This story is a sequel to The Longest Night

As her twenty-first birthday dawns, Twilight Sparkle finds her simple life turned upside down. While her birthright forces itself into her life, Twilight also has to deal with the arrival of three Alicorns. No pony knows where they came from or what they want, and the Alicorns seem intent on keeping themselves and their purposes hidden. To uncover the truth, Twilight will set sail for distant, ancient lands with old and new friends.

Princess Celestia has finally decided to introduce her two prized pupils to each other, hoping that together they'll finally start to appreciate the beauty and magic of friendship. Sunset may be proud and brash, and Twilight might be obsessive and oblivious at times, but surely they'll get along fine, right?

They'll go above and beyond that in time, but the road they'll take to get there is a rocky one.

There's a problem at the Pie Quarry. One that Sunset Shimmer is uniquely equipped to handle.

Dealing with magic is easy. Dealing with cute quiet girls is too, but to solve this one, Sunset is going to need to dig deep. Real deep.

Maud Pie is evil. Maud Pie is scarily hyper-competent. And Maud Pie has been plotting for years on how to take the Equestrian throne by conquest.

Fortunately for Equestria, she's still obsessed with rocks.

T rating is for a heavily sexually suggestive scene.

Being a Princess is exhausting. Royally exhausting. Everyday, it feels like Twilight wanted nothing more than to get away from the world.

Not like doing so was hard. In fact, she made visits to the human world whenever she could to visit her boyfriend of a few years, Flash Sentry; he was one of the few things that kept her sane.

Yet, deep down, she knows it can't go on forever. Can she really break both of their hearts for the sake of her status as a princess?

Contains Flashlight shipping, meaning sappy romantic dorks. You've been warned.

Spike the dragon always had trouble speaking with matters of the heart to anyone. But because of his hesitation, his aunt Luna finds it in her heart to help him win the love of a smartass pegasus...maybe he's better off going to see his cousin, Cadance next time instead?

Co-authored with CaioCoia, thanks for the help my friend. Not edited though, sorry.

Luna and Twilight. Once they were good friends. Now they'll discover together a higher and more strong feeling. Love.They never had this experience before. How will they handle this kind of magic? How will others react to this? Will this magic spread among the little group of friends? But they all know that it will change the courses of their whole lives.
Special credits goes to my editor and friend brony 4ever for his amazing work.

With Twilight Sparkle still adjusting to life as a princess, Rarity becomes convinced she can help her friend by finding her a special somepony. And when that somepony turns out to be Fluttershy, awkward dates and adorable moments are sure to follow!

Spike has never gotten a taste of real love before. Now, at long last, he's found that Starlight Glimmer loves him so madly and deeply that she wants them to be together all the time. Just the two of them. True, she gets a little possessive, but that's just how you show someone you care, right?

WARNING: Contains Yandere, slight meta, and threats of violence.

Done as a commission for Midnight Radiance, who has a wonderfully twisted sense for love stories.

Beautiful art by Thunder Chaser. Will take down if requested.

The Mane-iac has a reason, a method to her madness, and one that will shock the Mane Si-er, the Power Ponies to their core.

Because it's not exactly evil, and aren't we all crazy when we're in love?
