This story is a sequel to MLA: Perihelion

It's been a handful of years since Twilight came into her own as a Princess of Equestria, a few years spent in peace and harmony without so much as an angry spirit or clandestine invasion to take away from the tranquility of Equestrian life. Unprecedented developments in the technological and thaumaturgical sciences seem to be preparation for something, though nopony realizes what that something might be.

Nopony except the Princesses, who have not failed to see the signs of impending disaster that began with the mass kidnappings just following the Summer Sun Celebration. When all their preparations are turned upside down, can an alliance with the mysterious Precursors turn the tides of the most devastating war in Equestrian history, while there is still anything left to save? Enemies and allies appear in the most unlikely of places, and friendship with a dying elder race can be more dangerous than an invasion of Dragons and Changelings. What is a pony willing to give in defense of harmony? What are they willing to sacrifice?

This story now has a companion piece, The Sunset Campaign! This story is designed to bring Harmony Defended more into line with the three-story version of My Little Apprentice. If you read Apogee and Perihelion, you may want to read that as well!

This story was written prior to season five, and as such any events which transpire therein may or may not be treated as canonical. All events up to and including "Twilight's Kingdom" are treated as having occurred, however.

A huge thanks to my Alpha Readers! Thanks to these wonderful people, new chapters aren't nearly so riddled with mistakes and errors as they used to be. Thanks to Sparktail, TwoBit, Withered Pyre, and Zutcha. Zutcha of course deserves double the love, since he's also the artist of the cover and any other fantastic art that finds its way into the story.

When Scootaloo moves to Ponyville, she meets a certain cyan pegasus who becomes her idol. Things go well until a pivotal event causes her hopes and dreams to come crashing down around her. Broken and betrayed, Scootaloo must learn to accept her reality and embrace her inner strength with the help of her father and two best friends.

[Now with a super awesome reading by Neighrator Pony.]
[This story's sequel can be found here.]

A changeling who finds responsibility thrust upon her after the failed Canterlot invasion.

A unicorn who finds herself part of first contact with a strange new creature.

A princess who finds hints of one she long since lost in another's mind.

With the arrival of a strange bipedal creature into Equestria, all three will find themselves intertwined with the fate of the girl. When language cannot be understood how will communication with the new arrival be achieved, and what secrets may the creature be bringing with her? What does the girl possess that may alter how the changeling in particular sees the world.

What could the girl possibly have that would allow one word – hope – to resonate so strongly, not only for herself but also the changeling.

This is a retelling of A Voice Among the Strangers from three viewpoints in particular. You don't have to read AVAtS to read this one, as I will be attempting to make each a full story on their own.

Also, this seems to share a Tv Tropes page with A Voice Among the Strangers!

This story is a sequel to Dashaloo Days: Angry Flight Training

I recommend reading the first two stories first to understand how Dash and Scootaloo got to this point.

Twiligeddon is coming... but the only pony who can save us all is cluelessly being tossed around by the whims of fate, and she can't even fly yet! Impossible choices, spirit breaking challenges, and harsh demands riddle Scootaloo's training on her journey to reach her dreams. Hopefully, Dash can keep her alive long enough to meet her destiny...

In the meantime... Celestia is wrestling with demons of her own by trying to answer a nearly impossible question from Twilight that drove her dearest student on an insane quest to rectify Celestia's most grievous past mistake. Can Celestia keep Twilight alive after she meets her destiny? Lines have been crossed, and there's no going back now! Well, in Celestia's case, at least there's no going back again...

Warning: Scootaloo changes physically and emotionally. There is some parts that can be considered Scootabuse during painful training sessions, tests, and now with 200% more really horrible nightmares as she pushes herself past her limits. Mild blood, but nothing gory.

I started writing this during season 3, but I'm trying to keep it universal. Sadly, the treebrary is gone. So, obviously this story takes place before that horned douche Tyrek blew it up.

I like to use a lot of comedic moments in my stories to contrast the more serious moments. It's meant to be a dramatically sad story, but expect some laughs and an appropriate amount of awkwardness.
