Created for Monochromatic's Interwoven Colours contest.

Twilight and Luna, due to a minor incident, are stuck doing a job they would rather not do. They are stuck overseeing a dance for the up and coming future nobles from Celestia's school on what should have been a date night for the two. Whatever shall two very powerful princesses do in this situation?

On an assignment from Celestia to inspect the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters Twilight hears her friends tell the tale of the legendary Vampire Queen. She insists they stop spreading around such old wives' tales but some things in the castle make her question that belief especially when she encounters evidence that the story might be true during the investigation.

(Set after the Season 3 episode Games Ponies Play)

Having committed one of the greatest crimes in Equestrian history Twilight finds herself exiled from her home. None of her close friends side with her during her hearing and she is curious as to why. At the same time she is presented with options she never had in Equestria and a chance at a life more on her own terms than playing nice with nobles or simply being a librarian first and a princess second. Which priority will prevail or can she achieve both?

Twilight and Luna set out to dig up some old records in the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters. As they are doing this a plot by Chrysalis, hinging on the two alicorns being out of her way, begins to move on Canterlot through unexpected means. Will the two alicorns even realize there is trouble in time and even if they do, can they get to Canterlot in time to save it? The Princesses might even have bigger issues besides. One has a crush on the other and the one being crushed on is probably the most romantically oblivious pony to have ever existed.

Equestria, a land of peace and prosperity. It has been free of any true war for centuries and has prospered for it. However, it has also changed little in that time and its guard isn't what it should be. For several centuries now House Star, a noble house that is the last standing member of the ancient Lunar Court, has tried to get Canterlot's other noble houses, and indeed the royal of the sun, to see this but have never succeeded. Twilight, newest princess of Equestria and heir of House Star, just might know a way to shake things up.

Chrysalis has been demonstrating signs of mania and depression. Her hive's scientists think they have a solution that will not only perk up their queen but also fill their bellies and coffers via an unconventional solution. Hopefully their plan will work provided the test run works out. Perhaps this will end in a happy Chrysalis?

Being the Element of Magic isn't all fun and games like most might think. It seems to carry with it an unexpected price or at least that is what Twilight thinks is the cause of her growing issue. She is finding herself as desperate for new magic as someone lost in the desert would be for water and this growing hunger isn't going away. The more new things she learns the worse it gets. She needs help before she completely gives into this hunger and begins to do anything just for new magic.
