Cadence, feeling sorry for all the orphans in her empire founds an orphanage for them and has all of them open the orphanage right alongside her when the big day finally rolls around.

Luna tries to prove she's really Celestia's mother.

Will she succeed?

Contains at least one lawyer joke, but it's about Equestrian lawyers, so it's ok.

"Later... Bro..."

As Kamina drew his final breath and closed his eyes one final time, he knew then that even his fighting spirit could not hold off the end that greeted him. He hoped that Simon would soon learn to truly believe in himself and find his way without him, as the sound of rain pattered on his own mech Gurren was the last he heard before darkness surrounded him.

And he told himself that he accepted that.

Then why did he want to open his eyes so badly?

This story follows the plot of season one of the anime of Gurren Lagann, but uses the second movie in place of the second series. Any links you see on this work of fiction I suggest you open in a new tab/window. This is my first crossover and I hope you enjoy it! Don't forget to like!

Twilight's power, along with that of Celestia, Luna, and Cadance, has been claimed by Tirek. Drunk on power, the demon-centaur is unleashing destruction upon Equestria, his reign of terror just beginning.

But there is hope. A crystalline chest, a gift from the Tree of Harmony, able to be opened by six keys. Keys which Twilight has now claimed the last of. All they can do is hope, hope that whatever is contained inside the chest is enough to stop Tirek.

And then something goes wrong ...

Note: This story is in no way connected with my other fanfics. It's very much a one-off in good fun.

Everyone told Sweetie Belle that Adagio was manipulative, dangerous, and willing to make others suffer to further her own agenda. But they also all agreed her voice had been magnificent.

Sweetie Belle has lots of great friendship role models already. What she really needs is a singing teacher.

Cadance is upset with her life, but leads a secret double-life on the side. One that involes a certain pink filly from Ponyville.

Changelings aren't liked. They have no close ties. They can't. No one will risk it.

Chrysalis spends most of her time looking at the lives others lead through their social media posts.

She didn't mean to feel anything as she looked at her, but she did.

This story is a sequel to Mournful Sunsets

Five years passed by quickly. Twilight's foal was born, Cadence passed her torch to another so she could support Twilight in Canterlot, and Luna watched it all go by with a sad gaze.

Five years have passed, and the Night Goddess finds herself in a position that she had waited long for. Death.

Sunsets, they are full of color and are the very symbol of romance. But, as all beautiful things, they have a darker, sadder side to them. Because to some, they do not bring happiness and joy, they bring mourn.

Celestia has held off telling Twilight Sparkle about her immortal biology for years.

And now that she's told her successor about it... she'll wish she hadn't.
