(Takes place within the universe of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: What If? and its many sequels. Familarity with them is recommended, but not required.)

It's back once again, that series which has always asked and sought to answer the question "What if things were written differently?". This time, rather than episodes from the show, it's tackling the big 2017 theatrical movie.

Twilight Sparkle is excited to host the very first Festival of Friendship, right in her hometown of Ponyville. But she's also starting to have doubts about how great of a princess she truly is in the wake of a costly mistake made not too long ago. Luckily, she has her friends by her side along with her faithful companion and adopted family member Spike.

But just as everything's in place for the festival to begin, things go awry. A hornless unicorn named Tempest Shadow launches an invasion on behalf of an evil known as the Storm King, and she soon sets her sights on all four alicorn princesses: Twilight included. Twilight and her friends only barely manage to escape.

Facing a threat unlike anything they've ever dealt with before, Twilight hopes to recruit a new ally in the form of Queen Novo, and her friends insist on tagging along. Their journey will take them beyond the borders of Equestria, to lands never seen before, and will test their friendship in ways unimagined. Can the magic of friendship survive when it is placed under extreme stress?

As always, no disrespect is to intended to anyone at Hasbro, DHX, Boulder Media, or to anyone involved with the movie's creation: Be it from a writer, artist, or voice acting stand point.

What was the rest of Equestria doing while the Friendship Council sought the aid of the Hippogriffs during those 3 fateful days? This is the story of the unsung heroes of the land, for without their aid, it could have been a lot more worse...

This story is a sequel to Back to Panthera's Past

Cheif Marini of Zebrat. Queen Katherina Proudpaws. King Thamus of Orithinia. King Meowmeow of Abyssinia. These four leaders and various other creatures from their homes have a meeting with Princess Twilight Sparkle and various other leaders of Equestria's kingdoms. These things take time, so the other visiting creatures go and visit Ponyville to have some fun.

In an Equestria where Princess Luna was never possessed by the Nightmare the world thrived under both Celestia and Luna's rule. As such, the timeline diverted. After rigorous evaluations, Sunset Shimmer was chosen by Princess Celestia to be her student. Twilight Sparkle, having been glossed over by the Sun Princess, was selected by Princess Luna to be her pupil. One day, the Immortal Sisters send their protégés on a mission to a small town. When the villain named Starlight Glimmer appears all of their lives will be changed forever.

Twilight is now the new ruling Princess of Equestria. With her ascension begins a new chapter, not just for the ponies, but for all creatures. There are new struggles, new achievements, and most importantly, new friendships, all waiting on the horizon.

After her friends come to her aid during a time of need, Ocellus undergoes a dramatic transformation. This results in a flurry of new emotions and worries that cause the Student Six to fear that their friendship is in jeopardy.

Hearth's Warming is never an easy time for Gallus, being the only one without a real family to go home to.

But this year, he just might discover a new friend to spend it with.

Spanish Translation

(A stand alone sequel to Gallus' Guard Training. Familiarity with that story is encouraged but not required for you to understand this one. Indirectly based on the song "Don't Give Your Love Away".)

Gallus has risen through the ranks of Equestria's royal guard quite fast, surprising almost everyone with his dedication. But his dedication to his adopted home country is about to be put to the ultimate test.

War unexpectedly breaks out between Equestria and forces claiming to belong to the real Emperor Grogar. Gallus is part of a unit that is to be deployed to the front lines to fight, which poses a problem when he's just coming off a successful proposal to Silverstream.

Silverstream doesn't want to see the love of her life to go off to war, fearful that he will never return. Gallus, however, has already made up his mind. Yet before he leaves, he decides to offer up some words of encouragement to the love of his life.

(Dedicated in loving memory of her majesty: Queen Elizabeth II. 1926-2022. Takes place within the same universe as "A Tale of Two Lovebirds", "The Griffon Who Came to Mount Aris" and "Don't Give Your Love Away". But familiarity with those works is not required. Featured from 9/09/2022 to 9/10/2022.)

Gallus and Silverstream have settled into newly wed life, and couldn't be happier living in Equestria together. That is, until they learn of some truly shocking news: Queen Novo has died!

With her cousin Skystar due to ascend to the throne, Silverstream immediately begins making plans to return to Mount Aris to be there for her grieving cousin. Not wanting to let his wife go alone, Gallus pleads with Princess Twilight to be allowed to accompany Silverstream back home.

When Princess Twilight gives her blessings, Gallus prepares to return to a place he has little familiarity with. But nothing will stop him from being there for his wife, as she and her extended family join all of Mount Aris and Seaquestria in mourning the passing of their queen.

(Collab with Latecomer who suggested the idea. Takes place after "The Hearth's Warming Club".)

Even though he and his friends are staying over the holiday break to be with Gallus, Sandbar has made his own plans for Hearth's Warming. Those plans get upended when his parents have to leave and unexpectedly task him with foalsitting his baby sister, Coral.

Despite Sandbar having some prior foalsitting experience, he decides to rope his friends into helping him with his important assignment. Which is quickly complicated by the fact that none of them know how ponies raise their young.

To complicate things further, Sandbar is soon hospitalized after hitting his head against a tree. So his friends have to take turns checking up on him, and keeping Coral under control. A problem when she is going through "potty training" which is something Sandbar's friends know very little about.
