Celestia has many titles and duties and there are always things that remind her of this. They could be ponies or objects, perhaps even something more abstract and symbolic. Today is one such reminder of one of the lesser known roles, which she was never acknowledged for. She's even afraid to acknowledge it herself no matter how often the date repeats.

Little bits of world building, style experiments, character pieces, and all sorts of under 1,000 words such dumped in this anthology. I might turn them into larger stories at some point, but not really. No spoilers unless noted otherwise. May also include deleted scenes and discarded first draft snippets as well as one shots that can't stand on their own (but lack proper sequels/prequels) and cancelled stories (if I have any, they'll be moved here)*.

Character tags represent the most recurring characters, however in this case the 'Other' tag merely reflects other canon characters. Each bit takes place in the Iceverse, so your mileage may vary.

Oh, and a warning that this may also contain any of the following (which will of course be noted in the author filibuster box):

• Poetry
• Extensive rambling
• Lore!
• Really short stories
• Dialogue-only drabble
• Experimental poetry
• Potentially unexplained happenings
• Shipping
• Seriously, lots of rambling from yours truly
• Prompts
• Since this is an AU anthology expect plenty of headcanon and utter (possibly) nonsense on my part
• Anything else my mind may come up with (the tags will/might start to reflect this as time goes on) There's an anthology tag for that now, because knighty finally did a good thing! Wow!
• At this point let's leave it at "(Your Ad Here) have mercy on your soul."

Although this is marked as complete, it technically isn't. I just keep it like that for organization's sake. Updates whenever I have writing scraps. If you're looking for missing Luna/Sombra chapters, please check out this story here.

*As will notes about the plot and what would have happened if I continued. This only applies to published stories that ended up cancelled, not discarded drafts. Whether or not the contents of the story is still canon will be noted in the A/N as well as the lack of a [Scrapped] tag.

Before Luna became Nightmare Moon, there was Discord, and before there was Discord there was Sombra, the tyrant King of the North. He was the only foe who was vanquished without the Elements, but by the Two Sisters with divine magic all their own. They lost a city; it was taken by the mad king's magic.

After years among the three pony tribes, the Two Sisters fight their first great foe all by themselves: King Sombra, the tyrant King of the Crystal Empire. Nothing goes as planned, everything, and everypony are not as they seem.

The price for this oversight is the future.

A young Discord enjoys the sunrise. It's very quiet here, which means there is plenty of time to think.

Luna returns from the only place she remembers, to a world and two sisters she isn't even sure she loves. Although she is assigned a tutor to help her learn all that she has forgotten, the feral filly-now a young mare-is unsure that she will adjust and become the Princess of the Night everypony expects her to be.

Despite these challenges, she remains fixed on trying to find home, wherever it may be.

In which I try to see how well I can write a very strange AU using overused a few tropes and bizarre headcanon.

Updates whenever.

The King is going to talk and Sombra is thinking once again. One is happy, one is suffering. Neither of them exist to the world around them, and each has words of their own. Except these words seem to say things that are impossible and with each thought the ruler of the Crystal Empire seems more and more like an impossibility.
