Thousands of years ago Princess Luna grew jealous of her sisters' popularity and transformed into the dark visage of Nightmare Moon, but is that all that happened?

Celestia may have been able to defeat Nightmare Moon with the power of the Elements of Harmony, but were rendered useless when turned on the Element of Magic herself, Midnight Sparkle. But in her grief-stricken mind Midnight fled to mourn the banishment of her fiancée. But now, almost 1000 years later with Nightmare Moon's return imminent, Midnight has a new plan.

It's been awhile since I've written anything, and this idea has been in my head since 2017, I just couldn't find the inspiration to but it to actual words. So, here it is, my attempt at a longer story with a premise I've wanted on this website for half a decade. I've read a lot of romance between Luna and Twilight but the ones where Twilight is born in a different time period usually have her as Luna's daughter. I wanted one where Twilight was the lover of Luna and willingly joined her in the fight against Celestia. It turns out I couldn't find one, so I decided to write it myself.

Like I said, I've not written seriously in awhile so stuff might look really weird, please point out typos, weird commas, or run-on sentences -- I tend to struggle with stuff like that a lot. Plus, there will be many chapters where I attempt to use Old English, if there are any glaring issues with my attempts at that, let me know.

Also, if anyone knows of a cover image that would be good for this story, let me know

Twilight Sparkle, 3 years before she would travel to Ponyville, woke up one morning to a blue box floating over her head.

"Congratulations, you have been chosen to be [The Gamer]!"

Bereft of her normal, mundane life, Twilight decides to utilize her new abilities to their fullest. Her entire view of reality had been shifted to that of a game, her body changed to something reminiscent of a video game character, and she can only wonder why.

Unfortunately, something lurks within the shadows trying to take advantage of her newfound power. The world its garden and the universe its kingdom, The Man in Black knows only one thing: Babylon will fall, and everything else with it.

(Crossover between The Gamer Manhwa and My Little Pony. Elements of Cthulhu mythos).

Twilight grew up a loving mare. To wake up on the moon as a new pony was something unexpected... But how she got there is going to be even more unexpected... As she begins to regain her memory, her questions only get harder to answer... She longs for the good days with Celestia and her friends... But somethings the past is a dangerous place to go...

And it definitely isn't going to be fun...

(Rated gore for safety in future chapters)

Twilight's abilities stem from her Gamer power which makes her life like an RPG. How will this affect her life? Let's find out!

So, probably thanks to a weird storm, my frat brothers and I, as well as my uncle, finds ourselves in all to familiar place. This might not be a bad thing...if we all weren't turned into a creature that didn't belong in this other world. To make matter worse, we have been scattered across this new world, and need to find each other before we can figure out how to move forward.
That prove easier said than done, as the antics of the town folk, (and a let cause by us) made that task a little hard. But I'm sure we can manage, we made some good friends that can help us weather we coming next, and maybe even have a little fun along the way.
Oh, and there's a well. Don't know why I just said that, but there's a well for some reason.

This is an experiment, to see if I can get back into writing certain types of stories, so don't expect regular updates a lot

Gamer-type fic, inspired by Clicker Heroes

Reincarnation doesn't always go forward in time. Sometimes it goes in a loop, as in the case of Twilight Sparkle. She lives, she fights, she gets allies. Than she dies, improves herself and friends, and occasionally buys something that makes the world a better place. Finally, she is reborn and lose her memory. Rinse and Repeat.

However, with her rising to Alicorn, she has unlocked a few new things that would make her lives easier. The down side? In order to afford these, the world needs a hard reset. The temptation? She could keep her memories.

Soon Twilight Sparkle will see just how much she has done for the land of Equestria over her many lives, and see first hand what it was to start with. Thankfully, with no sarcasm for once, Discord is here to help her build the world back up.

This story is a sequel to Saving Sunset Shimmer

Faced with Nightmare Moon's approaching return, Twilight, Tempest, and their classmates need help from an expert on the subject... a pony named Moondancer. There's just one problem: it's the last thing Moondancer wants to talk about...

"The Night is not as forgiving as the Day."
When Twilight agrees to become Princess Luna's personal student, she discovers the hard way what Luna's Night and her Lunar Court are really all about.

This story is thematically a darker flip-side to "My Little Student", but is written so that it can read on its own. Also, while for the most part this is arguably compatible with show canon, I've turned on the AU tag anyway, just to allow myself a little elbow-room for world-building.

For almost a thousand years, the immortal Nightmare Moon has reigned over Equestria as Empress. To the average pony, Nightmare Moon is an overarching enigma whose rule is absolute and whose wrath is terrible. But to Twilight Sparkle, who as an orphan has never known her parents, the Empress is something else entirely. When the young unicorn is brought under the royal wing as an apprentice, she learns a great deal more about the supposed tyrant than she ever knew. But as Twilight is introduced to life with her new mentor, she is thrust into a world of political intrigue, conspiracies and secrets. Secrets that were never meant to be revealed. As allies and enemies plot against the very peace of the nation, will Twilight fall prey to the perils of her new position? Or will she prosper and find in Nightmare Moon the mother she never had?
