Have you ever wondered "Where did Spike come from? Where did Celestia get his egg?" Well, what if that question was a mystery no longer? When visiting Princess Cadence, Shining armor and their little baby, Flurry heart, Spike stumbles across a particular crystal statue in a closet in the Crystal castle. When he asks about it he discovers something that prompts him to run into the arctic north without telling Twilight.

There he meets a stranger, someone he never thought he would in the ruins of the Dragon's Quarry.

The Crystal Ponies just woke up. This is the story of two of those ponies and what they talked about. What will happen? Talking. A lot of talking.
If you don't like stories with dialogue in them, turn back now.
The cover art is kind of irrelevant.

The war against Sombra has left Queen Chrysalis's hive starved of pony love. As a desperate act, she braves the icy Frozen Wastes to find the Crystal Empire, said to be protected by the power of love itself...

Princess Cadance finds herself at the helm of an empire in shambles and with little experience to guide it. Things change when she learns of a pony rescued from the Frozen Wastes...

A story of worlds colliding and love blooming.

Chapter 3: Ali della Morte

Ascension to Alicornhood. For thousands of years it had been thought impossible. How was it that the unicorn mare would have been able to achieve something that had never been done before? Princess Luna knows, and she will do anything to keep the knowledge from getting out.

This is the story of an alicorn, an insane unicorn king and his allies, and a unicorn filly. This is also the story of the world's newest alicorn, and how she is connected to it all.

Please note that this story does contain some mature themes, although nothing that I feel warrants a mature rating. Let me know if you have concerns, however.

This story is a sequel to Nigel M Chalmers, Emperor

(15/10/2015) Turned status back to incomplete pending an Epilouge and Alternate Endings chapter as per comment suggestions.

After being banished by Celestia for his misdeeds, the alien Emperor of the Crystal Empire is back... and out for revenge.

Emperor Chalmers is not a happy space man. After being stabbed in the back by Equestria, he was sent to the depths of the Underworld. Kicked out for causing too much trouble for the wardens, Nigel now has the chance to take back his empire and show Celestia just how disappointed he is with her.

This time things will be different. This time he has friends.

King Sombra survived the power of the Crystal Heart, and for a moment, it seemed as if his victory was assured. And then something unexpected happened...

He stepped on a nail.

CRACK FIC!!!

Two crystal ponies meat to talk of ponies, and what they are.

When the sky over the Crystal Empire is split open by a dark tear, Celestia, Cadance, Luna and Twilight must figure out a way to stop it. But in order to defeat darkness, sometimes you NEED darkness. And that leaves only one option; Sombra.

With his powers under lock down, and a growing connection to the strange darkness, can Sombra learn what it really takes to earn an empires respect, or will he abandon them to the darkness from another world?

UPDATED: Chapter one re-formatted, extra bits added, general tidying.

Further helped into readableness by Hail King Sombra!

Pandinus Imperator (You can call him Pan, he won't mind) is knocked back in time during the Canterlot Invasion, and accidentally kills King Sombra on arrival. Instead of being executed, the changeling is surprised to find himself being hailed as a hero, and is promptly put on the throne as the new monarch, the Crystal Emperor. However, Pan now faces a great many problems, among them Celestia and Luna, who seem certain that the changeling is secretly up to no good, as well as several political factions secretly plotting to undermine his reign. There's also the tiny problem of the constant snowstorm that threatens to cut the city off from the outside world permanently.
The Crystal Ponies need a hero now more than ever before. Why did they get a changeling instead?

The Crystal Empire is falling.

King Sombra is desperate to retain control of his kingdom - the crystal ponies under him are just as desperate to escape his tyrannical rule.

Not everyone will get what they want.
