Love can be a hard or an easy task. For some ponies it’s harder than for others. That’s something Twilight discovers as she tries to come to terms with her feelings about Luna and tell the alicorn about them. Whatever she tries isn’t helping her and talking was never an option. What will happen if she invites Luna to a night of stargazing? Will her heart be able to resist, or will she finally set free her love?

A small reminder due the problems from the last stories. I do not own the cover, nor the art itself. The art is owned by the rightful artist, in this case some pegasister. It's NOT MINE!

War. War is a powerful word, and a dangerous thing. When all else fails, and we are not able to reach the standards we desire, the things we want, feel that should be ours some turn to war. And while Equestria itself does not face war, an alternate world does.

King Sombra's return, was more detrimental than any could imagine. Controlling ponies was a catalyst that brought about Sombra taking over a large section of Equestria, but controlling other species was what started a grand battle on Equus of which the likes Princess Celestia never imagined could ever happen. And right now, the moment to end that war, lies on the shoulders of a pegasus, a broken pegasus. General Rainbow Dash of The Resistance.

Rainbow Dash has lost a lot, her dignity as a pegasus, many of her friends to the war and Sombra's antics. But Sombra is strong, he is powerful, he is confident. He has made calculations and has prepared for this very moment.

What he didn't prepare for, was a certain Stormtrooper to join the battle and aid Rainbow Dash in the fight, that would ultimately decide the world's fate.

Spitfire just wanted a normal day to the Cloudsdale market to buy some apples. Here's the catch: there's a little blue pegasus that keeps following her around...
And why does she keep yelling, "Mommy!"?

Dramatic reading by SkyOfStorms! Check it out here!

Dark times have befallen Equestria.

Starlight Glimmer has betrayed Princess Twilight Sparkle's trust, using her magic and the Cutie Map to force multiple realities to merge. Changeling swarms, Sombra's armies, and nightmarish creatures from the Everfree Forest have overrun Equestria, plunging it into a state of war, confusion, and despair.

Outnumbered, overpowered, and running out of time, Princess Twilight Sparkle comes up with one last, desperate, insane idea to save Equestria:

She recruits heroes that exist in comic books to fight for Harmony.

On hiatus.

Long ago, Commander Hurricane set an example that still resonates with all pegasi who fall in love with their ground bound kin. Every pegasus knows the story, the tradition is deeply engrained and held dear to their hearts.

Now, if only Twilight could curb her curiosity long enough to enjoy and appreciate just how important she is to Rainbow.

Jason's life has grown dull. While some may have thought that the weekly monster attacks might have kept him on his toes, he had grown to learn that as the norm around town. Now, after months of living in Ponyville, he can't shake the feeling that there is a void in his life. He follows his usual routine every day: breakfast, a quick shower, followed by a quick walk to the park to read the newspaper. One morning, he finds two parents playing with their filly in the playground. As he watches, an idea sparks within his mind: why not adopt a pony of his own?

Famous retired cello player Octavia Melody is now a teacher at the Canterlot Institute of Music. Respected by her peers and students, she loves her job of teaching students classical music. However, there is one thing she loves more: her student and marefriend, twenty-one year old Sweetie Belle.

Because of their relationship as student and teacher, the two must keep their love a secret. However, while Octavia is comfortable with this, Sweetie Belle wants to take her marefriend out on a date. Is it worth the risk though?

Aged up Sweetie Belle. Not Foalcon.

Twilight Sparkle, the protégé of Princess Celestia, visits Canterlot. She does not go to visit her mentor however, but rather to entertain herself with her secret obsession. Classical music.

A certain mare in the orchestra catches her eye, and has held it for a very long time. Today, she decides to meet her. For better or for worse.

A huge thank you to Auramane for the initial pre-reading, editing, pre-reading the improved chapter version, and still being an awesome person!

Most editing and help with dialogue was done by SubShock. Thanks pal!

There are not many things that Rainbow Dash can't withstand. She can take on dragons and monsters all day long, but when it comes to the bitter cold she has met her match. In search of shelter from the cold, she ends up spending the night at the Apple's. But with Granny and Bloom in Appleosssa, and Applejack going to Manehatten in attempt to sell some apple goods, she ends up all alone with Big Mac.

What could possibly go wrong?
