This story is a sequel to Trapped in Slumber

In the aftermath of a series of events at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, Twilight finds herself open to a whole new world of friendship and the complications that brings. It's a good thing she has a mentor to look towards for guidance, even as dark events unfold in the shadows, pulling her along in a game of cosmic scale.

A long time ago, something was placed into our universe and no one noticed. In that moment, one timeline became two, running parallel. Nothing would be different, nothing would change... until that fateful night. We were the unlucky ones.

Meditations on banishment, society, guilt, and divinity — all explored through the lens of a broken relationship between two goddesses.

The first chapter was originally published as a chapter in Missing Pages & Scrawled Footnotes on September 3rd, 2016. It has since been revised and expanded. The third chapter was also originally presented as a chapter in the same anthology on April 27th, 2019. Contribute to the TVTropes page!

For every villain was somepony's hero ...

My entrance in the Dialogue Only Contest.

Technically a prequel to my other fic, The Twilight Prince: Redux, and uses common worldbuilding, but should be readable as a stand alone one-shot.

During her battle with Starlight, Twilight is sent to multiple futures that differ from her own where she and her friends had saved the world from its many threats. But what if she wasn't able to escape from the villain who had taken over the world to get back to her own time? What if she had to fight them again, this time without her friends as she knew them?

Set during the season 5 finale "The Cutie Remark"

When Ditzy Hooves meets a terrified young mare in the heart of Ponyville, she cannot begin to comprehend the nightmare that is about to unfold. Soon, the demonic Nightmare Moon will overshadow the land in an eternal night, and a broken knight must lead five mares up from the bottom of society to overcome the greatest threat her world has seen in a thousand years. Each of them carries terrible failures and a lifetime of regret, but it is only by overcoming the weight of the past that the sun can shine in the future.

This is the story of the Twilit Night, and the children who would dare to bring an end to it.

Staring at the sun makes you go blind.

In a separate universe, Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle were born into the world as alicorn princesses, twin daughters of Empress Celestia. One day, they were sent away to Ponyville, where they were destined to meet 5 special ponies. The story is as we know it; with loyalty, kindness, honesty, generosity, laughter, magic... betrayal, distrust, danger... and so much more.

-Aevum

Celestia has a secret. There is a voice in her head. It plays a game she doesn't really understand but fears all the same. It wants her, and with everypony that knows of its existence its power grows. She has kept it away for as long as she can remember.

Luna is set to return, and with it, a friend of the voice. Can Celestia endure the voice's games and strengthen her relationship with Luna, or will she lose everything to it?

Probably some of the dumbest shit I have written to date. This exists solely because I was told not to make it by my Editor, who refused to have anything to do with the idea because it was so stupid.

So naturally, I did it anyway. Sorry, Kurtis. It's just way too funny to watch you squirm <3

Heavily ripped off from inspired by the Yujiro Vs. Series on the SuperXavier Youtube Channel, and driven almost entirely by spite, irony, and ill-advised quantities of weekend cannabis consumption.

If you are familiar with the series, you already know what to expect. if not well...I 'm sure it'll become apparent rather quickly.
