This story follows Biography of a Tyrant, but it can also stand alone nicely.

But only as the smoke clears does she fully realize what has just transpired.

Now, she also stands upon the precipice.

The choice is hers.

This story follows Exiles, but it can also stand alone nicely.

Years after Discord’s overthrow, the world is settling into what will one day become kingdoms. But despite the relative calm of this new age, Luna knows something has been troubling her older sister deeply.

But what it might be, she cannot guess.

And what her solution is, Celestia cannot imagine.

It’s in a box. No peeking.

Every generation the bravest breezies leave their home and travel through a much more hazardous and hostile world, all for the sake of pollen. How could a bunch of yellow dust possibly be worth it?

The answer is a story that every breezie should know. One that Seabreeze teaches his daughter the night before he leaves for Equestria.

Winner of the World-Building Association's April 2015 writing contest. Prompt: "Fairy Tale."

Princess Celestia wants Princess Cadence to go on a diplomatic mission to Somnambula, a small desert town outside of Equestria’s borders. After she arrives, she somehow manages to get herself kidnapped again. This time, by a really big kitty who calls herself “The Sphinx.”

"Why am I always the one who gets kidnapped?"

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.

~~~You asked, you receive. Bonus chapter up~~~

Twilight has successfully created fake government jobs to help her terminally broke friends be less, uh, terminally broke. All they have to do is pass a simple little background check, just an easy little formality really. Should be no problem for these national heroes, right?

Right?

Well....

This story is a sequel to The Ending of the Beginning

The moments of our lives are fickle things. We never really know what moments we'll remember years down the road, and we surely have no idea how significant some moments can be until they're already long past.

For three former villains, a great number of moments occurred between their fateful meeting with the former Princesses of Equestria and their ultimate revenge on two callous ponies from Manehatten. Some moments were tiny, still others enormous, but there was one thing they all had in common; for this odd little family, they meant the world.

Step back and peer through the window at these moments, these scenes, in the lives of three creatures who united to destroy, but were bonded together forever by love.
