When Twilight attempts to expand her repertoire of magic, she gets more than she bargained for when she ends up switching Spike and Princess Cadence's minds, with serious repercussions should anypony find out. Between helping the Crystal Empire, helping the Magic Of Friendship spread through Equestria, and keeping Shining Armour and Flurry Heart happy, and finding a way to reverse the spell, the trio has more to worry about than ever before thanks to Twilight's recklessness.

Wish them luck.

Every morning, Princess Celestia wakes up in terrible pain, and every morning, she chooses to endure it. Until one blissful day grants her the blessing of feeling normal.

Few things in her life have ever frightened her so much.

This story is a sequel to Prince Blueblood Wants His Wings Back

Technically a prequel, but shh
While it is true that alicorns can be made, sometimes they are born. If a true alicorn, whose title has been rightfully earned, takes a lover who has seen the darkest truths of the universe and yet still has strength to smile, and their passion is more true than the universe itself, an alicorn might be born. The chances of such an event are so small that they make a million-to-one chance look like a sure thing.

But still, there are miracles. Sometimes an alicorn, with all the trappings of the three races, is born unto this world. It is around such beings that the universe inevitably turns. Even if they find themselves... reduced.

This is the story of Prince Blueblood the First. It is also the story of Prince Blueblood the Thirty-Fourth, and all of the Bluebloods in between.

An entry in ocalhoun's Big 250k Contest.

After discovering some more of Star Swirl’s unfinished spells, Twilight's curiosity causes her to cast one, in spite of Spike's warnings. To her surprise, the spell doesn’t seem to do anything. Frightened that perhaps she repeated her previous mistake from Magical Mystery Cure, she rushes to Ponyville only to find everything is as it should be. After this, she agrees not to try to fix any more spells and goes to sleep...

Only to wake up in the past.

Using this opportunity, she begins to correct past mistakes. There are some setbacks, but overall Twilight believes she is making the world better.

Yet as she seeks to fix the problems of her past, she will find that sometimes past mistakes are exactly what our future needs.

For those wondering about continuity with events in the show, chronologically, I'd say the events take place just before the episode Filli Vanilli. The basic outline of this story was actually planned out before season 4 began and much of it was written before the end of season 4.

This fiction was featured on Dec. 9, 2014 - Now that's a great Hearth's Warming present. Thanks guys.

This story is a sequel to Dear Princess Celestia

It has been three months and fourteen days of silence from Princess Celestia. Twilight has suffered from insomnia, anxiety, depression, and malnutrition. Spike and her friends have tried everything they could think of to get her to spend time with them or take a break outside. Nothing has worked and just when everything seems hopeless, a letter arrives. A letter from Princess Celestia, though something seems a bit off.

It was a night just like the one before, Spike was cleaning and Twilight was studying and beginning another letter to Celestia. Another letter detailing something she had learned, another letter that asked the princess questions, another letter that went unanswered.

One night, a filly and her sister are surviving by their wits. They go to sleep and suddenly awaken in a whole different world. Actually, Celestia finds herself in a new situation where the Pony Tribes get along with each other. They all seem to think she is a princess. Plus everypony is extremely over protective of her well being. The beginnings of an awkward situation Celestia may not have mind as much.

Except her baby sister, Luna, is missing!
