Princess Twilight Sparkle has recently returned from a diplomatic mission to Gryphonstone. While she has gone beyond the borders of Equestria many times in the past, this is her first official state visit as a princess.

As a way of celebrating her success Princess Celestia hosts a tea party, during which the other monarchs of Equestria share stories about diplomatic blunders. These include Cadance's bout with Saddle Arabian purity laws, Luna's near beheading, and Celestia's ordeal with limes.

Written for Aragon's Comedy (Is Serious Business) Contest under the prompt, we learned something political.

Sex tag is for sexual language/references and not actual sex, death tag is for mentions of death, and dark tag is because it does get a lil dark here and there.

Now with a Russian Translation!

Oh hey, this fic got featured on Episode 210 of Pony 411. That's kinda super cool.

"That said, Luna's story is hysterical, and there's some great sexual and relationship comedy in here. Worth it, on the whole." - PresentPerfect, Recommended for Laughs, Febuary 28th

"Is corruption inevitable?"

When Twilight poses this question, Luna has an instant response, but Celestia stays quiet.

The princesses discuss this over tea.

From father to son to grandson to great-grandson, on and on down through the centuries, Celestia has continually found love and comfort from a singular line of remarkable stallions. For a thousand years, she has been romanced and bedded by a succession of lovers from what may very well be the most charming, suave bloodline to ever exist.

Then Luna returned from the moon...

Give a big thanks to them.

Princess Luna is 7 months pregnant, and she's starting to feel it. She's constantly tired, and everything is suddenly a chore for her. She hates being so useless, but she knows that it'll all be worth it in the end. A typical day in the life of Equestria's Princess of the Night, now that she's expecting.

Prince Artemis and Prince Solaris call themselves brothers. But long before they were brothers they were many other things to each other. When Dusk Shine gets a chance to hear a little bit of their history, he is eager to discover more.

Enjoy a small romp through prehistory, almost Ancient Greece, not-quite Rome, and sort-of Byzantium. Props to the folks at r/badhistory for Byzantium in particular, without them I never would have thought to set the latter portions of the story there. Props also to my other half and occasional editor Jordanis, who let me throw a few ideas at him, and without whom I never would have linked Prince Artemis's banishment with the fall of the Holy Roman Empire.

P.S. Cover art is an oil painting by me!

Immortal Blood
What Comes Between Day and Night (NSFW)

The world spins, years pass, and everything comes to an end. Except Celestia. She sits on the shore of the last ocean, watching and waiting for her own chance at death. Because everything comes to an end if you wait long enough, and Celestia is patient indeed.

Thousands and thousands of years have passed since the return of Nightmare Moon. Not much of anything remains in the barren land of Equestria. On the hillside of a forgotten town, overlooking the dusk of sundown, lay two sisters holding the only thing that remains to them; each other.

This story is a sequel to The Moon Glows Gently

When you're the immortal ruler of an entire kingdom, the most important quality to possess is self-control. No princess can rule her nation if her emotions rule her. Celestia knows this better than anypony, and mastered them long ago.

So long ago, she may have forgotten that a little bit of passion can come in handy now and again.

We had never meant for it to happen. It was all just for fun, maybe a few laughs. It was just a game after all... just a game...
