In which Twist does her homework and finds a new friend.

Done in (roughly) an hour as a speedfic challenge under the requirements Twist, Luna, Sweet Apple Acres

"Beware Her wrath, fools who dare threaten our Kingdom. For if Celestia be our Shield, then Luna is the Sword."

Spiritual companion to Sweet Celestia.

Twilight gets help from her friends in learning how to fly. But rather than create a bunch of boring lessons, the newly-reformed Discord, who still enjoys being with his new pony friends, decides to handle teaching in a much more fun, chaos-filled way.

What you are reading is the world’s first (maybe) collaboratively written MLP Fan Fiction. It’s sort of like that campfire game where you tell a story one sentence at a time and the next person supplies the next sentence. This was written by many members of the /r/myliitlepony subreddit in Google Docs. As you can expect from something that was written by several people at the same time, it certainly isn’t the best Fan Fiction ever written (frankly, I’m surprised it even ended and didn’t just ramble on into infinity). Anyway, if you want to read these strange results of what was really more of a social experiment than an actual writing session, then you are in for a wild ride of Discord, hallucinations, Topiary shipping, Zecora, party cannons and all sorts of wild things awkwardly mish-mashed together. Enjoy!

Set just before the events of chapter ten of Friendship is Optimal. One of the last living humans survives and scrapes by in the ruins of Eugene Oregon. He is approached by a simulacra of Twilight Sparkle, who promptly attempts to convince him to upload himself to Equestria. He balks at first, so Twilight plays to her strengths: studying.

Part of the Optimalverse.

WARNING: RATED TEEN FOR IDEOLOGY. This story attempts to take a realistic and balanced view of why an intelligent and religious person might not upload. It does not attempt to convince the reader to believe any of the viewpoints discussed. However, it is written in as unbiased a way as possible, therefore, both theists and atheists will probably find portions of it offensive.

In her youth, Twilight Sparkle discovered a way to infuse technology and magic. 20 years after her breakthrough, she is now the CEO and founder of Sparkle Industries, and one of the wealthiest ponies in Equestria. Her relatively perfect life goes sour, however, when she is captured by a group of griffons who want to steal her technology.

[Complete] Celestia awakens to see an empty world, white sandstone stretching the horizon. She wanders the world as she builds it from her imagination, filling it with life, but as time passes, the world that she created begins to seem like little more than a lucid dream, conjured from the dust.

Twilight takes a walk in the woods near Canterlot to clear her mind, when a mischievous little phoenix starts dropping chestnut shells on her head. Quite a familiar mischievous little phoenix.

Somewhat inspired by the song "Evermore" by Alison Krauss, a story to perhaps make its reader smile.

Whilst enjoying the company of Twilight Sparkle and her friends in the doughnut shop immediately following the events of The Best Night Ever a disappointed Princess Celestia send a letter off to Prince Blueblood explaining the implications of his failure of the "Rarity Test", among other things...

Nopony knows the changes that time will bring, and neither Twilight nor Sweetie Belle could have guessed that their trials would have brought them so tightly together. Now, as Twilight draws closer to the end, Princess Celestia pays her a final, private visit, but the ramifications are huge and could change the course of Sweetie Belle's life without her ever knowing.

"While the story of Twilight's final hours is touching, the real power of this story is in its portrayal and exploration of Celestia. If a gripping new take on Equestria's princesses in an easily digestible one-shot sounds appealing to you, don't pass this up."
