(NO MORE ACCURATE TO WHAT I BELIEVE) Starlight Glimmer's + Sunburst's Child by Faunamusic

The first book to my "My Little Pony: The Future" fanfiction series. It is years later after season 7 of MLP, and ponies have love, jobs, and children. Starlight Glimmer, now married to Sunburst, and a mom, with a child that shows a great example to the expression, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree". Her daughter, Scroll Star, is quite magical, and had many friends, until something happened that changed it all. What other drama can happen for being a lot like Starlight Glimmer, one of Equestria's most powerful ponies, who made a whole village of ponies get rid of their curie marks, stalk Princess Twilight, who became Starlight's mentor, AND went back in time to make sure Twilight Sparkle's friendship doesn't happen, due to a problem in her old friendship, involving Sunburst? NOTE: Fluttershy's family's story is based on DisneyFanatic2364's fan-fics. DO NOT OWN THAT! POST-NOTE: This story was first published in June, 2017. Any changes that were made to a character in episodes after "The Perfect Pear" will not be changed in the story. For example, if Starlight DOES become a princess, which would be very interesting, it would not be in this story. I apologize for that, but remember, this IS a fan-fiction, not an MLP episode. Also 9th in Equestria :3

Songs of Innocence 2: A Divine Image by Feenfiction

Can life get weirder after you fight an army of eldritch horrors? Well, it can, if you're Innocent Sun. Equestria had been plunged into dark powers not meant to be controlled, but then, what about Chaos Magic? Actually, things might only get worse. Whatever the case, Sun's back, and with the help of her friends, old and new, she's ready to use her witchcraft to fight back against (and probably crush) whatever dares to threaten her peaceful life! ...Still reading? Okay, good. So, this is obviously a sequel to my last story, Songs of Innocence, but if you haven't read that, that's okay! The first chapter of this story will get you all caught up! You can even think of that as just the pilot, while this is the main series, so to speak. This story will be a much more... casual read. Unlike SoI 1, this one is not based on a previous draft, so I'll just be making it up as I go along this time. Oh, and by the way, I think I gotta say this, so... I don't own any concepts, characters, or locations canon to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, such as (but not limited to): the Elements of Harmony, Fluttershy, and Equestria. Those belong to Hasbro.

The peace-loving nation of ponies now finds itself in a new world with foes not only at their borders but among their numbers as well. A group of close friends - who once defended and spread the magic of friendship across the land - are now split apart as Equestria is consumed with war and unrest. It's up to them to rekindle the magic they've lost over the years... and return this once-peaceful realm back to harmony. How will Equestria approach the troubling times ahead? Will Friendship and Harmony still be its mantra? Or will this be the end of Harmony for the ponies?

Songs of Innocence by Feenfiction

Nightmares, horrors, evils beyond anything the world has seen... and a socially awkward unicorn. When Innocent Sun moves into the sleepy town of Ponyville, she is unexpectantly sent down a path filled with dangerous enemies, new friends, and a monstrous new power. As she goes from a simple amnesiac unicorn to a powerful sorceress with the power to summon demonic familiars, you'll find that her tale is one filled with heroism, and learning about what makes life worth living. Her tale is one that Equestria will never forget. ...Mostly because it's completely insane. Being transparent, this story is an MLP fanfic that started out as a pet project of mine, but I finished it a few days ago, and I felt it's finally time I share it. Sure, it starts out with typical "OC meets canon character" stuff, but it gets good, I swear! Seriously, this story gets quite insane by the end, and while I don't blame you if you don't read every single chapter... at least read the tenth chapters, because that's usually where it gets the most insane. I might even upload said tenth chapters before the others because... well, I'm going to be rewriting a lot of stuff, and I'm not gonna make you wait to get to the good parts. By the way, the story contains a lot of No More Heroes/Bayonetta influences, and some Devil May Cry ones earlier on. Also, please keep in mind that while I do try to write the characters canon to the show as accurately as I can, I try to write them with a bit more sincerity, as if they're people instead of cartoon ponies. Then again, take my attempt at a more realistic portrayal of the characters with a grain of salt. I'm still an amateur writer after all, so whether or not the characters do actually act like more realistic versions of the characters from the show is up to you to judge. All non-original characters, locations and concepts (eg, Fluttershy, Equestria, Elements of Harmony) belong to Hasbro.
