This story is a sequel to In Her Majesty's Royal Service

After guardsponies Storm Stunner, Crack Shot, and Check Mate proved instrumental in stopping an interdimensional incident that threatened to annoy the city of Canterlot, the Royal Guard made a realization: perhaps they might just be able to serve functions beyond pulling aerial chariots and trying not to blink in public.

Now months later, they're finally starting to get somewhere with each of the odd regimens they've designed; it's a shame that three of their number will have to miss the progress to follow. In recognition of their prior bravery, quick thinking, (and to a smaller degree their dumb luck), Princess Luna has given Storm, Check, and Crack Shot a special assignment: to visit the lands on the borders of pony control, to sample the local flavors, and to maybe even take a picture or two. One might dare to call it a vacation.

However, expectations mean little so far from home, and despite Luna's wishes to keep the guardsponies out of harm's way, the world can easily change in a thousand years. The three guardsponies may be forced to deal with the inconvenience of their vacation turning into an adventure.

First Story: In Her Majesty's Royal Service

Twilight ventures out into the mountains to see a once-in-a-lifetime event. Disappointed by her friends not coming with her, Twilight crosses paths with a kindred spirit.

Presenting one of the oldest and most well-known tales in Equestrian lore: the story of the mysterious origins of the royal sisters and of the time the sun refused to rise.

Based on the Japanese myth of Amaterasu.

The glamorous unicorn Opalescence is haunted by bizarre recurring dreams of a world in which she and her friends are all animals. But as vivid as these dreams are, surely they're just dreams, right? There couldn't actually be a parallel universe somewhere where they're little more than pets ... right?

Princess Luna is back! Purified by the elements, restored to her proper self, and reunited with her sister, the younger alicorn tries to stabilize herself in an Equestria that is not how it once was.

This is a collection of stories.

Back in the Royal Saddle: Luna's first act as returning Princess is to choose the two lucky stallions who will act as her personal guard.

A Week With a Loon: Luna takes over control of Canterlot, so that her dear sister may take a vacation.

Balanced: Luna takes on young Twilight Sparkle as her student.

Of Night Light's and Sound Waves: Luna is "persuaded" to go out at night and explore Canterlot.

Spike only wants things to stay the same. Time, however, has other ideas. He's going to need a lot of help... An everypony story.

Rated teen for mild language, adult themes, and because of an extremely paranoid author.

"Tank has always wanted to be a pony. So have the other pets, secretly. Well, his wish comes true."

What would you do if your pets suddenly turned into a pony and could talk to you? Be friends with them? Cherish and love them? What if that love went from friendly to... something more?

Story is better than summary! (At least I tried >.<)

This story is a sequel to Off The Edge Of The Map

When Twilight is sent with Luna on a diplomatic mission to Draconia, they quickly find themselves somewhere that doesn't appear on any map, and Luna is lost in more than one way...

GLaDOS is free of Chell, free to continue testing, when she discovers a portal gun Wheatley tried to repair with duct tape. When the portal gun catastrophically fails, the enrichment center, GLaDOS, and Chell are literally dropped in the middle of Equestria. The mute test subject soon finds the world of ponies far more welcoming than the human world. But GLaDOS sees possibilities. Let the testing begin... for science.

Lysander is the last remaining of the Ascended, an immortal group of angelic beings sworn to guard the eternal Flame of Life, the core of life, death and rebirth through all of existence.
As a member of the Caretakers, Lysander had spent his Ascended life healing and rejuvenating the souls of the deceased from across the Planes. Now, following a Fiendish invasion of Elysium, home plane of the Ascended, the former Caretaker finds himself in a very different world.

At first sight this world may seem a paradise, but when the Fiends of the Lower Planes are left to their own devices without Ascended supervision; who can really tell how long it will stay pure and innocent?
