Trixie wows the crowd with her dazzling displays, and mastery of all things magical.

Twilight has just become an alicorn, a ruling Princess of Equestria. For a brief time, all seems well. But when both the reality of her new station and a dark secret behind Equestria's history finally confront her in full force, Twilight is forced to make decisions that could change the face of the Kingdom and ponykind forever. Now, nothing will stand between her, her friends, and finding the truth, not even the Princesses themselves. Alicorn Twilight cover art by Esipode.

After a long time letting it lay dormant, I've decided to give this story a complete reboot. Much of the original plot will be kept largely intact, but the focus has changed completely from the alicorn immortality itself to Twilight discovering its true nature and the history behind it. The clunky old wording and dialogue is being updated and improved as well.

Twilight Sparkle faces the end of the world as she knows it. An epic three book series depicting the fall of Equestria and the rise of a new nation from the ashes.
I promise you intrepid explorers, bumbling changelings, lost civilizations, murderous trees, villainous nieces, flaming timberwolves, meddling time lords, graceful airships, monstrous bears, frozen dragons, mysterious cities, penitent farmers, stolen kisses, mythical gemstones, foreboding Pinkie twitches, missed parties, epic magical battles, unhelpful zebras, and perhaps even a phoenix or two.
I laughed, cried, and squeed while writing it; I hope you enjoy it too!
Features primarily Twilight Sparkle, Sunny Daze, and an OC, Apollo Dawn.

Rated T for brief (where appropriate) gore. This was written before season 3: it's in a season 2 universe; there are already some conflicts with season 3's canon... please disregard them.

I will be posting one chapter every day. If you want to read the entire story right away, you can find it at http://www.bronyville.org/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=4020&p=135925#p135925

If anybody feels like contributing artwork, feel free; and I'll likely add it to the appropriate chapter of the story.
If anyone wants to do a spin-off with some of the same characters, feel free, and let me know! I, myself, will probably make future fics using Apollo and his crew. There are some characters there who I didn't get to play around with and develop as much as I'd like to.

Twilight Sparkle is accepted into Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns and gets a little more than what she bargained for.

(If you object to swearing, please skip chapter 6. That's the one chapter that bumps this story straight up to a Teen rating.)

When a rift tears Princess Twilight Sparkle's relationship with her first Lt. Rainbow Dash,
a war breaks out between Commander Rainbow's rebels and Equestrian forces.
Will Twilight come to the realization of her faults, or will her tyranny continue unto her downfall?

Some things in this world happen by chance. Others do not. Twilight Sparkle is about to learn a disturbing truth that will turn her world upside down.

This is the story of the end. This is the story of the death of Equestria. It is the story of the reign of her royal majesty, Princess Twilight Sparkle of the Fading Sun.

The alicorn sisters are dead and Equestria has turned to Twilight Sparkle to guide it. However, just maintaining a dim sun a fraction as bright as her mentor's keeps the new princess near her limits.

Years have passed and Twilight Sparkle is sure of only one thing. Equestria is dying.

NOTE: Written before "It's about Time" in season 2. Everything after "Read it and Weep" was ignored throughout this story.

Twilight Sparkle, Celestia and Luna are transported into a strange alternate Equestria, the Land of Always Summer, where the day lasts forever and a terrible queen rules with an iron hoof.

Feel free to check out or add to the story's TV Tropes page.

Warning: Philosophically dark.

A lot has happened since Celestia and Luna disappeared nine hundred years ago. There are no wars, no diseases, no pain, no death. Princess Twilight, Discord, and Spike do everything to ensure that the utopia continues.

But even the most ideal paradises have ponies that wish it wasn't so.

Story inspired by Mister Saugrenu’s artwork 1000 Years in the Future.

Your worst villains are not those born evil, but those who become evil.

Yeah I decided to write something for the Twyrants Kingdom competition So I put a five minute timer on my phone and started writing. I then hit snooze until I had typed for about 35 minutes and then edited for about 10

Also leave a comment for downvotes, I know the story isn't great (I mean you get out what you put in after all), but I still want to know what you did not like so I can avoid it in my more serious stories
