Celestia's personal student has a rather strange ability; at least once a week, she dreams of a quiet, somber wood. It has always been a peaceful place for her, a sleeping sanctuary for peace and reflection. Under this moon, however, the peace will be broken, for on this night something else stalks the silent trees with her, and it has a message that only she can deliver.

Edit: Winning Entry of Contest 2: The Sequel in the Nightmare Moon is the Best Pony group!

Nightmare Moon won. She defeated Celestia, broke the Elements, banished the sun. This all happened a very long time ago. So long ago, that she has had plenty of time to change her mind.

Of course, fixing our mistakes is never so simple, and never without consequences. Even with particularly potent help.

This story is a sequel to If You Came to Conquer

Princess Nightmare Moon had tried to keep it secret. She had suppressed her power, feigned ignorance, played the outdated fool at every opportunity. She should have known that something like this would happen. A threat that would reveal her, whether she played dumb or not.

If she had to reveal herself, then at least she could protect Equestria in the process. She nocked the arrow. The bow felt so flimsy, but she could not risk him absorbing a spell. She laced magic across the arrow and the string and the air, enough to make it fly faster and aim smoother. She sighted him easily; Tirek was a large target. Now he only had to turn around. An arrow to the spine would kill him simply and instantly, no matter how much magic he had absorbed.

Once he was dead, the hard part would come: explaining herself to Celestia.

Princess Luna and Derpy Hooves are best of friends and share a love of gaming. They play, they own, and they dominate in the online gaming world. They're just freakin' awesome alright? Gaming is what brought these two together as friends but as time goes on (and Princess Celestia's antics) will this love of gaming bring them something more than they expected? Will they become More than Gamers?

Wrote this while I was blasted and drunk so if you hate it... I don't blame you at all. It's going to be a chapter fic so yeah, deal with it.

Based off the Ask Princess Molestia tumblr but a bit more tame... I think?

Rated T for alcohol, minor language, and a whole lot of sexual themes and what not. C'mon, if it's based off a Princess Molestia tumblr and you really don't expect sexual shit, then you need to be sent to the moon.

This story is a sequel to Written in the Stars

Rarity has been dating Luna for some time, although it hasn’t yet become common knowledge.

As the couple look forward to their first formal engagement together, Rarity is getting nervous, but this is not destined to be the biggest problem she has to face …

This story is a sequel to Written in the Stars

In the early days of the two Princesses, Luna liked to party, but when she met Peach Blossom her world changed forever.  One thousand years later, an old oil painting of her is still Luna’s most treasured possession.  She would forever be her first true love.

I should like to direct readers to the wonderful fan animation “Fall of the Crystal Empire” from Silly Filly Studios.  This was inspirational to me in developing the conclusion to my story and I wanted to copy the excellent dialogue from this animation, but had to change it just in case I fell foul of their copyright.  If you’re not familiar with the piece, please visit and give them a like.  They have also produced other really excellent animations such as “Snowdrop” and “Daylight’s End”.

Love can strike when you least expect.
Sometimes it’s just when you see an old friend in a new light.
This is what happened to Princess Luna and Rarity, both of whom admired each other, but never in a romantic way.
All that was destined to change.
It was written in the stars.
Luna x Rarity

This can be read as a stand-alone story or continued to its sequel Luna's First True Love, when we find out about the mysterious pink unicorn in Luna's precious oil painting.

There is another sequel, A Hearth's Warming to Remember, that follows Luna and Rarity to their first Hearth's Warming together.

Equestria has suffered through it's first war in over a thousand years. The ponies overcame Chrysalis and her changeling swarm, but only through a desperate alliance with communist Stalliongrad. Now, with a fragile peace under looming threats, the ponies of Equestria call into question the leadership of the alicorn sisters. Celestia has a difficult decision before her. What will she do?

Based on the Hearts of Iron IV mod, Equestria at War. All characters mentioned are from the show or the mod.
Also for a Equestria at War contest.

CelestAI deals with a mischievous intruder in Equestria.
