Luna takes in a special interest in a pony that has lost a loved one when interrupted while visiting her old castle after watching the Wonderbolts and Shadowbolts taking in a race of acrobatics and speed.

(lays mention to Building Bridges as well since this story kinda inspired by the fanfiction.)

There are only two ponies not joining in on Rainbow's break down. One's a stoic, so the reason is obvious. But what about the Princess of Friendship? Isn't empathy in her job description? And not a single tear.
From Season 5 Episode 5, "Tanks for the Memories."

Yes, I know it's late. As always, your criticism and praise is welcome in equal measure. I do mention shipping, but I think you'll quite like it.
There's also a tiny bit of swearing because in my head canon Twilight would use it for the sake of hyperbole.

I have a video review! Yes, I did watch it, Yes, I know it says don't read it, and frankly you should listen to him! YouTube
Frankly I'm surprised anybody thinks this is good. As mentioned in a tiny blog blurb, I don't plan on revisiting this story because I have other terrible crap to write. I'm sorry for subjecting the internet to this.
But if you think this is bad, just be grateful I don't publish the droll I wrote in High School.

When Luna was banished to the moon, what exactly happened up there? A lot can change in a millenia. A lot can happen. We know what happened down here, but what happened up there, where nopony could see. What happened in the last few decades before her return, when she was just an old mare's tale?

Was she Luna? Was she Nightmare Moon? Or was she something in between?

Could she live with herself if she was?

Okay. Random? Yes. Premeditated Random? Sorta.
Enjoy. Not my usual writing style, so tear this one apart.

After years of gathering magical artifacts and assorted doohickeys, Trixie feels it's finally time to open up her own shop. The only problem is that she's located right across the street from The Golden Oaks Library, much to the annoyance of Ponyville's resident librarian-turned-princess. Luckily none of the stuff Trixie is selling is cursed, or so she's telling ponies.

Fed up with the way the political elite are handling the ruling of Equestria, Trixie decides that it's time for a change of pace. She decides it's time to overthrow Celestia.

Celestia decides it's time to have a little fun.

You guys can thank Razgriz (and the latest Seattle's Angels post) for this one.

Not long after the failed changeling invasion of Canterlot, Queen Chrysalis and one of her subjects go to the small town of Ponyville, trying to regain their past glory, which they so humiliatingly lost.

If only Queen Chrysalis would explain her plan.

Written for Equestria Daily's fifth flash fiction event.

Her Royal Highness, Princess Luna, is trying to catch up on lost sleep. She deserves it, after all the hard work she's put in to keep the city of Canterlot safe. Now she can turn the lights down, slip into bed, and finally get some rest.

If only Canterlot weren't under attack by the endless swarms of the Changeling army...

Queen Chrysalis believes she has just written her magnum opus.

Her editor, Crystal Night, disagrees.

It had seemed like a good idea at the time, until Sunset actually read what Twilight wrote in her letter. She'd already said yes to seeing Celestia again, and she wouldn't go back on her word. As long as she remained convinced that this was a good idea and that it would all end well, she could get through it without a problem.

Hearth's Warming Eve.

For the ponies of Equestria, it is a time of giving and great joy, but for little Rose Aphid it could be the last day of her life. For you see, Rose is an outcast female changeling, and it has been a long time since she has felt love or kindness.

With time running out, her journey takes her to the most unlikely of places in search of love.

The first story in the Life of a Rose.
