After Princess Celestia summons Twilight to Canterlot for an urgent matter, she is informed that one of her friends is a disguised changeling. Twilight must figure out which one of them it is, but it's going to take a lot more than simply asking to attain the answer.

(Note(spoiler): Story takes place before Tirek, but after Twilight's promotion to princess.)

A few years ago, a rumor surfaced that I creature of tall statue and thick clothing, made himself home in a cave on top of a mountain. He would offer insight into future events in exchange for food, as a tribute to his divine knowledge and has been known as The Oracle ever since. For years he has given out knowledge sparingly, now Princess Celestia, Luna, and Cadence have made plans to visit him, but Celestia’s question might be a little risky, but curiosity is killing her.

Rainbow Dash's dreams are bigger than her wallet.

Rainbow dreams of buying a van, and she's found the perfect one--but she didn't quite realize how bad shape it was actually in until after she'd already spent her savings on it. She needs to get it fixed, but doesn't have the cash or the know-how to do it on her own.

She also dreams about meeting Sylvia, the mysterious girl who owns the black motorcycle that appears in the school parking lot every morning. Sylvia's bike is awesome--and Rainbow is pretty sure that Sylvia herself is pretty awesome, too. She'd love to meet her--but no one knows who she actually is.

Rainbow Dash has no idea that the solution to both her dreams comes from the person that she suspects the least.

With the help of The Apparatus, Queen Twilight Sparkle had gained knowledge from innumerable divergent worlds. Using this newfound mystical power, she had conquered her world, united its varied peoples, and brought peace and prosperity to all through her own benignly neglectful rule.

Then Cadence, Princess of Love and the last of Twilight's family and friends, destroyed the Crystal Palace.

Along with everyone inside.

Why?

(Content Note: While the red tags are technically accurate, this is first and foremost a work of speculative fiction. It is not a gore fest.)

(Chronology Note: The crux of this tale takes place outside of continuity, in several of infinite possible futures. Its driftwood may touch upon any number of dimensional shores.)

A Queen of Light and Darkness story.

This tale was strongly inspired by Larry Niven’s All the Myraid Ways. Though I only read it once many years ago, it left a powerful impression on me, and you can definitely see that in this story.

Special thanks also to B_Munro, for recognizing the stories’ similarities and telling me who wrote that splendid story I’d read as a child, and what the name of it was.

Due to the nature of the discussion which follows this tale, there are comments - including mine - which may contain spoilers to varying degrees (depending on what you consider an actual spoiler). The more serious spoilers are behind the usual black boxes, of course.

Discord has a secret. Luna decides the best way to find it out is to steal it from within his dreams.
A genre-swapping Mystery-Comedy-Bildungsroman-High Fantasy-Romance adventure.

Written for Shrink Laureate's Season 10 Bingo Writing Contest from the following prompts:
Discord, Pinkie Clones, Princess Luna, Klugetown, Tartarus

WARNING: Some comments may contain spoilers.

Ten years ago Applejack disappeared without a trace. Now Fluttershy must find out why, but will that be possible when she's thrown together with a pierced, tattooed, reality-bending draconequus who's just recently escaped being trapped in stone?

AU Fluttercord set 10 years after the first three seasons (minus the Discord episodes.) Inspired by Fluttershy and Discord's relationship both in the show and in several fanfics (*cough* Bride of Discord *cough*), and based loosely (extremely loosely) on the plot from the Stieg Larsson novel "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." Contains some Murder Mystery elements so is rated T just to be safe.

Constructive Criticism is welcome.

Goodfic Bin Review

Cover art belongs to me so please do not take without permission, thank you.

Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer are the only two living ponies in the world that can lay claim to one of Equestria's most prestigious titles: the protege of Princess Celestia, ruler of the land of Equestria and perhaps one of the most powerful magic users to ever walk the face of the planet.

However, they are not the first: since Equestria's medieval ages, Celestia has held pupils under her tutelage. Some of these pupils went on to do great things, while others fell prey to their own ambition and power, but even though those students have been dead for years, Celestia still remembers every name that came before.

Her reminiscing becomes more than memories, however, when her very first pupil shows up on the castle steps. One by one, Celestia's former students begin to appear in the prime of their youth, their minds seemingly leaving off right after their deaths. It's up to Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer to find out why these ponies have risen from the dead, and what they're being drawn to...

Rated T for sexual references, profanity and violence.

Featured on 4/14! Thanks everyone!

When the Crystal Empire returned, it did so without incident, bereft of its former ruler - the Mad King nowhere to be found across all the frozen wastes. Many believed he perished, lost to whatever magics he used to banish the Empire into the aether. And yet...

Within the confines of a quaint and curious club, nestled into the depths of Canterlot, a returned Sombra ekes out a comfortable existence. Unburdened by his prior madness, he has taken to the life of a humble bartender, offering advice and a listening ear to those who find themselves at his establishment - and soon comes to find himself intrigued by the plight of a moonlit mare. When all one has known are lies and deceptions, can the dancing embers of compassion thaw his stony heart?

The Everfree is a dangerous, yet enchanted place. Evening Storm knew this very well. He had never meant to venture so far into it, yet thanks to a misjudgment here he was.

Stopping for what he hoped to be a short rest under a willow tree, he finds himself in a peculiar situation. Staring at events that long seem past, he's faced with one question:

Can he do anything to change this? For her sake, he has to try.

Megan Williams has been to Equestria before. Twenty years prior, she made friends, fought enemies and lived happily. Two decades later, she waits for any sign that she can see her friends again.

When children start to go missing after making "wishes" to visit a magical place, Megan starts to investigate until she realizes the threat is closer to home than she expected. Her barn is holding an entrance, but to where, she has yet to find out. She won't go unprepared though...

Gore Warning: Megan fights back and fights viciously.
