In the ruins of a world, the last god contemplates Happiness, and how it broke us all.

--

Written for Hypnosis and Mind Control's Story Theme Roulette.

Twilight wanted it done her way. She was prepared for this. Elements. Guards. Scholars. Books. All the information. The plan seemed foolproof. Sombra should have been stomped into the ground.

Nothing went as planned.

Now she's back at Canterlot and has to report to the Princess, analyze the events and deduce the reasons of her failure. And receive her punishment, some would say unreasonably light - but she learns to know better.

Celestia is trapped on Earth.
Not as a human. Not as an alicorn. She's a common horse, an Arabian mare, without her magic, voice, knowledge of the language - not even freedom, forced to work at a riding school.

What can a single Arabian mare do to get back to Equestria from this backwater European country? With only the mind of a princess and a pencil in her teeth, Celestia must find a way home.

There comes a time in every life where parents have to watch their children grow up and become something great. For Twilight Velvet and Night Light, this is no exception as their daughter Twilight Sparkle is to become a princess of Equestria. But, they must always remember that Twilight will forever be their daughter, no matter what position she holds.

Princess Cadence may have married Shining Armor, the stallion of her dreams and is now ruler of the Crystal Empire, but the events of the Changeling Invasion haunt her to a point where it concerns all those who care deeply about her. Now Shining Armor, Twilight and her aunts must help her confront her fears and put them to rest forever.

In the prequel to Unwanted Guests, Celestia, Luna, Cadence and Twilight hold an emergency summit over how to deal with Tirek and how to better protect Equestria from future attacks similar to Tirek's.

Following his defeat by Twilight and her friends, Tirek is visited in Tartarus by some unwanted guests: the four alicorn princesses he tried to overthrow.

*Feedback is strongly recommended.

We all know Celestia is the Princess of the Day, but there is a side to Celestia that nopony has ever seen, until now...

*Inspired by an answer to a question that was asked to Celestia's voice actress, Nicole Oliver, at Everfree Northwest 2015 in Seattle, WA and written at Super Speedy Cider Con 2015 in Knoxville, TN.

Sunset Shimmer was Celestia's top student until she betrayed her. Now she has escaped to the world through the mirror. However, instead of her becoming the tyrant queen of Canterlot High, an accident happens on the first day there, causing her to lose her memories. Now an amnesic Sunset Shimmer is alive in the human world, not knowing what her goal in life is or where's she from. The question is: Is this a good thing or will she still become a demon anyways?
