Shining Armor is an eager young officer in the Royal Guard, fresh out of the West Hoof Military Academy. When his mother asks him to help family friend Vinyl Scratch deal with an overenthusiastic admirer, he jumps at the chance to aid a damsel in distress. Perhaps he'd have second thought if he knew just how much of a mess he would be getting himself into...

It has been a year since I last saw her when she appeared on my doorstep, strangeness in her eyes and a mumbling under her voice.

She asked for my help to investigate a peculiar object, which once held an odd ancient magic. But it's benign now, she said.

It's benign now.

Twilight accidentally steps on a snail. This makes her sad. As the years go on, several other things happen.

I thought this was my first story rated 'everyone', but it isn't. It kind of is though? Anyway.

Every morning, Princess Celestia wakes up in terrible pain, and every morning, she chooses to endure it. Until one blissful day grants her the blessing of feeling normal.

Few things in her life have ever frightened her so much.

Now translated into Russian.

Minuette and I have got to be the absolute best friends in all of Equestria. Or at least we thought so... before running into Lyra and Bon Bon.

Sunset Shimmer has always been a hot-headed, impetuous girl. She's always been prone to making snap decisions, and later finding herself regretting them. It was exactly this temperament that had brought her to the human world, penniless and alone. When the opportunity to get back on her feet presented itself in the form of a stranger's outstretched hand, she leaped at the chance.

This is the story of a woman who has made many bad choices, and the life those choices have made for her.

Tags, and even rating, may change as the story goes on.

Thanks as usual to Magello for the cover art!

This story is a sequel to Sunset Shimmer Lends Pinkie Pie the Wrong Thumb Drive

Sunset Shimmer visits the Castle of Friendship, and inadvertently discovers something that Twilight would normally keep hidden under her bed... except that since this is a pony princess we're talking about, it's obviously nothing remotely resembling normal.

Rated Teen and Sex for discussions of pornography and self-love.

With nowhere left to go, the Great and Powerful Trixie finds herself returning to Canterlot, the city she tried to get away from so long ago...

Sunset and Celestia have a conversation.

Every ointment has its fly. Equestria was no exception. Envy and vanity grew in the hearts of the equestrian aristocracy after Twilight Sparkle’s coronation. In their stupidity and arrogance they did something that plunged Equestria in such chaos, that not even Discord could fathom possible. Their recklessness came at a high price however, not only for Equestria, but also their closest ally, the Crystal Empire.
Over the years, the fairytale land fell into barbarism, ignorance and cruelty, forgetting about it’s traditions. Some wanted to use this situation. Some fought against it. And then there were those, who knew that lack of adaptation meant death.
This is the story of one of them.

Translators note: The story above is an MLP/Witcher crossover, which I have the pleasure to translate. And since English is not my native language, I am aware that there might still be some grammar mistakes etc. left. If you see one - don't hesitate to point it out.
I wish everyone a pleasant read.
