For 1,200 years, on the first full moon after the harvest, Celestia has made the journey to the stone circle in the woods, raised in the memory of the Old Gods. Tonight will be no exception.

Inspired by some recent discussions on Reddit about which IRL religions the various ponies would follow. It struck me that Celestia, as old as she is, was probably a hardcore OG pagan in her youth--and likely still was, even if she had to keep that fact secret.

Cadance. Luna. Celestia. Flurry. Words which, across the whole of a planet, ultimately indicate but a single pony. Tradition solidifies into something stronger than mere law, guarantees that no newborn foals will be granted those names -- but that is something which happens after ascension.

On this night, the final two Twilights in all the world will meet. For the first and only time.

Now with author Patreon, SubscribeStar, and Ko-Fi pages.

Decades after the last Friendship Report arrived, a burst of green dragon flame ignited the darkness in Princess Celestia's room.

Although the contents of the letter remain unknown to the public, it's been noted by servants of the Crown, that the Princess abruptly cancelled all of her visits for the day and wasn't seen until the next one.

When questioned, Her Highness simply gave the audience a bittersweet smile before explaining that she was paying respects to an old friend.

A short-story that diverges at Magical Mystery Cure.

It's been a thousand years since Twilight Sparkle left Ponyville to rule over Equestria. A thousand years of progress, guided by determination and her gentle hoof.

It's as good a time as any to disappear for a while.

In a quiet corner of a nondescript pocket dimension, somewhere adjacent (and slightly to the left) of an unfathomable writhing tempest of antimatter, between an Ikea and the caged spirit of Asmodeus, exists a draconequus. He has thoughts he needs to put down onto paper, some strongly worded thoughts for an irksome purple princess.
