Ruling the peaceful land of Equestria isn't all invasions and battles with demi-gods, most days it's a pretty boring gig... especially when you've been doing it for over two-thousand years. Can a visit from Shining Armor, newly crowned co-ruler of the Crystal Empire, spice things up? Or will Celestia get more entertainment than she's bargained for?
A request by my friend Magello for a story about an old sketch of his!
Whaaat? No actual princess throwing? I was so sure he would have given his fan a quick live demonstration of his famous princess throw with using Celestia as Cady's substitute. Well, maybe it's better this way, it's not smart to try her patience too much.
A small thing, but this line here is a bit awkward, with a suggested fix in bold:
“I commissionED a painting from Chiaroscuro for you,” Shining Armor said. “It’s just a little gift from my Empire to your Kingdom – a sign of respect and thanks for always being there for us.”
I look forward to seeing your next piece of pony prose!
That was pretty hilarious. Shining is such a dork, and he had an entire Empire of ponies egging him on.

This story is awesome. I would love to see if Shining acts this way when Cadance is around, or if she thinks it's cute. I can definitely understand the Crystal ponies being conditioned to follow a charismatic unicorn stallion warrior. I wish this fic would keep going, and show us Celestia telling him off.
So if Aladdin was a pony and did an entire mountain of drugs this is what it would have looked like.
This feels like the best kind of story to go with a Magello pic. Utterly insane and hilarious.
As delightfully dumb as that other story was ludicrously perfect.
