On a cold January evening...

...Princess Twilight Sparkle sits beside her mother's bed, watching as the elderly Queen Celestia passes her final evening. Tomorrow, she'll be Queen, and a nation will look to her to unite them in their mourning. However, the burdens of her new position may prove too much to bear.

...Ms. Sunset Shimmer laments within a Canterlot townhouse. It's a foreign setting in an already foreign land. She's a girl born to the slums of Neigh Orleans, thrust into the upper crust of Equestrian society. All because she fell in love with Twilight Sparkle, starting what might be Equestria's most controversial relationship.

...Prime Minister Fancy Pants drowns out another late night behind a wall of gin and tobacco. The labours of running a nation are heavy upon him, and are made no easier by the progressive rhetoric spewed by Celestia's heir. May the gods save Equestria, and his liver, if she ever ascends.

The events of this evening will set in motion a year of deception, alliances, politics, and romance.

Editing was done by Rose Quill, I would like to thank her so much for the help. I couldn't have done this without her.

The lovely cover art is done by Miudraws. Many thanks to them for making this for me. I truly appreciate it, and you all should go check out their stuff, it's incredible.

"But the purpose of this story, and something it does very well, is to humanize people who are normally larger-than-life. And the politics, it must be said, are gripping, the drama carrying the story and rising to a strong emotional climax in the final chapter." - PresentPerfect, Recommend on December 8th

This story is a sequel to Godzilla's Lost Child

It all started out when Godzilla awoke from the ice. He went towards the Crystal Empire and easily defeats the Mane Six, only to find out that Twilight Sparkle is his long-lost daughter. He wanted to put his rage behind him, put Equestria behind him, put everything behind him and his daughter.

It went typical from there, a new threat arrives, Twilight returns to Equestria with her friends, fights the threat, accepts her past and defeats it, achieving a hybrid form in the process. But this isn't the end of the story of Twilight Sparkle's adventures.

Three months after the events that led Twilight to accept who she is, and a new adventure begins as a mysterious island a little more than four times the size of Manehattan rises form the ocean waters a few miles southeast of the Dragon Island, one containing an even more mysterious city that was hidden under the sea for millions of years, one supposedly inhabited by the humans from the past.

Now, Twilight Sparkle had another adventure in hand, but this time, she's not alone. Follow her as she and her friends search for the city's ancient knowledge along with a mysterious griffon hermit before they fall into the hands of another evil set on world domination.

Sunset is feeling a bit uprooted facing the changes that come with graduation, so she and her friends set off on a road trip to make this last summer one to remember. And New Mexicolt seems the perfect place. Art, history, and natural beauty abound. But strange auroras haunt the skies, and there are reports of UFOs.

Really, the state motto is The Land of Enchantment. They should have seen this coming.

This story is a sequel to A Queen's Perspective - Friendship Games

A few days after the Friendship Games, Rainbow Dash falls mysteriously ill. With human medicine unable to provide answers, Sunset Shimmer turns to the magic of her homeworld in hopes of finding the cause for the mysterious affliction.

Set in the continuity of law abiding pony's Hive series, running paralell to certain events of For the Hive

This story is a sequel to To start over

While dealing with her own insecurities and the fact that her friends seem to be excluding her. Sunset finds herself getting wrapped up in the mystery and chaos brought on by three new students. But can she handle it when her world starts falling apart right in front of her? and more importantly, can Twilight Sparkle actually help save Canterlot High again?

Although Canterlot was saved in the end, there was still damage.
Although they celebrated their victory, there was still loss.
Although they said "sorry", there was still resentment.

But not from the pony you expect.

A rebellion formed outside of Celestia's castle, declaring Twilight Sparkle and Cadance to be their new Princesses after she and Luna failed to protect Canterlot from the Changelings. Leading the rebellion is, to the shock and surprise of Twilight and her friends, the mysterious Mare Do Well, who claims to be the "will of the ponies’ voice". After discrediting Celestia, she proceeds to accuse Twilight's friends of "betraying their Element" and has them seized to be interrogated.

With Celestia gone to reflect on the damages she had done, Twilight Sparkle must find a way to restore the denizens of Canterlot's faith in Celestia, save her friends, and disband Mare Do Well's rebellion. However, a question still lingers in her head. A question that Mare Do Well presented to her. Is there a pony in her life that she can’t forgive?

When Twilight Sparkle had the magical surge that cemented her place as Celestia's student, the amount of power she released not only hatched a baby Dragon, it brought forth something else. Something that shouldn't exist any more.
Something that has Celestia worried.

A fluffy puppy.

[Despite the gore tag it's rather light on that, and they have yet to make a lewd tag and there's a bit of that.]

Season two is live here, Season 2

Sunset is invited to a picnic in Equestria where she attempts to get to know the pony versions of her friends then is asked to open a can of creamed corn. Hilarity ensues… No wait… A trip to the ER ensues. That’s what I meant to say.

Part of the MAD verse.

Thanks to Tired Old Man, Nova Quill/Firimil, and
Steel Resolvefor their edits and suggestions and insta-pony-girl for the Sunset Shimmer picture!

Twilight chases what looks like her missing friend into the mountains and finds a red dragon which she becomes close friends with as she tries to survive the Canterlot Mountain of Death

Twilight is summoned to view the world famous "Fashion Mile" as Celestia's Protege but things rarely go the way they are intended and are never simple. Especially when she finds herself completely spell bound by a model who's an entire world apart.
