Tasked by the mysterious alicorn tribe, a young Celestia and Luna must leave the safety of their home and venture into the world beyond to uncover their kin's sacred artifact, the Teardrops of Creation. Blinded by urgency and tradition, it is only during the mission that they realize what they're searching for is something far more important than a mere artifact.

Throughout their journey, the estranged Sisters must face hardship from within and without, as they also try to discover the source of a strange sort of magic plaguing Equestria. Unaware that their adventure plays right into a gambit between gods and demigods, vying to shape the future of the world.

The story is complete, and will update every week.

Two-thousand years of Equestrian history through the eyes of those who lived it; from Princesses Celestia and Luna's mentorship under Starswirl, to the first appearance of Discord, to the sacrifice of The Pillars, and Luna's banishment. This story fills in the gaps of the show's canon (ignoring comics and other media).

Extended Universe:
Chapter 11 -> Flight of the Valkyrie

Glossary and Art

Stardust Glitter is far from flawless; imperfections thread through the fabric of her being, as they do with us all. Your willingness to extend patience towards her nuances will be met with gratitude. As you embark on your date together, a delicate balance must be struck in your choice of words, mindful of the potential to evoke tears from Stardust's sensitive soul.

Your affection and comprehension are paramount, particularly considering the traumatic ordeal she has weathered. Above all else, your paramount concern is to shield her from any further anguish, avoiding the heartbreaking sight of tears staining her cheeks.

Stardust Glitter is a character created and written by Andy Hunter, she is one of the main protagonists of my story. Mona Lisa Overdrive

Blackjack, grappling with loneliness, finds it unbearable to spend more than six hours apart from you. She bombards you with continuous calls, desperate to maintain a connection while you're engrossed in time with your friends. In response to her longing for affection and companionship, you choose to visit Blackjack's mansion, offering her the solace she craves.

This Blackjack has no relation to the one in Project Horizons, this Blackjack is the realistic and complex version that I made of her that appears in Mona Lisa Overdrive
(I mean, she acts like a real-life person with some of her personality traits)
This is a Spin-off series that I came up with, where you will have dates with my characters and others.

With Maud settling down in Ponyville, Marble studying in the Crystal Empire, and her parents finally deciding to retire, Pinkie Pie wonders if Limestone is going to be okay running the Pie Family Farm all by herself. She's never done well on her own, and her cold demeanor probably isn't going to get her a boyfriend anytime soon.

Luckily, she knows an equally lonely human who is perfect for the job!

Thousands of years ago Princess Luna grew jealous of her sisters' popularity and transformed into the dark visage of Nightmare Moon, but is that all that happened?

Celestia may have been able to defeat Nightmare Moon with the power of the Elements of Harmony, but were rendered useless when turned on the Element of Magic herself, Midnight Sparkle. But in her grief-stricken mind Midnight fled to mourn the banishment of her fiancée. But now, almost 1000 years later with Nightmare Moon's return imminent, Midnight has a new plan.

It's been awhile since I've written anything, and this idea has been in my head since 2017, I just couldn't find the inspiration to but it to actual words. So, here it is, my attempt at a longer story with a premise I've wanted on this website for half a decade. I've read a lot of romance between Luna and Twilight but the ones where Twilight is born in a different time period usually have her as Luna's daughter. I wanted one where Twilight was the lover of Luna and willingly joined her in the fight against Celestia. It turns out I couldn't find one, so I decided to write it myself.

Like I said, I've not written seriously in awhile so stuff might look really weird, please point out typos, weird commas, or run-on sentences -- I tend to struggle with stuff like that a lot. Plus, there will be many chapters where I attempt to use Old English, if there are any glaring issues with my attempts at that, let me know.

Also, if anyone knows of a cover image that would be good for this story, let me know

It's strange how a single change can create a massive difference in somepony's life.

Somewhere in a different world, Twilight Sparkle is thrust into an unforeseen destiny with the most unlikely (and possibly unstable) group of friends to fight the forces of darkness and bring the magic of friendship back to Equestria.

That's if they don't kill each other first.

Part 2: Pony Tails

Everything got so much worse for batponies after Nightmare Moon was banished. Even those with no involvement in the war, Equestria turned hostile. Instead of a loving home, Mira grew up as an orphan, cowering in terror from the advance of Princess Celestia's Golden Army.

In the shadowy caverns of Understory, the ancient arts were still taught: Dreamwalking, and all the 'dark' practices that were once fundamental to the bats' reverence of Princess Luna.

After the death of somepony close to her, Mira finally resolved to do something. She didn't have the power to fight against Equestria, but maybe she could do something else.

With the forbidden knowledge of the sleeping world, she could rescue Nightmare Moon, and save batponies everywhere from extinction. That, or die trying.

Updates Wednesdays.

After doing some research into the history of Alicorns, Twilight finds a dead end. When she chooses to pursue it against Celestia's wishes, she finds herself entangled in a messy history that some want forgotten. An Alicorn's position comes with sacrifice. And when given power, one will always be in want of more...

A complicated explanation for the history and intricacies of the My Little Pony universe. If you're reading this, be ready for the long haul.

A rewrite, or rather, the heavily revised and actually worth reading version of The Struggle for Power, my earlier work. Think of that as an alpha build, and this as the "released-to-the-public" program.

Twilight Sparkle didn’t care about overseeing the Summer Sun Celebration in some podunk little town. She just wanted a chance to study the history of the Lunar Rebellions and maybe, just maybe, convince Celestia that her sister’s return was a real possibility. Now it’s a lot more than just a possibility, and one Canterlot egghead isn’t going to be able to take on Nightmare Moon and her army alone.

(Season 1, Episodes 1 and 2 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic rewritten and expanded as a mature fantasy adventure)
