It's the Era of Friendship, two millennia have passed since the mane seven brought everlasting harmony to Equestria. Time has moved on and their exploits and acts of heroism have faded into legends. Now join their descendants in 6 individual storytimes with Luna and Celestia as the descendants discover who their ancestors are, what they stood for and how they too have a destiny.
Along the way, Celestia and Luna must confront their past as well. Will they improve themselves by accepting the truth or will they succumb to their own despair? Two thousand years have passed...yet the pain never left, watching those they treasured lowered into the ground. Can they finally stop grieving and see the light as they face the shadows of their own fears and regrets? With everyone else living in perfect harmony and balance...can the alicorn princesses finally move on?
As Celestia and Luna learn lessons from beyond, questions arise. Why are the mane seven reappearing? Aren't these ponies part of the ethereal? If they no longer walk among those of Equestria, how is it they are being seen and even talked to? More importantly how does Celestia's Daughter, Starshine tie into all this? Is she responsible or could it be something else is at work here?
Please let me know your thoughts as this is my first attempt and I would love to know what you liked, as well as receive constructive criticism as to what you may not have enjoyed so much.

This arc is..... Beautiful
The moral is great, and using Pinkie and Luna is just PERFECT. I also like how Bubblegum is just as random as the pink, little colt made me like him
If I have to nitpick... The part with Celestia and Starshine is a bit... abrupt. Maybe if you put it at the end of the arc, or in a single chapter before the next arc, it would've composed the storytelling better.
You wrote Pinkie and Luna well, and personally I feel this arc is better then the first. Keep 'em going

I am so glad you liked it! this was by far the hardest arc to make. I see your point about Celestia and Starshine...hmmm...maybe at the end of the chapter would work better...story within a story after all. I thought placing it there would be a good mood shift, I will work on that! thank you for your feedback!

Apple Spice and Bolt's Storytime When a lie becomes the truth -Part One is now officially up and published please enjoy.
I changed the title name because i felt it was more appropriate for the story being potrayed in this arc.
Sorry all for the lack of progress I have been suffering major writer's block and so I have been unable to complete any new content for a couple weeks now. Do not worry I have begun writing once more and estimation is by friday for the second to last chapter in this book. Thank you all for your patience and support~
a few minutes past the projected release but part two: When a lie becomes the truth is now officially published and stick around for the third and possibly final installment of this story arc...what have the sisters been hiding? Find out next time!
Enjoy~
It's finally up, all the build up has led to this, the final storytime. What the future may hold, the final storytime is now up and ready to read. Please enjoy~
this was an amazing process. A lot of sleepless nights, many hours coordinating thoughts with my friends, grammar and spell checking my work, and all the support from my readers. Thank you.
A huge shoutout to Pink Wolf and Statizkyz for all their help and patience as I badgered them about flow and form, sending them multiple versions of the same paragraph hundred's of times to get it right~
I do have plans for a sequel. So be on the lookout for that~
If the main OCs in this story were voiced, what would they sound like?

Well in the story, Starshine is 8 years old for most of it. I would say mostly a sweet, semi high toned voice, just a hint of squeakiness.
her adult form would portray a voice similiar to a slightly deeper Twilight.
Serenity would sound...chaotic. slightly unhinged during certain points, but mostly put together.
It would depend on the situation...in all honestly.
Bubblegum would be sugarrush in speech, like his mother
Claire would be rebelious and annoyed at being mollicoddled.
Skyflare would be proud like magnus in tone
Apple pie and Applespice would have a southern accent
Bolt would sound a bit like Rarity maybe an octave higher.
BRAVO!!!! IT WAS WONDERFUL, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!! ^^ /)

It continues in Thestral With The Golden Halo. Also I'm glad you enjoyed this!
Ughhhhh the most important rule of dialogue broken... I need to go bleach my eyes now.
Ugh, I should have known that first stories aren't always good grammar wise... well anything wise.
Anyways so far I like this story and wonder where it will go.

Do keep in mind this was the first story i ever wrote for this site. I have been told my writing has improved since then. The material however is all based on my own life. What I've seen and done; twisted into a more enjoyable tale for my readers.
Then again, when I have time I might go back through and edit it.

Yeah, I know. I plan to go through this story sometime later today if I can't find anything else to read or mark for later. There is a story I know that tbh start off horrible... When not like bad bad but compared to later chapter is pretty bad. I guess https://www.fimfiction.net/story/437915/the-equestrian-odyssey-a-tale-of-two-worlds is a prime example to getting better as time goes on.
tbh when comparing this story to some others I've seen, those stories would make this story a master piece.

While grammar has never been my forte, After this book I started using a grammar checker. My autism (not a joke) makes it hard for me to grasp the concept. Though the speaking parts...yeah I agree, though I am glad you can see past that to the actual content. I wrote this (as well as subsequent stories) for therapy reasons; psychiatrist suggested it would help my PTSD. After this book however, I realized how happy it made me and just how much it relieved my stress, and so I got a bit more serious about my writing.

For me if it's grammar I really don't care as long as it not as bad as one story I came across where it honestly made it near impossible to understand the story let alone what it was trying to tell us.
I'm glad that you made stories you enjoy doing!
For now, going off of what I've seen(for description and first two chapters) so far I think it's going be a pretty good story.
