Unsettling dreams are starting to worry Princess Luna. She is positive these dreams hold an ominous portent for all of Equestria, but there is only one stallion who knows for certain the answers she seeks. King Sombra has been imprisoned again in Shadow since his defeat and the shattering of his body, but he is no less cunning and ruthless. And as Luna tries to interrogate him over time, she finds there is a softer side to the unicorn king, one nopony has seen before. But Celestia fears for her younger sister, warning Luna against Sombra's advances. Is the once-tyrant truly starting to court Princess Luna...or is she simply being used as a pawn in his plans to regain power?

Twilight Sparkle loves Princess Celestia. Princess Celestia loves Twilight Sparkle. It's a simple premise and one that's spawned a ridiculously large collab story. These are my contributions to said story, broken out and posted for my own edification (I couldn't find one of them when I needed to refer back to it) and amusement.

Prompts marked with (Flash) are written for the Twilestia Skype chat's flash prompts, found here. We get an hour for those, as opposed to the.... unlimited for regular prompts.

I shall post my prompts here after they appear in the main collabs.

Similar to The Sun and The Stars: A Twilestia Prompt Collab, this is a collection of short stories by various authors.

The key difference? We all get the same prompt and we have an hour to write. See more of the rules here. Want to contribute? Join the Skype chat group or check out the thread!

Chapter titles are that week's prompt; each author is listed and linked above their entry.

Random short stories inspired by prompts from the Twilestia is Bestia group. Enjoy Twilight and Celestia being cute and cuddly with each other.
