    It happened. Twilight became an alicorn. Her mentor Celestia has never been prouder, her friends are amazed, her daughter Nyx is thrilled to death-- And both Twilight and the government are in a tizzy. By Equestrian law, she is effectively a princess. This is complicated by the fact that she's the adoptive mother of the former Nightmare Moon, and nopony is precisely thrilled at the notion of Nyx being within reach of the throne.  

    It's further complicated by the fact that Twilight doesn't want to be a princess. She's a scientist! She's a researcher and a scholar of magic, not a ruler. If she takes her throne she'll have to give up the very things that put her on it in the first place--- her research, her beloved books, her home in Ponyville, her ties to her close friends, and if certain factions have their way, her daughter Nyx.

    She's going to have to put up one hell of a fight to wrangle a compromise between the life that she wants... and the destiny that somepony else picked for her.

    Business at Carousel Boutique has been picking up ever since the Royal Wedding. While the work has been a godsend, Rarity soon finds herself buried in custom orders, fussy Canterlot ponies, and deadlines she's unsure she can meet.

    At the end of her rope, she remembers that time there were simply too many Pinkie Pies, and has an idea.

    What could go wrong?

    (Story inspired by a comment left by MarineMarksman on another story of mine, Oh, you. Thanks for the inspiration!)

    A handful of pages recount a remarkable journey to Equestria by someone who sought only a little peace. The story continues in Justice, and concludes in Hope.

    Immediately following the events of Appletheosis, Applejack must relearn her place in the world as the new Princess Mara of Equestria. Meanwhile, her family and friends have their own troubles with the changes. Through it all, little Merry May, first in the service of her goddess, tries to hold things together and keep everypony sane and happy.

    I won't tell you what to do, (this time) but reading Appletheosis first is highly recommended. The Shadow of the Goddess also provides useful background and will become very relevant in later chapters.

    Twilight has to help update the woefully out-of-date library system of the Crystal Empire. Fortunately this means she has an opportunity to introduce Nyx to the rest of her family, starting with Nyx's aunt and uncle. Nyx, of course, is thrilled to death. Until she finds out who her aunt and uncle are....

    Twilight Sparkle has always admired Princess Celestia. Her fortitude, her wisdom, her eternal grace and love for all her subjects. Twilight has often fantasized about what it would be like to be in Princess Celestia's horseshoes. She never imagined those fantasies would come true.

    Original inspiration for the concept of Sunny Skies came from the wonderful fic: "Sunny Skies All Day Long".

    Further wanderings through the Leroverse. This fic continues on from the Xenophila main story so you'll need to read that to be able to understand anything that's going on here. This fic may not be clop, but the original is so you have been warned.

    Please note, I don't write the chapters in chronological order and each goes up as and when it's ready meaning the timeline is slowly having its gaps filled in as I go.

    Most importantly, a huge shower of gratitude goes to AnonAuthor and AnonponyDASHIE for granting me permission to play around in their pool. Hopefully they won't need too much extra Chlorine once I'm done.

    As her twenty-first birthday dawns, Twilight Sparkle finds her simple life turned upside down. While her birthright forces itself into her life, Twilight also has to deal with the arrival of three Alicorns. No pony knows where they came from or what they want, and the Alicorns seem intent on keeping themselves and their purposes hidden. To uncover the truth, Twilight will set sail for distant, ancient lands with old and new friends.

    Side-quel to The Longest Night.
