(Takes place immediately after "Friendship University".)

Flim and Flam's fraudulent university has been exposed and shut down, Twilight's School of Friendship is busier than ever. But all is not well.

Now aware of the practices and statements made by the head of the EEA, Princess Celestia realizes she has no choice but to call in Chancellor Neighsay for an important discussion.

The Chancellor is most surprised to be granted an audience with the princess, but he'll be even more surprised by what she has to say to him. Has the chancellor gone too far this time?

Narrowly avoiding imprisonment due to the intervention of the Princess of Friendship, Tempest Shadow reflects and prepares for the new role she has been given in Twilight Sparkle's kingdom.

Trixie, after returning to Ponyville seeking revenge/forgiveness/redemption/bus fare back to Hoofington, winds up in a coma for three months, through no fault of her own. When she wakes up, she's a little concerned by the hole in the ceiling and the one next to the bed, but not enough to really do much investigating. At least, not until she runs into Rainbow Dash who tells her Twilight has gone missing. Then, things get even weirder when Spike comes crawling out of the basement talking about mysterious books and milk and whatnot. Clearly Trixie has no other option than to get to the bottom of things. She just never expected where that bottom would be.

Nightmare Moon has been defeated, the long-lost Princess Luna has returned, and everyone is happy. Well, Princess Celestia is. The castle staff is still rather unnerved by everything the sudden disappearance of their monarch, and are still wary of this situation.

One guard is particularly unhappy with this new arrival. Which is why he's staying as close to her as possible.

On a cold January evening...

...Princess Twilight Sparkle sits beside her mother's bed, watching as the elderly Queen Celestia passes her final evening. Tomorrow, she'll be Queen, and a nation will look to her to unite them in their mourning. However, the burdens of her new position may prove too much to bear.

...Ms. Sunset Shimmer laments within a Canterlot townhouse. It's a foreign setting in an already foreign land. She's a girl born to the slums of Neigh Orleans, thrust into the upper crust of Equestrian society. All because she fell in love with Twilight Sparkle, starting what might be Equestria's most controversial relationship.

...Prime Minister Fancy Pants drowns out another late night behind a wall of gin and tobacco. The labours of running a nation are heavy upon him, and are made no easier by the progressive rhetoric spewed by Celestia's heir. May the gods save Equestria, and his liver, if she ever ascends.

The events of this evening will set in motion a year of deception, alliances, politics, and romance.

Editing was done by Rose Quill, I would like to thank her so much for the help. I couldn't have done this without her.

The lovely cover art is done by Miudraws. Many thanks to them for making this for me. I truly appreciate it, and you all should go check out their stuff, it's incredible.

Written for Oroboro's Sunset Shimmer shipping contest.

"But the purpose of this story, and something it does very well, is to humanize people who are normally larger-than-life. And the politics, it must be said, are gripping, the drama carrying the story and rising to a strong emotional climax in the final chapter." - PresentPerfect, Recommend on December 8th

In present-day Equestria, Flash, the benevolent teenage son of King Discord and Queen Celestia, offers a chance of redemption for the troublemaking offspring of Equestria's most notorious villains: Gaia Everfree, Nightmare Moon, Queen Chrysalis and King Sombra.

Bursting into random pop music songs has been an Equestrian tradition since the dawn of time, or maybe not...I mean somepony must have started the tradition right? Or maybe not somepony...Some siren! Who knows where she and her sisters got the idea from?

Warning: this story contains references to Greek mythology.

Hearth's Warming eve is here once again as snow covers the streets of Canterlot and ponies all over Equestria chant songs. The towns and cities of Equestria light up in many different colors as the festivities beginn.

Celestia has always enjoyed Hearth's Warming eve, it has always been that one day of the year, the day where she can simply enjoy spending time with friends and family.

Only Problem being that her only family member is a grumpy alicorn. For years Celestia has tried convincing Luna to enjoy the festivities, yet she has never succeeded. This year will be different though.
This time she will succeed! This time she won't give up! And there WILL be cake!

Warning: Lots of Cake involved.

Merry Christmas! Happy Hearth's Warming eve everypony! This was just a quick little story I thought of as sort of a present for you all to enjoy. It's nothing special really.

Caaaaaaaaaake

This is an idea that wouldn't leave my head, inspired by Fairy Slayer's "Mommy Nearest," Aldea Donder's "Alicorn," SoundofRainfall's "Play" and RainbowDoubleDash's "Lunaverse"

Alternate Universe: Instead of Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia made Rainbow Dash her personal student instead! Follow her through the events of the 1,000th Summer Sun Celebration. A reimagining of "Friendship is Magic"

After straining for a while, it turns out that Rainbow Dash needs reading glasses, which sucks, because that's super uncool. But it's worth it to get to read the new Daring Do, and besides, it's not like she needs them all the time.

Reading with friends can be fun.

A short, unplanned story written in a couple of hours.
Big pop!
