Octavia was always one for planning ahead. Whether it be dinner that night or her career years away, she always had an idea of how to get there. The right amount of practice, the proper performance to the right pony, and she could see her life progressing exactly as it should.

Story thirteen in my Twidash Challenge: Secondary Pairing (Quite Obviously)

Princess Celestia is plagued by a new villain terrorising Canterlot. The guards are useless, Twilight Sparkle is at a loss for what to do, and it falls upon Celestia's withers to deal with this problem herself.

Trigger warning: Kind and benevolent Princess Celestia

The history of Equestria spans dozens of centuries, and many terrible foes have risen up from the past to threaten the future once more, only to be defeated.

When a vicious and powerful enemy older than any Twilight, her friends, or even the Princesses have faced before returns, they will have to reach out to an ally just as ancient for help... but is she still the heroine she once was?

This story takes place after the end of Season 3.

Twilight and Rarity go to a rather... interesting spa. They both come back refreshed, though.

But she cannot weep forever. She must take control of her duties once more. Haunted by the memories of the assassination, and its aftermath, Celestia slowly makes her way to Twilight's resting place to find some closure.
