Princess Celestia ascended Twilight into an alicorn without giving her any notice, then she left her to return to Canterlot to make preparations for the newborn alicorn's coronation, leaving Twilight's mind reeling from the sudden change of species and what it means.

Twilight can't sleep because her over-analytical mind is plagued with fear, uncertainty, and doubt. But maybe a visitor can help ease her worries and comfort her enough for her to fall asleep.

Human X Pony

Human in Equestria

Kenneth is your average everyday person, all up until he was tossed off a boat and into an insane asylum. Unable to speak nor learn their language, ken decides to stick by the only two ponies that he can communicate with. Just when things are starting to look up, and the ponies start to grow on him, reality throws one last curve ball his way.

It's not easy to go back to your life after a thousand years of insanity and exile. It's not easy for Luna to even leave her room. All the same, there's a special somepony that Luna desperately wants to get closer to, and that's worth facing the outside for. All she has to do is get up the nerve to talk to her.

This story is a sequel to Hatred

Many ponies think they know Princess Celestia. She's kind, warm, a giver and protector, much like the sun itself. What many ponies don't know is that Princess Celestia isn't as put together as ponies think she is. Actually, she's barely holding on, and during the day meant to celebrate the day she met someone important to her, someone she wants badly, she finally hits her limit and breaks down.

If she were a normal pony, this would be okay. But she's not. She's an alicorn. And Princess Luna fears that she could fall into a darkness very much like she did, becoming something much worse than Nightmare Moon. Desperate to save her sister before she falls into her darkness, she reaches out to the one pony she feels knows Celestia the most.

Her former student.

Now its up to Twilight to help Celestia in her darkest time. She's never seen Celestia in such a state, and seeing her so devastated scares her almost as much as the idea of her becoming something worse than Nightmare Moon. What she doesn't know is that the shadow around Celestia is getting stronger, and its taking the form of someone from her past. Will Twilight be able to protect her former teacher from this darkness?

Twilight Sparkle, otherwise known as the 'Grand Regent of Biting Off More Than You Can Chew' is in over head again; except, this time, it is not the queen of nightmares, a god of chaos, or a power consuming centaur that is her problem. Hiding relationships, as it turns out, can be even more stressful than battling the principalities of evil - especially when one is trying to hide the relationships from two immortal alicorns who happen to be sisters.

Rated T for mild suggestive humor.

Twilight talks to Celestia about her deceased grandmother.

A snippet of life in story form.

Celestia was having a perfectly normal day until her most faithful student teleported into her room requesting a belly rub.

Raised in a land of blood shed, violence, and treachery, one Arashi Hisako has grown rather calloused to it all. Since she was 3 she was trained to fight, to kill, and to serve her village even if it meant her death. It was drilled into her that she will more than likely die in battle, for only the very best Ninja ever had the luxury to grow old and retire. But she was fine with this, after all, it was a fact of life since she was 3.

Now however, she finds herself in a strange land, full of creatures who seem to care for her, and abhor violence. She was trained to see underneath the underneath, but what is a Genin to do when there is nothing to see?

To right a wrong of long ago, Princess Celestia and Luna use their magic to return an exiled pony during the spring starfall festival.

Please note: This is the original story released on DA over 2 years ago and - despite how hard I tried to give it a connection to FiM then - it didn't really stand the test of time. Still, even with all its issues, this was my first fic for MLP and I wanted to give it a permanent home on here.

This story lead to the prequel Dominion of the Night, the spin-off Nightfall, and multiple other stories that have yet to be released. Even so, Starfall was originally a stand-alone story so you won't need to read anything else beforehand. Also, because this story is mostly unedited (and was my first attempt at really writing a full blown fic), it has numerous grammatical mistakes. I've touched it up in places, but some sections would require complete rewrites which would be a bit too much work.

Last but not least, the story centers around an OC of mine named Star Flare which is clearly a mary sue. Love her or hate her, she is what she is. /shrug

tldr; version: is the original story, has a mary sue, only has touch-up edits

Becoming an alicorn has been hectic, and it's nice for Twilight to be able to kick back for a moment and do something she loves, with Pinkie Pie no less.

Science, of course. Why, what were you thinking? Though shouting your 'Eureka' moment in the streets is bound to get ponies thinking...
