The past always comes back to haunt the present, there is no escaping the inevitable. For decades, Celestia has kept a secret from her student. A secret she made out of pain, and through pain will be revealed for all to see; for Twilight Sparkle is the secret daughter of the Sun.

Now, there will be consequences.

Consequences, they come in all shapes and sizes for every decision. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. These words are lessons that Princess Celestia should know, bits of wisdom she practices in her rule of Equestria. How is it then, that when faced with a decision, she chooses the one that would inevitably bring the most pain? How is it that she couldn’t bear being recognized as the mother of her child? And why? Twilight Sparkle is about to find out.

Some history is lost through negligence or the whims of fate. Some is obfuscated on purpose, the terrible events kept from the lessons taught to young ponies. Daring Do knows perhaps better than most that much of what Equestrians are taught in school is a carefully tailored half-truth, key facts and events shrouded by the passage of time and Celestia's loving hoof, leaving many more questions then there are answers. When Daring Do receives an odd package, one such question will be answered. A question asked many times over the years: Why do unicorns dream but once a year?

A Myths and Birthrights prequel.

Celestia raises the sun every day, but it never gets boring. Not by a long shot.

This was a collab fic done by Fantasia Archsage (me) and Pump It Up a great friend of mine. Man, I really felt great doing this one.

Also, this fic has been edited by Xhoral1865, Hothead 112, and Jake The Dog. I know, Jake The Dog from Adventure Time, so freaking awesome! Anyhow, thank you all for reading this, please go give these people some follows and enjoy the story.

Looking back, she witnesses the entirety of her world in the window. A single dewdrop of oceans and forests and mountains and storms, just floating there, hushed and still. She squints through an eye, placing her hoof upon the glass. It completely covers the receding planet.

And in that instant, she's alone.

Twilight is angry. Normally, a more calm approach would be useful, but when a pony... When a pony commits that, well, the chips are off the table. Justice must be extracted.

Silly, soft shipping. Inspired partly by the Chilean god, Pablo Neruda.

Princess Celestia is seen as a nearly inapproachable figure. Her image as total ruler of Equestria has both solidified her authority and alienated her from other ponies. When this alienation begins to affect her mentality she summons her faithful student to help give her the best cure for it, snuggles.

Review by PaulAsaran

An Evil Lord learns of a forbidden spell that will destroy the world. Naturally, he intends to cast it.

No problem! Princesses Celestia and Luna will just send Twilight Sparkle to go stop him. That usually does the trick. There's only one catch:

There are only thirty seconds left to stop him before the spell is completed.

Inspired by Half Minute Hero

The War of the Witches? Ever since you began visiting me here in my garden, my newest student, your inquiries have all revolved around that ancient conflict. I will admit, I wish you would ask me about something else. No? Very well. You have selected the subject, but this evening I shall choose the setting, as I believe there is something I need to say.

Yes, something I need to say indeed…
