Luna has now become her own mare

Cadence has become a beautiful princess in her own right

Twilight has grown up and graduated.

Celestia now begins to wonder about her own life and if she is still needed to be there for the younger generation and if they still need her to guide them.

And can you dry your tears
When the rain falls down in droves and droves
And can I be here for you
To let me hold you tight

Trixie has been best friends with Starlight Glimmer for months now, and the bond between them has never been stronger. But, after a bull-headed mistake and lack of critical thinking, Trixie manages to leave Starlight Glimmer angry and disappointed. Again.

Over the course of a single day, Trixie takes the steps to make things right between the two of them and, in doing so, instantly discovers some feelings inside of her that she never thought possible. Her best friend was kind, sweet, and yes, very hot. And now she was in love with her.

Greatly inspired by this amazing image by TheSoleil, as well as the brony song Seagulls by the illustrious FritzyBeat.

It's the dawn of a new era, and Starlight is having some pretty major doubts. And questions. Good thing she has a great and powerful best friend to coach her through it.

A tired Starlight stumbles upon a similarly restless Twilight in the library late at night.

(Post-Season 6 Finale before Celestial Advice)

Princess Twilight Sparkle has been faced with a difficult decision. Unsure of what to do, she seeks advice from her old mentor, Celestia. The ex-ruler of Equestria may not have an answer for her, but she does have a story. A story about guilt. A story about the greater good.

A story about the day after the worst day of her life.

This story is a sequel to The Unexplained Past

(The story before this is not necessary to understand this one.)

Opaline's will to live is slowly waning. Her power is gone and it doesn't look like she'll be able to get it back anytime soon. Only her blistering rage against Twilight is keeping her here on this earth. That is, until she finds a unicorn filly without parents.

Part of my headcanon, so yeah, if you disagree, then you disagree.

Opaline had stolen the cutie marks from half of Equestria and was rapidly conquering the rest. Even the fake alicorn Sunny Starscout and her minions were faltering before her. One more push would bring Opaline to her final victory.

Then she surrendered.

And even Opaline doesn’t know why.

In the dead of winter, Equestria celebrates the arrival of a new year. On this special day, Celestia and Luna make a show of raising the sun and lowering the moon simultaneously, allowing their subjects to know the exact moment that they can begin partying.

Luna has some reservations about this.

Speak of the nightmare, and she shall appear.

Celestia and Luna were supposed to enjoy each other on a night alone in the Everfree. However, things go south when they find Luna's old dark self: Nightmare Moon. But, she is different. She wants to be better and wants forgiveness. And Luna, listening to the mare lament, asks herself a question.

Is Nightmare Moon deserving of the forgiveness she asks for?

Takes place three days after the events of Luna Eclipsed.

As proud as she was of her royal duties, the nights in Canterlot often left Luna bored and lonely - remembering her troubled past as Night Mare Moon made it no easier. Determined to clear her head, the Princess of the Night decides to take a night-time stroll - making new friends and discovering things about herself in the process.
