This story is a sequel to The Cheval Glass

It is in the nature of an enigma to confound reason, and sometimes, the bafflement caused to others is rivaled only by the confusion of the source. Pinkie Pie couldn't begin to explain how or why spending time with her Ponyville friends had slowly become a chore, or why seeing them so happy with their significant others made her heart ache. Forcing a smile became a daily routine that weighed heavily upon the once happy mare, and one day, she reached the end of her strength and retreated to the one place that she knew she could feel safe: her family's rock farm. The support and concern of her kin didn't answer the questions, though, and even removed from every reminder of what was left behind, the void only seemed to grow.

A tale of a fun-loving pony struggling to accept the realities of maturity, and of the stallion that would help her find the answers, one faltering step at a time.

This story is a sequel to Fed up

Things just never seem to settle down for the fair sun princess; even when she intends to make way for things to settle down. Despite three separate princesses and one princess in training, there’s always something that seems to come back to bite her in the but. First it was her previous student showing up with a despicably large superiority complex. Then it was Chrysalis’ threats not being quite as empty as she thought, as she happened to say hello to her sister. Couple those things with the perpetual worry that something else could crawl out of the woodwork, and you’ve got a recipe for a vacation that Celestia is trying really hard--and half failing-- to enjoy.

Will Equestria survive without Celestia? Will she ever find out who her granddaughter is? Will Equestria be able to hold back Cocoon’s attempt at an invasion? Will Tartarus stay locked up long enough for there to be relative peace? Will her old student ever get her slice of humble pie? Probably, but Celestia really doesn’t want to get involved. She’s intent on enjoying her vacation… Even if it kills her.

A story with many different settings that occasionally converge with each other.

Still, even being tortured by someone with inexplicable lightning powers was somewhat preferable to finding himself outside of not only the mission area, but his world as he knew it...
