King Sombra had long been corrupted by darkness. To rid him of it, Radiant Hope was forced to make a terrible sacrifice.

Now, Sombra may be free, but he has lost the only pony he ever really cared about. To get her back, Sombra must descend into the Prison of Shadows and brave the wrath of his own people, the Umbrum. But even with the unexpected aid of Princess Cadance, the quest to save Hope will be a treacherous and perilous one. And as he plumbs the depths for answers, Sombra may find it hard to live with what ultimately comes to light.

1000 years ago, the Crystal Empire disappeared, leaving one pony lost, homeless, and full of self-blame.

Dedicating herself to discovering what happened and setting things right, Radiant Hope departed for the Frozen North, looking to find and understand Sombra's people. What she finds instead is the frontier town of Whinnysburg, where a deadly plague is swiftly winnowing the population. It seems like it will be an easy task for such a powerful healer to halt the plague and save the town.

But when the plague proves immune to even Radiant Hope's powerful healing magic, she vows to use any means necessary in order to defeat it. In the ensuing struggle, she will encounter an evil unlike anything she has ever known. To overcome it, Hope may have to tread on darker paths herself, paths that may just lead to her alliance with the Umbrum and the near-demise of the Crystal Empire 1000 years in the future.

Radiant Hope thought she could save Sombra from himself. Instead, she lost everything.

Alone and hurting, Hope finds her way to Seaddle and tries to settle down into a quiet and obscure life where she can be left to her sorrow. That is, until she crosses paths with Starlight Glimmer, who realizes that Hope could be the key to setting her own dubious plans into motion. They may not like each other, but before either of them knows it, a series of events launches them on a perilous journey along the western coast of Equestria and they must depend upon each other to survive.

Enter a devotee of Starlight's who takes this whole "Equality" thing a little too seriously, a quack doctor with an ego the size of Manehatten, a wandering lunatic that's convinced he's Starswirl the Bearded, and a secret agent intent on protecting the princesses at all costs, and things get complicated rather quickly. Everypony has their own agenda and nothing is what it appears to be. Through it all, Hope and Starlight will be forced to take a hard look at their lives and the choices they've made. But if they can manage to make peace with their respective pasts, our heroines might just have a shot at that rarest of things; redemption.

(For Radiant Hope, this story diverges at the conclusion the Siege of the Crystal Empire arc (Issue 37). It diverges between The Cutie Map and The Cutie Re-Mark for Starlight Glimmer.)

After Twilight closed off the mirror pool, everypony thought that they would never have to deal with more than one Pinkie Pie ever again.

They thought wrong. It turns out things did not get tied up so neatly after all, and now the Pinkie Pie clones are back with a score to settle against a certain lavender alicorn, with the fate of all Equestria in the balance.

Can Twilight, the original Pinkie, and the rest of the Mane Six find a way to overcome the greatest - and pinkest - menace they have ever faced, or will Equestria be transformed into an empire of pink?

It has been ten years since the Cutie Mark Crusaders died.

Or so the world thinks. Only few know that, faced with the blame for a terrible crime, the Crusaders went on the run, and have now built new lives for themselves as vigilantes fighting for the oppressed and the downtrodden. Overall, it is a happy existence full of excitement and adventure that keeps them from thinking too much about what they left behind.

But what happens when the Crusaders' newest job takes them back to the one place they had vowed never to return: Ponyville? Shall they finally be able to clear their names and bring justice back to the town? Or might facing the past have even more painful consequences than the Crusaders realize?

Either way, it may just be the most explosive homecoming ever.
