But from time to time he comes across a special pair of ponies.

In Blueblood Returns, the prince's nefarious scheme was undermined, he was disgraced, and the heroes prevailed. However, has he truly been punished enough? What drives a pony to be such an egotistical villain? Blueblood's Redemption explores events a week later, from Prince Blueblood's perspective, as he finds himself swept up in an adventure involving a certain mare magician.

For the sequel, see The Blueblood Conspiracy.

After the positive feedback for "Simply Love' I decided to write it from Vosare's point of view. A simple story of two ponies who fall in love.

We all love to receive, but we often forget the joy when we give.

What if, after falling in love, you simply got married, no complications.

A follow up vignette to my story "Simply Love"

Is love really eternal? Can the actions of one pony leave a mark on the life of another forever?

"What an interesting little exploration of one of the hardest things to ponder... a relationship with one of the immortal alicorn princesses of Equestria. It's not something that is done very often outside of Twilight/Celestia. It's accomplished even less often with O.C.'s, and rarely this well." (Full Review, Includes Spoilers)

Given the highest honors on the Las Pegasus Tribune!

It's very simply a love story.

Princess Luna talks to one of her personal guards about a major event of her past that has been unspoken of since.

Not extremely romantic, but the elements are there.

Was originally written as a piece in my creative writing class, but was obviously adapted from Luna. After writing it in a human/god form, I re-adapted it to it the roles of Luna and a guard.

Idol Hooves holds a special place in Equestria. He's probably the only exiled changeling to serve in the Royal Guard, or at least, that's what he expects, as exiles don't really broadcast that fact. However, it's well known that Princess Celestia loves all of her little ponies, and her guards perhaps more so, and that makes it one of the best ways for a changeling to discreetly feed.

But how does a changeling even get there, let alone get exiled in the first place? For that matter, why would it ever go to Canterlot? Set a number of years before the series proper, before Luna’s redemption, Idol details how he was exiled, the ponies he’s met, and the series of misadventures that led him to joining the Royal Guard, and should continue a good ways into the series, as something of an alternate perspective.

Soon, he’ll have to deal with a boisterous new princess to serve and a royal wedding in the works bringing a third to power. Will his old instincts bring this new life crashing down around him? What precipitates Chrysalis’s ill-fated assault on Canterlot? Is it really so wrong for a changeling to enjoy good craftsmanship to an obsessive degree?

Rating updated to (T), it's a bit darker than (E)
Comedy Tag added as well
And changed the character tags a bit.

You'd think that being trapped in stone would mean that, if nothing else, I could get some peace and quiet. Unfortunately, it seems that Celestia has other ideas.

She has appointed these ponies... these 'Keepers', as she calls them, to keep me entertained during my incarceration.

Honestly? I'd prefer the boredom.
