Evening Storm was just having a normal day when Applejack came to him with a rather odd request.

(Why my OC and Applejack? Uh... Because the Sun Broke!)

Luna has been in her room for a rather long time. So long in fact that Celestia feels she needs to intercede. However can Celestia bring herself to enter her sisters room when she hears a continuous clopping noise?

I don't want to give anything away. It'll ruin the story. All I can say is it has a twist.

Twilight Sparkle wakes up to an unexpected thought, and now she just wants it to go away. The idea is embarrassing enough: an erotic liaison between herself and Princess Luna. But Twilight's problem runs deeper. She can't ignore this idea, however much she tries. She decides to write it out as a story, to clear the thing from her mind. Now she needs to finish her story quickly – because if she falls asleep before it's done, the Princess of Dreams will get to see that idea for herself.

Rainbow Dash. Best flyer in Equestria, 20% cooler and the most awesome mare in Ponyville.

...But none of those traits can win over the heart of a local librarian...

This is one of the hardest challenges she faced so far...

Thanks to the amazing Cynical for the edits.

After purchasing a pin-up calender for a nature fundraiser, Fluttershy develops a crush on one of its subjects. They're just so subdued, so elegant, and yet still so confident and charismatic... They're everything Fluttershy is and everything she is not in one beautiful package.

When Twilight "offers" to introduce the two, it seems like a dream come true. After all, this is destiny; they're a perfect match, meant to be together.

What could possibly go wrong?

Inspired by "Pictures of Lily" by The Who.

Editing and prereading by Adjudicator, MidnightRambler, Sereg, and MetaFour, all of whom are awesome.

In the year 2028, the rule of Celestia and Luna has ended, and taking their place is a large, red, cyborg pony named Equilarsous. The cities and towns have become steampunk ghettos, filled with death and tragedy. The main six, holders of the Elements of Harmony, have scattered. Twilight works as the librarian of Canterlot, enjoying her job immensely. Rainbow Dash has joined the Equestrian Guard after learning that the Wonderbolts had abandoned their jobs and disappeared. Applejack is a poor farmer, barely keeping herself and Applebloom alive. Fluttershy fled to the forest after hearing of the new ruler, saying that he is an evil pony that will bring darkness abound. Rarity makes dresses for the rich in Canterlot, and is able to speak with Twilight nearly every day. Pinkie Pie is a baker who still lives in Ponyville.
After spending ten years unaware of the evil that is spreading thoughout Equestria, the main six are brought together again by a mysterious pony named Stormfax, who claims to be the disowned son of Equilarsous. He tells them that the land has fallen into chaos, and only the Elements of Harmony can revive it. But, after hearing this, Equilarsous will do everything to stop them from succeeding... even if it means the death of hundreds.
