L: Celestia and Luna are gone. The day-night cycle is a thing barely remembered by the oldest of ponies, and the rest of ponykind accepts the perpetual dusk without question. Only one alicorn remains, and Twilight Sparkle has proved a fantastic princess. All of the trains run on time, the streets are clear of litter, and anypony who desires it can receive very affordable cybernetic augmentations. From earth pony to unicorn, from pegasus to hippocampus, there exist augments for basically everything. Well, almost everything. To become an alicorn is illegal. To even speak of such things is tantamount to treason. There are many for whom the thought of an 'artificorn', as they are called, is akin to sacrilege. And today, in a small little aug-shop in District 225, one little unicorn decides to break the law. http://asimos.deviantart.com/art/In-The-Spotlight-357545045 Lovers under CanterlotSombra falls for his psychologist, Fluttershy falls for Sombra's doctor psychologist eventually revealed as Screw Loose set it up like Sombrashy This is the End"There is nothing that cannot be done if you put your mind to it". "You can conquer any obstacle they put in front of you." "They said you couldn't live your dreams. They were wrong." There was a time when words like that seemed like inspiration, served to push them forward. There was an age where there were dreams still left to dream, mountains still to climb. But once you reach the top, where can you really go from there? Somewhere in the not-distant-enough future, Twilight Sparkle and her friends are about to find out the answer to that question. Inspired by a frankly phenomenal series of pictures by FlutterRex. You can view the whole collection here. Short: At the end of the road, the Bearers of Harmony are faced with empty shells of their former lives. The Could-Have-Been PrinceS: In the days before a certain sound-light phenomenon, Celestia's personal student is a colt called Sunburst. L: Over the centuries, many young unicorns have had the unquestionable honor of being the personal student of Princess Celestia. Of course, they were all ultimately surpassed by Princess Twilight Sparkle, but figures of ancient history can hardly be blamed for being succeeded by their descendants. Except that not all of Celestia's students are ancient history. One of them still lives, and in fact can still remember the day when he was surpassed. He remembers how, for all of his achievements, he was left in the dust by a mere foal. And to this day, he carries that memory with him.

Friendship is Optionalhttp://underpable.deviantart.com/art/Heroes-of-The-Other-World-601812203 Day of the DeadOnce a thousand years ago, the pony god of death witnessed a horde of ponies pouring into his domain on the night of Luna's madness. The cries of sorrow from the living world were more than even he could bear, so that next day he broke the rules. For a single day and night, the dead could walk the earth. And so it continued, year after year. The day after Nightmare Night, the dead walk again. "What do you mean, we missed Apple Bloom's cutie mark? Oh, darling, I'm so sorry."

Hot Bloodedhttp://gashiboka.deviantart.com/art/Hotblood-402227428 Every Mind Palace has a Princesshttp://nadnerbd.deviantart.com/art/Arbitrarily-I-choose-left-608683233 Why the Princess of Friendship Can't Get a CabThere's a lot about the great city of Manehattan that Twilight Sparkle doesn't know, most of which she just takes for granted. She always assumed it was just the same as Canterlot, except with less stuck-up aristocrats and more hard-working business ponies. But while in town for the grand opening of Rarity for You, Twilight is reminded of one thing about Manehattan that no amount of comparisons to Canterlot can explain. She's one of five magical alicorn princesses, and she can't get a cab to even look at her. What gives? "I am knowledge." The Exchange ProgramCelestia establishes exchange program with this Griffonia. Sends Blueblood. Set Fire to the SunS: Robbed of her alicorn powers and unable to rally the Elements of Harmony, Twilight Sparkle must use science to face her newest foe. L: One week ago, Twilight Sparkle was the Princess of Friendship. Three days ago, Twilight Sparkle was an alicorn. One hour ago, Twilight Sparkle was sane. Now, though? Now, she pulls the covers off of a newly-restored superweapon, and prepares to strike down her greatest foe yet. https://derpibooru.org/1089823?scope=scpe046b82897b4996f04de6e2c932e15cf2ff423a33 The Fall of Blood StarTwilight Sparkle's friends are all dead. She sets to work resurrecting them through forbidden black magic. The magic slowly turns her eyes red, and she forms the identity of Blood Star to try and separate herself from culpability for her actions. Applejack is meant to be a bedsheet ghost clasping her hat in her hooves to identify herself, but a wardrobe malfunction backstage has left only her face hooded. Pinkie has a physical form, but her mind seems very rattled, and the chains she wears seem to imply that something is trying to work against Blood Star from the other side. Rarity's body gets dug up and her soul summoned into it, but strong hints are dropped that the soul inhabiting her body is not Rarity. She is the most vocal in her attempts to dissuade Blood Star. Fluttershy is a fairly threadbare reanimation, barely more than a whisper of life hanging around in the pentagram. Most likely due to Blood Star being quite stressed during this particular summoning. Rainbow Dash is pretty clearly a demon doing a poor masquerade. The story's perspective never leaves the summoning circle. Offscreen, Twilight is falling under steadily more scrutiny for what she's done, especially from Celestia. At the end, it is revealed that this was all a stage play put on for the yaks, written by yaks for yak audiences. http://moderatelydeviant.deviantart.com/art/My-Little-Ghosties-Friendship-is-Necromancy-280348021 Tales of Camp WhhhehhhennnnehhhA collection of short stories inspired by the 1950's classic film, All Horses Cannot Operate Automobiles -All Horses Cannot Operate Automobiles -the unicorns are all PARTY PARTY PARTY HARDY ALLA TIME BRO -the earth ponies lament how boring their species is -all donkeys are caffeine addicts after having been coffee slaves -Thunderlane likes cars -Cartavia -Mister Ed is a derogatory term used to describe horses that can't eat peanut butter -Twilight Sparkle's lack of friends is due to her insane powers driving off everyone -Celestia tries to assassinate Obama with a giant pie -Applejack reaches critical levels of YEEHAW -Horse Taxes -RD burns down Sugarcube Corner -Lyra and Golden Harvest team up to poke a dead human -HORSE MEN
