King Sombra came from an old age, a time where darkness and evil were prevalent across the land. The Princesse's power and influence were weaker in those days, for the land of Equestria was divided amongst many kingdoms of lesser Princesses and Princes. But out of all their ruling neighbors, The Four Shepherds held the most power of all, even threatening Celestia and Luna's kingdom. However, all of that changed when they vanished for a thousand years, ushering in a new era of peace and prosperity. Until that is, when the Crystal Kingdom reappeared, along with one of the Shepherds. King Sombra, however, was thankfully vanquished swiftly, but the following peace of his defeat would not last as long as anypony might think. A new force sets its eyes on the recently coronated Princess Twilight Sparkle, one that seeks to restore a lost heritage and remind the land of who is the true owner of the night. For when one evil is smitten, another appears in its place. And King Sombra was only the first in line.

Set before Season 4

Special thanks to my editor Ladrian for his diligent and superb work. I wish I had him when I first started this story because maybe then the early chapters would have been much better.

Special thanks to Stanku for revisions and prereading this story. It would be at a much worse state had it not been for his detailed opinions to each and every chapter, and letting me know where I can improve.

10/2/2014 : Woah... it's on the featured list... *cue squealing and fist pumping* THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

Everypony tries to plan out their lives. Sometimes people must make choices and let go of issues in order to find and achieve that plan. We can all shape our own destiny, but it requires making those choices, both easy and hard ones, and even taking unknown paths which may lead to something even greater than one could imagine. Sometimes it leads to simple things, like getting some coffee with a new friend or once it has even lead to something as big as becoming part of represeting harmony in Equestria.

Making choices is part of everyday life and Wild Soul and Noble Poet are no exceptions. When the dream chasing designer, unicorn and dream searching earth pony are forced to leave the great city of Canterlot for the humble town of Ponyville, they’ll soon notice how the ponies they befriend are starting to drag them in the middle of a secret that is far larger than anything they or any pony could have expected.

All seemed normal at a fair being held in honor of Twilight becoming an alicorn, but then one of the Mane Six went missing in a terrible fire. Everything that could have gone wrong, did. But, that's what you can expect when a group of ponies attempts to overthrow the throne.

Prequel: Birthday Dash (read at your own risk, I know it's terribly written)

If you don't want to read it, then I'll quickly get you up to speed . . .
The day before the first chapter was Rainbow Dash's birthday, and Queen Chrysalis attempted to drain the life out of her by having her Changelings pose as her ponynapped Parents (Spectrum Dash and Firefly) for the purpose of eliminating the Elements of Harmony's power and enabling her to take the throne. In the final fight, Rainbow Dash gets her wing broken. Enjoy!
Sequel: Broken Feathers: Frozen North
Edited now so it should be pretty good.

Two thousand years after the return of Princess Luna, Equestria's technology and magic has advanced far enough that the once far off dream of faster than light travel is now a reality.

And that reality is the ES Harmony, the pride of its designer, Princess Twilight Sparkle, and Equestria's first FTL capable starship. It is due to make its maiden voyage to travel further than anypony before it.

And yet when they receive a distress call from origins unknown, this ship's maiden voyage will become one the crew will never forget.

(Not a strict crossover with Star Trek, but here Equestria Girls takes place in the Star Trek Universe)

For the longest time, I'd considered the word "universe" to be accurate when describing mankind's plane of existence. While I was under no delusions about us being the only sentient race in the cosmos, I, like many others, believed that the way our universe worked and the way physics behaved were the only way things could be done; after all, we had never experienced anything else, and everything we knew about the way our universe worked and the laws of reality revolved around our specific set of physical laws.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, as the case may be), we were very wrong about our choice of how to name our reality: "universe" was largely inaccurate, since there appeared to be more than one...and both forces and creatures considered to be of myth and legend existed in another plane of existence, too far away to ever touch until now.

Years ago, Coco Pommel rescued a young laborer in Manehattan's textile district when she was on a delivery shift for Suri. Realizing that every reformed villain or assistant needs a project, she sets out to adopt the filly, Babs Seed, as soon as Rarity leaves Manehattan. But between her daughter's troubled past, bitter relatives, and a disputing producer and director on her Bridleway set, Coco soon finds that giving love--and getting it--may be harder than anypony ever imagined...especially when it comes to forgiving herself.

Takes place during late S4 and S5. Romance elements come in Act III. Edited by Smaug the golden, Elusive Element, Harry S Faustin, and pokefreak13. Cover art by DreamscapeValley

In the grim and dark future of the 41st Century, there is only war.
Or maybe not... Sometimes, war is not the only reality ponies of the Imperium face. Not even Spacemares only wage wars. Not even Equustodes. Sometimes, even in the middle of the battlefield, there are stories, lessons, bounds which can mark a pony forever.

These are such stories.

These are short stories, one shots and such narrating some of the adventures and banters of the Mane Six in the grim and dark future of the 41st millennium. While they are set in the same universe as them, I'll try to make them as independent as possible from The Mare in the Warp and the the other stories, but there may be some references from time to time (one way or the other).

I'd still recommend reading the Mare in the Warp.

This story is a sequel to Equestria Girls...?

Continuation of my story series they are pretty much required reading beforehand otherwise you would be very confused. But for those just starting.
An accident brought me here... Equestria, it was strange, amazing, frightening and wonderful. We might search our whole lives for that special someone... Me? Well the universe might have seen fit to do me a favor for here I found that one, Twilight... She's changed everything and then came our adopted daughter Scootaloo and again the birth of our daughter Starswirl. Unlikely? You know it, but please read on, follow our story. I hope you find it... Interesting.
Teen rating represents scenes of lovemaking but non descriptive.

Spectrum Skies always wanted his eldest, but also adopted son, Soarin Skies, to follow traditions. His family's legacy.

The two fall instantly in love, but Spectrum has other plans. He wants his son to marry Spitfire, a promising Wonderbolt.

How will Spectrum react to Soarin going behind his back and marrying Dash? How will Dash react to her father's death and mother's disappearance?

What will the couple do, when Spectrum threatens to kick them out of the house?

And most importantly, what will Soarin's younger brother, Speedy, do when he comes back from college to find his entire family ripped apart?

After all, if you want happiness, you'll have to sit by a few tears as well.

Based on KJ's "K3G"~

Well, my life has gone insane. I was attending my first ever convention with my mom and sister, dressed in a costume that looks like a black and blue Spider-Man that took me months to make. Then I find someone who offers me a mask and sword that'll complete my costume. Next thing I know, I'm in an anthro version of Equestria with all of Spider-Man's powers and abilities and my sister is a pink hedgehog with a hammer.

My own little take on a Displaced story. This is my first ever story, so constructive criticism is appreciated. Rated T for some swearing. Also, first 2 chapters are currently pretty bad but the rest is decent so please don't judge it until you finish chapter 3.

Feedback (your thoughts in the comments) on chapters will be appreciated.
