Argyle Starshine and Caela Fullbright live in Maretime Bay in a big lighthouse near the edge of town. It's been passed down on Argyle's side of the family for generations.

The couple are expecting a foal soon. On a night during a full moon, they have a conversation about the past, the present... and what the future might hold.

Zipp hates her life. She's living a lie. Queen Haven keeps saying that only the royals can fly, when in reality they can't. You'd be surprised what some wires and good lighting will do.

She would do anything to really fly. Well, almost anything. But sadly, it never clicks. She hates it. She hates the way her mother forces the lie upon her, she hates how her sister doesn't care in the slightest, preferring to focus on social media which just sucks in general because ponies on there are all telling lies and acting like something they aren't, she hates it all. Sometimes she wonders if she was born at a very wrong time, born into a place of lies instead of truth.

Though, there is one thing. One thing that keeps her going, that keeps her sane, that keeps her from ending it all. A thing that is in no way a lie. A hobby that requires genuine skill, one that pushes adrenaline through you, and makes you feel like you are about to fly.

And that hobby involves only her, a mountain pass, and a

Magic has returned to Equestria and all is well. As the royal sisters were about to return to Zephyr Heights, they suddenly remember that they are "phony ponies full of baloney".

At least the prison is nice.

Ponykind reunited, new avenues opened, and a brighter future set to rise upon an eager world. That is what was left after the curtains drew over their fantastical adventure. But for Pipp and Hitch, the calm brought a new opportunity: Love.

A love both perhaps are willing to reciprocate... Until Pipp Petals learns 'reciprocating' is something sheriffs don't do.

"What's the one thing--the one thing--I told you not to do while I was away."

"Try to start a war."

"And what did you do?"

"...try to start a war."

Twilight knows she’s going to outlive her friends. She also knows the transition isn’t going to be a pleasant one. But it has to be made and Pinkie Pie is just the pony to help her do it.

Carrot or Stick either way, Hitch is in for a hare rising experience.

Hitch gets napped by a bundle of bunnies that think he is some kind of God/Deity, and he has no idea how he is gonna to convince them otherwise.

Spike's seen his fair share of the world. It'd truly felt like each passing year had taken with it a little more of Twilight's sanity, until all that was left was a husk of the mare-turned-alicorn.

Twilight, in the end, couldn't comprehend the life of an immortal.

Couldn't fathom the idea of living for thousands of years.

But Spike can.

Because Spike has.

And it's destroying him.

Sequel: Left Behind: Sunny Disposition
Apparently it was scouted and is on EqD too

Nightmare Moon was meant to be released after a thousand years. A momentous occasion for her but terrifying for all the ponies on her day of freedom. She would get revenge on her sister and cover the world in darkness and shape everything to fit it.

That was the plan, at least. Instead, something went awry with the spell and she wasn't released when she was supposed to be. The mare-in-the-moon is brought into a world with stagnated technology, giant cities, and no sign of her sister or any of the other immortals. In fact, ponies don't seem terrified of her at all, and the stay within the core of her powers infused and changed the alicorn's body drastically.

The alicorn had no obstacles left! But...she was also a relic of the past. A past everyone seemed to have forgotten. A past she could no longer look upon.
