It has just been revealed who the Mysterious Mare-Do-Well is; Rainbow Dash's friends. All of them, in on this entire ordeal. From plotting to execution, without so much as a pause to consider how Rainbow would feel, or just how far they can go with the Element of Loyalty. Well now they will learn.

After a short while of really difficult thinking, questioning, and consideration, Rainbow Dash will be brought to ask a single question. Can they work it out?

Twilight and the other Element Bearers thought that Rainbow's ego was becoming a problem. So they invented a hero to teach Rainbow a lesson. Instead, they learn that the only thing worse than a wounded enemy is a comrade betrayed. Never betray the Element of loyalty.

This story is a sequel to Consequences – A Bad Apple Comedy of Justice

Theorising that a reformed spirit of chaos might travel back in time and mess with stuff, Discord has gotten Celestia's approval to go back and tweak some events so that while the overall result was the same, the individual ponies involved were better off. His test case is one Barbara Seed Cortland, and her visit to her cousins in Ponyville. The limitations are that he can only visit her dreams, and she will only have a vague memory of events when she wakes up. Can he do it? What will Princess Luna say? What is the statute of limitations on illegal time travel? Does anyone have some fourth wall repair plaster? All these questions and less may be answered if you read on.

What would you do, and where would you go to find your Cutie Mark? An ancient book and a botched ritual takes three fillies further than they ever imagined... and into a land where adventure rules. But this isn't Humans and Horses, there's no rerolls allowed.

Now they must undertake their greatest ever crusade, to find someone who can send them back home. But as with every truly important quest, it's the journey as much as the goal that matters.

At the assault on Canterlot, she was a medic, but not for the Equestrians.
After the assault is concluded, a new struggle for the Changelings begins as those who survive must still find food and shelter.
Will the Equestrians simply forgive the Changelings for their assault on their capitol, and if so how bumpy a road is this going to become?

Twilight Sparkle broke time when she got her cutie mark. Now Twilight and Sparkle are sisters from another time. Twilight is hailed as the potentially greatest light magician of all time, and already has a reputation as a hero by the time she goes to Ponyville. This isn't her story, not primarily.

Sparkle is an orphan - her dark magic killed her parents. She lives with her brother in Canterlot's industrial sector because they can't afford anything better. She can't leave either. She's a natural dark mage; while Sparkle won't go mad like Sombra, her reputation is hardly any better. Worse, the law doesn't see her as a good pony.

The fact that the dead don't stay dead around her, or that Thorn - Spike's double - is an undead, soul-eating abomination, are other matters altogether.

This story is a sequel to Split Second

Twelve years ago, she broke time. Two alternate timelines exist, each with a different version of Twilight Sparkle. Both versions of her are able to see the other. In this timeline, Sparkle is a Necromancer.

Or rather, she was. Sparkle is dead now, not that she cares. She's got a new body. With Thorn (her undead dragon son) and Cobalt (her apprentice and an assassin for hire) at her side, she's ready to take on the world. Again.

(Spoilers in the comments. Read at your own risk.)

This story is a sequel to Split Second and won't make sense without it.
This story also loosely shares continuity with Lupine Tree. Reading that is not required.

In an Equestria divided by Luna's Mistake, centuries ago, a chance encounter in the Palace Archives late at night ends with Twilight forced into a new world hidden beneath the old. With a conjunction of stars approaching that could let the exiled Princess return to her nation, Twilight must do her part to help her new friends triumph and restore harmony.

On one of the most mundane of Mondays all year round, Ponyville is unexpectedly visited by a very familiar and yet very confused group of beloved friends from an alternate reality. What happens when "Twyla", a human teacher from Earth, comes face to face with herself in the form of Twilight Sparkle? Will the two facets of time-space fold upon one another or will these two almost identical groups of friends work together to overcome the strange set of circumstances that have followed these humans into Equestria?

How can this be true? When the sun was later in rising than it should have been, Princess Luna became concerned for her older sister. No pony had seen her since Princess Cadance and Shining Armor's reception had ended late the night before. However when Luna went to urge the moon down hoping to nudge Celestia into completing the cycle, her magic brushed against an aura she had hoped and prayed to never glimpse again.

Had her inability to protect the ponies she cares so deeply for, driven Princess Celestia to do... The unthinkable?
