Equestria is gone. But Celestia still has work to do. The Road lies ahead of her, and at its end—the most difficult decision of her life. Again. 2nd place in the "History Repeats" write-off.
Twilight discovers, as ruler of Equestria, she is the one that makes the law and the one that is the last word of what the existing ones mean. Their wording feels a bit outmoded as cases come before her.
Twilight united five dubiously sane mares into an unstoppable force for good... which has some implications for what they were like before she came to town.
The Cakes have inadvertently summoned an eldritch horror from beyond space and time to destroy the world. Again. Because they do it every year. And now Pinkie has to waste yet another night in battling against the tentacled results. (Stupid holiday.)
Being the highest-ranking government official in any Equestrian town means bearing responsibility for its residents. But for Marigold, being in charge of Ponyville often makes it feel as if she can't do anything at all.
Rarity can (just barely) accept that Fluttershy would like to be a tree. The several hundred other ponies at the convention are giving her some trouble.
Lyra thinks Discord is an idiot for not thinking to dodge when the Elements of Harmony were about to strike him. Discord thinks this is the perfect opportunity for a game.
When airplanes full of humans transformed into ponies pop out of the timestream, who can they count on to save them? The Aeronautical Returnee Rescue Response Squad! (A Ponies after People story.)
What's so special about the traveling casino which just set up its tent in the Everfree? You can't lose. As long as you keep playing, you're guaranteed to at least break even. As Twilight and Pinkie discover, the problems only start when you stop...
Rarity came seeking Blueblood, knowing nothing about him beyond name, face, and family. Suppose one of her friends knew more. The one who owns land granted to her by the crown.
In which the Cutie Mark Crusaders decide that they will be in estrus exactly once in their lives, for an hour and a half, starting tomorrow, and so fail both biology and life forever. (Did I mention this was still Crackfic Week?)
Twilight Sparkle has been hiding a terrible secret from her friends. A secret so horrible, so terrible, that Hearth's Warming will never be the same again.
The appearance of Equestrian Princesses on Earth, as well as the subsequent negotiations, are complicated greatly by the fact that neither can speak the others' language.
Keeping a newborn's uncontrolled magic from wrecking the house during a foalsitting evening requires an experienced professional! -- or a teenager who hasn't figured out what the job actually requires. (The teenager is initially cheaper.)
Really, fixing Rarity's chipped tooth will be no trouble at all! She just needs to take a quick sip of dental potion and... what do you mean, 'they don't exist'?
The good news: having her false ID summoned for jury duty means Chrysalis' disguise is perfect. The bad: running out on it would break her cover. (Why do queens always wind up with the hard decisions?)
Joanna knows that among all the entities (human and pony) to exist in Equestria, she's the only one not consigned to eternal damnation. She doesn't understand why everyone else has a problem with this.
Luna has hidden a deep, dark secret from the ponies she watches over so lovingly. Were they to discover it, she can only imagine what it would do to the image they now hold of her. Twilight thinks it's just precious.
Sometimes, there are states of emotion that can overwhelm even the mightiest of creatures; or so they say. Queen Chrysalis had never taken stock in such tales, nor the creatures that told them. Until today that is.
When the Bearers locate a hidden village whose occupants believe in having their bodies covered at all times, Rarity initially thinks she's found her people. Initially.
