Twilight isn't having a very good day. An experimental spell blew up in her face, an army of changelings is attacking Canterlot, and she just died. Yet somehow, it looks like it's going to keep going downhill from here.

Given the chance to correct what's gone wrong, Twilight swears she's going to fix all this even if it kills her. Which it will. Frequently.

A birthday present for EpicLuna

Twilight Sparkle is an intelligent pony, normally well-composed, and blissfully unaware of the state of her plot. But when she overhears a few words not meant for her ears, how will she handle the revelations and the endlessly complex task of determining the condition of her derrière?

Many thanks to Aeteros, DethByGaming, and "Twi" for their help with various parts of the story.

WARNING: Spoilers in the comments

"Every normal pony must be tempted, at times, to spit on her hooves, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.”

Over brunch, Twilight Sparkle lines out her plans to turn to a life of villainy. For the most part, her friends are all for it.

It makes sense in context, honest.

A more realistic take on the opening events of the MLP movie, where the entire cast is NOT hit by plot mandated incompetence. It is, as expected, significantly shorter.

(Minor spoilers for first 15 minutes of the MLP movie, but 90% consisting of what would already be known from the trailers.)

With the sirens dealt with and no pressing time limit to return to her world now that she can come and go at will, Twilight spends some time catching up with Sunset Shimmer. She asks a question that has been on her mind for a while now. Namely, how Sunset ever thought invading Equestria with a few hundred zombified high school students was a remotely workable plan. It turns out that radically altering your entire physiology and brain chemistry doesn't do any favors for your IQ.

T for language, alcohol, and slight lewdity.

Fluttershy couldn't contain herself while eating Twilight's pie, and now there's a huge mess for them to clean up. Who knew eating pie could be so messy!

And then Spike needed bleach to clean it up.

Chrysalis has kidnapped Celestia, so she has Twilight Sparkle right where she wants her!

And Celestia really doesn't want to hear about it.

A bit of silliness that I wrote in about four hours, trying to get rid of a writers block.

Princess. Alicorn. The pillar of all ponykind, against which so many ponies often judged themselves. Celestia hates having to constantly be these things, and it's past time for a break. Luna will watch over Equestria while her sister is gone, but taking a break from your duties and taking a break from how the world sees you are two very different matters. Enter Prominence, a quiet pony who nopony really pays much mind to. Perhaps because she doesn't exist.

Aided by this disguise, Celestia will find her peace and relaxation in the home of one of the few ponies who know Prominence's true identity: Princess Twilight Sparkle. But when Twilight begins to see Celestia as a pony, and not a princess, can she deal with the feelings that arise? And are the feelings for Celestia, or for a pony she knows is not actually real?

EDIT: I've been featured, July 19th, 2014. I have no words to express how terrified and humbled and terrified and proud and happy and terrified this makes me.

Three years after she first gained the Element of Magic, Twilight learns that it has a whole lot more in mind for her than being a simple librarian. Twilight falls into a coma to adjust to her new abilities and Celestia follows her to try and help. Unfortunately, while the sun goddess is away, monsters come out to play. An unexpected enemy declares war on Equestria while the princess sleeps. When Twilight awakens to a new world, will she be able to save it with her new powers?

Updates will be highly sporadic. I am going to need a plethora of OCs, so please submit them either as comments or PMs. You will be credited for your suggestions.

The title is a work in progress, as is the description. I may change to mature rating later, depending on the content of future chapters. This is an experimental first pony fic, so we'll see where it goes.

When Twilight visits Celestia's private hall of stained-glass windows, each bearing the image of a long-gone friend, one in particular catches her eye.

Who was this pony?

Why was she so important to Celestia?

And why does she look so familiar?
