Two decades after the banishment of Nightmare Moon, her shadow still lingers. Princess Celestia has been left to tend the Twin Thrones alone and protect us all from those who would see Equestria crumble. Our enemies take many forms: some would tear the world down with their claws, others with their smiles. They are monsters all the same.

I have had many names, and I have been many things. Today I am Swift Sweep, and I work for the Equestrian Bureau for State Security.

Princess Celestia is with Princess Luna at a holiday play. To attend is expected of the royalty, but Luna is still new to this modern expectation. Just sit and enjoy, right? It doesn't look very difficult, as royal duties go.

“How is it that gems like these are always hidden so deep? I love your poetry, can't get enough of it.”

— SillyMare

“This is just really stellar, I hope everyone checks it out.”

“A concept which in the hands of just about anyone would have become empty prurience is instead warm and brilliant and funny and just lovely.”

— GhostOfHeraclitus

Twilight Sparkle was nothing if not devoted to her work, which naturally leads to times where she just straight-up forgets to relax every once in a while. Her faithful assistant Spike gets pretty worried about this, and so turns to the one pony in all of Equestria who might actually get his friend to rest for once.

It's over.
The Nightmare is finally over.

There are some things you cannot take back.
The wounds of Eternal Night cut deep in Equestria, in no one more than Celestia herself. Reeling from the painful aftershocks of betrayal and war and grief, Celestia is unraveling. But falling apart now is not an option. Equestria has lost one Princess, it cannot lose the other. There is work to be done, and The Princess of the Day must take on her sister's mantel if they are to survive.

Raise the Moon, Celestia, before the Darkness consumes you...

The greatest deceit in life is the illusion that all things are true. As Luna finds out, even the most tangible of things can be just a figment lost in time.

Do it. You know you want to.

We all wear a mask called composure, beneath which hides a heart that twists with guilt and hidden feelings. Regal as she is, Princess Celestia is no exception. What might be revealed should circumstances cause this mask to slip - or break?

Set several years after the potential conclusion to the series.

After a magical accident, Celestia and Luna must try to restore harmony. Celestia's duplicate, however, is having none of it.

This story is a sequel to Midnight's Shadow: Succession Crisis

Midnight Sparkle is a rising star amongst the magi. She has proven herself time and again against threats as warlocks, hags, werewolves, and fey, but her recent successes yet leave her ambitions wanting.

An opportunity presents itself when the Archmagus of Eastmarch announces his retirement. The conclave to determine his successor—what should be a mundane thing—reveals a most tainted legacy as long-forgotten foes push Midnight to her very limits.
