Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria, Princess Sweetie Belle became resentful. Too long had everypony sought Princess Rarity's approving glance; too long had she been left out in the darkness.

And she has a plan. And friends to help her enact it.

Written for the Springtime Sequel/Sandbox Switcharoo; inspired by Autumn Wind's The Regalia

Young Luna has just learned to dreamwalk, and she has big ideas what to do with it. She wants to play with her big sister, she wants to join the Research Mages, and she wants to even help Princess Twilight -- but Headmaster Spike has other ideas for her to focus on, like friendship.

Twilight is the one pony in the lunar settlement to ever graduate from the Divine Princess's School for Gifted Unicorns. But she's back home now, where the colonists are living under the oppressive hoof of officials from Equestria below. One day, she's called on to fix the spell-nexus that keeps the settlement alive with its magic, only discovers that it's alive... and it calls itself "Luna."

And Luna wants Twilight to lead a revolution.

Inspired by Robert Heinlein's The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, but not a crossover in setting or characters. Expect further updates later this summer.

Twidash.
Pinkieshy.
Sparity.

The Mane Six get a list of labels... Shipping labels, Pinkie calls them. But what pictures do they bring to mind for the ponies themselves?

Silly parodies. I know. But I'll be adding more chapters and ships later. Probably never going to be "complete" because THE SHIPS WILL LAST FOREVER!

Who embodies friendship more than Pinkie Pie? She's come such a long, long, way, long before Twilight finished that journey. But when it's time for her to become an alicorn, there's just one wrinkle...

"I already HAVE my destiny!"

Just after the changeling invasion, there's something Fluttershy needs to tell Twilight... and Twilight has a lot of questions that need answers.

Including questions she doesn't realize. Like what it means to be a friend. And Rainbow Dash has her own answer to that one.

Inspired by GaPJaxie's story, among others.

Rainbow Dash felt she was missing something. She didn't know what to do with that feeling - it wasn't quite like her old friendship problems; that felt bad, but she knew what to do about it. Look for which friends she was forgetting, and do something about that. But this was a different something she was missing now, and it still felt bad. And she didn't know what it was.

Twilight is an alicorn now. And she's almost as fast as Rainbow Dash. And more beautiful. And more smart. And more awesome. And... what's left for Dash?

On the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid in her escape, and she will bring about nighttime eternal... if she has the strength.

But how can the Bearers of the Elements be gathered without a villain to fight or challenges to face? How can they see the need for harmony and friendship? And without them, what will happen to them, to all Equestria - and to Luna?
