Four days after the defeat of "Nightmare Moon" and Luna's arrival in Canterlot, freshly-promoted Lieutenant Captain Shining Armor starts his new role as the commanding officer of the nighttime "Luna Shift".

But there are enemies everywhere. The emotional and psychological demons that pulled Princess Luna into evil one thousand years ago threaten to do so again. The Canterlot elite show a surprising degree of apathy regarding Luna or her problems. And there is also a danger within the Royal Guard itself - mavericks that would gladly derail Luna's rehabilitation and ruin Shining Armor's reputation to satisfy their own selfish desires.

Lines will be drawn and sides will be taken as all those good and noble prepare to fight for the future of Princess Luna - a fight with significant consequences for the fate of Equestria!

A seemingly normal day for Twilight takes a very eventful change as she becomes accepted into the 'The Black Hoof', a group feared for the unconventional methods into public humiliations, taking revenge on behalf of others...
With pies.

Twilight, an 'assassin'?
Facehoofing ensues.

First ever fic and thank you all for the support! Revisions of it will be done at some point: looking back... it needs it.

During her stay in Canterlot, and while she should be making a Birthday dress for Twilight, Rarity is instead mingling with the elites of the capital. But among those prestigious faces is one who, quite frankly, she'd hoped to never meet again.

Rarity prides herself on her work, and when letters start pouring in from Canterlot after the Royal Wedding she is overjoyed by the enthusiasm for her dresses. Drawing on her friend Fancy Pants, she is able to set up a temporary shop in Canterlot for one month, where she will do her best to turn out as many dresses and outfits as she possibly can.

She swears to Twilight and her friends that she won't fall for the allure of the big city again, and that Ponyville won't have to go long without her... but once there, she is quickly swept up in the grandeur and glamour of post-Wedding Canterlot. Her clients are rich, prestigious and famous, with clout and influence to burn...

...but it is one mare, a simple gray earth pony, who catches her attention. She doesn't behave like the rest- she is quiet, yet when she speaks she is witty and clever, not dull and droll like the others. She dodges Rarity's questions about her artfully, which only piques the white unicorn's interest and nigh-on forces her to dig deeper into the community to find out about this mysterious mare named Octavia.

But what does she hope to find? Why is she so driven to find out more about the gray earth pony musician... and what will she do with the information she gleans?

This story is a sequel to Friendly Fire

She has waited.

She has waited for years, and now the unlikely individual that captured her affection has returned, but not in the way she had expected. Now, she finds herself in love with a King. Surely, there will be something to separate them again, with his new position...

... won't there be?

(Despite the unfortunate post date, this is a genuine work)

Normally, Rainbow Dash doesn’t care for entertaining uptight snobs whose only concerns are about themselves and the latest fashion-but, when Rarity promises the possibility of Wonderbolts tickets, all of that is liable to change.

Who wants to read what's in Celestia's private mail? Spike has a crush on a certain unicorn. This little dragon has grown up under constant literary bombardment, so it's natural for him to write out just why he cares about her. As he grows a little bit older and wiser from his contemplation, he sends a letter to Princess Celestia about his feelings and questions his own bloodline.

=#= Wrote this as an exercise in Spike's perspective on his life in Ponyville. For one thing, how he would have rationalized acting the way he did on the night of the Grand Galloping Galla. For another, how he would have responded psychologically to Rarity saving him when he was on the rampage. Overall though, this was inspired by how a crush matures or declines when one grows up. Good things do not always wither and die, sometimes they have strong roots.

Now with a follow-up story, A Kiss and A Duty.

Chris has been kept hidden from the world almost his whole life, but now he's got friends and even love. But, as a human in a pony world, how would he celebrate one of the biggest holidays in their world?

A seasonal oneshot from the story "The Monster of Canterlot". The story does not necessarily represent any future plans for the plot of the original story.

Spike and Rarity go to Canterlot on a long weekend vacation both with plans, but things don't always go as planned. Spike and Rarity are in for a ride. Feelings will be tested and a new ship that I should have never attempted may come to light.
Thanks to a wonderful cover art donation, I have some cover art. I must thank you once more alexanderhunt88 for the great contribution.

This is a parody of "The Count of Monte Cristo" starring Spike the Dragon. When the dragon is presumed dead by his friends, but is in reality given a chance at a brand new exciting life, a whole new world opens up for the dragon. With a new name, and wealth beyond measure, Spike hopes to get revenge on those who wronged him, and become worthy of the love of his life, Rarity.

Author's Note: I LOVED "The Count of Monte Cristo"! It was just incredible! You have to read the book, or at least see a movie. Of course, this isn't an exact parody (No prison, no treasure hunt, and a few other things), also, I don't exactly remember the book word for word anyway. However, I do believe that you will enjoy this fan fic, whether you like or have read the book or not.
