Twilight writes to Princess Celestia for an explanation of an insidious issue Shining Armor told her about... but she ends up finding a secret that will change her life forever.
Short and thoughtful, with just a little pinch of humor to liven things up.

Many thanks to my proofreaders and pre-readers, Kolth, Sky Warden, and Colt, all from MLP Forums.
Twilight has something she needs to tell Princess Celestia--something that means a chance at getting everything she's ever wanted, or of losing everything she's ever had.
Something so terrifying that the only way she could say it was in a letter...and so wonderful that she had the courage to send it.
(Thanks to Cenit V for the cover!)
Sometimes, there are words that were never meant to be said and ideas that were never meant to be known. When the truth exposes those things we wish left hidden, what happens then? Does that truth set you free or utterly damn you?
A/N: Innumerable thanks to Aatxe360 for his assistance. Twilestia. Lunajack also based off of "What The Night Remembers". Marked "Teen" for content. Considered prior to the end of Season 3.
A thousand of years of life experience would no doubt teach Princess Celestia much about romantic relationships, and that is exactly what Twilight wishes to learn from her beloved mentor. When Princess Luna catches wind of these lessons, however, she sees a chance to relight the fires of love within her sister again. But when a “one-time fling” turns into a life-long infatuation, Luna and a reluctant Cadance must race to reverse the effects of their meddling before Twilight finds herself in a most compromising position!
But can she truly resist the total affection of a goddess?
Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia's most prized and faithful student, is being sent to Ponyville to learn about the magic of friendship.
And she's not happy about it.
Hear what Celestia has to say back! Check out the spinoff:

When Twilight Sparkle slipped beneath the covers last night, everything had been fine. She had friends whom she loved, a teacher she adored, and a bright future ahead of her. But when she woke up, her blankets and quilts had been replaced by hospital gowns and padded restraints.
Everything is wrong and nothing makes sense; even her friends have changed. The doctors keep telling her that she is sick, that none of it was real and that it was all in her head. Yet she remembers a life far beyond the hospital walls. She couldn't have made it all up on her own. They must be lying… right?

All the World’s a Stage - Luna had a wonderful evening with Twilight and sang her heart out about it. Oh, and she might have left the door open.
