"My dear Twilight Sparkle,

Thank you for your recent letters. And I must apologize to you first and foremost that I have not responded back in kind to each and every one. I imagine has this concerned you, but please don't worry. Things have been very unsettled here in the castle as of late. Princess Luna has been researching Equestrian history, and I find myself in a strange kind of mood..."

A croaking beast, likely to be considered of above average size by most that would care to judge such things, has found himself lost in the magical pastel world that we've all come to love and care for. He doesn't seem to have noticed.

Please, take now my hand stand beside me as we watch how this situation develops, for it is sure to be a story full of humor, drama, and dare I say... even perhaps romance?

When Sunset Shimmer decided to return to Equestria to right past wrongs, neither she nor her friend Princess Twilight Sparkle could possibly imagine the series of events resulting from that decision.

With the Crystal Mirror irrevocably broken, Princess Twilight is now stranded in the other world, while the highly agitated, furious, and unhelpful human Twilight is equally stranded in Equestria. Sunset Shimmer--still new to friendship--now faces enormous challenges as she struggles to solve the seemingly impossible: how to send the human Twilight back while also bringing Princess Twilight back, when the only portal between worlds has been destroyed...and how to heal her former mentor and teacher, Princess Celestia, who has been stricken by a debilitating illness.

With the prickly and standoffish Twilight refusing to help--and, more often than not, injuring feelings and infuriating tempers--the fate of both worlds rests squarely on her shoulders.

Alexander, an intelligent, young man has seen enough. The way the world runs disgusts him and the decisions made seem to be outright wrong and thus he retreats to the realm of fantasy and fiction, until one day, a magical entity has a very tempting proposal....

When Maud visits the Perilous Peaks, a place full of strangely silent creatures called Kirin, in search of a new friend for her pet rock Boulder, she comes across a mountaintop where she meets a very special Kirin named Autumn Blaze, who just might have the perfect friend for Boulder... and Maud herself.

Twilight writes to Princess Celestia for an explanation of an insidious issue Shining Armor told her about... but she ends up finding a secret that will change her life forever.

Short and thoughtful, with just a little pinch of humor to liven things up.

Many thanks to my proofreaders and pre-readers, Kolth, Sky Warden, and Colt, all from MLP Forums.

History is a funny thing--so easily twisted to fit the one pony's opinion, and then that opinion can become widespread, now viewed as unchangeable fact.
The Crystal Empire is one prime example of that. It is very different from what everypony thinks to this day...

Many thanks to my (very patient ) proofreader, The Sound of Loneliness!

Written because Monochromatic's RariTwi Bomb event made me want to stretch my writing legs during my hiatus.

Twilight Sparkle, prized pupil of Princess Celestia and most powerful unicorn to date, is convinced that strength is the most important part in a fight.

Rarity Belle, seamstress of Ponyville and sister to Sweetie Belle, is unconvinced and has decided that Twilight needs to be taught a little lesson.

The result? A duel at high noon.

Chrysalis might be one of the most evil, vile, and dastardly villains that Equestria has ever known. She might have been responsible for nearly destroying the world more than once, she might even be a soul-sicking, shapeshifting monster, but she is still a mare.

She had never been given a genuine, honest compliment from someone that wasn't under threat or stuffed into a feeding pod or mind controlled. Today that is going to change.

Cadence really hasn't happy about the whole thing.

This is a chapter by chapter rundown of the major events of Equestrian history. It is a more complex writing detailing the events, cultures, and characters of the history of pony kind. Written by a pony historian, it records a complete history.

Some basic historical knowledge of both the pony and human kind would be helpful when reading this. This is a complex version of the history, written to a higher level. If you cannot understand the terms used and historical events or documents referenced, you probably shouldn't be reading this story.

If you have any unanswered questions about the history, put them in the comments. I'll give you more information then you ever wanted to know, and if the question has a too lengthy answer, I'll put it into my personal archives of Things to Talk About in Later Stories.
