There's few better ways for Twilight Sparkle to spend a lazy weekend afternoon than propped up against the pillows on her bed, with her girlfriend resting on her body and reading her a story. Sure, she may have left her glasses out of reach, but that hardly matters when all her sensations are focused on Sunset's voice and body anyway.

Of course, Sunset might have an easier time reading if her partner would stop giving her little teases. But where's the fun in that?

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 Celestia humiliates her at a dinner, Luna storms off and ends up snooping around in her sister's room. There, she stumbles upon the journal Celestia kept immediately after the banishment of Nightmare Moon.

Featured on Equestria Daily on August 22, 2013.

A year after her return Princess Luna begins to grow tired of the day in day out nature of her new court life. Seeking advice she brings it up to her older sister during their daily "changing of the guard".
Note: This story takes place around the time of season 5 of Friendship is Magic, but before the events of "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?"

A very simple, one shot story. I really wanted to write something involving best pony Luna and her sister. And so this was born.

Twilight and Sunset have been dating for months and practically live together already. Which makes it increasingly awkward that Twilight's family doesn't even know she is in a relationship yet.
Something that is quickly and easily resolved and clearly no grounds for panic.

Sunset Shimmer was a pony that always had her destiny in her control… but that was before. Now, trapped for months in a world where she no longer has magic, no longer has a plan and no longer even has her own body, she's lost. She found an unexpected lifeline, however, when she showed up at the Crumbles/Flanks residence, desperate for help, and formed a close bond with a human around her own age, Rarity.

Having lived together for several months, Rarity has grown to consider Sunset a sister, even as Sunset feels hesitant about the moniker. Shortly before the start of the school year, Rarity brings Sunset along on an annual camping trip, hosted by Applejack and Big Mac, hoping to better acquaint Sunset with her friends. But one morning, Rarity awakes to find Sunset, sleepless and distraught, struggling with concerns and fears she doesn't understand... as the specter of destiny continues to loom large in the former unicorn's mind.

And it's up to Rarity to provide some much-needed comfort.

Set in an alternate universe in which the timeline diverges after Sunset leaves Equestria. This story also deviates from the depiction of Sunset's past as portrayed in the comic The Fall of Sunset Shimmer. Chronologically, it takes place after the events of The Final Conversation, though reading that story is not a requirement.

Minor Note: My stories generally treat Canterlot High School as a 7-12 school to justify the Cutie Mark Crusaders/Canterlot Movie Club being there in the main films. Keep that in mind if you notice some odd-looking age math in there; at the time of the story, Rarity and Sunset are about to start 9th grade (freshman year).

THIS IS A RE-WRITE OF MY OTHER STORY UNDER THE SAME TITLE

Instead of fleeing to the human realm, Sunset decides to talk to Celestia, thus causing her to stay in Equestria. As she continues her studies, Celestia gets a new student.

The young purple prodigy, Twilight Sparkle!

Celestia tasks her with something she is not too keen about: taking care of Twilight. All Sunset wants to do is study magic with Celestia, so why does she have to do something so annoying? However, Sunset will soon learn that life isn't just all about magic and learning.

Rated "Teen" because of themes, language, and a bit of violence. Sex tag because of raunchy/steamy innuendos. Violence tag because of light descriptions of violence and injuries.

We all have to make decisions, sometimes difficult decisions with serious consequences, but which we think are necessary for the good of all, and with no other possible solution. But sometimes, another way existed before having to make this decision…

This is my second story, published in June 2015.

Principal Celestia had always looked up to Miss Harshwhinny. The stern, professional woman was the rock of the school. They were friends, even though they never met outside of work.

Until the day Harshwhinny invited her to dinner.

Life goes by pretty fast. Sometimes we forget to stop and smell the roses. Sometimes we forget what's really important.

Not trees though. Trees never forget. It's a shame they don't have voices to remind us.
