Twilight Sparkle has always known her parents. Twilight Velvet and Moon Catcher. But if they aren't her true parents? Say goodbye to her current reality. Follow Twilight as she earns the crown, and meets challenges on the way.

Rated Teen for Violence in later chapters (these also explain the Dark tag.)
Alternate Universe for the fact that Twilight has different parents.
Romance for a little TwiDash that will be pretty light until The Sole Ruler-The Epilogue will be pretty romantic too.
Despite the two ominous tags, it is quite light save three chapters (Melding the Crowns, Darkness, and The Elements)
Art is not mine.

The idea is from TheVulpineHero1's "If Life Gives You Apples"-I suggest you read it!- and instead of 100 word shorts, it shall be 200 words. It won't follow the poetic-ness of "If Life Gives You Apples", though I hope it deserves a few thumbs!

I love crit and help, so offer it away!

A one-shot Romance with Pinkie and Twilight, I think you'll like the ending :D Crit is welcome!

Derpy Hooves is known for her Derpiness, obviously. But when a doctor offers a chance to remove her Derpiness permanently, she can't help but leap at it. The Lazy Eye she's "cursed" with leaves her teased and taunted, with no depth perception either. So she has reasoning, right? But will cold hooves get her, and lead her to back out? Or will her self-defining trait that she has lived with be gone for eternity?

--Seeking any helpful crit, and editing tips are amazing!
