Yesterday, Fluttershy hummed happily as she watered her garden.

The two events are not unrelated.

Now with a prequel, Celestia's First Sunrise!

Twilight is old and weak. She has lived a good, long life, and as the last of the Elements of Harmony, she accepts her death. She goes to Canterlot now, to say goodbye to the princesses. But they have one last gift to give the student. The chance to meet their creators and see something truly wonderful...

Fluttershy awakes to find herself in a strange mansion, with no memories at all. After a bit of exploring, she eventually remembers her name, however, she also finds a note, which forces her to descend deeper into the mansion if she ever wants to escape.

[One-shot] The Earth is gone, and Princess Celestia reflects on the hard choices she had to make, and the guilt she now has to live with. My own take on the Conversion Bureau concept.

Being rewritten to address some of the major criticisms of the story

One year after several ponies, including the Elements of Harmony, disappeared from Equestria Princess Celestia finally found a way to bring them back, only to find that they don't want to. The ponies have become members of the leaders of the plane of Ravnica, the guilds, and soon Equestria is drawn into the conflict after one of the ponies is found murdered. Princess Celestia has to find a way to convince the ponies to come back to Equestria and solve this murder with the help of guilds, before another victim is claimed.

And now both sides learn through an event that the other is real. Come join us as we watch as both sides learn to work and live together. And as they find out that events on their respective fiction was not as nice as it seemed as we widen the lenses of the view points...

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes we need a couple drugs -- or six -- and maybe a pegasus, to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.
