Anonymous; the only human in Equestria, leads a mild-manner life as a simple grunt working for the Ponyville Natural History Museum. And boy, is he bored of it. The whimsy of living in Equestria has come and gone, and now it's just the same old-same old. But that all changes when the museum gets a hold of new exhibit: a draconequus statue. Surely nothing bad could possibly happen involving something like that. Right...?

Luna goes to Manehattan Comic Con in disguise, meeting and spending the day with an online friend there.

Just a quick thing I needed off my mind. Nothing fancy, just a bit of cute, and a bunch of geeking out.

While Celestia and Luna were the rulers of ponykind of many centuries, they were not the only alicorn leaders of their people's ancient past. Through the power of modern technology, they find a way to restore their father, Solaris, to be able to speak to them once more. As it turns out, this might not have been the best idea.

When Misty gave her the modern device called a phone, she thought she'd only use it to occasionally check on her foes, maybe watch some of their make up videos after all evil has to look good, and of course listen to the songs and OH THEY HAVE MERCH... this might be a problem

Sunset's favorite alley cat has always been distant, only sometimes letting her get close enough to actually pet her. Not wanting an old friend to suffer out in a terrible storm, she's determined to show her a little kindness and a better life.

“After a thousand years, it’s now considered “poor form” to be weary of one’s enemies? How embarrassing that we should placate these Griffons. We fought wars against them did we not? Does nopony remember that? Fields above, this country had fallen to the dogs!” ~ Princess Luna.

Princess Celestia is in trouble. Her little sister has returned, and with that she has brought her antiquated views of a thousand years long past along with her. Whilst some of them are excusable, some things have to change, like her blatant hatred for a certain avian species. Especially after her diplomatic mission which has gone so poorly that it threatens war in the best-case scenario. 

With the help of her Public Relations advisor, the daughter of a famous clown, and the unwanted assistance of the Prince of Chaos, the royal family must do something utterly drastic in order to save Equestria. 

All of their fates rest on an out-of-touch Alicorn of the moon and a young hatchling Lioness fresh out of the egg, with a propensity to maul faces at the drop of the hat… It does not look good. 

Special thanks to Living Madness for allowing me to use their concept.

Finally, it was here. Power Ponies issue number four-hundred and nineteen, the grand finale of the 'Spectacular Siege of the Silver Stallion' arc. Spike had completed all the chores on his list, finished his afternoon nap, and ploughed through his dinner. He'd even eaten all his green vegetables. At last he could settle down, with a small bowl of gems to snack on, and experience the most anticipated comic issue in living memory.

Sadly for him, Twilight was acting strange. At least, stranger than usual.

For context, set prior to the events of the Season 4 Finale 'Twilight's Kingdom'.

Princess Celestia sets out to reform Queen Chrysalis. Easier said than done.

I've done too much dark and serious stuff with Chrysalis. It's time to have some fun with her playful, snarky side.

There are stories which define us. Stories that inspire us. And there are stories that damn us.

These are the Old Stories, tales from before the dawn of Equestria.

Luna realizes that her sister has become something of both an idol and a symbol of Equestria since she was -ahem- on forced leave. In fact, Celestia has, perhaps, become the biggest figure in Equestrian history. The moon princess decides that she's going to use her skills in the artsy fartsy to make sure her sister remains the 'biggest' for decades to come by submitting her latest piece to the Professionals' Equestrian Art Contest.
