best efforts, constantly fail to wrangle the near-constant issues the Princesses create for them! From imposing terrifs on the Changlings, to trying to figure out why Celestia and Luna have it out for Twilight and Co., there is no job too small or strange that they are not forced to handle.

A delightful (presumption) slice of life, the cameras are off, and nopony is home drama that is heavily inspired by Tamers12345, Alcoholism, about nine conventions, drinking with friends, one really bad drug trip at Babscon, The Mentally Advanced Series, Leslie Neilson, and other fun choices!

Edgy, silly, and at times even violent! We got taxes! International plots! A love story that involves lots of bitting (because the writer can not help himself!)! A large room with one toilet! Two changelings! Possible brain damage! and much, much more!


WARNING: My friends and I, who have been in the fandom for the last 13 years, have taken extensive liberties and will use some of our more outlandish ideas for this series. It is to be assumed that the show is going on in the background and that the various conspiracies are taking place alongside it. Please be assured that every word of this is being written with a glass of Bushmills in my hand.

NOTICE!: I am adding artwork to the first chapter of Characters! The art of new Characters will appear in chronological order of when they are mentioned in the story and be inserted at the bottom of the chapter. Some of the art will not be that good because I will be the one drawing it, lol.

Cover art by Leafy! Over on YCH.COM

I have about three covers commissioned, and I plan to cycle them out as they come in.

This story is about the mare called Amethyst Wind. Maybe she's the one to save Princess Twilight from her eternal fate of being a captive of her library. Or maybe she's just a delusion of Rarity who's slowly going insane because of Discord's curse. Still she's real for Rarity, and someone should free the Princess. Could it be her?


This story is based on The Enchanted Library written by Monochromatic (Mono knows about this). It is tightly coupled with Interlude VI, Interlude VII, and a part of Chapter 29: these parts of TEL are expected to take place between the corresponding chapters of this fanfic.
It's kind of AU relative to TEL itself (which is another AU relative to MLP:FiM), which treats Rarity's dreams about Amethyst Wind as a real thing.

Story consists of eight chapters.


Originally this fanfic was written in Russian, and so Russian version is available through several resources: Ponyfiction, Ficbook, Tabun.
Cover art is drawn by TerminalHash. Also, here's the reference sheet for Amethyst Wind as how I see her (originally Mono did not provide a description of her look in TEL, so I had to let my imagination do the thing; Mono kinda approved it too), drawn by TerminalHash too.


I'm not a native or even fluent in English, and it's my first attempt to upload something what can be read by fans around the world, not just in Russian-speaking countries. I'm pretty sure my literature English is horrible (e.g. tenses, punctuation, wording, metaphors, idiomatic expressions etc.), so if anyone is so generous to help me improve the text, and my skills too, they can help me by suggesting corrections here in Google Docs. Last chapter even did not undergo any proofreading by a fluent/native speaker, so sorry for its quality, I hope someone would help me with it.
Also feel free to suggest anything else you wish in the comments below, it's my first publication on Fimfiction after all, and I may know not the full details of how it works here, so your advice would be helpful. At least I hope so.


Great thanks to:

  • Monochromatic, for writing TEL, the amazing story that is really a treasure of the fandom. Personally for me, TEL is second most respected fanfic of the fandom after Background Pony.
  • Gavier, for absolutely amazing proofreading job of all chapters except the last one, so the story at least partially does not look weird in terms of language.
  • Shaddar and other TEL translating team, for, well, translating TEL into Russian, so I discovered the thing that really inspired me.
  • Imanta18 aka Nyamiha, for actually convincing me to rewrite Amethyst Dreams into English, so other people could read it.
  • TerminalHash aka FoxFromPripyat, for a cute cover art and a reference sheet for Amethyst Wind.
  • And you, for reading this! I hope it'll satisfy your interest in a new TEL related content.

NO LONGER BEING UPDATED! Stories will continue in Past Conditional!


Present Perfect's Award-Winning Platefic, aka The Zebra Manuscript, aka "Where Do Fillies Come From?" (Beyond Random): There is really no explanation for this.

