This story is a sequel to Hive Alive

After the chaotic series of events that created it, Twilight's small hive is now positioned with her at the peak of Equestrian authority. Not all are pleased by this. A coup has just been averted and the plots of those behind it may still be in motion.

With all other alicorns away and Discord gone with them, Equestria's history will be written by only one mare. She and her hive of friends and lovers are already being dragged into the tragedy of power-seeking pony elites, invaders, and ancient evils.

It begins as Cloudsdale falls...

GENERAL NOTES
1. Please see the age rating note below for a disclaimer on content and general story mood.
2. This is the direct sequel to Hive Alive. There is no significant time jump between stories.
3. Due to the length of Hive Alive and the time since it was finished, I have put together a useful timeline summary. Those interested in remembering key details from the 230,000+ word story will be able to do so easily. It is posted in a blog entry here.
4. Recommended to be read with the background color set to "Dark" via Formatting. It's the changeling thing to do. Chrysalis approved.

UPDATES
Biweekly. One new 3,000-4,000 word chapter every other Wednesday.

AGE AND CONTENT RATING
Rated Teen for violence, non-graphic injury, some crude language or terminology, innuendo, and suggestive content. No explicit scenes or descriptions will be included. Deaths may be mentioned but are not detailed. The intent of the story is not to be entirely serious or dark and therefore is not tagged as such. There will be more cheery scenes to come after the beginning chapters and thus this should not be confused with going the path of improperly tagged grimdark.

Alternate front cover is in progress.

This story is a sequel to Hive Alive

Non-contiguous and non-canon micro-stories related to Hive Alive. Just for fun.

Being in a pony hive can be a little strange. Especially when certain ponies have feelings for other ponies and everypony knows it intimately. The hivemind races at a speed that non-changelings have difficulty keeping up with. Every moment feels like a thousand...

Too Hot
Twilight tries her hoof at flirting. Chrysalis misses it.

Perfect Marriage
Chrysalis preps for her wedding. Rarity fusses about.

The Hive Before Halloween
It's almost Halloween and Chrysalis is stealing candy.

Take Two
Hive Alive is a movie production and Discord is the director.

Shy My Heart
Twilight comes to terms with her feelings for Fluttershy and what it might mean for the others.

NOTES
1. I'll keep this incomplete until I finish Hive Alive. I might post more stuff to this in the meantime.
2. Apparently, I'm willing to poke fun at my own productions. It's good to step back once in a while and have a good laugh.

This story is a sequel to Queen No More

Twilight Sparkle made the most foolish and selfless decision possible. She saved the life of Queen Chrysalis. The dynamics of Twilight's relationships begin to change as Chrysalis introduces the changeling hivemind to her pony caretaker. Chrysalis' only hope was to relieve her loneliness, but events begin to unfold that will change Equestria forever.

Nothing is stronger than the power of redemption...

NOTES
1. This is the sequel to Queen No More but there is a time jump between its end and Hive Alive's beginning.
2. This is Alternate universe due to the fact that this story will run off of a disparate timeline. Events forward of season 2 may be similar OR significantly altered.
3. There is mention in Chapter 3 of an old changeling tale titled As a Star. A version of this has been written by Farseer.

NO MORE UPDATES: The story is complete. A sequel has been made: Queen of Equestria.

In the magical land of Equestria, two alicorn sisters raise the Sun and the Moon every day to give the world a night and day cycle, basic for the survival of life. There are also two alicorns who rule over two very core aspects of life and harmony itself. Those are Love and Friendship. While not as ancient as the two sisters, all princesses are essential to the world's balance.
This balance is also sustained by the hard-working ponies, who make the seasons change and manage the weather to fit their needs, so everypony has enough food and water, and every animal is also attended to assure that any of them are caught in the changes of seasons.

But what about the planet itself? What about Mother Nature?
This is the question that Gaia asks when she arrives to this foreign world. After so much work her son persuaded her to take a long vacation in Equestria, saying that she needed one and assuring her that he would be in charge now, and she must take a break. But what can a several billion-year old alicorn possibly do to pass her time in this land?

This story is a sequel to Relatives, Reactions, and One Irate Prince

Twi's got a LOT of explaining to do for the whole being related to BOTH ruling Princesses. Turns out there are a few more royals in Ponyville however....

Octavia was always one for planning ahead. Whether it be dinner that night or her career years away, she always had an idea of how to get there. The right amount of practice, the proper performance to the right pony, and she could see her life progressing exactly as it should.

However, suddenly turning into an alicorn kind of put a damper on her plans.

Story thirteen in my Twidash Challenge: Secondary Pairing (Quite Obviously)

*Contains slight diaper usage*

Twilight Sparkle, as hungry for knowledge as the great unicorn mage Starswirl the Bearded, has created a portal to the multiverse, where endless wisdom awaits her. Excited, proud, and perhaps too tired to be thinking straight, Twilight jumps right into adventure! What does she find? Well, she certainly isn't too big for her britches... compared to the giant horses she meets, how could she be? Suddenly feeling pretty small, Twilight finds herself a foal for a night until she can find a way to prove she's intelligent. Well, it could be worse; at least these Big Horses make some pretty good parents.

This is an unoffical sequel to Puny Purple Pony, written with permission from The Conflicted Writer,

Twilight attempts to open portals to other worlds, including the one of the Big Ponies, in order to see how much better she can do this time round.

However, a misstep and a tripping over a certain Chaos master's tail lands Twilight back in the Big Ponies' world, but will she be able to return as soon as she had last time and what will she discover in this world that is tied to her destiny?

Teen for possible violence later. slice of life is meant to include adventure because of a little exploring later down the track and romance is because of the two Big Ponies Twi knows.
