All Twilight Sparkle wanted was a nice teatime with Starswirl, her idol. And then Trixie Lulamoon had to show up, cast a spell, and rip yet another hole in space-time.

This is becoming distressingly common...

Part of the Anarchyverse.

Now has a reading by the Poniverse channel. Super-special thanks for doing me such a kindness!

Now has a Russian translation by GrandCat!

There is a secret in Equestria. A secret the newly crowned Princess Twilight Sparkle doesn’t dare to believe. Like puppeteers pulling on marionettes, they have influenced Equestria for better and worse since the fall of Discord. So far they have been benevolent, but their potential for evil is vast. What’s worse, she doesn’t know their name. She doesn’t know their mission. All she knows for certain is one thing.

That they all seem to be zebra.

Princess Luna is in Ponyville once more for Nightmare Night.

Somepony else is not.

It's a problem Luna wishes she could solve.

An entry for Imposing Sovereigns III.

After bumping into a rude pony from flight school, Rainbow tells a rather large lie to save face.

Shouldn't have did that, Dashie.

A two part story.

Princess Twilight Sparkle has been losing her mind. She lives plagued by nightmares and hallucinations.

Discovering she's not alone, Twilight realizes Equestria may be in great danger. She seeks counsel with Princess Luna to discover the truth about her nightmares. However, Luna warns Twilight the knowledge she seeks will come at great personal cost.

Twilight Sparkle would give up anything to save Equestria, but how much will she sacrifice just to learn the truth?

Special thanks to Bradel for his editing advice.

Pipp flies away from home after an especially nasty fight with Zipp and her mom. Hitch is there to comfort her.

Rarity doesn't see anything wrong with dreaming of things that will never happen. Especially not when they involve the friend she harbors secret feelings for.

Princess Luna knows better.

A chance to speak with those who are long gone is something that's hard to pass up. Sunny imagines what she could learn from the ponies of the past, what she could learn about the fate of ancient Equestria. Maybe she could even talk to her dad again.

Is that chance worth the risk of using magic she doesn't understand?

Twilight asks Rarity an important question: Will she stay the night?

Her answer is almost always the same. Maybe that's why Twilight keeps asking.