The Nether Apple (Dark, Human): I once ran a Tumblr called Ask the Nether Apple, with all of two posts, a spinoff of the better Ask the Derpmuffin. I wanted to post the introduction story here for posterity. Not pony-related, and knowledge of Ask the Derpmuffin is recommended.

It Was a Bright and Sunny Day in Ponyville (Random, Adventure): An exercise in mocking purple prose and the 'weather report' opening. It is a single, grammatically correct sentence that takes 500 words to accomplish what happens in the title.

Twilight's Guts (Dark, Random): Twilight awakens covered in her own entrails. How did that happen?

The 6th Step (Human): I overcome my fear of heights with the help of some friendly ponies in my head. A true story.

Movin' on Up (Random): The walls start shakin', the earth is quakin', Dr. Whooves' mind is achin' and what the bloody hell is actually going on?

A Very Nasty Habit (Random): Chrysalis is confronted by a Councillor worried about her health. How did changelings get those holes in their legs, anyway?

The Call of Carrothulhu (Dark, Crossover): Carrot Top's garden hides many wonders, but some were never meant to be pulled from the earth.

Blue, Green, Purple, Pink (Dark): My mane is lovely, don't you think? So many colors, swirling, never ending, constantly shifting, always in my field of vision. Help.

Waiting for Rarity (Sad): Rarity is off pursuing her dreams. What does this mean for her friends?

War Comes to Equestria (Dark): Celestia has spent countless lifetimes honing Equestria into a peaceful haven for her little ponies. So when an ambassador from the griffins casually speaks of war, it is understandable that she might become a tad... peeved. Inspired by The Descendent's excellent story "A Cup of Joe". Somehow.

The Lamentation Chain (Sad, Random): Five souls find themselves caught in a common thread of sadness and longing on the eve of the new year.

The Heart Holds Grudges With Gravity (Random, Crossover): Applejack and Rarity have had a long-standing feud since before Twilight even knew them. The time has finally come to settle the score.

Burdens of the Throne (Random): The Princess of Love was angry...

The Summer of the Giant Moth (Random): When a giant moth roosts on Applejack's barn, she learns to appreciate the things we have or something, I dunno. Contains the phrase "tremendous death fart". More than once.

Rusty in the Giddyup (Comedy, Romance): Notably uptight noblepony Persnickety finally meets the mare of his dreams. But she's not exactly what she seems to be...

A Chance Encounter on Route 66 (Slice of Life): After a breakdown in the middle of nowhere leaves her stranded, help comes to Wild Fire straight out of a past she wanted to forget.

Pareidoilia, or the Importance of Crochet (Sad, Slice of Life): Pinkie Pie tells her granddaughter about the five greatest ponies she ever knew.

Somepony Still Loves You, Trixie Lulamoon (Human): I end up in Equestria, which is weird, because Equestria isn't real, I'm not a pony, and I didn't really want to come here in the first place. Also, the ponies are dicks. Don't go to Equestria, kids, it sucks.

No Jobs Tonight (Human, Sad): My name is PinkPartyPony and I live in a Corrugated with my best friend Pinkie Pie. I'll tell you about her and me and what we do together and my Box Friends and strawberries.

Handy-Dandy (Random): Flying around at the speed of sound one day, who should Rainbow Dash run into but the Great and Powerful Trixie? But little did she expect, the unicorn has a revelation that will blow her mind!

Mowe (Dark, Comedy): Applejack was a fat baby, and her parents are dead.

Bat for Lashes (Adventure): Roughing it does not mean bringing an eyelash curler, at least not to Applejack. After all, it's not like she'll ever find herself embroiled in an eyelash-curling emergency out in the wilderness... Right?

Rainbow Dash Gets a Big Ball of Lame Stuck in Her Throat (Comedy, Random): And it kind of sucks!

No Harm, No Waterfowl (Comedy, Random): Beaten, humiliated and humbled, Trixie has been brought low and understands the horrible things she's done. Now, in a wildlife reserve miles away from civilization, she has found peace. But it is a fragile peace, ready to shatter when a flock of ducks arrive from afar.

The Eye and the Web (Slice of Life): An old seer is summoned to Ponyville to perform her last seeing.

