After washing up on a beach unknown to you, you found yourself in Maretime Bay, a place full of talking, magical ponies. It didn't take long for you to realize that you were in another world, but at least you had some new friends to give you a helping hoof.

Of these ponies, Princess Pipp Petals became particularly interested in you, and you quickly became an inseparable duo. Well, sort of.

You can't say you necessarily expected to end up in a different world, but if you did, you probably would have hoped that your cute alien girlfriend wouldn't be a social media influencer.

It was nearly one thousand years ago that Opaline Arcana defeated Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends. Her plan had succeeded, and the three ponykinds were split, their bonds broken. However, the ordeal left Opaline drained of her magic. If she revealed herself too soon, everything would have been for naught. She had a castle, but she couldn't leave.

While she still had her followers, there was one major issue: She is immortal, and they were not. Thus, she was eventually the only one left, and she required an assistant. Unfortunately, enchantments will only get a pony so far, and wild creatures aren't exactly reliable. While a young unicorn mare named Misty Brightdawn would come to her a few years before she would finally get her chance to return to the public eye, there were hundreds of years where very little happened.

However, about sixty of those years are an exception. Those were the years that she found herself with something she never expected.

A companion. A human companion.

You love your new unicorn marefriend. She's cute, she's funny, she's energetic, she's optimistic, and she's everything you've ever dreamed of. Somehow, you're everything she's ever dreamed of too, and you've quickly become Maretime Bay's newest power couple.

Unfortunately for everyone else, your combined lovestruck mayhem may be a bit... much.

When you woke up one morning, you weren't expecting to be greeted by candy-colored ponies ruled by a tyrant named Nightmare Moon. You also weren't expecting her to take such a liking to you. She's a bit cruel to her subjects, but you admittedly don't mind the preferential treatment she gives you. So... maybe you like her back?

Perhaps love is the one thing she's been missing.

This story is a sequel to A Rainy Night

You and Rarity got into a big fight. Now, when the weather deems it to be somber, you are determined to make things right.

This story happens at the same time as A Rainy Night.

The species of the characters are purposely ambiguous. Human? Pony? Up to you.

This story is a sequel to With Every Story

Epilogue to the "Royal-Tea" series, though knowledge of the series is not necessary.

It feels like just yesterday that Celestia became your wife. In actuality, that happened not long after she abdicated the Equestrian throne, which was many years ago. Life has certainly been interesting.

And you've loved every minute.

You've been courting Luna for several moons, and the two of you couldn't be happier. However, even as a retiree, she has taken it upon herself to maintain her nocturnal schedule and watch over the dream realm. This has made it difficult for the two of you to make plans together, but an off-the-wall idea of yours might just be the solution you're looking for.

Equestria can seem like a magical place where wonder and excitement await you at every turn. At least, it can to a human like you. Over time, though, you get used to it, and it's inevitable that the excitement will die down sometimes. Now is one of those times, as you and your wife Celestia wait in a stupidly long line at the market. What sort of magical antics will you get into to pass the time?

You're going to have a casual conversation, of course. What else would you do?

After you suddenly appeared in the Crystal Empire one day, Princess Cadance personally saw to it that you were taken care of as you adjusted to your new life. She's been a great friend to you, and thankful though you may be for everything she has done for you, you have a few hangups about the way the "Princess of Love" does things.

But unlike her subjects, you aren't afraid to voice these concerns.

Three years since your arrival. Its been quite the journey of self-rediscovery, one you could never have made without the guidance of Twilight Sparkle, your wonderful friend and now loving companion for life.

Living out the rest of your days in a land where love, friendship, and kindness ruled supreme didn't seem like an unwanted prospect to you. But with painful memories surfacing regarding your old life on Earth, your loving wife Twilight Sparkle sits down with you to offer some reassurance.
