Princess Luna, as Twilight has discovered has a rather curious habit. She likes to take long walks in the rain, and to be honest? Twilight isn't really sure she minds such a thing. Rain, as it turns out, is calming and a perfect way to ruminate on many matters...

(Originally done for Level Dasher for Jinglemas 2019)

Princess Twilight Sparkle decided to settle down by asking her true love to marry her and "he" accepted her proposal. It's a great moment in the young Alicorn's life, and her friends are elated at their friend's news.

Except for one of them.

Discord, the Lord of Chaos, can't believe what's happening, and tries to talk some sense into the ponies. Too bad nopony will listen to him. Why is Discord trying to talk Twilight out of marrying her true love?

Her "true love" is a book! Yes, B-O-O-K, book!

This story takes place late in season 5.

After Twilight said Cadence was evil, everypony rejected her warnings. Twilight feels sad and betrayed. Sad that especially Spike, Shining Armor and her mentor had avoided her, and betrayed that her friends had told her that they would take what Twilight would tell them seriously after the Lesson Zero events. Twilight just didn't expect Nightmare to come keep her company.

Rainbow Dash too cool for stamp collecting, or reading super-nerdy science books about the "Solar System" or "Outer Space", or even for thinking properly half the time. She was also definitely too cool for cuddling.

Right?

TwiDash fluffiness and cuddles. Rated C for "cuddles".

Twilight decides that it would be a good idea to give Luna some company with stargazing. But things don't go quite as planned.

(Implied) TwiLuna fluffiness. Snuggles and maybe even some smooches inbound!

Twilight learns what comes after life ends.

Twilight Sparkle has a crush on Rainbow Dash, yet - in typical Twilight fashion - is unsure how to go about expressing her true feelings.

So when Dash tells her that she needs to talk to her about 'something important,' Twilight thinks that the pegasus may be hiding the same feelings as she is. She eagerly tells her to come to the castle later that evening, then rushes home to prepare a romantic evening for the two of them.

Could this be the start of a new relationship?

Since the day she ascended, Dragon Lord Ember has strived to move beyond the shadow of her father's rule. She's pursued some strange things to achieve this, perhaps none more strange than forging a close friendship with Twilight Sparkle, now ruler of Equestria. They've exchanged hundreds of letters over the years, growing closer and more familiar to each other with every one.

Ember knows her feelings for Twilight have changed, but the distance between them had provided an easy excuse to ignore them. Had, because with a summit between the Dragon Lands and Equestria starting, Ember and Twilight have the opportunity to once again enjoy each other's company.

And Ember is not the only one trying to come to terms with her feelings.

Twilight loves Rainbow and plans to confess to her; however, she is harshly rejected. When the Princess of Friendship's love make her catch a terrible disease, it's up to Rainbow Dash to save her from dying from a broken heart!

No matter what anyone else says, Sweetie Belle knows that whatever that is in the mirror isn't her. That doesn't mean she can do anything about it.
