This story is a sequel to Carapace of Lavender

With Chrysalis in her endless sleep, Twilight is left to carry the burden of the Hive. Something she does magnificently.
First and foremost is making sure her hive can survive. Then, it's reestablishing peace with Equestria. And lastly, reversing the curse even those satiated with love in their degenerated state.
Nobody said it was going to be easy.

Also known as, the Twilight.
I feel like this story doesn't need much of a description. After DJ Valkyri-3 I wanted to write more cutesy romance and see if I couldn't squirm my way back into ponified. Saw the picture and, well, this happened.
Also, I never really see Twilestia from Celestia's point of view. It's always form Twilight's or an omniscient view so I thought I'd try it out. Turns out it's really fun to write!
Enjoy!

Added the sex tag for chapter 2 specifically, but unless insinuations without real descriptions and raunchiness with a dose of lewd iconography rubs you the wrong way then it's perfectly safe. It's still nowhere near needing the mature tag.

Twilight Sparkle keeps writing letters to Celestia, but she never sends them.  When Rainbow Dash swipes one of them, Twilight is desperate to get it back.  Will she succeed, or will Celestia read one of her letters at last?

A bit of TwiLestia with a dash of comedy on the side.

Editing by the excellent Jordanis.

Twilight's been almost alone for a thousand years, and in a desperate attempt to bring her friends back, intentionally unseals Discord, Spirit of Chaos, from his stone slumber.

He's in for some nasty surprises, since she's changed quite a bit over the years...

It is Heartswarming Eve, and filly Twilight Sparkle wants to stay at the empty castle with Princess Celestia, refusing to go home with her parents even after the monarch has sent all the staff back to their families. But why?

Twilight's answer leaves Celestia contemplating all the ways that make the lavender unicorn so special.

One thousand years ago, Luna was taken over by Nightmare Forces and sent to the moon. She left her sister, their parents and a two week old daughter behind.

Now the seal is about to break and Nightmare Moon will be free once more. Will Twilight be able to free her mother from the Nightmare's grasp?

*WARNING* The Prologue has a death scene in it. I haven't selected the "Death" tag because the description isn't graphic at all . . . and there is none of that in the rest of the story.

If the author asks, I will take it down.

This story is a sequel to From the Ashes

Crystarium went alone in her Queen's place, temporarily banished to the primordial Abyss. The place where memories go to be forgotten. Her prize is the Angel known as Efialtis, the progenitor of both the Changeling race and their curse. She can't let her queen or her hive down, and she can't let herself down.

This is a sidestory parallel to We Rise and it is strongly recommended you read From the Ashes first, but it is not required. It is also not required to read this to follow the story in We Rise.

This story is a sequel to From the Ashes

The Hive hidden in the Scarred Forest, officially dubbed the 'Scarred City' by its allies, has already changed twice in recent memory. The first time was when Chrysalis reached out to Equestria for peace and Twilight Sparkle joined their family. The second was when Twilight Sparkle ascended to the throne and changed things for the better. Now, as the queen finally opens their eyes, the whole world will see how they will change. For better or for worse.

This story is a sequel to The Fallen Age

Long ago, before the rise of Equestria, long before the Three Tribes Era even, Equus grew and prospered under the rule of the seemingly immortal Empress Cosmos. For two thousand years, she and her five Exarchs guided the many races of the world into a better future.

And then, she vanished, and her name and all she had done was forgotten.

Ten thousand years have passed since that night. Her Exarchs have not been seen in millennia, and the few who do know of that time think they died long ago.

The civilization she helped create is now forgotten by most, destroyed in a war born of xenophobia. One that heralded the rise of the Three Tribes Era.

But now signs have begun to appear. A long-forgotten prophecy is about to be fulfilled. The once and future ruler of Equus is about to be reborn. But what does this have to do with Twilight Sparkle and the five new ponies who have just arrived in Ponyville?

Six thousand years have passed since Empress Cosmos vanished from Equus. The realm she helped build is fracturing, destroying itself in a war none can remember the reason they fight for.

Only her Exarchs remember her at all now and the dream it once was. They have retreated from the world that has forgotten them and have families of their own.

But in the aftermath of the Breaking of the World, Amber will find a reason to hope again, and a distant dream of a better future is born.

A friend long gone has come home, and now they will wait for the day they can be reunited.
