So, it's three A.M in Canterlot, and Luna has a major case of the munchies. Celestia fails to realize the direness of this situation, so it's up to herself and Discord to create the ULTIMATE BREAKFAST! What Chaos will insue? How many pancakes will they eat? Why am I asking you all these questions?!

It is highly recommended that you read The Gift of Life before diving into this story.

And I am back to writing! I'll try to have a chapter out a week.

King Sol and Queen Galactica are dead, Everfree City lies in ruins, The Eternal Valley and the Flutterponies have been mutated into equine insects, Discord reigns supreme over the land, and Princess Celestia and Princess Luna have gone into hiding within the small mountain town of Canterlot. The future looks bleak for Equestria under its new tyrant, and slowly the land begins to bend to Discord's will as he resumes his search for the Element of Chaos. Can Celestia and Luna stop the draconequus before he gains the full chaotic power of the moon, or will they suffer the same fates of their parents?

Part 2 of the Lullaby to the Moon series, a (planned) three part series involving the childhoods of Celestia and Luna. Told from the third person perspective of Celestia and Luna(in her respective chapters), this story delves into the holes about what the two princess' lives were like when they were mere fillies all the way until they barely reach adulthood.

Contains spoilers for Season 7, Episode 10: "A Royal Problem," as it takes place the evening after the events in that episode. The episode itself serves largely as a framing device, however.

Long ago, Luna turned into a twisted, evil version of herself, and Celestia remained to watch over Equestria. Yet Celestia has wondered whether she too could turn into a "Nightmare"... and she's speculated about what she would become.

She has kept these thoughts to herself, but when Celestia and her sister witness the former’s evil counterpart, "Daybreaker," in a nightmare, Luna notes that Celestia does not seem too surprised at her own "dark" side...

The next evening, Luna asks Celestia for her thoughts on Daybreaker - and asks what exactly would turn Celestia into such a monster...

Proofread by SPark.

Luna's homecoming tour has taken her to every major city in Equestria. Every city but one. Lunangrad, the frozen sentinel of Equestria's forbidding north, and Luna's ancient sacred center.

Twilight, along for the ride, finds herself drawn inwards towards some horrible secret as the world she knows trembles before some great revelation. The Pilgrimage has begun.

A collection of chapters now have readings by the generous Lotus Moon! Please be sure to check it out!

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.

This story is a sequel to Past Skies

Thousands of years ago, three youngsters roamed the wilds together. Many things happened to them. Some were good, but others are better off forgotten. There are plenty of those. One has just resurfaced, one that Celestia would rather forget.

This can be treated as a stand-alone story. Edited by TCC56. Contribute to the TVTropes page!

Luna has been back in equestria for almost fifteen years and has adopted a modern speech pattern as well as gotten used to everything that has changed. Still she hides something, something terrible. She goes to the place this secret is kept to prevent its escape, Twilight and company follow her. They aren’t prepared for what they see.

Sex is only minor.

Princess Celestia thought her dessert would be simple. A few scoops of ice cream, maybe with some sprinkles and a little whipped cream on the top.

Little did she know that she'd sealed Equestria's doom, summoning a being beyond all comprehension.

Originally written for the 2017 National Pony Writing Month.

When the sky over the Crystal Empire is split open by a dark tear, Celestia, Cadance, Luna and Twilight must figure out a way to stop it. But in order to defeat darkness, sometimes you NEED darkness. And that leaves only one option; Sombra.

With his powers under lock down, and a growing connection to the strange darkness, can Sombra learn what it really takes to earn an empires respect, or will he abandon them to the darkness from another world?

UPDATED: Chapter one re-formatted, extra bits added, general tidying.

Princess Luna vanished during the siege against Canterlot. She watched from her crystal ball as Celestia was defeated, only for the magic of love to drive the changelings out of Canterlot. While the changelings suffered from their loss, Luna went to Chrysalis to offer her a gift she couldn't refuse.
