Recently crowned Princess of Equestria Twilight Sparkle wakes up after a bender, and tries to piece together what happened.

Perhaps she should be Princess of Wine and Questionable Decision Making instead.

(Takes place immediately after "Luna Eclipsed", colab with yodajax10.) Another Nightmare Night has come and gone, and now Ponyville begins the process of cleaning up after it.

Spike offers to help out, but Twilight reassures him that they can handle things on their own. So, reluctantly, the baby dragon decides to spend a little time with Princess Luna, who has just come out of her shell.

But what can the two talk about? Quite a lot, actually. And both will come to realize, they have something in common.

Fair or not, most classes have that one perfect student, that one little flower that the teacher can't help but adore. Cheerilee's class is no different.

Thanks to Uma for critique and cover art.

The demon who once haunted her school may be no more, but the demon in her heart remains. Maybe the demon in the drawer of her desk will help.

It’s never easy to get along with one’s parents. It’s even harder when they gave you way and denied you your birthright. This is the story of Sunset Shimmer and how she fell out with and returned to speaking terms with her mother Princess Celestia of Equestria.

This happens between Rainbow Rocks and Friendship games. Human Twilight (Or Science Twilight, whichever you prefer) would have add a whole layer of awkward.
Annual 2013 “The Fall of Sunset Shimmer” is also cannon to this but I cover all you need to know to follow the story in the prolog.

We all know the story: Sunset Shimmer strove to gain power in Equestria, going so far as to act aggressive towards Princess Celestia herself before she wound up diving through the portal into the human world. But was that the complete story, or did Sunset keep some details hidden from her friends that Twilight only recently discovered?

Why, despite her nerves, does she want so much to see her old mentor again? Why did she still watch the sunset even though she said she hated her former mentor? And what is that tune that Celestia sings....

Like Rarity's Mane, this is simply just something short and sweet that I had gotten into my head a week ago, and just had to express in words rather than images. I hope this gives you all at least some enjoyment.

When Celestia calls Twilight and Spike to her personal quarters a normal study session is expected. But now that Spike has gotten a growth spurt. It seems like the Princess has new information to share about his magical abilities. Especially in regards to his dragon flame.

Celestia had a niece once, not an adopted niece like Cadance, an actual biological niece, the daughter of Princess Luna. Sadly when Luna became Nightmare Moon her daughter took her mothers side and led the their forces against Celestia.

Princess Twilight was killed during that battle, or so history tells us...

Spike, the lovable draconic assistant to Twilight Sparkle, was once her number one assistant and close friend. But after a fight, Twilight becomes fed up with Spike and decides to evict him from her home. Happy with wanting to see her fail, Spike leaves Twilight, hoping that she will come back begging for him.

This short story is set hours after the fight and into the evening, capturing the psychological trauma that Spike and Twilight will face. Each character is plagued with the memories of the other, and will soon come to realize, whether it be in a run-down motel room or the Ponyville Library, that their lives may have been changed forever.

I decided to write this differently than my other stories; I wanted to make it seem more choppy and confused to match the character's confusion. I hope you enjoy it.

While taking care of a bedridden Spike, Twilight comes to realize just what her Number One Assistant means to her.
