Thank you all so much!

Affection therapy: a new and innovative practice in Equestria wherein the patient/subject is calmed and relaxed through simple displays of platonic affection, such as ear scratches, nose boops, and belly rubs. It's surprisingly effective, and leaves the pony happy and content. The strangest thing, however, is that you, a simple human living in Ponyville, 'invented' this practice completely by accident.

*I wrote this a long time ago, before Every Little Thing She Does aired. The first chapter takes place between No Second Prances and that episode, and I decided to touch it up and release it now as an early Christmas gift to you guys, as a simple piece of cute, platonic fluff. More to come, too, when I find the time and inspiration.

Queen Chrysalis is leader of the changelings, as well as their mother. She has spent years giving them love and affection and trying to find them other sources to feed off of, in case her own love proves to not be enough. And, knowing the minds of children, and how they crave attention, This might be the case. Knowing this, Chrysalis has attacked Equestria many times, and tried to make a home for her children. Now, she sits on her throne, tired of all the fighting, and saddened from her many failures, as she thinks about how she has gone through so much.

John is alone on this world and has not seen a single soul in a long time. His only companions have been the ghosts only he can hear. Driven by guilt, he goes from town to town, searching and doing the only thing he can do:

Give the dead their final rest.

Discord once gave him a gift. It was given in grief. John has yet to understand what this gift means. He has lost track of time and madness and sanity wage a constant war in his mind.

For John, the greatest terror in his heart is facing the Goddesses.

He's about to meet one of them.

Pea Gravel isn't from Equestria, she's from another land across the sea, far to the east. Out there, ponies are low, if not the bottom, on the civil food chain. When she escapes to the mythic land of 'The Sun Goddess', she finds what she expected, almost.

When Equestrians ask to hear tales of the world outside it's romanticized fiction: To Pea, it's the cold hard truth.

Naive to this 'Old World', Rainbow Dash and Daring Do follow Pea Gravel both seeking adventure different to Equestrian life; perhaps they will bite off more than they canchew.

This story is a sequel to Crystal's Wishes

Love had finally happened to her. Crystal Wishes married the stallion of her dreams and couldn't be happier with her life... until she discovers why ponies treat military spouses with so much respect. Life after the happily ever after isn't as easy as she hoped it would be when married to a royal guard.

I somehow ended up in the past. I'm not sure how far back I am, but I do know this was even before Celestia. This is much less peaceful and kind then back home, and I will have to be careful. This is much different then I thought, and I will have to survive this Equestria if I want to get home alive. Maybe Celestia can get me back to the right time. This doesn't even look like Equestria, I wonder how far I went back. I need to keep my identity as an alicorn hidden for now, and see what this world is like.

Cover art was from: zoarvek. I did a few edits on it.

Sometimes, it's very quiet in the castle...

When Luna is affected by a supermoon, nopony save for Celestia herself could have prepared for what came next.

Unfortunately, Celestia forgot.

Oops.

When Princess Celestia puts away her crown for the night, her dreaming mind escapes into a secret world. A world of adventure, in which the rules are different and everything is possible.

Usually, those dreams pass by without affecting her daily life. But they usually don't involve kissing her sister, either.

Cover by me.
