Almost all chapters originally written as separate entries for flash-fic blog Thirty Minute Ponies (TMP). I highly recommend a visit to TMP if you're looking for some of the best 1000-word gems in pony fiction. Many thanks to TMP for inspiring me to write!
Plan C - In which Cadance learns that Celestia is the chessmaster, and that her backup plans are the most fun of all.
Game, Set, Match - Twilight tries her hoof at arena combat. Victory or defeat, she's sure to end up a winner with this opponent.
Countdown - Luna swore she'd never do this again, but there's something about that little librarian from Ponyville that tests her resolve.
Twilight Hustle - Rarity's heard some steamy rumors about Twilight and gathers the girls to dish juicy gossip.
All the World’s a Stage - Luna had a wonderful evening with Twilight and sang her heart out about it. Oh, and she might have left the door open.
Every Morning After - Twilight and Luna shared a wonderful, magical night; unfortunately, immortal Princesses sometimes forget about thousand-year-old laws which could ruin the mood ever so slightly.
Names - Luna's had many more names and titles than "Mare in the Moon", and Twilight discovers which of them meant the most.
Great Minds Think Alike - Cadance and Celestia's plan for Twilight and Luna comes to a head, slightly off schedule.
Third Time's the Charm - Twilight's Nightmare Night costumes aren't cutting it. Now Luna's in town, and that may change her opinion on what makes a proper costume.
Monster - Ponyville's been through the ringer lately, but whose fault is it really?
Impossible - Luna's having a bad night, and Twilight came all the way to Canterlot to do something about it.
Early Observances - If you're going to interrupt Celestia's sleep, you'd better have a very good reason.
THAT Letter - Luna and Twilight have to tell Celestia how serious their relationship has become, and they decide to send a letter. Surely they couldn't disagree about how to make such a simple announcement - could they?
Your Turn - Twilight and her friends reveal some personal secrets, and Twilight's is life-changing.
Trembling Joyful Whispers- The Big Day is here for Twilight and Luna! Hear the congregation's comments as events unfold.
The Power Vested in Me- The Big Day is here, but Luna and Twilight are so very, very far from ready. Will their fears get the better of them?
Awkward - Twilight and Shining Armor have dinner with their parents along with Luna and Cadance. They'll probably wish they'd ordered takeout instead.
Absence - Luna deals with a thousand years of angst all at once; maybe she just needs a gentle helping hoof to make sense of it all.
You Were There - A quiet night between Luna and Twilight is almost derailed by a lesson in ancient mythology.
Between Sun and Moon - Luna reads a bedtime story with which she is all too familiar.
Postcards from the Edge - Twilight leaves to study abroad for three months; in her absence, Luna has a stack of mail to open.
Insert Princess T into Slot S - Twilight want to be Princess of Something. Careful what you wish for!
Ups and Downs - Newly-crowned Princess Twilight needs flying lessons. Careful whom you ask!
Amethyst Throne - Princess Twilight is pretty sure she's seen these petitioners somewhere before.
For years, Twilight Sparkle and Queen Chrysalis have been at each other's throats. Both have experienced victory over the other, and both have experienced defeat. Out of all the creatures in Equestria, none despise each other the way the pony Princess and changeling Queen do. They seemed destined to remain locked in battle forever, or at least until one is finally dead at the hooves of the other. The cruel insults, the vicious loathing, and the powerful spells that have passed back and forth between them at each meeting have become the stuff of legend.
Imagine Twilight's surprise when she finds out changelings consider this dating.
And now they're married.

Some beautiful fanart of the end of chapter three was done by Dmann892; you can see it here.
More awesome fanart, this time from chapter one.
Now with a TvTropes page (obligatory TvTropes warning goes here).
If you want a Russian translation, you can find it here.
There is now a reading of the story on Youtube, which starts here.
Important Notice: Blood is Thicker takes place before Sunset. Meanwhile, Reluctant Reunions takes place AFTER Sunset.
Why are these together? I honestly do not remember, but I suspect it's too late to fix that now. Sorry. ^^;;
Blood is Thicker:
Twilight Sparkle receives a letter out of the blue from her mother. She has left her the ages-old task of keeping their family tree updated, and hints to it being incomplete. Will she be able to discover this missing relative, or will she fail as her mother did?
"Reluctant Reunions":
Trixie assures you, no matter WHAT that infernal Twilight Sparkle says, she is NOT the Great and Powerful Trixie's sister, and that mare with her is NOT Trixie's mother!
... And most certainly of all, Trixie is not starving to death or down on her luck! She is the chosen protege of the greatest magician the world has ever know! There is no WAY that Trixie could ever be like that. None!
These works take place in the 'Sunset' universe

Although still a novice flier, Twilight has begun to feel comfortable in the sky. But when Rainbow Dash asks her to enter a flying pairs competition with her, she believes that her inexperience will only hinder her friend's chances of winning. Twilight's misgivings deepen when Rainbow learns that two old rivals will be competing as well, and her desire to win begins to drive a wedge between them. Full of doubt of her own abilities and anger toward Rainbow's fierce ambition to beat the others, will Twilight overcome these obstacles and compete with her friend, or will she quit the competition altogether?
This story was accepted by The Goodfic Bin! If you haven't been there, why not check them out once you're done here for some other great stories?
Princess Twilight Sparkle travels to an abandoned ancient castle along with the Royal Sisters in order to investigate reports of inexplicable incidents that have been taking place there, suspected to be the work of bitter spirits. However, she has no books, or almost any source of information to provide her with leads.
Almost, except for a pure white teapot.
2023 edit: I started this story 8 years ago. I'm continuing it on a whim. My writing style has changed since, but most likely I won't be redoing/tweaking/editing the original 5 chapters. Hope you enjoy anyways!
