The Elements of Love
With a new kind of dark evil surfacing and the Elements of Harmony gone, six other ponies are called upon to deal with the problem. The kind of problem that involves magic shadows, insane mages, and lots of bagels.
The world is a big place with big problems, and frankly, the Elements of Harmony can't always be there to fix it. When a dark magic threatens the Crystal Kingdom, Princess Cadance is forced to bring together six complete strangers into a group called the Elements of Love. Unfortunately, battling an unknown entity together may not be the easiest thing for a couple of strangers to handle...

Gave this an AU tag, since this story was written before the Crystal Empire backstory was established. Assumes that the Crystal Empire has always been there, and Cadance ruled for quite some time.
