Prisoners of the Crystal Empire
In an alternate timeline (inspired by the season 5 finale "The Cutie Re-Mark") where Equestria is at war with the Crystal Empire, Celestia entrusts the mane six with a dangerous task.
Recent rumors say Sombra has captured Shining Armor and Cadance, so the princess of the Sun gives the Crystal Heart to the six mares and asks them to conduct a stealthy rescue mission.
However things go bad for the heroines who are captured by Sombra’s forces and taken to his castle, but not before managing to hide the artifact. The following nights, the unfortunate ponies face the king’s wrath and "company" as they are interrogated regarding the location of the heart.
Partially edited (and writing tips offered) by Train Dodger.
