My name is Twilight Sparkle.
I am three hundred and seventy five years old.
Except for Spike, all my friends are dead...But not for long

Betrayed by Celestia, and isolated in her castle with only Spike for support, Twilight Sparkle enacts a powerful spell to reincarnate the element bearers through her own body.
Her friends will be reborn, and, with the trials of being a mother to her friends ahead of her, an unraveling secret from the past following her at every turn, and the possibility of a brand new life so close in reach, Twilight just might be reborn too.

Princess Celestia always thought she knew how her kingdom worked. The Unicorns used magic specialized to their jobs. Pegasi flew in the sky and handled the weather. And Earth ponies... Earth ponies... uhhmmm...
Huh. Maybe Princess Celestia didn't know everything about her ponies after all.
Princess Celestia realized this after Applejack came to speak with her about a tax unfair to Earth pony farmers. It was during their conversation that Celestia realized she needed help.
Huh, isn't that odd Princess Celestia has had to leave on emergency business, leaving Luna to raise and set the sun? And hey, is that a new pony living and working at Sweet Apple Acres? I think her name is Sunshine Meadow. Surely, it's just a coincidence. Surely.

This story is a sequel to Memories Don't Burn

The library is gone. Princess Twilight Sparkle has a new home...one that needs a lot of work.

She also has a lot of questions. Questions about her new role in Equestria, the part her friends will play in it...and whether or not she should assume rulership over Ponyville.

This is a sequel to Memories Don't Burn, but also an interquel, as it expands upon events between that story's first and last scenes.

Rainbow Dash has developed a crush on Twilight. Now she just needs to find a way to express herself to her heart's desire, while fighting against her own past, meddling friends, and a pony who only recently learned what friendship was.

So it might be a bit harder than she thought.

Each chapter of this story is based off a song. This is not a "song fic", I'm basically just using the songs as a prompt for the story.

Y'know, kinda like that Timaeus guy did, but not as good. Honestly, you should probably just click that link right up there and read his story. Now. READ IT!

There are rumours in Equestria of a long-forgotten civilization, hidden deep within the wild jungle known as Everfree: A once great city, now in ruins, built into the mountain side high above the ground. On the edge of the jungle is a cave, and inside that cave sleeps a dragon. It's said he's been there for tens of thousands of years, and that he is the only being that remains of the ancient civilization. Sometimes, if awoken from his eternal slumber, he will share with you his story.

After hearing his tale, two ponies braved the mighty Everfree to find the truth. What hides deep within the overgrown depths is something even the dragon couldn't have imagined.

A few days after the Nightmare Moon Incident, Spike awakens to find Twilight acting a little...odd. Or odder than usual anyway. All of a sudden she's being all motherly, sure of herself in ways she's never been before, and even more outgoing.

But…it’s kind of creepy how she just seems to know everypony’s name, or their habits, and even some stuff nopony else should know.

But she's still good old Twilight...right?

AU. Based on the first season. Twilight and Celestia begin to drift apart due to a misunderstanding. Will Luna speak up and repair the breach, or will she remain silent to keep her new friend, Twilight, all to herself? What other challenges will face everypony involved because of this new relationship?

It's a simple little love story. Unfortunately, love's not simple.

This story is a sequel to Princess Twilight Sparkle's 505th Birthday

Probably not.
