Celestia is happy. Thanks to Starlight Glimmer, she and Luna are closer than they have been in ages! They are eating breakfast together, talking more, and even helping each other out with court tasks. In short, everything is going great for Celestia.

If only those intrusive thoughts would go away...

Written for the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Artistic Interpretations Contest, where we chose an artpiece by Yakovlev-vad to write a story about. Let's see if you can guess which one I chose ;P

Many thanks to everyone in the server who read and commented, you guys really helped the story become the awesome thing it is now!

Using the time travel spell, she decides to travel to alternate timelines to find out what the life of the ponies in the alternate timeline is like. Twilight Sparkle arrives in alternative timeline that leaves her quite surprised. Luna is the ruler of Equestria and not Celestia. Sunset Shimmer is the Princess Luna student. After this shock, she explores this different Equestria and tries to accept this alternate timeline and return home and tell Spike.

Nothing bonds ponies quite like a crisis. When Sombra has seemingly succeeded in taking over Equestria, Mrs. Shy takes refuge with Twilight Velvet as the two of them pray for the safety of their children.

Death and suicide/self harm tags are used only because they are themes in the story. No actual death or suicide/self harm occurs.

"Before you were conceived...
I wanted you.
Before you were born...
I loved you.
Before you were here for an hour...
I would die for you.
This is the miracle of love."

The road to Rainbow Dash's birth was paved with hardship and loss. But in the end, Windy Whistles was grateful for every moment, because it led her to the biggest miracle of her life.

Inspired by the song "Bless The Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts.

This story is a sequel to Sleep

The battle was ended. Celestia had defeated Nightmare Moon by sealing her sister in the moon for a thousand years.

Not long after the end of the battle, Celestia desires to be alone. She dismisses her court, promising to them that she would return.

Three days pass. Celestia doesn't come back quite yet.

This is the third story in a project I'm doing with my good friend Regidar, in which we switch several aspects of our writing styles and see how we operate within one another's boundaries.

Until one night, she is reminded that she is not as alone as she thinks.
And that someone out there still loves her...

Unsettling dreams are starting to worry Princess Luna. She is positive these dreams hold an ominous portent for all of Equestria, but there is only one stallion who knows for certain the answers she seeks. King Sombra has been imprisoned again in Shadow since his defeat and the shattering of his body, but he is no less cunning and ruthless. And as Luna tries to interrogate him over time, she finds there is a softer side to the unicorn king, one nopony has seen before. But Celestia fears for her younger sister, warning Luna against Sombra's advances. Is the once-tyrant truly starting to court Princess Luna...or is she simply being used as a pawn in his plans to regain power?
