This story is a sequel to The Queen and I, Book 2: People and Problems

Chrysalis had always been taught that a leader should push forward; no matter the setback, no matter the defeat, a strong leader rallies their subjects. They do this because their subjects are helpless without them; without guidance and inspiration, society would fail, and it is that threat which motivates a leader to greatness.

What, then, should be done when a society moves on, no longer needing their leader? What should a leader do if they've become more of a burden than a boon to their own people?

Perhaps how they answer that question is the real measure of a leader's worth.

Even a person with perfect judgement could make mistakes if they didn't have enough information. That's the one consolation available when you make a mistake and hurt someone; it doesn't mean you're necessarily a bad person.

If only it were that simple. When people depend on you, when you accept that responsibility, it stops being so easy to just go on with your life when you make a mistake. When you realize that you've hurt someone, or let them down, it tears you up inside.

I'm going to keep moving forward, though. The only way to make things better is to learn from my mistakes, and act on that.

A good Queen's job is never easy; if the world doesn't challenge them, they'll challenge themselves. Luckily, they have others that they can rely on to aid them.

But that can be hard to do, especially in times like these. The Cultural Exchange Treaty has thrown Changeling Hive Chrysalis into a radical state of change, and no one is sure how things will turn out.

But I am sure of this: I care, and I'll do whatever it takes to help her.

Celestia has many titles and duties and there are always things that remind her of this. They could be ponies or objects, perhaps even something more abstract and symbolic. Today is one such reminder of one of the lesser known roles, which she was never acknowledged for. She's even afraid to acknowledge it herself no matter how often the date repeats.

It is common knowledge that the two Princesses of Equestria, Celestia and Luna, are sisters. Their lives have been documented since their births, each over 1300 years ago. Both had been raised from birth to lead the three pony tribes, and to guide the two celestial bodies across the sky. They are opposites, they are equal, and they are sisters. It was all going according to plan until a being from their past showed up, trying to take over the city of Canterlot. In the process, revealed a long forgotten secret they had held for over a millennia.

With the secret out, Princess Celestia is forced to reveal her sister's true origins, why the changelings attacked, and where it all went wrong between the two races.

This story is a sequel to A Very Chaotic Proposal

The time has come for Discord to face the inevitable. He is an immortal, and Twilight Sparkle isn't. But will he be able to deal with her passing?

This story is a sequel to Chaos Theory

It's been three years since Discord and Twilight began dating, and Discord has something very special planned for the evening of the anniversary. But he's not sure about his plan. That is, until he gets help from two very unlikely ponies.

Discord is trapped in stone once again. But this time, he does some thinking. No, not about revenge, mind you. But about a certain lavender mare...

This story is a sequel to These Dreams

Twilight and Discord flee to Manehattan for a short while to hide from Celestia who wants to put them under a sleeping spell. But soon, Screwball, Discord's daughter comes along and joins them in hiding but this isn't the strangest thing. After being sick a few weeks, Twilight soon discovers that she's pregnant!

Their time in Manehattan is cut short when Twilight receives a letter from Celestia informing her and the new family to come back to Canterlot so she can formally apologize to them. They head back to Canterlot, unknown that a green unicorn is following them back, determined to get rid of Discord and will stop at nothing, even if it means harming Twilight and Screwball, to get rid of him forever.

*SEQUEL NOW OUT!* You can find it on my profile.

Twilight Sparkle has been sleeping more and more ever since her friends resealed Discord after he managed to escape from his stone imprisonment. Before he had been freed the second time, he was sending dreams to Twilight being romantic as the God of chaos possibly could be. He is able to charm her and make her fall in love with him.

Now that he's been resealed, Twilight has been sleeping so much just so she can see him again in her dreams. She is told by Nightmare Moon in her dreams (in the form of a riddle) that she can free Discord if she figures out the answer to the riddle. If she manages to break him free, what will her friends or family think about the two lovebirds being together? Could they become an out and about couple or would they have to stay secret lovers instead?

This is also my first FIM story, so please bear with me on this...
