Ponyville—all of Equestria but mostly Ponyville—loves their random bouts of theatrics and choreographed dance routines. But is it at all possible for us to not do it during business hours? It's not really asking for a lot, is it?

Starlight's a big fan of it, don't get her wrong. But there are a few complaints...

How about not on Tuesdays? That seems reasonable, right?

Spoilers for the ending of "Friendship Games".

Facing down a girl twisted by magic and her own ambition sparked Sunset Shimmer to summon the Elements of Harmony. The very same Elements of Harmony that stopped a girl twisted by magic and her own ambition not long ago.

It was harmony that beat her once, and harmony that filled her mind yet again.

Equestria is a husk of what it was before.

Friendship never existed, the windigos took over the world completely.

All that remains are insane alicorns, gods, and monsters.

As the remaining ponies cower in fear and hide away from the constant battles, two alicorns clash once more only to experience something new.

Now, Midnight Sparkle and Nightmare Moon must work together to uncover what could have been. They start with the other alicorns.

It wouldn't be easy. They didn't care.

An experimental AU. Set to be less than 20k words, and uploads will be as I write the chapters.

Romance will come in later chapters. You have been warned.

Luna couldn't be more excited for the events of her first Nightmare Night since her return. But, call it sisterly worries, Celestia wants to make sure she does the right things for her first impression. Formalities change after a thousand years you know.

This story is a sequel to An Empress' Wish.

Chains and bars are what hold a prisoner from escaping physically. Mentality and reflection are what holds a prisoner from escaping emotionally. Once a prisoner to chains, whether of mind or body, you are a prisoner by all names.

The only consolation of being imprisoned is that you are alone with your thoughts. Thoughts of what went wrong and how you found yourself where you are.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders oath: "When your flank is blank and all your plans have pretty much sank, look to our rank and our unstoppable think tank!" No matter the call, A crusader would help... Even for a colt. But even a colt has to follow the code of the crusader.

One-shot.

This story is a sequel to The Age of Iron.

When the world was young... When Equestria was nothing but an idea... When the "Earth" had eclipsed the "Sky" and the "Snow" relished in itself... Therein was the forging of aid... And of "aide". The manifestation of land and sky's most time tested tool: Wind.

One-shot POV.

Humans, we have so much potential. Potential to be doctors, lawyers, slaves. In a world where Diamond dogs figure out how to take us from ours and use us as slaves most of us are complacent. A few however, remember our pride, our freedom. We won't live as slaves, we will rise up against our overlords, we will have revenge. I am Cold, and my master was the element of magic, Twilight Sparkle.

This story is a sequel to A Final Choice.

A stopper now jammed through the mirror that once bridged two worlds together only once every thirty moons, Sunset Shimmer takes what may be her final chance to confront all that she is and was. Twilight once brought to Sunset an option that was once thought to be long since lost. A quest, one that all apprentices must take; it is now Sunset Shimmer's one and only mission.

It had been months since the Elements of Harmony failed to defeat Nightmare Moon, and a resistance force had prepared the perfect plan to finally defeat her. But just before they could pull it off, the unthinkable happens:

Someone else beats them to it.

The new alien overlord known as "Mental" seems better than Nightmare at first, but the ponies quickly learn that the reality is that he is far, far worse.
Out of options, the former resistance, headed by Twilight Sparkle, forms a desperate plan. They need a hero; someone who is brave, someone who is capable...
They need someone who is serious.
