One of Luna's many duties is to act as a guide for the souls of the dead.

In their eyes, they see their final dream.

In her eyes, she sees beauty.

Second place in a Quills and Sofas speedwriting contest. The theme was: Luna Ascendant; the prompt was "A Final Dream". Special thanks to Shaslan for the wonderful cover art - I could not have asked for a better representation of my story.

CONTENT WARNINGS: Implied self-harm, implied suicide, death.

In which two kind care-taker ponies have some tea in the cold of an autumn evening, explore their own identities, with one shy and withdrawn, the other assertive and confrontational.

Exploring the relationship between the two gentle ponies with a 'dark side', something I've wanted to do more since Starlight's Five Scrolls diary chapters awhile ago.

Almost twenty years into her reign, Princess Twilight Sparkle encounters something truly miraculous, something she never thought she'd see again in all her years: A hole in her schedule.

Naturally, that's when Discord comes in to discuss the contents of his hairbrush.

Needless to say, spoilers for the finale. Ineligible entry in Imposing Sovereigns II, using the prompt "Twilight/The Old."

Discord always has this charisma, an overwhelming sense of confidence and bravado. Every pony, whether they like it or not, knows Discord has always been known to maintain an image... including his best friend, Fluttershy. But what happens when Discord is not around, when he’s in a place where his true pain is loose? That’s what Fluttershy hopes to understand. And that night, she herself seeks her own courage to approach her friend.

Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends have faced endless troubles while ruling Equestria. There's never been a challenge they could not conquer.

But the end of the world has come, and nopony can stop it.

Contains narrative that jumps ahead into the future, several original characters, a despondent princess, probably some crying, and the magic of friendship.

A huge thank you goes out to Semillon, who beta read this story and provided some invaluable critiques.

Luna's finally ready to get back out there into the world of Equestria, ready to see what's become of ponykind in the past thousand years. Except... she's not quite ready to go out on her own, amongst ponies that know only tales of nightmares and betrayal about her, and the one pony she knows personally is a little busy running a kingdom and raising the sun. When the offer for companionship comes from an unlikely place, Luna learns two great lessons. One, the risk to get to know a pony can lead to great rewards. Two, socks make everything better.

(Tagged AU due to conflicting information involving Starlight Glimmer as the mother of Luster Dawn.)

Luster Dawn has settled into life in Ponyville pretty easily and has even begun to make some friends. It helps that her mother is finally giving her space to be her own pony.

However, when Luster is told she'll have to give a progress report, she finds out it'll fall on the same day Queen Twilight is coming to Ponyville to celebrate an important anniversary: The first encounter with her friends.

Will Luster be able to get everything together in time for Twilight's arrival? And what will Starlight Glimmer have to say about her own daughter's decisions?

Telling Discord to 'find more friends' is asking for trouble.
