Twilight wonders if it was a good idea to take in the strange "human" creature that stumbled into her life the other day.

Celestia has something to show her.

The RunicTreetops 100th fic special!

Twilight Sparkle wakes up one day to find her marefriend, Tempest Shadow, has gone out of her way to make sure Twilight has the perfect day. However, Twilight has a nagging feeling there’s a reason for the favors, and she’s determined to figure out what it is.

You and Twilight have been best friends for the longest time. It was surprising, considering that a literal Princess would ever consider you, the social outcast that you are, a friend. But for that, you were grateful. And you have never been happier than when you were with her, and vice versa.

One afternoon, Twilight approaches you looking all nervous and flustered. Naturally, as her best friend, you want to help in any way you can.

This story is a sequel to Hypothetically

In theory, you and Twilight didn't make sense. A strong, intelligent, and wise mare like her paired with an awkward, dorky, and eccentric human like you... It was almost too good to be true, and yet it was. You and Twilight were the best of friends, until you found out about a week ago that she had romantic feelings for you.

Would it even work out? Could things between you two really escalate into something... more?

(Rated Teen for mild sexual innuendo.)

Nightmare Moon was victorious, and Equestria now belongs to her. Her rule is absolute. Those that question her face severe consequences. Those that don't have adjusted to the new regime.

However, despite her power and authority, Nightmare Moon is not infallible. No matter how determined one might be, ruling a nation is hard. Sometimes, she just needs to lie down and breathe. Some cuddles would be nice, too.

Thankfully, you're more than ready to help with that.

Mayor Mare has been living in Ponyville for quite some time. Not as long as she'd have you believe, mind you, but a long time all the same. During this period, she had dreams and aspirations, and as far as she's concerned, she accomplished each and every one. But what do you do when you've already achieved all of your goals?

Well, she was pretty lonely. And although she obtained the exact career path she wanted for many moons, she had much less luck with the stallions in her life.

She never would have imagined that the solution would come in the form of a human, or what that solution would eventually lead to. The result is quite unorthodox.

Peter, a human, gets lost in the forest and meets the kirins. One is particularly chatty, so they end up chatting... a lot (I mean, look at the word count) and then they snuggle.

There might also be petting, and non consensual hugs.

On the day of the Summer Sun Celebration, Nightmare Moon returned from her banishment. The power she had accumulated during her stay on the moon proved to be too great for Princess Celestia, and Equestria's ruler was defeated.

Weeks later, Anon arrived in Equestria via unknown means. Although lost and confused, his natural resistance to magic made him quite useful to Nightmare Moon. To his surprise, he quickly became one of her most trusted servants and found himself falling in love with her. Even more surprisingly, it seemed like she was doing the same.

Eventually, despite Anon's best efforts, Nightmare Moon was defeated and Princess Luna returned. Everyone was rejoicing. Everyone... except him. Because Anon did not fall in love with Princess Luna.

Anon fell in love with Nightmare Moon.

Somewhere in the Frozen North, a griffon expedition has gone missing. As the only airship specifically designed for the frigid environment, the Aurora Dawn and her crew's first mission out of the shipyards will be to find and rescue this lost expedition.

If only they knew what the expedition was really out there to find...

Inspired by the collective works of H.P. Lovecraft, though familiarity with Lovecraft's works are not necessary to get this.

I experimented quite a bit with narrative in this story, specifically in using different narrative voices depending upon the perspective. I'll leave it up to the readers if I pulled this off effectively.

My thanks to JawJoe for the exceptionally helpful prereading and suggestions on how to make this story all the better.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder comes out tonight, and Luna intends to be the first pony in line to get it. Of course, she isn't going to wait alone. That'd be stupid. And who better to drag to GameStop with her than Anon, the guy with absolutely nothing better to do?

This can only go well.
