Princess Luna has returned to Equestria from her millennium of exile, but much has been lost to her: centuries of time, the respect and admiration of a nation, and perhaps worst of all, the beautiful stars in her mane.

Fortunately, she hasn't lost the love of her sister.

Entrant to the first Quills and Sofas Speedwriting competition for the prompt "The Stars are Gone".

Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer are the only two living ponies in the world that can lay claim to one of Equestria's most prestigious titles: the protege of Princess Celestia, ruler of the land of Equestria and perhaps one of the most powerful magic users to ever walk the face of the planet.

However, they are not the first: since Equestria's medieval ages, Celestia has held pupils under her tutelage. Some of these pupils went on to do great things, while others fell prey to their own ambition and power, but even though those students have been dead for years, Celestia still remembers every name that came before.

Her reminiscing becomes more than memories, however, when her very first pupil shows up on the castle steps. One by one, Celestia's former students begin to appear in the prime of their youth, their minds seemingly leaving off right after their deaths. It's up to Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer to find out why these ponies have risen from the dead, and what they're being drawn to...

Rated T for sexual references, profanity and violence.

Featured on 4/14! Thanks everyone!

When Lord Tirek asks Cozy Glow what seems like a normal question, he has no idea the floodgates that will open... and how his relationship to the little villain might ultimately be changed.

A small bit of villainous sweetness inspired by both the dynamic of the Evil Trio and the cover art by soundwavepie.

It's a story Luna has never been able to tell her sister, but only because she's been trapped for a thousand years. But now that she's free, the truth will finally be spoken.

This story is a sequel to Half an hour or bust!

So... yeah. I've mostly been bouncing between writing essays and watching Youtube lately. Really haven't had much of a drive to write anything.

Guess I really gotta shoehorn some ideas in, don't I?

So... let's write a story about it!

Sweetie Belle waits for Rarity to return from a trip to Canterlot. She is desperate for her sister to come home - and desperate for her to stay away, too.

What a mess.

Amber once dreamed of a world she could shape as her own.

Now, that dream is her nightmare and the world's reality.

A spiritual successor to Pony-Me™.

Preread by Commander Joe, Thunderous, Tetra Sparks, Azure Sandora, Sherry A H, and Crimson Arrow.

Fluttershy is a Pegasus, but she's pretty different from the ones that live up on the clouds in Cloudsdale.

Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara's year and a half anniversary is coming up. Everything's been great but... Apple Bloom wishes Diamond would tell her parents already. That way, they wouldn't have to keep hiding their relationship from the world.

(Both characters are aged up in this fic. Think like... 17-19.)

Rated T for: some language, and a couple references to sex.

It took Cadance four meetings to ask for Shining Armor's name and only one to tell him not to fall for her. It took Shining Armor one meeting to realise Cadance was very likely insane and four for him to decide that he was okay with it.

Note: The characters are OOC. My interpretations are of them in their younger years, around their early twenties, perhaps when they are both in University or College.
