The Griffon Kingdom was once a prosperous and happy country, but in the past century it has fallen into ruin. It now sits as an empty husk of what it once was, leaving the griffons living there to scrounge for whatever they can find to survive. There is no government, no leaders, and for many griffons, no hope.

Princess Celestia has done all she can to try and aid it and the griffons living there, but there is only so much she can do without causing an international incident. Now her hoof has been forced. A changeling queen is building a hive deep inside the kingdom, and once fully established it will be a threat to ponies and griffons alike.

Gilda doesn't care about any of that. She's far more interested in finishing her new bakery. It hasn't been easy, she had to persuade a number of griffons to come together to build it, but she had gotten it done. Now, with the help of her two employees (who she might go as far to even call friends) she's almost ready to open for business.

Unfortunately, Gilda's hard work is about to put her front and center in Celestia's plan to save the Griffon Kingdom. A task which comes with a whole host of problems, as well as a crown.

And also check out the series, beginning with Not Exactly Friends.

Though it’s not my style, I decided to make this my very first story. The story here takes place during season 8 and is an alternate universe which will ignore any events that will happen in the final season. Since this is my first story, I could actually use some constructive criticism.

I don’t own anything.

Updates: When I have time.
Hopefully bi-weekly on Wednesdays.

Princess Twilight is throwing a party for her family, friends and their families too at the Castle of Friendship for Hearth's Warming. She and Pinkie have been planning this celebration for a number of moons; getting everypony on the guest list committed to being there. This will be the first time they will all be together under one roof with their families; a tradition Twilight would like very much to continue.

This story is a sequel to My Little Pony Friendship is Magic What If?: Volume 8

The ninth year of the show, eight whole seasons, seven main characters, six times in a row, five episodes from Season 8, four multi parters, three years of double releases, two volumes each, and one more release before the end of the show! It's that series which seeks to answer the fateful question "What if that episode had been written differently?"

There's only ten episodes to cover this time around, five from Season 8 and five from other seasons. This includes a redo, and a rewrite of two two parters, and some episodes that have been on the backburner for a while. Some other episodes will also be getting a touch up, and one will even be getting an interesting retooling to fit a possible idea. But which one that is will only be answered if you read the releases.

As always, the same disclaimer applies, the episodes rewritten are based on my personal opinion so please respect it. Don't get offended if an episode you liked is on the list here, or an episode you didn't like isn't. I'll gladly respect your opinions if you respect mine.

And of course, I mean no disrespect to Hasbro, the DHX writing and editing staff, or anyone who likes the episodes that appear here. The intent of this fic, like all of its predecessors, is for entertainment purposes only.

You can access the first volume from the main page of my account, and from there you can follow the links to see what episodes have already been rewritten in Volumes 1-8. To list them all here would take forever. Be sure to check them all out.

Twilight Velvet has been feeling a disconnect with her daughter for a long time. When things come to a head, they finally talk.

FEATURED 8/3/2019!

Starlight Glimmer and Sunburst have been dating for four years, and living together in the Crystal Empire for two of them. But when Starlight fears the past may repeat itself, Sunburst asks her one very serious question.

Being a princess is no cakewalk. And Luna, Celestia and Candace know that. They want to have a daughter so they can have company. Together they go to a place where they can adopt a foal. Each chooses and adopts a unicorn foal.

* In this AU, Candace never went to the Crystal Empire. That is, the Crystal Empire never existed. She was helping Luna and Celestia with the royal duties. And Luna never became Nightmare Moon.
