When your beloved wife, the ex-princess Luna, discovered that she is pregnant, it came as a bit of a shock. You weren't even aware that such a thing is possible considering the whole "you're a human" thing. And yet, there she is. Her body is slowly changing to account for the growth happening within, and her anxiety is through the roof.

But you're not about to leave her to face that anxiety alone.

Starlight Glimmer is many things. Master of the arcane arts, Headmare of the School of Friendship, Savior of Equestria, and a truly fantastic friend to those she holds dear. Apparently, according to Trixie and Sunburst, she's also an awesome marefriend. There is, of course, one big problem with that theory: How can you be an awesome marefriend if you don't even know you're dating your best friends in the first place? Starlight may or may not need to add "Romantically Inept Doofus" to her list of titles.

This story takes place during the time skip in the final chapter of Run Without Debugging, but knowledge of that story is not necessary to enjoy this one.

Weddings are beautiful things. For many ponies, a wedding is the best day of their lives. Years ago, Chrysalis, the ex-queen of the changelings, adored weddings as well. Her intentions, however, were less than noble.

Today, she has put her past behind her. She has been (somewhat) forgiven. She has a place in society. She has someone who loves her. The real her.

It's finally time for her own wedding.

She didn't show up.

Being thrust into a familiar-yet-distinctly-different Equestria after expecting to spend the rest of eternity in Limbo was definitely a shock to Somnambula. Still, she adjusted fairly well, she thinks. She's got a town that reveres her, and she's a motivational speaker that has helped countless ponies. All in all, things are going well.

She also found a strange "human" thing wandering around and quickly became smitten.

He's good at cuddles.

Day #5 of Hearts and Hands Week.

You stumbled apon facing the toughest challenge since coming to Equestria; fighting off three overpowered villains with a bell to take all the magic from the ponies. It is up to you to help stop them from getting more powerful by using yourself as bait. When Chrysalis encounters you though, a clever idea struck your vision.

To ask her out!

Developing romantic feelings for a friend is awkward.

It's extra awkward when you're a ruler, they're an ambassador of another nation, and oh, bonus, they were raised immersed in that nation's culture and so you have no idea if the signals you're trying to give are even being picked up on.

On a visit to Ponyville to catch up with Spike, Ember has just noticed how handsome her first and best friend has gotten, and has no idea what to do with herself about it. She needs to figure that out asap, and so needs some advice, badly. Thankfully, ponies are good with mushy-feely things, so she just needs to track down the local romance expert and shake them down.

And hopefully not burn the town down in the process.

A thousand years ago in Equestria, Luna's frustration and desperation has been building for years and years as her social and political isolation grows, but just before Luna's jealousy and resentment can turn into murderous hatred against her sister, a new event triggars Luna's mental collapse and pushes her over the edge. When Luna by circumstance finds herself alone in Celestia's room she reads her sister's diary out of curiosity and discovers all of the disparaging criticism that Celestia has leveled at her over the years about how much of a nuisance Luna has been to her, but has been too polite to say directly to Luna's face.

Luna and Celestia had always supported and stuck with each other all their lives. Even when the common-ponies critisism and shunning of her was at its worst, the knowledge that her sister loved her kept Luna going. The realization that nopony, not even her own sister valued her or thought she was fit for the throne completely shattered whatever remained of her fragile psyche.

And so Luna just gave up...

She gave in...

If no one wanted her there...

Then she wouldn't stay there...

She would leave.

You and Princess Luna have been dating for quite some time. However, lately she's been really caught up in this whole "Starfield" thing. As much as you can appreciate a pony with hobbies, this is starting to affect her health. It's time to tear her away from the screen, even if she's going to be kicking and screaming all the while.

Anon and Zecora, two outcasts accepted by Ponyville's residents, found kindred spirits in each other. A few months ago, they started dating. Since then, Anon practically lives in Zecora's hut, learning everything there is to know about potion making... and his beloved zebra.

However, neither of them are quite used to the level of affection that they both want to give the other. The result is a blushing mess of awkwardness and confidence issues.

Somehow, I think they'll be okay.

Life for Sunset Shimmer took a turn for the worse when Anon-a-Miss single handedly sowed the seeds of distrust amongst her friends and the entire school, but things got worse when the identity of Anon-a-Miss is finally revealed. Unable to forget how those she thought were her friends and family were quick to assume she had relapsed to her old ways of being a bully, Sunset turns her back on them as they once did to her and is prepared to live a life of shutting out friendship entirely. That is until she happens upon a kind stranger who not only could be the friendly ear to listen to her problems, but even teach her things about friendship that even the Princess of Friendship herself could never teach.
