This story is a sequel to GARGANTULON VS. THE SPACE DRACULAS

Rarity and her friends are too old to go trick or treating-- which is what little sisters are for.

With the excuse of chaperoning Sweetie Belle and company, Rarity sets out to savor the last Halloween of her youth before she heads off to college.

Plus, free candy.

Sgt. Sunset Shimmer is dying. Struck in the stomach by a bullet during the heat of combat, she now lays helpless on a deserted battlefield, the conflict having moved on without her. There's not a living soul around to help her... or so it might seem.

Until she's approached by a being from her past, one that she'd desperately hoped never to see again, a creature to which she has given much and owes much more... and one that might be able to save her life.

Choices, choices...

Sex tag is for verbal insinuations only. Violence tag for some descriptions of blood and broken bones.

Rarity can't sleep these days.

It's nothing she can't handle, of course: one more source of stress for an aspiring fashionista as ambitious as herself isn't really important. So none of her friends need to help her with her nightmares.

And then, all of a sudden, one of them does anyway.

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.

Longdesc

In the Dreamlands, the Princess of the Night meets a young fashion designer named Coco Pommel, drawn to her passionate vision of sparkling white and brilliant diamond and rich indigo. While helping her learn to speak her feelings to the mare of her dreams, Luna is reminded of a mare from her own past. One that lived and died a millennium ago, in an Equestria far different from that of the modern day.

Info

Idea to write CocoLuna inspired by RDT's Broken Promises at a Hearth's Warming Eve Pageant.

Summary

It's the day of Matilda and Cranky's wedding, and Bon Bon is finally able to admit to Lyra her secret past as Agent Sweetie Drops. Then later that night, her other secret: that she has been in love with her for years. But Lyra has a secret of her own to tell. Something that disturbs her.

She heads north, to the Crystal Empire, to consult with the Princess of Love.

Spoiler Summary

A religious fundamentalist visits a demi-goddess of her religion to ask her to put her allosexual marefriend through conversion therapy to turn her demisexual. Said demi-goddess, who is somehow a very tired atheist academic sexual ethicist, helps her get over her allophobia instead.

Content

Sex: Nothing is depicted, but this is a story that takes the "Lyra has a human fetish" thing seriously, and treats it as something for her potential partner to come to terms with, particularly how it intersects with the parts of Lyra's sexuality that are stigmatized in this version of Equestria. Thus, sexuality and the Equestrian perception of its ethical bounds are discussed heavily in Part 2. This includes hinting at (but not naming or describing) some unpleasant things and the unleashing of the rage of a demi-goddess over it.

Author's Note

Thanks to Gay For Gadot for feedback on the first draft!

This is my attempt at not only taking the whole "Lyra has a human fetish" idea seriously, but also taking very seriously the canon depiction of sex (that is, it is never mentioned or even implied, because it is a show for children).

I've had this very canon-deviant headcanon for Princess Cadance for a long time, given her nation's isolation from the rest of Equestria and the whole "Princess of Love" thing being a little too on-the-nose for my liking, going by straight canon. I had a lot of fun writing her interactions with my version of Bon Bon, who is the Equestrian version of a religious fundamentalist.

Applejack’s rodeo career is one of the brightest and most promising. She’s good enough to go pro, despite her intense rivalry with Strawberry Sunrise. However, after her career takes a turn, her life changes in unexpected ways. She's always been good at 'cowboying up', but will she truly be able to confront her new life?
