This story is a sequel to Possession in the Crystal Empire

Private Iceland is recovering from his ordeal at the hooves of King Sombra, who possessed him and caused his current injuries. He still suffers nightmares and has trouble sleeping. He also longs for his favorite breakfast, pancakes. The dull tasting hospital food is not helping with that at all.

However, is he safe? Is he truly free from the pony that tormented him and his brother? He is in the middle of the Crystal Empire, with an active Crystal Heart, plenty of guards and an alicorn princess nearby. Is that enough to stop a very unscheduled, unexpected, unwanted visit? Especially if it's off hours?

A certain evil overlord doesn't think so.

This story is part of The Equestria Tales series.

Side-story in "Return of The Dark Ponies" story arc.

This one shot is marked as sequel to Possession in the Crystal Empire, as it is a direct follow up to that story.

After the Gabby Gums incident rarity in a fit of rage hurts her sister Sweetie Belle’s feelings.
Sweetie Belle then runs away from home to find a new life.
Meanwhile Rarity search’s for Sweetie with her friends to tell her she didn’t mean it and she will always love her.

Seven years after the show, and things have changed. Starlight married her childhood sweetheart, and now they're having a foal of their own. Dark forces are aligning though, and they're targeted by an enemy that no-one could have predicted. Fortunately, an equally unpredictable ally has also arrived, and is ready to fight to protect them. Luna and the mysterious stranger must work together to defeat their insane attacker.

AU tag because I'm ignoring the Season 6 finale and because of the reveal at the very end. Additional character tags (yes the spoiler cover is for a reason): Star Swirl

“For I would rather betray the world, than have the world betray me.”

Thrown away by the outbreak of war, the heroes of Equestria face themselves against one of the most powerful and destructive force they had once reckoned with many times before.

Not only that, but everyone is against the century long monarch of harmony. Armies are being put up. Coups are being held. The dictatorship of one’s nation against the people is getting stronger by day, by night.

With reasons, come actions.

And with that, begins the saga of the war that will separate friendships and tie new ones.

Thrown into chaos, war is everyone’s refuge.

This story is a sequel to The Wrong Mare

The world is aflame and broken. In the Crystal Empire, Rarity tries to ensure her part of the world is less broken than the world outside it, starting with finally taking proper care of the little filly that's supposed to rule it one day. But between the Empress Nightmare Moon's plans for Equus, the damage of Sombra's short but brutal second reign, the danger of the Changeling Hegemony on the western border, and her own personal problems, it's going to be a lot of things, but not easy.

Important: this takes place in the Equestria At War universe. Equestria At War is a mod for the grand strategy game Hearts of Iron IV, be sure to check out their Discord and Reddit if you're not familiar with it. They also have a group on this site: https://www.fimfiction.net/group/212917/equestria-at-war

I couldn't find any Rarity and Flurry Heart art, so I made it myself (hence why it's not very good). This is the base I used: https://www.deviantart.com/elementbases/art/MLP-Base-248-789800058

Rated Teen for sadness, the consequences of war and a deranged tyrant ruling over a nation for a good two and half years, a four-year old orphan and all that entails, crude humour, and possibly more to be added in the future.

WARNING: I have no plan or outline for this story, this is purely a passion project, if it ends up dying in a few weeks months time I'll tell you. I am now in possession of a general outline and plan for this story, not to worry.

This story is a sequel to Play Date

Written as a second submission of the "Shining Armor is a Terrible Dad 2024" Contest

Flurry Heart has grown to love her play dates with her dad, but as she's gotten older, their adventures have gotten more dangerous, much to Cadance's dismay.

After learning about their human counterparts in the world beyond the mirror, Cadance and Shining Armor begin to wonder about the pony counterpart of Abacus Cinch.

The original minific version of this story took 11th place in the October, 2015 Writeoff Association contest, "Illusion of Choice," and the cover artwork is courtesy of poecillia-gracilis19.

"... a unicorn whose heart was black as night..." - that's what Princess Celestia called him. Not a draconequus or a changeling, but a fellow pony. How could a pony become so evil? How could he harm other ponies? Aren't they the most peaceful creatures there ever were? Why did this unicorn follow such dark path?

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
- This story is placed in different universe that 'Rebirth of the Damned' and 'Project Eclipse', not to mention my other stories. When I finally reach 'Crystal Empire' Arc within RotD, King Sombra there will have different background.

Sombra had been defeated and imprisoned for one thousand long years, though all was not lost as he had changed the Crystal Heart to work in his favour instead, he then goes on to try and restore his empire to its former glory.

Meet the new bad guy, Eric McBad! He has tried to become a villain all his life, now that he can control an empire, he will make the world bend to his cartoonish villainy!
