Dusk Shine tries to fix a problem with the Fix-It Spell and learns more than expected.

Part of the Pride and Positivity 2021 Event

Twilight Sparkle has always been frustrated with Discord. His ability to do anything, with no more effort than a snap of his claw. It shouldn't be possible. His power had to come from somewhere.
Then, one day, Twilight lets slip how she feels. Surprisingly Discord agrees to explain it to her. To give her the secret to all of his powers. If she's willing to pay the price that knowing it all will bring.

As short description implies, this was just something I decide to make for fun since I've never really written a fanfic before.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash have been the closest of friends for the longest of time, both being seen as brash tomboys that will always have the other's back. One faithful day, after getting back from spotting for each other at the gym, an accidental slip up may lead to both of them discovering something about themselves and each other.

Mighty lords chart the course of their people, for better or worse, through good times and bad. Their decisions have ramifications that echo across continents and generations. It is in the light of those decisions that the stories of heroes are ultimately defined, whatever side of the lord's reign they may fall upon.
Books are written about those decisions and their consequences critiqued long after most of those lords are gone to dust. A few even consider the personal cost of those heavy choices.

Rose Meadow was the sort who would be all but forgotten by the relentless march of history, save perhaps as set decoration. She was a guard, a professional whose main job was to stand outside an office door and make sure documents weren't stolen and the occupant wasn't unduly interrupted. That said occupant happened to be a head of state didn't matter much, except perhaps so far as to give her a vague sense of pride in her work.
Yet for all their unimportance on the grand stage of history, a guard overhears much, especially when the office door isn't closed properly...

This is a short story set in the world of the acclaimed Hearts of Iron 4 mod, Equestria at War. It is the first entry in the Quenta Roccolië and has been reviewed by Clarke Otterton.

Luna is gone, banished to the moon. Celestia remains alone. And her ponies are beginning to forget.

A prequel to A Flood of Starlight. Read the original to get some of this sisterly angst from Luna's perspective.

Celestia has had to deal with many things throughout her reign, laws, deplomatic meetings, acient old threats coming back to modern day (well more like her pupil dealing with them but who's really going into specifics?) and snobs. Celestia has seen it all and hasn't backed down from any of them. But it gets really boring sometimes.

Thankfully we have a green fellow coming to steal the princess! Let's see how that goes, will it work? will the princess get her day off early? Will they eat cake and enjoy a moment of tranquility? Find all that out in this one-shot!

If your asking why make this the answer is simple; To get better at writing sentimental moments with characters, and trying to make them act in character, so if you have any constructive criticism please do share!

It turns out that Sunset Shimmer's final letters to Princess Celestia before her exile were not filled with resentment or remorse.

There might have been a lot more frantic running away involved.

But whatever the case, it was definitely not Sunset's fault.

At all.

Rated Teen and Sex for mentions of egregious sexual irresponsibility. No actual sex.

Contains minor Sunlight shipping. Much apologies.

Celestia hopes to convince the parliament to ban duels, but it's an unpopular proposal. The last thing she needs is Luna stirring up trouble at the gala, so of course that's what happens.
