The most recent Friendship Games have just finished, with Crystal Prep's star academic Twilight Sparkle nearly ending the world. Abacus Cinch doesn't care about that; she merely wants Canterlot High School to forfeit the Games, claiming that the use of magic is cheating. Before anything else can be said, a new arrival appears, and Abacus Cinch gets a rude awakening.

Twilight is fed up having to take care of every threat to Equestria.
Especially since she is way too smart NOT to notice the discrepancy between Celestia's so called 'defeats' and the actual power she knows her mentor possesses.

Therefore, Twilight decides to kick Celestia's royal butt (figuratively) into dealing with all the villains herself again.

After all, the Princess of Friendship deserves some vacation, too.

This is not really a crossover (therefore no tag), nor a ponification.
But I honestly think, that Saitama and Celestia share at least one similarity... when she wants to, that is.

Warning: Contains obvious fanboying and an accurately powered Celestia

Two young lovers are starcrossed, however, they know nothing of it. The Crystal Empire, dubbed as the Kingdom of Love, is where the two souls meet. Yes, Flash Sentry might have some experience with mares, but has nothing to show for the Princess of Friendship, the Element of Magic. Not because he knows it's wrong, it goes against both law and tradition, but because she makes him nervous.
Twilight finds this certain Guard to be fun to be around, likes him, but doesn't know his name. While he is an awkward fellow, she knows the two of them could never be together. But when she moves on him first, it's hard for the simply far too modest Flash Sentry to deny they love each other. She finds he gains confidence, as well as new fears, and doesn't want to disappoint her.
As much as they know it's wrong, they cannot stay apart, and struggle with handling different events, as it appears every single mare in Equestria adores Flash. And that's not all he has to worry about.

Okay. Before you guys dig into what I have here, please do read The Order by Bad_Seed_72-no, I am not sponsoring it, nor am I paid to do this- and the sequel to it, as I drew some inspiration, probably the most from that one single-handedly. And for those who read this story early, yes, I am planning to add a lot. Not everything might appear in the desription above as does the story, which you all need to understand slightly. If you all want me to, I can push out the first ten chapters immediately, which I could do.

As it turns out, having a high frequency of traumatizing magical crises on campus tends to upset the PTA, and now Principal Celestia has landed firmly in their crosshairs. After the fiasco at the Friendship Games, Superintendent Neighsay has had enough and forces Celestia into administrative leave, awaiting review. When the two school officials meet face to face, though, Celestia is ready to show that she's not giving up her position without a fight—and that she can hold her own in the face of Neighsay's wrath.

She kind of messes the place up a bit.

I appreciate the story being shared around, commented on, liked, enjoyed, all that jazz.

Celestia prepares for another routine day at the castle with the recent addition of teaching her new, young student. However, an impromptu structure made from books causes a slight change of plans.

As the sun sets on another day in the magical land of Equestria, an era sets along with it. One of the last remaining participants of a bygone age rests idly, bracing themselves to face whatever lies beyond this mortal coil.

Twilight Sparkle is no stranger to death. As an alicorn, one of the immortal rulers and protectors of Equestria, she's seen many dear friends come and go over the countless years. But through it all, there was one confidant she could always find solace in: Spike, her faithful dragon assistant and adoptive little brother.

Alas, not even dragons, long-lived as they are, can endure forever. Now, with mere hours remaining before Spike leaves this world for the next, the time has come for Twilight to bid farewell to the first and last of her very best friends.

(Featured December 8-10, 2021)

Three weeks after becoming Princess Twilight's pupil, Starlight discovers her mentor is undergoing a horrible existential crisis.

Princess Twilight learned of the existence of her human self, and how she was so unliked and unpopular at her school, even her principal blackmailed her. Princess Twilight fears the only reason she never had to endure these torments is not that ponies actually like her, but because she was the "beloved" student of a princess, and later princess herself, on top of her other family connections.

Starlight sits her mentor down and tells her the (true) story of her troubled past. In it, Starlight will impart on the Princess of Friendship some harsh truths about reality:

That sometimes, the bad guys can win.

That sometimes, life is unfair and ponies with connections can get ahead of you.

That sometimes, you aren't rewarded for your hard work.

That sometimes, there are ponies who don't become better people even if you show them the magic of friendship.

That sometimes, there aren't any happy endings.

But there is also such a thing as a new beginning.

This is a slight AU story in regards to Starlight's backstory and her friendship with Sunburst.
