In response to threats of a griffon attack on Equestria, Twilight responds with a letter detailing just why such actions would prove unfavorable for them.

Speak of the nightmare, and she shall appear.

Celestia and Luna were supposed to enjoy each other on a night alone in the Everfree. However, things go south when they find Luna's old dark self: Nightmare Moon. But, she is different. She wants to be better and wants forgiveness. And Luna, listening to the mare lament, asks herself a question.

Is Nightmare Moon deserving of the forgiveness she asks for?

Takes place three days after the events of Luna Eclipsed.

Mis-communication has started many a war, but in this case maybe calling it a war was too generous.

The "war" is over, Twilight has successfully orchestrated a bloodless end to the Griffons' aggression, but only now does she realize that there is more to winning than she had first assumed, especially against a nation that holds war as a central part of their culture...

Now Twilight must deal with the aftermath while facing a challenge she never anticipated: being seen as a conqueror.

This can be read alone, but I recommend reading the letter that started it all for a chuckle and a little exposition. This series of expositional one-shots can also give some additional world-building.

Sunset and Celestia reconciled many months ago, upon the former's return to Canterlot. Despite this, Sunset can't help but feel nervous as today is a special day: Mother's day.

A late Mother's day fic.

Twilight stands in an empty, frozen Canterlot Castle. She's freezing to death, but she dares not move an inch, for fear of failing the test.

When Luna asked Twilight for help adapting to the modern Equestrian language, Twilight was quick to agree. She was happy to call Luna her friend, but royal duties between the both of them typically dictated that their visits were few and far between, and any opportunity to see the Lunar diarch on a less formal basis was okay in her books. Helping Luna understand the convoluted idioms Equestrians love to create seemed like great fun anyway. She just... She hadn't expect Luna to be that out of date. Fortunately, Twilight's not a pony to back away from a challenge, and a vintage bottle of Manehattan Vintage Marelot is all the reinforcement she needs to enjoy giving the lessons and ignore the inevitable headaches to follow.

Originally written for the TwiLuna prompt collab, but I decided to expand it to its own story (also, the collab was dead).

Huge thanks goes out to my awesome proofreader Absolution for putting up with my shit and arguing with me over a lot of things. Even if we ended up not agreeing on most things, those discussions led to a lot of different changes which this story is very much the better for.

Twilight Sparkle is tired of this nonsense.

Every day, a slew of articles all focused on the minute details of her life invade her beloved newspapers. "Twilight Sparkle Eats Peaches." "Twilight Sparkle Hates Tea." "Twilight Sparkle Uses a Microwave." "Twilight Sparkle Makes Toast." All of it clogging up her precious sources of information from cities across Equestria.

But no more. The time has come to put an end to it, once and for all.

Written with thanks to Marceline from the #FimFiction IRC and for no good reason other than it sounded funny in my head.

It has been nearly a year since her return, but Luna continues to hide herself away from everypony else, including her sister, and continues to drift farther and farther away. But now the time has come to change that...

Cadence is the most popular girl in school. Shining isn't really popular at all. But when Cadence shows an interest in watching his sister, their worlds collide and suddenly they realize they aren't so different after all -with Twilight stuck in the middle of it.

*Contains slight diaper usage*

Twilight Sparkle, as hungry for knowledge as the great unicorn mage Starswirl the Bearded, has created a portal to the multiverse, where endless wisdom awaits her. Excited, proud, and perhaps too tired to be thinking straight, Twilight jumps right into adventure! What does she find? Well, she certainly isn't too big for her britches... compared to the giant horses she meets, how could she be? Suddenly feeling pretty small, Twilight finds herself a foal for a night until she can find a way to prove she's intelligent. Well, it could be worse; at least these Big Horses make some pretty good parents.
