Twilight Sparkle has been waiting eagerly for her copy of the newest Equestrinox novel. Now that she's finally got it in her hooves, though, it seems like all of her friends are in trouble and need her help. Will Twi find time to enjoy her book without leaving everypony hanging?

Twilight Sparkle has obtained the combined power of all four princesses of Equestria. Wielding this power, she confronts Lord Tirek, but the result of their fight is a tie. When he holds her friends hostage, she is forced to make a difficult choice.

All is not lost, however: one force remains in Equestria that could give her the edge she needs to defeat her foe, save her friends, and restore the world. She need only retrieve it from Zecora and place it around her neck...

Twilight Sparkle comes across a small, battered diary detailing a new form of transportation. While the research is sloppy and the notes incomplete, Twilight takes it upon herself to see that the ancient project is completed.

Of course, nopony said it would be easy.

This story is a sequel to Futility

After traversing a barren landscape, and apparently surviving a fatal spell, I have arrived in a literal heaven. But, Futility is always around me, even now. We are a doomed planet, unless we sacrifice her.
It seems fate has a sick sense of humor. But mark my words:

At the end of this battle, there will be at least one mare with a purple body and a neatly cut mane lying in the dirt dead.

And it won’t be me.

This story is a sequel to A Tale of the Sun, Moon, and Stars

Twilight Sparkle is embarking on a new path in her life, and Luna is there to guide her to the right one. At long last, it is time for the Stars to come home.

It was a semi-normal day as Twilight was mapping out the Everfree forest. She didn't know why, but she doesn't care. She told Spike to leave when she might get hurt, but she didn't care. Until see comes upon a magic cave that will charge her life forever. Now she wants to share her new found power with her friends.

Takes place right after games ponies play.

A young filly writes to the newly-crowned Princess Twilight, asking for advice.

She's made one small mistake, though, in assuming Twilight feels qualified to give it...

Twilight Sparkle, personal student of Princess Celestia, is sent by her teacher to retrieve a very specific book from the Royal Library. The only problem is, she doesn't know what it's called or where to find it.

Fortunately for her, libraries are the most orderly, most mundane and certainly the safest of places one could possibly be. Or, so she thinks.

Twilight is about to find out how very strange the world of books can truly be.
