Sometimes taking a detour can be a very enriching experience. A day before Nightmare Moon's return, Lyra Heartstrings took Twilight Sparkle on such detour and ended up making a wonderful memory together.

Twilight Sparkle is the most talented physicist in America. When President Celestia and the second most talented physicist in America, also named Twilight Sparkle, ask her to help rediscover Equestria, Twilight finds that she simply can't refuse. The question is, can she overcome an ancient evil in order to save her friends and family, new and old? A humanized reinterpretation of "Friendship is Magic, Parts 1 & 2".

This story is a sequel to Twilight Sparkle of the Royal Guard

Between castle gossip, professional rivalries, a blooming romance, and a mysterious malefactor still at large, Decurion Twilight Sparkle has a lot on her plate. Hopefully, she'll make a few new friends as she moves towards the destiny she's chosen for herself.

As per usual, big thanks to Magello for the rad cover art!

The Rainbooms were bored. It was summer, hot, and none of their friends had any idea as well what to do. To that end, Fluttershy and Pinkie begin scrolling through the internet for stuff to laugh at. However, in their quest to lose their boredom, they find a few interesting facts about Sci-Twi from her days before Crystal Prep...

Now, their friend is a drinker, a felon, and a girl who doesn't give two ****s about anything else, only egged on more by the introduction to some of Twilight old friends. What just happened?

Friendships will be tested, secrets will be spilled, and the school itself will be shaken. When the dust settles, the Rainbooms will have to ask themselves one question: "Do they really know who Twilight is?"

And you know, the Shadowbolts are also there, for the lol's

Loosely based off of The real Rarity. I liked the idea about Rarity having a secret about her true accent and put a spin on it for Twilight (It isn't about her accent though)
