In Canterlot’s gardens, there is a lightly damaged fountain.

It's very old.

After the heat death of the universe, nothing remains.

Except for Celestia, of course, and her immortal sun.

Rated Teen for profanity, fantasised Celestia/Luna shipping and prejudice against transdimensional immigrants.

Cheerilee has a terrible little secret, one that she knows may cost her her job and reputation; she knows that it will be discovered one day, and she knows what that means.

But she just can't stop.

Contains linguistic sadism, grotesque grammar, bad teaching and Cheerilight.

Twilight wants to break up with Pinkie Pie.

Pinkie Pie isn't the most perceptive of mares.

Luna likes to conduct her own research.

In fact, she has only ever had to ask one question for it.

The sky is very far away.

A story about Celestia.

Luna puts on some socks.

In doing so, she feels their true power.

Warning: Contains a ridiculously long sentence.

Twilight reads a book about literature and, analysing her world, decides that everything she does is planned by someone other than her.

She does not take it very well.

Rated Everyone for adult humour.

Celestia and Chrysalis have a discussion over chess.

Be forewarned: contains troll!Chrysalis.

Gilda isn't very happy.

Then Pinkie Pie shows up - and with Gilda's unwitting help, they promptly find themselves in a very hostile place, surrounded by very hostile people.

Yes, I am perfectly aware that things going at escape velocity in the atmosphere reach nose speeds of thousands of degrees. Indeed, I am perfectly aware that living things do not generally survive crashing into solid metal at escape velocity. Why, of course I know that ramjets do not work outside of the atmosphere.

I am furthermore perfectly aware that ponies do not speak, nor do they construct machinery, nor do they tend to survive having anvils dropped on them.

Background GildaDash.

Pinkie Pie stands vigil over a dying Rainbow Dash.

A series of laconic vignettes.

Lyra loves Bon-Bon very, very much.

Enough, in fact, to overlook the cream-coloured, beautiful-voiced, wondrous-smelling mare's raging, overwhelming, caricatural homophobia.

This would be the state of the union; Pinkie Pie, however, being as she is, thinks all this 'unrequited love' nonsense is nonsense for silly fillies and dusty old books, and as such decides to intervene.

Princess Luna hasn't held a Night Court for a while, on the advice of her beloved sister; she wonders if she even trusts her, wonders if Celestia is the one at fault, not her.

Being a good monarch, however, she tries first to see the fault in herself, contemplating the events of the first Night Court she has held since her return. Surely, she thinks, no amount of time could separate her from her subjects.

Rainbow Dash, on one of her usual visits to the library in pursuit of Daring Doo's adventures, is rather surprised by a series of sounds coming from Twilight's basement; finding one of her books to be quite disturbing, she decides to investigate. In doing so, she finds herself confronted by what appears to her to be a terrifying secret.

My first ponyfic. Please keep in mind that I don't speak English as my first language; neither do I have the slightest fluency in Latin. Feel free to correct my mistakes and help mend defects in my economy of style.

The second half of the story has been involuntarily rewritten, so I apologise if it seems rushed in places.