And a Smile Means Friendship to Everyone (Random, Slice of Life): Fleur holds a press conference to talk about just what she did to revolutionize children's entertainment.

A Tsundere Diamond Tiara Schoolyard Romance Story (Random, Romance): Diamon Tiarda has a secrets she doesnt actually not never hate Apple Bloom but don't tell nopony shhh. I wrote this for Jake the Army guy because.

The Brony Princess (Human, Crossover, Random): Katelyn's life is awful: school sucks, her parents are idiots, and her only solace is watching My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. So when she's whisked off to a magical kingdom full of talking equines, things start looking up. Except it's not the kingdom full of talking equines she was hoping for... (Will not be finished.)

A Blackout in Ponyville (Random, Crossover): Blackout -- a giant, evil robot covered in guns and blades -- visits Equestria to see one particular pink party pony. Hopefully he won't squish any of the organics. A crossover with Transformers: Animated that will likely not be understandable to anyone unfamiliar with the show.

Vinyl Scratch Drops the Title (Teen: Sex, Random, Comedy): During the decannual Main/Background Exchange Day, Vinyl Scratch ends up sorting books with Princess Twilight Sparkle much to her chagrin and eternal boredom.

Love Means Never Having to Say You're Hungry (Romance, Dark): Rainbow Dash has a problem with Pinkie Pie.

Lines (Comedy, Slice of Life): A time-displaced warrior from Equestria's distant past ekes out a living in modern Manehattan. All she wants is coffee, and all the motor-mouthed unicorn at the computer store wants is to sell her the latest in Equestrian technology.

The Shortest Breakup Fic Ever (Romance, Comedy, Random, Sad): Two ponies discover they have irreconcilable differences. (Reading by AShadowOfCygnus!)

Star Bright (Original Version) [Adventure]: A young mare goes off into the Everfree Forest, seeking a way to come out from under her mother's shadow.

The Totally, For-Real Shortest Breakup Fic Ever (So Long as You Don't Look at the Character Count) [Romance, Sad, Random]: Pinkie has a tearful confession for Rarity about Rainbow Dash. (Reading by AshadowOfCygnus!)

Kiss of the Sea Queen (Adventure, Romance): After accidentally being turned into seaponies, Twilight, AJ, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy get swept up in the political strife of their underwater cousins. (Will not be finished.)

"Speak, Butt, and Enter" (Random, Adventure, Butts): Daring Do finds out just why she brought Ditzy along on her latest adventure when they come across a strange inscription outside a lost temple.

Matter Was I, If It Would (Random): In the wake of Princess Twilight getting a nifty-keen crystal tree castle, Pinkie has to ask Twilight a very difficult question. Or it might be a very silly question, I'm not sure.

Sunset Shimmer Plays Baseball (2nd Person, Romance, Comedy, Random, Equestria Girls): Fresh haircut, chocolates, flowers: you're all set for your first date with Sunset Shimmer!

Underneath It All (Random): As the Ghost of Hearth's Warming Future, Luna was awfully... tall.

Rainbow Dash and Fluffle Puff Try to Play an MMORPG (Random): They fail miserably.

Friendly Fire (Adventure, Random, Sad): In a ruined city, hunting for a lost relic, Twilight and Fluttershy smell something burning.

That's Amore (AU, Random): Starlight Glimmer needs to figure out how to pass five friendship lessons at once. Surely pasta will help!

That'll Do, Pig (Teen: Sex, Comedy, Equestria Girls, Random): Sunset Shimmer has something very important to say.

I'll Show You "Apple Brown Betty"! (Random): Rainbow Dash takes a dump on Applejack. They can't all be winners!

Apple Slices (Sex, Drama, Sad): Golden Delicious, feeling trapped by his cozy, provincial life, goes in search of greener pastures. What he finds is a unicorn.

Crystal Wishes is back and this time, is using her powers for something different when Scootaloo and Cheerilee requests that she give them a glimpse into the past rather than the future. When things don't go as planned, the two ponies are sent to a world they've never seen before.

