Princess. Alicorn. The pillar of all ponykind, against which so many ponies often judged themselves. Celestia hates having to constantly be these things, and it's past time for a break. Luna will watch over Equestria while her sister is gone, but taking a break from your duties and taking a break from how the world sees you are two very different matters. Enter Prominence, a quiet pony who nopony really pays much mind to. Perhaps because she doesn't exist.

Aided by this disguise, Celestia will find her peace and relaxation in the home of one of the few ponies who know Prominence's true identity: Princess Twilight Sparkle. But when Twilight begins to see Celestia as a pony, and not a princess, can she deal with the feelings that arise? And are the feelings for Celestia, or for a pony she knows is not actually real?

EDIT: I've been featured, July 19th, 2014. I have no words to express how terrified and humbled and terrified and proud and happy and terrified this makes me.

Twilight Sparkle is tired of this nonsense.

Every day, a slew of articles all focused on the minute details of her life invade her beloved newspapers. "Twilight Sparkle Eats Peaches." "Twilight Sparkle Hates Tea." "Twilight Sparkle Uses a Microwave." "Twilight Sparkle Makes Toast." All of it clogging up her precious sources of information from cities across Equestria.

But no more. The time has come to put an end to it, once and for all.

Written with thanks to Marceline from the #FimFiction IRC and for no good reason other than it sounded funny in my head.

Death. When one is faced with the idea of it, it both terrifies and allures us. But in the case of one Grape Vine a corrupted lawyer who meets her end she meets death and has been chosen for some reason to take up the mantle of the grim reaper. See through the eyes and feelings of her as she deals with both her new job and what its means to be death.

Twilight Velvet tells her daughter a bedtime story.

I'm unsure if this counts as AU so I marked it just to be safe. Missing tag: Cute

After thousands of years of ruling over Equestria and the umpteen amount of changes in social structure over that time, Celestia and Luna discover that they do not understand their subjects as well as they used to. After all, it's been several millennia since they were like every other average pony.

However, that's about to change when an eavesdropping Discord comes up with a "brilliant" idea.

How will the lives of the two sisters change? Will the lives of their new personas "Color Craft" and "Lyrical Rhapsody" be better than their old ones? Will the friends they meet along the way be too good to leave? And most importantly, will Discord ever be pretty?! No, probably not.

After reading about Daring Do's failed attempt to secure an ancient artifact, Twilight and Rainbow Dash take it upon themselves to find it in her place. Unfortunately, not only do they find it, but by reading a passage from the book, Rainbow Dash accidentally unleashes a curse which causes everyone in Ponyville to speak in puns. This, of course, drives Twilight up the wall, especially since she's the only one who seems to notice.

A few days have passed since Tirek was defeated and Twilight was named the Princess of Friendship. Now with a huge burden of responsibility bestowed upon her, Twilight is depressed and unable to sleep. Getting up to assist Spike with his own issues, Twilight may find that she is the one in need of help.

Diets can drive anypony off the deep end, and Sweetie Belle is about to find that one out the hard way. Meanwhile, Spike is apparently handsome. Because.

Wrote this one on a whim. I hope it tanks so I can get rid of it.

New Laws. Something that rarely happens in Equestria. Not for the lack of needing them, there are plenty of issues that could be solved with the right kinds of laws in place, but for the simple fact that a lot of times they just don't work out as intended and get revoked. It can be a challenge to find the right kind of balance between a law, the rules of the law, the enforcement of it, and the punishment that comes with breaking it.

A challenge that Equestria's newest Princess, Twilight Sparkle, feels she is up to the task for.

Twilight has seen and heard about many issues, both in Ponyville and other parts of Equestria, that could be handled with the right kinds of laws in place. However, due to there having been several times in the past where new laws being passed have been less than ideal, she is going to be taking it slow. To do this, any new laws she passes will first be given a trial run in Ponyville to see how they work out before either letting them be applied to Equestria due to being successful or being dropped due to not working as intended.

A spell gone wrong, Twilight, Celestia and Luna have no answer how to get back home to the Equestria that they know.
Instead, they're stuck in a place where things are similar, yet so different.
They're stuck in what Equestria could have been.
And all they have is a book and their memories to help them.
