Love is felt in many different ways. Twilight loves her friends as friends; she would put her life on the line for any of them at the drop of a hat, and often does. She loves her family, and would go to whatever length needed to protect them and, if needed, help them in any way. She has loved as a lover, felt the tug of her heart for another pony, and the wish to always be in their embrace, never missing their body or voice. She has always kept these feelings separate.

When her dear friend, and undoubtedly family member Princess Celestia suffers an injury, she asks Twilight for help, and of course, Twilight is more than willing to assist in any way she can... at least, that's what she wants to tell herself. When the task at hoof requires loving a friend as a lover, things can get a little complicated.

Takes place some years after season 8.

As Celestia can attest, nothing is ever simple. A stallion may walk through a portal in a huff and everycreature may cheer his departure, but that doesn't make him any less of an important functionary in the greater scheme of things. And so, while the Princess of Friendship can handle the straightforward task of averting world war, Celestia must shoulder a heavier burden.

She has to convince a bureaucrat that he made a mistake.

This story is a sequel to Flounce!

Flash Sentry doesn't know when Pinkie Pie became his best friend, but nothing is ever certain whenever she's around. The only thing he can expect is that her company is always a bright spot in a dull world, and that might be enough for him.

A spiritual sequel to Flounce!, and commissioned by ShortSkirtsandExplosions

With the defeat of the sirens and her subsequent acceptance at school, Sunset Shimmer had thought her life had made a turn for the better.

She thought it would be easy to simply forget the Dazzlings.

However, a run-in with Sonata Dusk brings in another perspective on the whole Battle of the Bands episode, one Sunset had never really stopped to contemplate.

After all, it takes one monster to understand another...
Right?

Sonata Dusk loves the arcade, though not everyone she knows shares her enthusiasm. But, whether it be rhythm games or cute boys, the arcade has something for everyone. Even Adagio Dazzle.

WARNING: Major character death. If you are not fine with that, please turn away, now.

I will do anything to fix my mistakes.

No pony will miss me when I'm gone.

But even if I leave, I will not let the Princess Of Friendship follow me.

She deserves so much better.

The last scene was inspired by this song. Other song lyrics are purely made up, anything similar to a real song is purely by coincidence.

Flash Sentry's world sucks. Maybe it's high time he left it.

(Indeed)

“On the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid in her escape.”

Celestia was prepared to face Nightmare Moon in battle.

What she wasn't prepared for was to face her in a hospital bed.

Caution: Story may contain cheese, overly dramatic moments, and a happy ending despite the 'sad' tag.

Still reeling from their defeat at the Battle of the Bands, Adagio Dazzle, Sonata Dusk, and Aria Blaze are recruited by Abacus Cinch as her own magical ringers to use against Canterlot High in exchange for a chance to reclaim their lost magic.

But life at Crystal Prep isn't all sunshine and rainbows for the three newest Shadowbolts. Faced with looming deadlines, hostile classmates, and a crumbling partnership with her fellow Sirens, Adagio finds solace with a most unexpected ally.

But when Equestrian magic is on the line, will she follow her heart? Or will her she learn that old habits die hard?

Sirens don't make friends, after all, and they certainly don't fall in love.

When you've lived as long as Granny Smith, you've got a right to be set in your ways.

Pear Butter's not gonna accept that.
