Sombra and Radiant Hope ventured through every crevice of Equestria to gather the missing pieces of Princess Amore. One day, Sombra discovered the final piece and the return of their loving Princess was nigh.

But what waits for Amore in a world that no longer feels like her own. What purpose could she serve when all of it has been relinquished? And what could she possibly do when she does not understand who exactly she is?

In the waning days of the Crystal Empire, three young students come together in an unlikely alliance: a King, a Princess... and a Queen... who has little reason to like either of the other two...

Given how readily King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, and Radiant Hope teamed up as allies in the Siege of the Crystal Empire, what might have happened if they'd actually formed that alliance a long time ago?

Note: as usual, I treat the comic storylines as an excellent starting point and reference, but not as absolute canon.

It had been a simple, simple question. A natural one, even. One she was surprised she'd never asked before. So naturally, once she'd realised that she'd never asked it, Twilight Sparkle had to do the most logical thing and ask.

In her, relatively speaking, not too short life, she'd always thought that no question wasn't meant to be asked. No answer, no matter how life changing it could be, should have not been given. Truth was a principle above the needs of the individuals, and it was always the right thing to know more of it.

It was in those spirits that she went to Celestia and asked that questions. And once she received her answer she realised she'd been wrong. Very, very, very wrong.

This story is a sequel to I Am Not Sombra

My mind is just so infested, to the point where I don't know who I am. The anger I have over the ponies who harmed me and took me away from what I lost still holds in my heart, and it drives me to agony. At least I can claim to be the ruler of a nation...

This story is a sequel to Wherever You Find Love

It's a new year for the students at Canterlot High, and with it comes new teachers and new students. But some things from the old year still linger, and for Sunset Shimmer and her friends, the specter of Anon-A-Miss still looms large. Though apologies have been made, they aren't enough to erase the pain, and sometimes things have to hurt a lot more before the pain can really go away. What's needed most for them right now is a doctor, and thankfully, Principal Celestia knows a good one.

EDIT: Now with a sequel!

Being brought back from death by his supporters and overthrowing Cadance has given Sombra a valuable hoofhold in Equestria. Yet to stand against his enemies, he might have to offer the unthinkable to a questionable ally.

Can a diabolic king survive a devilish queen?

A chance meeting in a diner offers them both the chance to fix the holiday season, but will they be strong enough to overcome the hopes and fears of all the years gone by?

After the events of Siege of the Crystal Empire, the ex-King Sombra and Radiant Hope travel the world to resemble Princess Amore to atone for Sombra's past mistakes. All the while dealing with demons of the past and preparing for the future.

Commissioned by Holycross9, a long time follower of mine.

Okay...if you've been following me for any length of time, you know that I hated Siege of the Crystal Empire. A lot. I've gone on record and said I consider it the worst comic IDW has ever produced. And that I considered Radiant Hope unsympathetic and do NOT like her.

But I ALSO said I had intents to do fix fics because I felt the amount wasted potential in that comic was a large part of why I hated it.

So when I got this commission, Holycross let me try to fix some of those issues while I was at it.

Note, I didn't say an ACCUSATION fic or a 'beat up the character I dislike' fic. I don't blieve in those.

This wasn't easy to do, given my feelings for the subject matter, but I'm okay with how it came out, I hope you like it!

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.
