Twilight Sparkle accomplished something incredible, something not even the great Starswirl could manage. But ascension into the ranks of Equestria's princesses is not without its difficulties. Before she can take her place as princess of Friendship, Twilight must travel to the underworld and make a ceremonial offering to Death in exchange for her immortality. Twilight is more than a little surprised to discover the identity of the pony under the hood.

After years living in Ponyville and getting to know her friends, Twilight always assumed they were exactly what they seemed: a group of friendly and ambitious ponies. But as it turns out, the sort of pony who saves Equestria and decodes the ancient mysteries of Starswirl is likely to attract ponies a tad more interesting.

This story is a sequel to Aunthood Issues

Pop-cultural investigative reporter Coranto has heard some pretty out-there excuses for rumors. Some were even true. But when castle gossip says Luna has had a baby, and she claims she's created an entity to patrol dreams called the Tantabus, Coranto knows she's smelling a load of hogwash. The idea is absurd. Patently. Never one to let the truth hide, Coranto decides she will get to the bottom of these rumors, and nothing will dissuade her. Not anything Luna says. Not even the Tantabus itself taking an interest in her crusade.

...Wait...

This story is a sequel to Tantabus, Mk. II

The new and improved Tantabus has behaved itself thus far, but Luna has delayed telling Celestia about it. Until one night when it jumps into Celestia's dreams to say hi and inadvertently reveals itself. Luna must now introduce Celestia to her little bundle of self-aware psychic dream energy sooner than she imagined.

Many years ago, shortly before the birth of one Twilight Sparkle, Celestia, ruler of Equestria, found a small item in a forest. That item? An egg. Around the same time, in another place, Celestia, ruler of Draconica found something small in a forest. That thing? A pony.

Five thousand years after leaving her planet, the Alicorn Twilight Sparkle travels the depths of space on personal quest. But she soon finds that this mission is one that she can not accomplish on her own.

Twice before, Astral Plane has run afoul of powerful beings known as Celestials. When it happens a third time, he finds himself dragged into one mare's search for answers, and her friends.

Now on a hunt for targets spread throughout the galaxy, he must find ways to survive unexpected dangers, lead a group that grows crazier with every passing day, and learn to live and work beside the embodiment of everything he despises.

From the Author of the slightly Popular Fic "My Little Dragon," comes a Brand-New, Action-Packed, Science-Fiction Adventure. Tags will be changing as the story grows, and the cast and tone shift and change. Where will it all end up? Read it and see!

Vice-Principal Luna recycled her old metal rock band outfit for this year's Costume Carnival... an outfit that gives her a passing resemblance to another world's Nightmare Moon.

Then, when she leans against the wrong mirror, that resemblance becomes more than passing.

Just more magical shenanigans at Canterlot High.

This story is a sequel to What the Future May Hold

In the depths of Tartarus, Starshine has worked hard, diligently helping those trapped understand what they did, why they were there and how to find the Path of Harmony once again. One by one the cages were opened and the fiends within sent home to the Otherside. Her work is almost done.

Almost, because five very special creatures remain. The Lost Causes. Tirek, Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, Sombra, the Storm King. When even Faust herself tells Starshine there is no way to redeem such souls, the Princess of Redemption makes a choice and undergoes a massive transformation. Her greatest task is now before her; redeeming the Lost Causes. To do so, she will become what Equestrians fear the most.

EDIT: 5/18/19 This story was created before season 9 was announced. Sorry, but Grogar did not exist in gen 4 at the time. He will not be in this Book.

Now join their descendants in 6 individual storytimes with Luna and Celestia as the descendants discover who their ancestors are, what they stood for and how they too have a destiny.

Along the way, Celestia and Luna must confront their past as well. Will they improve themselves by accepting the truth or will they succumb to their own despair?

Can they finally stop grieving and see the light as they face the shadows of their own fears and regrets? With everyone else living in perfect harmony and balance...can the alicorn princesses finally move on?

As Celestia and Luna learn lessons from beyond, questions arise. Why are the mane seven reappearing? Aren't these ponies part of the ethereal? If they no longer walk among those of Equestria, how is it they are being seen and even talked to? More importantly how does Celestia's Daughter, Starshine tie into all this? Is she responsible or could it be something else is at work here?
