Since their wedding, Cadence and Shining Armour have been happier than ever together. But that doesn't mean their relationship goes without it's struggles and trials.

Princess Mi Amore Cadensa (also known as Princess Cadence) is known to be the crystal princess, the ruler of the crystal empire, and the savior of the crystal ponies. However, Equestria's history has overlooked the former crystal princess. Or rather, the crystal queen. Queen Chrysalis.

Twilight Sparkle never thought she would ever be interested in teaching. Her entire existance was spent devoted to the study of magic (and the avoidance of making friends). But everything changed after she hosted a presentation at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, the very same school she failed to enter as a foal.

Now she is in tiny Ponyville. A village just to the west of Canterlot. It's small, quiet, and unassuming, Twilight Sparkle is certain that it's the perfect place to learn how to teach. After all, nothing happens in small towns, right?

Unfortunately for Twilight, destiny works in strange ways, and the very fate of Equestria may depend on... Making friends?!

Shortly after Twilight Sparkle became a princess, Celestia approached her former-unicorn student to explain the situation to her.

Here's how it went down.

Based on a funny Harry Potter parody.

This story is a sequel to People Are Strange

Lyra dreams.

Written for the Writer's Training Grounds '15 #10.

Spike's eleven year nap is interrupted by a little filly in his treehouse...

Third place winner in The Writeoff Association's June event, "A Matter of Perspective"

Now with a Spanish Translation, by SPANIARD KIWI.

While looking through a big book of spells, Trixie finds one she's never tried before. One that'll let her get even closer to her friends!
Can anything go wrong? Oh sweet Luna! Yes, yes it can!

Set in the Trio-verse, an AU where Celestia was banished, and Luna took up Sunset, Trixie and Twilight as her students. Recommend reading Luna's Protégé and The Fillies of Canterlot Castle before this one.

The sirens have been stopped. Sunset Shimmer has earned her ears, a sign that her redemption has been confirmed by Harmony itself. Everything's great, right?

Right?

Sunset's own subconscious begs to differ. And the resulting disagreement could have more drastic consequences than any side of her realizes.

An entry in the June 2015 Writeoff Competition, with the prompt "A Matter of Perspective." Rated Teen for fantasy violence and Things man was not meant to know.

A prequel to The Necromantic Adventures of Lyra Heartstrings. Faeries are supposed to be grand arbiters of arcane knowledge to the world, right? Ancient warriors that can stand against the forces of evil and wield great magics against them without hesitation to protect the world? Beings of pure warmth that are willing to dispense their learning to those that dare approach them, right?

Fluttershy is not that sort of faerie.
