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.

Sun comes down, Moon goes up. Moon is lowered, Sun is raised. Ever since Discord was originally defeated, that has been the pattern, the heart of stability for life in Equestria, a celestial sign that ponies retain the helm.

But Luna remembers what life was like before, and the shards of beauty which could be found in chaos.

With the second anniversary of the Return approaching along with the associated holiday, Celestia wants to know if there's anything Luna would like to do in marking the occasion. And all Luna wants -- is an eclipse.

Other than Celestia and Luna, nopony has seen an eclipse in more than a thousand years.

This could be a problem.

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.

Hearth's Warming Eve is supposed to be a happy event—Cadance knows this, but all she ever feels is lonely. Now, with Shining Armor gone and a freak snowstorm battering her kingdom, it's up to Cadance to salvage the holiday and teach her crystal ponies to care for one another.

A story about finding your family, on the coldest night of the year.

An insane and illogical parody of your favorite ponies.

Are you looking for a story about the magic of friendship or how great it is to be alive? Too bad! What you're getting is a story about a bitter bookworm named Twilight Sparkle who just got booted out of Canterlot and is forced to go to a little backwater town named Ponyville in order to get some sort of social life.

Will she enjoy it? No. Not at all.

Rated Teen for strong language, cartoonish violence, immature humor, and god-awful jokes.
Sex tag is for repeated mentions of sex, sexual activities, and Rainbow Dash. Just...Rainbow Dash in general.
