Rarity had gone missing years ago and Detective Sweetie Belle believed that she would find her sister again one day, and this day finally looked promising as she finds a clue from a suspicious stranger that would lead her down the maintenance halls of one of Manehattan's subway stations.

With a clue finally in her hands after years of nothing to show for her work, there was no chance she was going to let it slide by. But things might not be as Sweetie Belle had anticipated and she was about to find out her sister's darkest secret, and darker secrets still.

Mystic Moon and Shining Star are siblings who share a love for competitive jumping, but when a dark force threatens the animals they must find the last alicorn made of magic. However it is is a race against time until somepony else completes their destructive plan. Travel with them as they meet all kinds of ponies and animals on the way. Can they really figure out what's happening to the animals? Can they help everypony that they meet on the way?

This was written for NaPoWriMo.

Side note: Romance is between two characters who come in much later on in the story, but they have a big enough part for me to add romance as one of the categories.

The Mane 6, the Knights, Megan, and Discord are invited to the Midsummer Theatre Reopening, hosted by Coco Pommel and Coloratura (Rara). Things are going well until accidents start happening at the Midsummer Theatre, like scaffolds falling, snakes found in the popcorn, and the costumes literally falling apart at the seams. All hooves point to Discord when they found evidence leading to him.

Rarity puts her detective cap on to clear Discord before he is set for trial. What she and Megan find will point back to four familiar ponies from the past.

When Twilight starts acting oddly, it takes a while for her friends to question it. After all, she's always been something of a hermit, hasn't she? But this time, it's more than just a scholarly inclination keeping our newest princess indoors...

This story is a sequel to My Little Pony: Lights and Shadows - Part I

Rumors have spread across all the land about attacks that have been made on Equestria, Griffonstone, and the Dragon Lands. With no explanation for these events, the griffons and the dragons have become primed for war. On top of this, Zecora has been missing for over a month, and many ponies have assumed the worst.
Twilight and her friends must stay true to their elements and help steer the world back onto a path of peace if any hope of finding Zecora is to be found.
While the ponies are distracted, the black dragon known as Stormclaw prepares to play out the second phase of his dark plan. With the help of Princess Twilight's greatest foes, his ambitions may become a reality, placing the fate of the world behind a single question:
Who is Shadow Light?

200,000 years after the fall of man, all remnants of their immense solar empire are gone. Washed away by the sands of time. Some would say this was a boon, some a tragedy and very, very few would say it is a fallacy.

Very little is known about the ancient Gaian Empire other than they controlled their entire galaxy then disappeared without a trace over 200,000 years ago. No one knows what happened to them. Such a mighty intergalactic civilization surely can't just blink out of existence in an instant, can it?

Little do others know, they did leave a trace, a tiny, inconsequential trail of breadcrumbs, as the metaphor goes, and someone is about to follow it.

After rarity receives the ornate box, she quickly discovers it is not just a normal music box. For what sleeps within it, should never be woken up. The city of manehatten has something set loose Upon it. Something they haven't seen before.

Welcome to a Equestria where vampires, ghouls and other creator hide in shadows and plain sight; where the mist rise easy; where dark magic is used to harm and twist; here Celestia have developed organisations to protect her little ponies from the things that go bump in the night, but will it be enough?

In the township of Ponyville an unnaturally localised earthquake destroy only the spa and create rumors about witchcraft, leading Mayor Mare to send a call for help to Canterlot. From the capital arrives two witchfinders - Zenith and Twilight Sparkle - to investigate, much to the anxiety to the towns secret vampire: Fluttershy.

After freeing Canterlot from Queen Chrysalis' clutch and taking down King Sombra, Twilight thought she could finally take a moment of rest. But unfortunately, that won't happen so soon.

Crystal ponies report strange magical occurrences on the frozen wastes, deep in the cold and empty snow covered landscape where no pony would even dare to live. Princess Cadance is worried this might be the sign of another villain attempting to take over Equestria, so she calls for help on the only pony she trusts to handle these matters without causing a stir.

However, the Mane 6 would find themselves with a bigger problem at hoof than they expected. Will they make it out alive, or will only their frozen whispers remain?
