This story is a sequel to My Little Pony: Friendship is Overpowered (Season 1)

That was easy!

Join Twilight Sparkle and her friends as they easily defeat every challenge thrown at them with their awesome friendship powers.

Expect new chapters daily.

Every night, shunned and on her own, Luna watches the moon. Little more than a cold silhouette to the mortal lives on the ground below, she watches over Equestria in her own way. Despite her misery, she will not give up her post.

Rated "Teen" for suicidal themes.

Written for the Weekly Contests Prompt #10, though the idea had come a while before that. Original cover art by LethalAuroraMage. All credits go to her.

Unfortunately, since I deleted the old story, all comments were deleted. I apologize for the inconvenience, and I hope I won't discover that I need to rewrite the whole thing again. There were parts that were left alone, but a lot of changes were made.

This story is a sequel to A Guard and a Princess

Evil creatures raising from the underworld, a national sports event, an entire other dimension—what will cause the newly-married Twilight Sparkle and Flash Sentry to be apart next? Well, now that they are reunited after Princess Twilight received her new castle and role, hopefully nothing.

This story is the sequel to A Guard and a Princess. It is written in third-person, and occasionally includes the footnote style of The Celestia Code, a story that I would highly recommend if you like Twilight Sparkle. It also takes place after season 4 and Rainbow Rocks, with a little bit of a timeline mix up that you all will surely ignore because you are awesome people. It does contain minor Rainbow Rocks spoilers.

Second Story: A Prince and a Princess.

I am currently rewriting this story. Thank you to to spideremblembrony for pointing out the problems with it.

Shattered Shadow is a skilled racer, but even she has difficulties adjusting to a new teammate. This is why she is so thrilled when she and her partner win their first race together... or, rather, why she should be thrilled.

This story is dedicated to my retired horse Dolly.

Rated teen for implied suicide.

If you dislike something about this story, please tell me so that I can fix it. All constructive criticism is welcome, and feel free to comment and say whatever you thought about this.

Cover art does not belong to me. SagebrushPony on Deviant Art drew it.

Twilight looked over to her dear mentor, Princess Celestia, and found she had once again fallen asleep mid-lesson. Her intense debate on awakening the princess was cut short when the decision was taken out of her hooves.

“Huh? Oh. Twilight, I am so sorry for falling asleep again. I think we need to reschedule this for tomorrow morning.”

Twilight nodded. After all, Princess Celestia was obviously overworked. If only there was something she could do to help.

When Twilight Sparkle slipped beneath the covers last night, everything had been fine. She had friends whom she loved, a teacher she adored, and a bright future ahead of her. But when she woke up, her blankets and quilts had been replaced by hospital gowns and padded restraints.

Everything is wrong and nothing makes sense; even her friends have changed. The doctors keep telling her that she is sick, that none of it was real and that it was all in her head. Yet she remembers a life far beyond the hospital walls. She couldn't have made it all up on her own. They must be lying… right?

BOOK 1

How is one to react to one's world being changed? How should one react to losing what one holds dear? How do we cope? How do we move on?

Maybe we don't. Maybe we are meant to stay in our grief, and mourn for what was, and what never will be. Maybe we aren't meant to rise up, but to fall down.

What do we do? We stop. We don't try. We don't think. We grieve. We mourn. We break. We apologize. We cry.

We are so sorry...

Yet we have no control.

For best effect, listen to this while reading. If it stops while you are still reading, play it again. It really helps add to the emotions.

This is the first installment of my Heaven's Tears series.

A few years have passed since Princess Luna was purged of the evil known as Nightmare Moon by the Elements of Harmony. She took back her rightful place on the throne of Equestria at her sisters side.
On a sunny day, a couple of seemingly mundane events trigger memories long forgotten. Memories of a secret Luna hast kept to herself for far too long. Facing Celestia won't be easy. But she has no choice. It is her duty to care for her subjects, and she has to retake the responsibility she could not fulfill while banished to the moon.

In terms of full disclosure, the story got a review by TheifofZ.

What has happened since her disappearance? What will she find? A joyful reunion or devastation? What happened to her Children of the Night?

Inspired by Children of the Night. Cover art is a screenshot from the video. I do not know if there is an "official" story for the Children of the Night and I do not claim mine to be "canon" in the context of the video. These are just my thoughts on what might have happened back in the days.

This story takes place right before the season 4 finale.

Princess Celestia has been alive for 1499 years. For centuries, she has kept her birthday a secret from the masses of Equestria. Only a select few know the actual day. As such, Celestia hasn't had a birthday party in well over eight hundred years, and she's quite alright with that.

However, the return of three prominent figures in her's and Luna's life, might just be able to break that streak.

Rated Teen: Strong Language
Co-written with the fantastic Way2Dawn.

Queen Chrysalis has only one grub that has survived into fillyhood; her daughter, the physically lame and mentally impaired Crown Princess Pupa. Chrysalis has never been what many would call the 'maternal type', even towards Pupa, whose adoration of her mother has no bounds. Preferring to swamp herself in the dire affairs of state, Chrysalis lets her crippled daughter be raised by her affectionate nanny.

But one day, as the Changeling Kingdom's problems reach boiling point, the Queen's already short temper erupts and she must deal with the heartbreaking consequences...
