While welcoming a foreign dignitary to Princess Twilight's Palace, Applejack refers to the single monarch as "Y'all." This, of course, causes the entire Kingdom of Equestria to explode into flames.

Okay, maybe not explode into flames, but it could happen... right? Just ask Twilight...

Meh.

When the perfect series of events all conspire against the sleepy little town of Ponyville, disaster strikes in the form of a massive flood that completely swallows the small town. However, this cloud may have a silver lining for at least one Ponyville citizen. The resident Princess, Twilight Sparkle, needs a place to stay until the water recedes, and there just so happens to be a pony she's been meaning to spend more time with that lives in the sky, safe from the water below.

Princess Celestia is the loving ruler of the peaceful land of Equestria, along with her dear younger sister, Princess Luna.

But, a long time ago, few ponies even knew that Princess Luna had existed. It was just Princess Celestia, way back then, and nopony thought anything of it, until one of her students slowly put the pieces together and wrote down her findings.

Now, nearly six hundred years later, Twilight Sparkle finds the diary of that one faithful student who saw past the Princess's facade and taught her teacher a lesson, herself.

Twilight Sparkle never seemed to notice Lyra Heartstrings. She didn't even remember Lyra's name.

They were friends back in Canterlot and even went to school together. Yet Twilight didn't notice that Lyra just happened to move to Ponyville the same day she did. She didn't even notice when Lyra appeared at her welcoming party. Nor did she ever seem to spot her old classmate passing by in the background on any other day during her stay in Ponyville. Some days she could look right at Lyra and never realize that they knew each other.

Lyra isn't a very noticeable pony. She has put a lot of effort into that.

Set in late season 5, after Amending Fences.
Note: Lots of spoilers in the comments.

This story is a sequel to Sum of Their Parts

Many seasons ago, the four princesses of Equestria used magic beyond their understanding to defeat a great evil and accidentally created a new, unique being in the process. Now, with the spell’s original creators returned from Limbo, the princesses are determined to set things right.

A long asked for short sequel to my first fic on this site, Sum of Their Parts. Thanks to everyone who enjoyed it enough to push me to write this epilogue of sorts to the original tale.

With an age-old threat poised to devastate Equestria, the Princesses gather to use a spell left behind by the great Star Swirl the Bearded in order to ensure their victory.

Now all four have become an entirely new being, with her own thoughts and feelings. And in order for the Princesses to return, she will have to die.

After finding Discord hiding out in his closet, Twilight Sparkle soon learns the most horrible of truths about herself and the world surrounding her.

And then she learns another truth.

And another. And another. And...

Twilight's had some time to think about what happened during the Tirek crisis, and now she has only one question on her mind:

Did Twilight get Celestia's immortality or not?

When she confronts her former mentor about it, she learns some interesting things about definitions, technicalities, and necromancy.

More importantly, she learns that even the greatest of ponies have their weaknesses.

A/N: Mostly TwiLestia friendshipping, and lots of headcanon. Also one or two cameos.

No pony can hold onto their magic forever. Inevitably, a pony's body will be broken, and their magic will return to the air and soil. Celestia has held onto her magic for a very long time.

After many long years of preparation, the time for Twilight to succeed Celestia as Bearer of the Sun has come. But as the abdication ceremony in which Celestia will relinquish her power approaches, Twilight begins to desperately search for a way to stop the dread ritual of the ceremony and save her friend.

What made Cozy Glow evil?

That was the question that everypony would wonder whenever that peculiar name would be heard. Was it her cutie mark? Was it her parents? Was it both? Or was it something more?

A few nights before Twilight's coronation, the Princess of Friendship ponders those exact questions.

Then, there was a knock on her castle doors.

Note: Just a random idea I had. Just a heads up though, this is NOT canon with The Dawn of a New Mission, or ANY of its sequels, present or upcoming. This is a standalone fic, and NOTHING more!
