In the summer of 1016 at the tail end of a long, bloody war between Equestria and the Changeling Hives, the tides have turned in ponykind's favor. Changeling forces have been pushed back to Vesapolis, and every element of Changeling society has been mobilized against Equestria. Every passing day, the prospect of invasion becomes bloodier and bloodier while peace remains as far away as it has ever been.

Forced into making a hard decision, Celestia sits in her office and awaits the end of the war.

"Two young fillies embark on a perilous quest, venturing into some of the most treacherous landscapes imaginable. From blinding blizzards to shadowy underground caves, and over towering mountains, their journey is fraught with danger and excitement.

Their love and patience will be tested, yet through it all, their unbreakable sisterhood remains their guiding light.

Can they find the help they desperately need to save their home from the encroaching cold?''

Hello, I'm Mellow Mare! Welcome to this headcanon prequel of the show!
I always felt that Luna and Celestia lacked screentime, their story is beautiful and they deserve to have fanwork like mine!!

I do all of the artwork for covers and such, but once in a while a guest artist will make an appearance to do one of the covers!

Please sit back and enjoy ...

It's strange how a single change can create a massive difference in somepony's life.

Somewhere in a different world, Twilight Sparkle is thrust into an unforeseen destiny with the most unlikely (and possibly unstable) group of friends to fight the forces of darkness and bring the magic of friendship back to Equestria.

That's if they don't kill each other first.

Part 2: Pony Tails

Luna is a strange mare. Cadance is only now just starting to see how strange she is when Luna mentions the unthinkable. Maybe she'll learn something new in the process.

Part of this story appeared as a chapter in Missing Pages & Scrawled Footnotes on May 31st, 2017. It has since been revised and expanded. Contribute to the TVTropes page!

Princess Celestia gets legit deaded by everyone's favorite bacon head.

A friend of mine, (yaspup9000 on tumblr) is conceptualizing a "gen 6" of MLP, with her own take on old rebooted characters and stuff, and she told me she didn't want to reboot or recycle characters from gen 4, with the fears of seeming a bit too much like gen 5.

I respectfully disagreed. Since i've been helping inspire her to write her story, i had knowledge of her lore and characters, so i decided to write this short climax for her story just to show her what she's missing out, lmao. She loved it, even if might not use it, So i decided, hey, might as well post it!

So keep in mind, the characters are superfluous, i'm not trying that hard on this, i just wanted to write a scene i thought of; not provide a full story context, so it might feel a bit disjointed, and i'm fine with that! After all, the project isn't mine, it's hers.

And so, i took writing this sequence as practice! and i don't mind posting practice.

enjoy this contextless sequence of events!

Sunset Shimmer is happy and fullfilled. Her life is perfectly normal and okay. She is a human, dating another human, Twilight Sparkle, with plenty of human friends.

But sometimes she wonders of Equestria, a world that spat her out.

But sometimes she wonders of Equestria, a world that didn't need her.

But what if it did?

What if Equestria needed her, permanently? What if her wildest abandoned dreams could come true? What if she had to choose between abandoning the human world, or abandoning Equestria for good?

What if she had to choose between two Twilights?

When Sam opened his eyes, ready to start his first morning as a college student, the last thing he expected was to find himself in an unfamiliar bedroom, in the equally unfamiliar form of Princess Celestia.

Now trapped in a body teeming with an enormous amount of power and an equally enormous set of responsibilities and worries, Sam needs to get to the bottom of things before Equestria's enemies realize Celestia is not herself and take the advantage.

Clover the Clever never asked for his life to get so complicated.  It was bad enough tricking a drunk Imperatrix Celestia, war goddess of the Three Tribes, out of her accidental coup against Queen Platinum.  But now the most dangerous pony in Equestria has returned to trade her claim on the sun for a chance to woo him.

On top of that, his erstwhile mentor Star Swirl the Bearded has saddled him with a mysterious magical necklace and a uniquely bleak and pointless prophecy: If he's brave enough, and if he's clever enough, he just might survive Celestia for long enough to break her heart.

Now with an audio reading by ScarlettBlade!

Recommended by PresentPerfect! "horizon gave me the story I needed rather than the one I wanted ... along the way we get some very strong lessons about love, and meditations on the value of a lifetime and what one pony can achieve on their own."
