Mis-communication has started many a war, but in this case maybe calling it a war was too generous.

The "war" is over, Twilight has successfully orchestrated a bloodless end to the Griffons' aggression, but only now does she realize that there is more to winning than she had first assumed, especially against a nation that holds war as a central part of their culture...

Now Twilight must deal with the aftermath while facing a challenge she never anticipated: being seen as a conqueror.

This can be read alone, but I recommend reading the letter that started it all for a chuckle and a little exposition. This series of expositional one-shots can also give some additional world-building.

In response to threats of a griffon attack on Equestria, Twilight responds with a letter detailing just why such actions would prove unfavorable for them.

On her six month anniversary of becoming a princess, Celestia decides to send Twilight a book as a present. Being her curious self, Twilight opens the book and reads it almost immediately after receiving it. But not long after starting the first chapter, she discovers a word she hasn't seen before. The only problem is that this particular word isn't in the dictionary. Every time she says this particular word, a loud bleep is heard and a large black box appears over the pony's mouth. She runs to her friends to solve this mystery, and censorship ensues. She also goes a little insane. Okay, a LOT insane.

Whoa... a thousand views? A hundred likes? That's awesome! Thank you guys so much for all the positive feedback (and the criticism, I appreciate that too!)

Rated teen for language. Even if it is censored.

On the eve of the Coexistence Carnival - one of the most important celebrations in the world, where each and every kingdom comes together one night in peace to celebrate unity - Celestia (and Luna, I guess) accidentally reveals a secret about themselves.

Or, rather, reveals an accidental secret.

Rated teen because of one utterance of the f-word and one utterance of the b-word.

*Edit*
Wow! What a great response! I also went through it and changed a few wrong words here and there, an awkward sentence at another spot. Nothing major.

I can't believe this got featured! Celebration!

After being summoned to a meeting with Wonderbolt Commander Spitfire, Rainbow Dash finally learns the truth about why she has been passed over by the Wonderbolts all this time. A little bit of Rainbowfire.

Fluttershy loves her son, but it's been rough raising him. There are those who have always seen him as a threat. Who mock and make fun of him. They see him as nothing but an abomination.

It hurts her to know that there are ponies out there who do this to her son. It hurts even worse when one of those ponies was one of her friends.

***Warning: Spoilers in comments***

Adjustments made in the story due to some criticism that I've received. Hopefully it will help it a bit more :)

Being subtle isn't Rainbow Dash's strong suit. At all. So when Applejack asks her point blank what she thinks of Rarity, she doesn't hold back.

Not her best idea.

Finally, after years of begging, Celestia gives Twilight permission to access the Forbidden Wing of the Royal Library, a wing so secret even the other princesses can't access it. Twilight rushes to Canterlot, excited for the research potential.

Then she finds those books…

(There's an FAQ here. Please read that before commenting.)

Shining Armor has been infected by a Changeling poison that threatens to destroy his magic or worse. When Twilight and her family are tested to see if they could be potential horn marrow donors, an old family secret is brought to life.

Sundays are always special for her; but, through the thick and thin, this was most certainly Rarity's best Sunday ever.
