One is a pegasus, coolheaded and (mostly) logical. The other is a bat pony with a tendency to misinterpret things. She must cope with the new envirovenment, as well as sceptical colleagues, who don't believe that bat pony culture could be so much different. It couldn't be...right?

This story is a sequel to Costume Calamity

Trixie has been asked by Twilight Sparkle to assist her in a task. Nothing special; just bending the will of the universe to their will, crossing several ethical lines, that kind of stuff, all for the sake of a friend.

Meanwhile, Big Macintosh eagerly prepares for a date with a certain mint unicorn. But as we all know, things tend to go awry in Ponyville....

Sometimes, the universe seems to enjoy crushing your dreams or hopes. Sometimes, such events unfold that everyone thought impossible. Sometimes, these events were instigated by a single decision. This is the story of such a decision.

Many years ago, a simple unicorn, without meaning to, has changed the future of Equestria. Was it not for her, Twilight Sparkle might not have been coronated. Faced with her conscience, the pony now realises she is single-hoofedly responsible for the best thing that happened to Equestria since many lifetimes... but it came at a price. A price, that she will reveal now, for her life is ending.

Trixie Lulamoon.
Braggart, performer, and vengeful villain.
Why did she choose to go to Ponyville in the first place? Why does nopony know anything about her?
Why doesn't anypony know where she has gone?

This story is a sequel to Apples For Thought

Nightmare Night... A celebration with candy, costumes and a side serving of fright. But mostly costumes. Twilight Sparkle receives a letter of challenge... from no other than Trixie Lulamoon, to match their skills... in costume making!

Sequel to Apples for Thought.
Some plot elements carry over, but can be read as a standalone, if need arises.

After her recent screw-up in Canterlot, the Great and Powerful Trixie decides to leave the city. However, she forgot one crucial part: food. Can she convince a silent farmpony to part with his prized fruits, or will her ego get in the way, as usual?
