After a thousand long years, Princess Luna was finally freed from Nightmare Moon and welcomed back to Equestria. But she became Nightmare Moon for a reason, didn't she? What if Luna wanted to take over Equestria even before she succumbed to jealousy?

Having returned from the moon, she secretly writes her efforts to seize the throne and notes the challenges that stand in her way. But if there's one thing that hasn't changed over the last millennium, it's the fact that she can't recognize a losing battle when she sees one.

Twilight gets drunk and ships Rainbow Dash with everything in the universe.

Rainbow Dash is not amused.

This is a tale of the time before time, before gravity, before mass or matter had names or had begun to take any sort of intelligible shape. This is the story of Celestia, and how she created the universe, and later, the ponies under her charge.

(Warning to new readers, the comments are chock full of spoilers.)

Zenith Chaser is a climber. It says so in her cutie mark. But the world of Equestria isn’t that big, so there are no more mountains to climb, and now she simply dragged Pinkie Pie along to climb an iceberg.

It's just another day for Diamond Tiara. And in a fit of rage, something happens....

Discord is a new draconequus now, and sworn to use his powers only for good, but that doesn't mean he can't still have some chaotic fun while on the job.

Two lost souls find their lives on the line as they gamble their freedom in a battle of wits against a grand master, in his own House of Chaos.

This story is a sequel to Ascend

Congratulations, Twilight. With Celestia and Luna on their constitutionally mandated vacation, you're in charge of Equestria. The position of Regent is an honored and hallowed one. But maybe it's a bit early to congratulate you. After all, whether it's a nobility jealous of your ascension, or a military unhappy with Celestia's decisions; one thing's certain: your reign will be anything but peaceful.

During a lull in the conversation at an upper class charity dinner, Rarity takes a moment to contemplate some commonly held assumptions made of Princess Celestia. Specifically, her table manners.

"Beware Her wrath, fools who dare threaten our Kingdom. For if Celestia be our Shield, then Luna is the Sword."

Spiritual companion to Sweet Celestia.
