Of all the things that Gallus the Griffon has been and thought he would be, lost royalty was never really one of them, but according to Princess Twilight Sparkle, an ancient griffon book indicates otherwise. With that, Gallus returns to the Griffon Empire capital of Griffonstone to try and become their king. However, before he can claim the throne, he must face The Trial of the Throne, an ancient challenge that no one has accomplished in generations.

It is the wrap party for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. After 9 seasons, countless spinoffs and a feature length movie, everyone is looking forward to what the future has to bring. So why is one voice actress standing off in the corner?

Caskade had endured the loss of his mother through escaping life through flying. Dealing with the loss of a loved one takes its toll on a family, especially when it is somepony as close as your own mother. Though his world was seemingly falling down around him, it would not be until a young mare by the name of Whistles came into his life that he would finally begin to heal his wounds.

Through finding strength in her, Caskade finds a new way to cope with his tragic loss and learn to smile again. Though, the price to be paid for happiness would soon prove to be far greater than he had ever imagined it to be.

There once was a story about the beautiful dark alicorn who moved the moon. In the tranquil countryside, a young boy listened to the story, looked at the stars, and imagined. He grew up and fell in love with the ruler of the night … and she loved him, too.

It was perfect, except for one nagging doubt in the back of the quiet boy's head: she was a character from a children's story.

Rated ★★★★★ by Louder Yay! "This is, perhaps, a Lucky Dreams story for grown-ups. ... Plenty of magic and friendship here, but also sadness and loss ... a clear classic."

Highly Recommended by Present Perfect! "An excellently written story about an emotional encounter between the titular characters … yet a good bit more than that. If you like reading, you will like reading this."

Recommended by Titanium Dragon! "This story had an excellent style to it, a sort of fairy-tale-like quality … really, this is a work of original fiction which pokes at MLP in only the barest of ways. But that doesn't mean it isn't relevant to your interests."

When Apollo 11 lands on the moon, Neil Armstrong utters his famous lines as his boots land in the lunar regolith, but when he turns around he finds something no one was expecting or had ever planned for.
There's an alien on the moon. And it's blue, four-legged, and staring at him.
