Through luck and foresight King Sombra has managed to avoid the grave, but just barely. At the cost of much of his magical powers and his whole kingdom. With nothing, but his life, to lose he decides to make a daring gambit by infiltrating Ponyville and exacting his revenge from within.
With no formal spy training and little experience socializing with the common pony Sombra find's himself bumbling in his attempt to take over the town. With no base of power and little to his name Sombra finds himself losing the fight before it has started until a cross-eyed pagasus offers too help him. Now, in order to conquer Ponyville he must first conquer the home of Derpy Hooves, which may be his greatest challenge yet.

(An idea that came from a joke I made on a Facebook thread and I just decided to run with it. This story isn't high on my priority list, but if a few people like it I'll try to make an update for it something within the month. It's labeled comedy, but I'm not a funny person, sorry.)

This is a crack-ship I will watch but only for sombra

Well this my friend... is totally awesome. I love how Sombra has gotten his ego severely bruised and this is certainly the most interesting crack shipping Ive ever scene, keep up the good work and update soon.
This chapter was excellent, very entertaining overall, I liked the take on Dinky and just the general discussions about food, it was highly amusing.
I very much like your amusing and clever take on Derpy and Dinky in this fic oh and obviously Sombra
Didn't care to much for the Doctor reference, but I've never cared for that, so it;s nothing to do with your writing, just me.
This... just made my day
Ive been waiting forever for u to update and u do not dissappoint! Great chapter loved it! Update soon!
This is awesome AND cute, update!
that was awesome, the ending was just hilarious! I can't wait for the next update.
Hilarious!
Finally you update! Like to see more.
Delicious wine. I require another.
Fun chapter!
Love that reference. I love how Sombra express his interest in oddly, unique way haha
I hope they become a couple. That would be nice.
It make you wonder what kind of kids they will spawn?
That Doctor and Assistant reference
The ending is adorable
It's refreshing to see Dinky acting in a manner that isn't completely saccharine.
Who keeps moving my room?
I'm thankful every day that my office doesn't require me to wear a garrote...

Wow! That is interesting.
Best. Romance. Ever.
I looooooove this story
pleas for gods sake continue
Worm training.
Fucking awesome. You have my porn good sir.
So ice cream existed...
Makes sense.
Dear sweet Celestia you have buttered my kippers with this story. I enjoy Sombra acting stupid.
"I guess I showed you how stupid I am."
...
Burger. King.
You, sir, have earned my respect.
Huzzah.
"The cypher is stupidity" was, I think, the highlight...
You know what would be funny,
sombra recruiting ponies with derp eyes to be his spies
IMAGINE IT a WHOLE SPY NETWORK of derp eyed ponies FOR SOMBRA
As he said the cypher is stupidity OR derp eyes
Moar.
Oh my god this was totally worth it ! Nice job!
The premise reminded me of an Excel Saga for some reason.
“And you're a stone statue!”
Probably the greatest line, closely followed by “No, you're FIRED!”
Or maybe Dinky's demon llama dance?
I dunno. It's all amusing.
Wow, there were almost 40 favorites since last night and comments so quickly. I had over 40 notifications when I signed back on this morning. I've never gotten so many before. I take it everyone likes the latest chapter, thank you.
3880089 I do apologize about the errors. I try to edit to my best abilities, but I have no proofreader and there are even times where I'm so excited by the work, like in this case, that I'll post with only basic editing. I'll look into getting one to ensure quality.
Angsty Dinky is best Dinky.
This… I love it so!
interesting.......
i need to read this because of that insanely adorable picture
3882202 Same here, is so adorable... agh,the cuteness... its too much!*Starts having a seizure*
This is both a mixture of being so hilarious and adorable. I love it!
I believe you mean "nightmares"

lol, with all the errors in the earlier chapters I have to wonder why that was the one error you choose to report. Oh, well. I did some editing on it and a few other chapters, though I'm sure there's still plenty of mistakes.
Aww... I wanted the last word to be 'yet'.
made me laugh so hard~
May I suggest that Sombra goes into the grave digging business? I'll bet that they would need help with all the ponies he just fired from their jobs.
Delighted to see another chapter of this-- It was a most excellent blend of sadistic death and sweet twee!
Maybe he can go into headstone-carving.
