Seeking escape from a painful situation, Princess Twilight decides to take a break from Equestria to visit her friend, Sunset Shimmer, in the human world.

Sunset Shimmer has had a few things on her mind for a while, so she sends Princess Twilight Sparkle a message asking her to visit and help Sunset think things through. After finding out her majesty's busy schedule will only allow her to stay just a little after Sunset's shift ends, Sunset asks Twilight to wait for her at her favorite coffee shop: the Sunlight Café.

Sunset Shimmer has a crush on Twilight, and invites to the human world for Valentine's Day. However, Flash Sentry manages to ask Twilight on a date before Sunset gets the chance.

I know Valentine's Day has already passed, but here it is. Better late than never!

How can this be true? When the sun was later in rising than it should have been, Princess Luna became concerned for her older sister. No pony had seen her since Princess Cadance and Shining Armor's reception had ended late the night before. However when Luna went to urge the moon down hoping to nudge Celestia into completing the cycle, her magic brushed against an aura she had hoped and prayed to never glimpse again.

Had her inability to protect the ponies she cares so deeply for, driven Princess Celestia to do... The unthinkable?

Sunset Shimmer was enjoying an iced coffee when a clearly distraught princess enters the cafe carrying bad news about her relation ship with Flash Sentry.

Really, No one can say no to a sad Princess.

I love Twilight Sparkle. I love her so much...but I'm always too shy to say so. Today's the day I tell her, for better or for worse.

With each passing day the cries grow louder, her laughs tainted more and more with mocking, the destruction spreading.

The memories of Luna's rebellion as Nightmare Moon still hang around her neck, dragging her down. Twilight knows the princess's troubles, and she wants to relieve the burden. The nights are dark however, and Luna's dreams darker.

Can Twilight really stitch Luna back together, or are some wounds too deep to heal?

Because sometimes, just because you're immortal doesn't make you invulnerable. Sometimes, the one you're more proud of than anything else is the one that respects you the most, and sometimes respect goes deeper than either of you had ever realised.

Additionally, because sometimes an author wants to try and write something that doesn't end in horse sex, but instead adorable hugging and stuff. If this doesn't work out I'll probably go on and add some horse sex later, because people always like to see that, but I hope people enjoy it. My first foray into a full sized shipping fic, so please tell me what I screwed up.

Twilight Sparkle has always loved Celestia—as a friend, and a mentor, and something else as well. And she finally, finally found the courage to admit those feelings.

Celestia turned her down as gently as she could. That's what she thought, anyway.

But the night is still young—and it's a night for being wrong.

[Rated T for suggestive sexual content. This story takes place between the Season 2 and 3 finales. Additionally, I wasn't able to find the artist who did the cover art, if anyone knows please drop me a line so I can credit them.]
