Picture a world where Twilight Sparkle wasn't born a mare, but a stallion named "Dusk Shine"; now, picture Dusk Shine wasn't born a pony, but a human. This follows the re-imagined story of Dusk Shine and the Mane Five in the world of Equestria, as humans, and witness Dusk shine's growth into prosperity while dealing with the feelings of his five female friends as they try to win him over.

Warning: There are perverse Akamatsu/Takehashi/Kajishimi/Ikeda/Okuda calibur harem antics and this fanfic is a reinmagining of the original Unexpected Love Life of Dusk Shine created by Memeasaurus, which had been discontinued due to the author's inability to handle demands. Also, this story features humanized ponies; so, be prepared for a whole lot of boobs!

Male ADHD!Twilight, Female Jerk!Spike, Everyone else is canonically the same personality-wise but I can't say the same for gender.
Warning: Sexual References, Off-Character Rule 63 on some characters, swearing, rather harsh backstory, constant reminders of how Dusk Shine is best pony, everypony hates main character, and more.

Dusk Shine is a genius with a horrible case of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, he cannot sit still for more than five minutes without becoming jittery and unfocused, unable to focus on one thing at a time, and uncontrollable impulsiveness. Despite this disorder, Dusk Shine has gone on to do many great feats and accomplishments.

Dusk Shine shows pride in his talent and accomplishments, maybe a little too much. Actually excessive to the point where many psychologists believe Dusk Shine has a God-like Complex. Actually, Dusk Shine just thinks he's better than everyone.

If only Dusk Shine wasn't such an annoying, selfish jerk to Celestia by mistake, he wouldn't be forced to watch over the preparations of the boring Summer Sun Celebration instead of preparing for the return of Nightmare Moon.

Dusk Shine's Superiority Complex is brought to you by inspiration from this chap.

Dusk Shine and Sunset Shimmer accidentally kissed under a ladder. A day later, Sunset Shimmer requests that Dusk Shine go out with her. Dusk will soon understand that there is more to the date than just a simple dinner.

Pairing: Sunset ShimmerXDusk Shine

This story is a sequel to A Tale of Two Dusks

Dusk Shine has never been particularly interested in making friends. Most of his time has been spent investigating the strange conspiracy theories surrounding Canterlot High, with occasional snark fights with his sister.

However, after meeting Sonata Dusk, he promised to help her out, and he plans to follow through with that promise. But between Dusk's inexperience with the whole "friendship" thing, the mysterious events that tend to occur around Canterlot High School, a pair of sirens who are still on the loose, Sunset's well-meaning but unhelpful friends, a mother who seems intent on welcoming a new member of the family, a bunch of students who are still not quite willing to forgive Sonata, and a girl who sees her as a threat for a very different reason, he feels as if he may have bitten off more than he can chew.

Hopefully he'll figure it out. And maybe even discover something greater than friendship.

Reading A Tale Of Two Dusks is not strictly necessary, but it will be helpful!

Also, a big thanks to Tennis Match Fan for the cover pic, as well as for proofreading!

Following the realignment of the Elements of Harmony, Princess Celestia ponders the destiny of her loyal student Dusk Shine. As she recollects all his successes and failures on the path he chose for himself without her guiding hoof, the great question does not become any easier to answer...

Can she really hand the future of Equestria and perhaps all ponykind to such a cold, solitary, and faithless stallion?

Rule 63 Twilight fic, alternate universe and moonlit contemplation. What more could fans ask for?!

Defeated by the Rainbooms, Aria and Adagio finally have enough of Sonata Dusk, and banish her from the group with some incredibly harsh words.

Broken and remorseful of her actions, Sonata sits alone at a cafe, wondering what to do with her life. It is there that she meets a boy who might be able to help her. A boy who might allow her to redeem herself for her actions with the Dazzlings.

A boy who kind of resembles one of her former rivals.

Just some silly shipping that I dreamed up because I honestly can't think of anything else. Seriously, writer's block is baaaad.

Also, Dusk Shine X Sonata Dusk = DuskDusk OTP. Don't deny it.

Seriously. Just try to think of a better ship name than DuskDusk. I dare you.

Also, I totally made a group for it. For realzies.

My Little Pony, Friendship Is Magic, as told by Dusk Shine, Princess Celestia's asocial, conspiracy theorist, and unrepentantly punny student. An AU fic that both expands upon and diverges from canon. Follow the misadventures of Dusk Shine as he navigates the waters of social interaction and friendship with varying degrees of success, follows the show pretty closely at the start, but as the story progresses it will drift further from canon.

Dusk Shine has dealt with many trails throughout his life. From clashing with Nightterror Nebula to outwitting the mischievous Eris to thwarting King Nymphamos’s invasion, he'd seen it all.

All in all, Dusk Shine would admit that life was hardly easy. And now, Dusk finds that his mentor's self loathing is the least of his problems as he finds himself thrust into a world where he and his friend... are mares?
