Book V
It seems like a perfect day for a wedding. With the sun shining its brightest in the sky, birds singing their ballads in the trees and emotions running high, nopony could even begin to argue with that assessment. When Dusk and his friends are called in to help with the preparations, it looks like it could be even better. A time for celebration and for merriment.
Yet all of this is calm before a storm and it will be a great one. Underneath all the cake and the flowers and a gowns, a threat looms over the kingdom. A threat of invasion, which will soon be realised on this happy day. Sparked by greed and hatred, Chrysalis and her hive are coming, their numbers great and their sights set on conquest. First, Canterlot, then all of Equestria.
When they descend, it is the Elements of Harmony who must rise to defend their home. Dusk must take up arms against those who would do them harm. But after the scars that still plague his mind, can he bring himself to hurt another being, even an enemy? Will he be able to take up the banner and stand up to the Changelings or will he succumb to his lingering fears? And why can't he shake the feeling there might be something more to this, that his lurking foes might be orchestrating this?
All that is known is that Equestria will soon darken for a warring Dusk.

Due to a rather unfortunate stroke of bad luck, a Blacklight Agent by the codename of "Deadman" has managed to get dumped into Equestria, with nothing to guide him but his training and what he learned in the field fighting The Order and SIVs in this new land.

Can he accept that this land is not in need of a remorseless killing machine like home was? Can the ponies accept a warrior soaked in the blood of nations as a person, and not just another monster in their land of black and white?

Perhaps only time will tell.

Knowledge of the universe is not required, and the story is currently undergoing editing in some of the chapters to correct my past mistakes.

After unexpectedly being freed during a Changeling invasion, Discord finds himself allying with the Queen of the Changelings and the Mare of the Moon. In a bid to weaken their enemies, they take the element of magic, Twilight Sparkle, as a prisoner. Twilight then finds herself becoming a pawn each of them wants to use to secure their own dominance.

Will she be able to resist these beings of darkness, or will she fall into the darkness herself?

Chrysalis, the last Queen of the changelings, is dying. With her death, her children will die, and the changelings will cease. She has one final plan, a coup to save her race, her children. She must make a new Queen, one strong enough, and smart enough, to save her people. It will be her legacy, and her greatest achievement. Too bad she never asked Twilight if she wanted to help

Dark tag added just to be safe, but its a "light dark" if that even exists.

This story is a sequel to Moon's shadow

Luna and Alex are in a happy relationship while "A Canterlot Wedding" is approaching, what could go wrong ;-)
This is a sequel. I strongly recommend reading "Moon's shadow" first.

 Hearts and Hooves Day in the Crystal Empire is always a special affair. After all, the love in the hearts of the crystal ponies is reflected all across Equestria. As such, it’s up to Cadance, the Princess of Love, to keep up appearances and be in public all day to greet adoring fans and tourists. 

It’s not as easy as it sounds, but luckily her amazing wife Chrysalis is up to the task.

Written for the Quills and Sofas Colorful Characters - Cadance Contest with the prompts 'drowning' and 'bright pink'. Presented here with a little bit of expansion and editing.

Thanks so much to everyone in Quills who read and helped me edit, as well as the few other friends I showed the early draft too; I appreciate and love you all <3.

Changelings have plagued Equestria for thousands of years, horrific bug-like beings who take the place of your loved ones and feed off the love you give them. Until the wedding of Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and Prince Shinning Armor, where their queen was finally defeated, and all changelings expelled from Equestria once and for all.

As the wedding takes place in Canterlot, ponies from Manehatten to Trottingham flock to the streets to celebrate the defeat of Queen Chrysalis.

No one mourns the lives lost.

(In the process of being rewritten)

After his defeat in the Crystal Empire, Sombra is sent to Hell to suffer for his sins until the end of time. However, it turns out that his eternal punishment is not a lake of fire, but rather a combination of annoying neighbors, trivial work, and disgusting beer. Will Discord and Chrysalis be able to get the angry newcomer to loosen up and enjoy his eternity?

*AU: This story assumes that all major FiM villains, save for Nightmare Moon, died at the end of their respective episodes.
