When Celestia banished Nightmare Moon, she thought it was the only way she could save Equestria. This decision, however, though not an easy one to begin with, carried with it a weight that only grew heavier with time. Now, fifty years later, it is the eve of the Summer Sun celebration. Festivities are being held all throughout Equestria, and almost all are celebrating Celestia's defeat of the great evil that nearly covered the land in eternal darkness.

Everyone, save for Celestia herself.

This story is a sequel to The Perilous Romance of Swans

An entire house is consumed by darkness and devoured by the stuff of nightmares. A foal is trapped within this house, which is now a nest of terrors.

Princess Luna arrives to deal with the nightmares leaking into the waking world and close the rift.

But this is no ordinary darkness.

Luna becomes the Princess of Detention. It's not because she was naughty. Stuck atop her lofty tower, it is up to her captives to save her from herself.

If only she didn't write her own demerits.

Now part of a trilogy. Because these things happen. Next up in the series is The Foundling, and this will be followed up with Princess Luna & the Curious Case of the Bitch Fish.

This story is a sequel to To Try For the Sun

The young alicorn Celestia leads and ponies follow, fleeing south from their frozen lands.

Luna is not respected, not mighty like her sister. She can only watch Celestia slowly crumble from ceaseless labor, and the caravan rot with animosity and fear.

She needs to help, yet no one will listen.

She needs power.

(Same universe as To Try for the Sun, reading one is not necessary for the other.)

Celestia: a filly of twelve. A cynical, hungry pauper, with a young sister to protect and feed.

But the food has run out. Winter has gripped the land for too long, and now the pair face starvation.

The cynic in Celestia knows she can't move the sun. But the child in her wonders... and so she tries.

(Inspired by the Donovan song of the same name.)

(Now with a Spanish translation here.)

It's been nine years since Twilight's ascension, and her relationship with her friends has never been stronger. While many things have changed about their respective lives, Twilight and her friends remain very close.

Unfortunately, their heroism will need to be called upon again, but this time, they may not be enough. The Nightmare Moon Incident had one more complication, one final loose end. One pony, thought forever lost to the passage of time, returns. And she will have her mother free... or die trying.

This story is a sequel to The Changelings Have a King

It has been six months since the Changeling invasion. Ponyville is struggling to rebuild, some wounds have not yet healed, and tensions are rising with Canterlot after the revealing of Princess Celestia's greatest secret.

As storm clouds gather on the horizon, possible new allies arrive in the form of the last of the ancient pegasus tribes; the Children of the Hurricane. They promise aid and order, but are their intentions truly as pure as they seem?

Meanwhile, Princess Celestia decides to seek out the apparently still alive Starswirl the Bearded. Her search will lead her to the darkest pits of Equestria, to the far-flung Frozen North, and will unearth a legendary evil that she has spent centuries hiding away.

And in the floating city of Zeph, stronghold of the Children of the Hurricane, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy will finally come face to face with their mysterious origins along with enemies both old and new.

Across Equestria, the forces of fate continue their unending march towards their ultimate conclusion;

A storm is coming... and it comes on swift wings.

The second in the planned trilogy that would have concluded the continuity of stories that began with 'Dear Sweetie Belle.' After the story's death, the synopsis of what would have been told (as well as the events of the trilogy's third act) will have to satiate those who've come on the journey thus far.

Cover art is the latest Swirling Line masterpiece.

When Lord Tirek asks Cozy Glow what seems like a normal question, he has no idea the floodgates that will open... and how his relationship to the little villain might ultimately be changed.

//////////////////////////////////////////////

A small bit of villainous sweetness inspired by both the dynamic of the Evil Trio and the cover art by soundwavepie.

On the surface, it's an ordinary meeting between friends. Fluttershy and the former Princess Celestia are friends, aren't they? How could they not be?

And because they're friends, Fluttershy has something very important to discuss with the former leader of Equestria. Very important and very personal. It involves fears, doubts, and the romantic life of the creature who was once Equestria's greatest threat...

A little idea that popped into my head and simply would not go away until I put it down on paper.

When Twilight received a letter from Luna informing her of Princess Celestia's death, she had no idea what to expect. However, nothing could have prepared her for what followed.
