Poor Princess Luna. She's spent the last thousand years trapped in an insane version of herself, and then further trapped on the moon-- not the best place to stay up on one's social and diplomatic skills.

The night princess has studied hard and tried everything she could to ensure that she's up-to-date with normal protocol and everything the modern age has to offer, but old habits die hard. When faced with the prospect of putting her hard-studied skills to the test, Luna is unsure of herself-- and flagging or failing now could set her back even further than she already is.

Perhaps the advice and companionship of a few members of her faithful royal guards could help Princess Luna to relax before her big Not-Nightmare-Night-At-All Banquet? ...Or perhaps that could be the most disastrous thing that has happened to Luna since her return from the moon.

Marked as teen for alcohol consumption. Because we all know that teens do that. HURRRRRRR. Just a little light humor piece I slapped together after watching Luna Eclipsed and thinking "Boy, she acts kinda like she's drunk..."

I stole the names for Luna's guards from Ask Whirly and the Night Guards because Vengeance and Wrath are just too awesome to pass up)

An ancient manuscript written in Middle English, the only surviving artifact from long lost Earth, may hold the true reason for the emergence of Equestria, the very existence of the Conversion Bureaus, and the deepest secret of Princess Celestia herself.

This story is a continuation and expansion of 'The Conversion Bureau: Letters From Home', but it is not necessary to have read that story to enjoy and follow this one.

Rainbow Dash is a headstrong, athletic pony who is utterly faithful to her friends and doesn't keep any secrets from them. Or so she pretends. Yet a surprise visit from Twilight Sparkle is about to blow the secret wide open, and the multi-hued pegasus will find out just how strong their friendship is.

Note: This story was written in the week following the airing of "May The Best Pet Win", and well before "Read It and Weep" was even known about. As such it haws since been overtaken by canon, but most folk tend to like it still so I will upload it here so I have a bit of a presence on FIMfiction beyond "lurker #347,921".

This story also includes "The Unrelated Epilogue" which is a mini-story based on a loose bit in the main one that I felt did not stand on its own, but that I wanted up nonetheless. It has Luna, but not RD or TS.

While conducting some late-night research for an assignment from the princess Twilight Sparkle is sidetracked by a book entitled 'Dear Princess Luna'. Upon analysis the young mare finds herself reading the story of her life...if Princess Luna took Princess Celestia's place as her tutor. As Twilight reads on and on she begins to realise how conflicted as to how lucky...or unlucky she had been to be taught by Celestia.

Shawn Spencer, psychic detective, is a thick-tufted boy genius who ice skates through life on polished blades of snarky eloquence. He has tested himself against some of the greatest criminal minds of his time and emerged victorious... though often through unbelievable luck and not a small amount of bumbling.

Now, he faces a challenge unlike any before. One that will test his mind, his sanity, and his adaptability as he is thrust into the midst of an unfamiliar world and the ponies who populate it.

The Mane 6 face their own challenge, as an old enemy, tempered in the crimes of a much harsher world than theirs, returns to Equestria. It is a challenge they are ill-prepared for and one that only their strange, new, alien friend can help them overcome.

It's not real, it can't be real. Ponies are just cartoons and some fanfics on the internet. The wings, the hooves... I'm just having a bad dream!
I wish that were true. But pain, friends, and a strange drink are telling me this is all too real. I'm a pony now and I think the world is falling apart.
People, the end is nigh, the world has decided to go out with a bang, and it's taking us along for the ride.

*Loosely based on "The Conversion Bureau" universe.*
*Note about the art. Chatoyance was very kind to create some fan art. Just as a little note though "John" has brown hair not bond. Just a little tidbit to keep in mind while reading. Thanks so much again Chatoyance!*

Pinwheel is a simple earth pony. She lives in a little cottage outside Sweet Apple Acres, she makes pinwheels for a living, and she has plenty of friends. But one day, when she goes flying with her good pegasus pal Dizzy, she takes a fall and lands in the dark crossroads between life and death! If that's not bad enough, the Grim Reaper is forcing her to bargain for her life! And what will she do when that bargain takes a somewhat more...personal turn?

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

*6-16-2017 Edit, added Rainbow Dash tag because it triggered knighty.*

Scootaloo is a small pegasus with big dreams, one of those dreams is to be even more famous than her idol, Rainbow Dash. To get there, though, she needs to do a bit of growing, and first of all she needs to learn how to fly. A new invention from her friend Doctor Whooves may get her there in no time at all, literally before she knows it.

Rarity invites Applejack and Twilight over to help her taste a new case of wine from Canterlot.

My Little Ponies are, well, little. And alcohol works fast on them.