Note: Crystal Wishes is from my story, "Cutie Mark Wishes". Reading that story would be helpful to gain a background of her character but it's not required. This story is more like a spinoff of that combined with it being my first crossover story with My Little Pony (2003)

Gallant Aurora, captain of the Lunar Guard and Princess Luna's adopted son, hasn't felt at ease since the discovery of the Vanished hive in the Everfree Forest. And while the other Z.O.D.I.A.C. agents enjoy the festivities, Gallant just can't seem to shake the feeling that something is wrong.

But when the Storm King conquers Equestria and traps the princesses, the mane six must leave their home to save it.

Tempest Shadow has had enough. She knows the truth, the Storm King isn't going to restore her horn. Now she must make a choice, continue fighting a pointless war for the benefit of a spoiled child, or betray him and join Z.O.D.I.A.C in a war that they can never win. Will she accept the hoof of friendship offered out to her, or will she take the darker path and become something far more powerful than the Storm King himself?

Update 3/27/2012:
Added an Author's note. Please read it.

Update (2/18/2012)
The song "smile" was shown in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic season 2 episode 18 "A friend in deed", today. If anyone wants to I can try to create a Pinkie Pie's "Point of View" chapter from this episode, a Cranky Doodle Donkey's "Point of View" from this episode, or a novelization of this episode. If anyone has any suggestions for future chapters that would be great!

I updated (1/16/2012): I moved the story's status from complete to incomplete. I decided that will continue the story as seperate scenarios of this story's plot. That means it may have Pinkie Pie cheering up other ponies' whether they be OC, background, minor or main characters. Any requests for her to cheer somepony up? As for time periods the new stories can take place before or after what happens in Chapter 1.

I updated (1/1/2012): I added pictures for those not familiar with the characters and for size comparisons along with a description of my OC and a lengthier summary.

I Updated (12/20/2011): I corrected some small errors and reworded it in some places so that it will flow better. Enjoy.

I wrote this while listening to the leaked Pinkie Pie song "Smile! Smile! Smile!" that was featured on My Litte Pony: Friendship is Magic season 2 episode 18 "A Friend in Deed". I was so excited when I found this song.

Please read and review.

Copyright on everything that does not belong to me. For almost all of it belongs to Lauren Faust, Hasbro, and their rightful owners... All I own is the unnamed female pony and this story.

Summary: Pinkie Pie gives her thoughts on laughter, and cheers somepony up. The OC is a light brown earth pony with a dark brown and straight mane and tail. She is the same age as the Mane 6 but the size of Applebloom. She is bookish and shy. She wears glasses when reading. She constantly has a small frown on her face...But, can Pinkie pie change that?

Description of OC is in the summary.

Queen Chrysalis is the leader of the changelings, who feed on the love that other ponies feel for them. We have only seen her for two episodes in season 2 and has not yet returned to the show. Chrysalis is a character with little to no background about her, not even Celestia says anything about past relations. With the show not satisfying the need to give some backing to Chrysalis, we created our own backstory about her. So let's read on about the tale of corruption from a filly unicorn to the Queen of the changelings.

Now, I could go on and on about this whole story about my life, but that would be kind of annoying, so I'm going to go with this:

I'm not normal. I'm hardly even a pony. But that doesn't stop me from having some fun.
Just try not to get on my bad side... there are a few scary things about being an Archmage and they aren't fun to expirience
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Well, this is gonna be fun, time to see how much you guys can handle of this ridiculous story.
Also, if you want to know a bit more on this story, you're probably going to want to check this thing out
Arcane index: (link here)
It pretty much just describes the background of this story and how the magic system works. Be warned, it may take a while to finish.
There are also two other things you can read (if they are out anytime soon) that describe a few other things, such as how time works. It's not needed to enjoy the story, though, so don't worry if you don't read them if you don't want to.
Time Manuscript: (link here)
Universal Laws: (link here)
Just for all of you reading this, just remember, this story is purely for my own fun and things that you might not understand with this story is alright. This thing is ridiculously long and has so much background and story to it that it may takes months before a question is ever answered. So, just have fun reading this and leave some comments so that I can read your feedback. Anyways, thanks for at least trying to checkout this story and hope you enjoy!
