Everything should be all fun and games in Ponyville, but it's not. Not for you anyway. Not anymore. You've been noticing a lingering shadow following you, a strange ominous shape, and it's driving you to the brink of madness now. It's almost like this strange being wants to remind you of something that you desperately don't want to remember...

Contains Anon, not a comedy.

After the debacle at Nightmare Night, Celestia decides to help Luna learn how to speak properly in the modern age. Unfortunately, conflicts start to arise, and Celestia discovers that how her sister speaks may not be the only problem.

Contains ponies, some Early-Modern English, sisterly humor and bonding, the occasional d'aww, and some feels.

Special thanks to Prane, for featuring this in his Boosterification!

Featured 2/24/16!! Thank you to all of my readers! Being featured for even a little bit was more than I ever hoped for.

Morning Breeze. A mare in the esteemed royal guard. Certainly not a rarity, but still it's an accomplishment nonetheless. She has served the night guard to the best of her ability, and though never personally standing guard around her princess, she takes great pride in her duty. So when she learns that she is to be reassigned to make way for the return of the Lunar guard, naturally, she is a bit upset. Especially considering the Lunar guard is made up of thestrals, bat ponies of ancient times that disappeared after the fall of Nightmare Moon. Her irritation at being replaced by, thestrals, of all creatures, has her frustrated. But a chance encounter in the halls of Canterlot castle may reveal more than what she perceives.

Once upon a time, there was a young unicorn who was scarred and battered by the cruel world until he was forced to retreat behind the walls of a solitary life as a bitter and spiteful creature. As he grew up, he remained a lonely recluse, with only his best friend for occasional companionship.

Until one day when he found something the world had treated even more callously and cruel than himself. She was a changeling, badly wounded and crushed until she hung onto life by a slender thread. The only chance she had for surviving her injuries was love, but that was no chance at all, for she was a monster in pony society.

And who could ever love a beast.

What if Soarin had not been as forgiving as he was when he found out his team had lied to him and tried to replace him for the Equestria games? What would his life be like if he were to up and quit the Wonderbolts, and where could this life-altering choice lead him?

What exactly was Luna up to during her time in exile? Adventure, that's what! From battling stardrakes, space-pirates, and her own shattered psyche, the banished Princess must strive to endure upon the rocky, bleached surface of the moon...and beyond. Lucky for her the moon isn't as lifeless as some might think.

I would know. I live there!

Power. Notoriety. Money. Drugs. Mares. Fear. Weapons. Racing chariots. Blood. Respect.

This is the tale of how one little colt inherits the largest criminal organization in the history of Equestria, and manages to turn the underworld on its head...

A collaborative effort between the Esteemed Scholar of Debauchery, Mister Moniker, and myself. If that wasn't motivation enough, you are sad and I no longer wish to speak with you.

Stalwart Drone has been a Night Guard for a little over two years, and now he's being reassigned to the Crystal Empire, forced to leave his home and his talent behind only to have to readjust to living up in the frozen north.

Ruby Swift, conversely, has been in Equestria for most of her life, and recently she's taken a... darker look on life.

Forced to live in the same house as one another, the unlikely duo are going to have to live with what they fear.
At least, for now anyway.
