This story is a sequel to Trixie Luna Moon

A shadow descends upon Canterlot. Celestia announces the impending return of Nightmare Moon. And Twilight, Tempest, and their fellow students find there's more to being Equestria's chosen defenders than they bargained for...

Also see the series, beginning with Not Exactly Friends

When Princess Celestia sends her prized pupil, Sunset Shimmer to Ponyville to help organize the Summer Sun Celebration instead of reading about the return of Nightmare Moon, Sunset is tasked with making sure the preparations go well and more importantly, make a friend.

Sunset doesn't really care about friends though, finding herself dealing with an overly enthusiastic Royal Guard Cadet, a horse shoemaker pony, a mailmare, a magician and a flower pony.

May Celestia have mercy on her soul.

I had a decent life after the Fall Formal and the Battle of the Bands. Then some stupid Lifeinvader account ruined everything. It only took one post for everyone to be whispering about who it was, two for the school to blame me, three for my friends to abandon me. If only I knew I was going to form an uneasy alliance with some girls I once called enemies. But at least they believe I'm innocent.

This story is a sequel to Come With Me

With the whole school hating her except a select few, Sunset hates herself and is depressed. Cheerilee learns how hard being a parent is and deals with things she never thought parenthood involved.

(Takes place two months after the Fall Formal.)

When Sunset got accused of going back to her old ways, she was naturally confused and upset as anyone would be. Everyone thinks she's guilty until her framers accidentally post the wrong image and Sunset sees a groupchat her friends have insulting her and she is pissed.

Inspired by Cojo5536s post.

Trixie had planned to have a quiet night under the open stars without Ursa Minors, enchanted amulets, and especially not other ponies to bother her. When a scroll turns up and commands her to attend the Princess for a night of deeply inappropriate fun, she just has one particular problem:

There’s more than one princess in Equestria.

Story is set a couple of weeks after the end of season 3.

Massive thanks to my pre-readers/ideas tasters: Bronetheus, Mooncalf and RK_Striker_JK_5. Go check out Night Errantry, To Romance a Magician and Spanner in the Works for three great fics that are well worth your time.

Image composition was done by me, vectors used from left to right are from blueathombomb, nickman983, chamomiletung, santafer and andreamelody.

By Royal Command now has an unofficial sequel/inspired by fic written not by myself in the form of Waiting for Celestia.

Transported here through mysterious means, a human finds himself trapped in Equestria, and trapped with all its inhabitants! Conscripted into the Ponyville school for the magically adept (despite being entirely inept) our displaced hero attempts to uncover his past, and how he came to be in Equestria, making enemies and new friends along the way! Join him as he stylishly smashes his way through those that would keep him down, with only a little purple mare and his human vigor to carry him to victory!

After the events of the Summer Sun Celebration, Sunset is adjusting fairly well to Ponyville life. Somethings are way more difficult to get used to than she originally thought but has her friends. When Sunset is given six tickets to the grand galloping gala, she is less than enthused but her friends don't understand why she hates the gala but will quickly find out why.

Sunset Shimmer has been deeply in love with Princess Twilight Sparkle for a very, very long time, and she's finally gonna do something about it! Today is the day that Sunset confesses to Twilight Sparkle!

Too bad for her, some other women have the exact same idea.

Starlight Glimmer finds out that a part of her memory has been erased. And not only hers, Twilight Sparkle’s, too.

But when they have their memory restored, they have to deal with the terrible mistake they have made. They have to come clean with Starlight’s fillyfriend Trixie, and somehow figure out with how it could have happened if they want to salvage Starlight’s relationship.

Vivid memories of the night in question are not proving to be particularly helpful.
