This story is a sequel to theseus

Words curl in her throat, like a snake readying itself to strike, and she just barely swallows them down as Rainbow chuckles, pulling the conversation onto another topic. Sunset finds herself left behind — in the cooling remains of the previous — with Applejack's words ringing in her head.

Of course I forgive you, Applebloom. You're family.

The aftermath of Anon-a-Miss isn't as easy on anyone as it seems.

Modern Equestria doesn't need Flash Magnus out there on the front lines battling monsters anymore. And he's fine with that. He is. Really.

But when a matter arises that dates back to the earliest days of pony unification, Magnus finds himself calling upon skills he'd almost forgotten he possessed to once again save the day. With a little help from his friends, of course...

My entry in Shrink Laureate's Season 9 Bingo contest, this story got an Honorable Mention and was inspired by a set of images that I'll link to in the Author's Note at the end to avoid spoilers.

Rockhoof. Shield bearer of the Mighty Helm

Applejack. Most dependable pony in all of Equestria.

Pillar of Strength.

Element of Honesty.

Centuries separated them. Destiny brought them together.

Here is their story.

Unable to convince her former friends she isn't Anon-a-Miss, and out of contact with Princess Twilight, Sunset gives up on everything and tries to end it all. Instead a new chapter in her life begins when she's helped by total strangers, two of whom have familiar names and faces.

As she recovers from surviving her suicide attempt, she rebuilds her life in a new home and at a new school, though lingering forces from her past refuse to allow her a fresh start.

[Do note that the self-harm isn't shown directly, and is limited to the prologue. The story is about recovering.]

Meta notes, abridged version:

Moon-Lite gave me permission to do my own version of Fall of Harmony / Like the Phoenix / Flaming Sun. This is that story.

I asked for permission to do a version because Moon-Lite is not going to do a straight-remake and the old versions are gone, thus leaving no version whatsoever on Fimfiction. I want there to be at least one version on Fimfiction.

Moon-Lite's own new story, which he described as the straight-remake being reworked --kinda-- in a very abstract way, is Phoenix.

For the longer version of the meta stuff I'll make a blog post at some point and put a link to it here when I do.

Two ponies fall in love.

One will be conquered by Sombra and cast out of time.

The other will give everything to seal away the Pony of Shadows in Limbo.

Neither knows the other waits on the far side of a millennium.

This story is a sequel to I Am Not Sombra

My mind is just so infested, to the point where I don't know who I am. The anger I have over the ponies who harmed me and took me away from what I lost still holds in my heart, and it drives me to agony. At least I can claim to be the ruler of a nation...

Years ago Luna had found a handsome stallion who had treated her as an equal. A kind gentle pony from a carnival a long time ago. The kiss they shared still fresh on her mind, will she be lucky enough to encounter them a second time on this night?

This story is a sequel to My Empire of Dirt

Principal Celestia has had her hands full since taking a magically mute Sunset Shimmer. It hasn't been that long since the Fall Formal, and she's still trying to figure out basic communication with her student, let alone how to get her anything remotely like a Hearth's Warming present.
A hastily dashed off letter to her pony counterpart suddenly launches her on a night of adventure that will force her to question everything she thought she knew about Sunset Shimmer and how she can help the pony-turned-girl.

You're kinda going to have to read at least the first few chapters of My Empire of Dirt for this to make much sense. This story is considered canon to Empire.

I was originally going to write this as a one-shot, but once I hit 10,000 words, I figured I'd better break it up into chapters.

Deep, deep below the city of Canterlot, the facility has slept for hundreds of years. There was never a reason for someone to go there. But now, Twilight has agreed to take Celestia's place as the one who shall carry things out should the worst happen. And that means she must be made aware of the procedures she will need to go through. It's for the good of Equestria, and the whole world, after all.

In the waning days of the Crystal Empire, three young students come together in an unlikely alliance: a King, a Princess... and a Queen... who has little reason to like either of the other two...

Given how readily King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, and Radiant Hope teamed up as allies in the Siege of the Crystal Empire, what might have happened if they'd actually formed that alliance a long time ago?

Note: as usual, I treat the comic storylines as an excellent starting point and reference, but not as absolute canon.
