To see if I still feel.

Nightmare Moon captures Celestia. Celestia is kind of annoyed.

Spoilers, look at the tags.

Chrysalis was blasted from Canterlot by Shining’s and Cadance’s love for each other, but she hasn’t lost yet, she still has a secret weapon against them.

A weapon that only an ancient love-sucking being with a keen mind and an army of spies can wield; a deep understanding of the pony’s laws.

So, she arms herself with a business suit, glasses, and a briefcase full of documents, and marches on towards Canterlot.

This story follows Biography of a Tyrant, but it can also stand alone nicely.

Nightmare Moon is banished, imprisoned in the moon which she once controlled. It is the first great battle that Celestia has ever lost.

But only as the smoke clears does she fully realize what has just transpired.

Now, she also stands upon the precipice.

The choice is hers.

(Chronology note: this tale takes place before the series begins, and before Cadence and Celestia meet.)

(Chronology note: this timeline continues with Cadence of the Crystal Empire.)

Part of the Elsequestria Continuity and the Sunset Rising Continuity.

This story follows Luna’s Gift, but it can also stand alone nicely.

You know his name.

You know when he lived.

You even know when he died.

Your parents warned you, when you were foals, that if you weren't good he would come for you.

They may have been right.

(Chronology note: this tale takes place before the series begins, and before the exile of Princess Luna.)

(Inspired in part by Fall of the Crystal Empire, most specifically by Zedrin’s performance as Sombra.)

Addendum: On February 07, 2019, this became my first story to be in the featured box! Thank you all so much, you are all beautiful!

Additional addendum: I am marking this tale as ‘completed’ for now, in honour of its ability to stand alone. However, I may add chapters in the future when inspiration strikes.

This story follows Exiles, but it can also stand alone nicely.

Years after Discord’s overthrow, the world is settling into what will one day become kingdoms. But despite the relative calm of this new age, Luna knows something has been troubling her older sister deeply.

But what it might be, she cannot guess.

And what her solution is, Celestia cannot imagine.

It’s in a box. No peeking.

(Chronology note: this tale takes place before the series begins, and well before the exile of Princess Luna. This timeline continues in Biography of a Tyrant.)

Part of the Elsequestria Continuity and the Sunset Rising Continuity.

Before recorded history, there was the Age of Chaos, when Discord ruled the world.

And in this age, there were two sisters.

The elder, a unicorn, possessed unprecedented refined senses and magical might. The younger sister was a pegasus, with insight beyond her years and the strange gift of walking through shadow and dream.

One day, they would be alicorns. Ponies and other intelligent beings would debate over whether they were goddesses.

But first, before anything else, they were children.

This is their story.

(Note: during the Age of Chaos, time was soft and most attempts of marking its passage were meaningless. The titles of the first four chapters refer to the sisters' approximate stages of physical development.)

This chronology continues in Luna’s Gift.

The shocking death of Princess Celestia came and all of Equestria mourned. None could explain, either scientific, medical, or magical, could explain the utter failure of her body and her demise. After her passing, Twilight Sparkle finds herself plagued with answers of how and why this happened. In order to find out what happened, and prevent such a thing from happening again, Twilight use the same potion Zecora gave her during the vine incident to step into the past and find the answers she seeks.

Yet the answers are nothing she ever expected, and what she learns will shatter everything she has known about Princess Celetia and her thousand year rule since her sister's banishment.
