Stargazing. Nowadays it's a great pasttime. Thousands of years ago? Not so much.

And Luna doesn't like that.

Amazing what my muse comes up with on the fly.

Enjoy.

Princess Celestia is due for an informal visit with Twilight and her friends, but Pinkie Pie seems to be acting even more strange than usual. What is she up to, and will Twilight find out before it's too late?

I was really striving for an "almost like watching a new episode!" feel with this fic, and I hope it shows.

The Griffin empire has gone too far this time. I mean, they can't even spell their own name in the proper Equestrian way! Frustrated with treaties and negotiations that go nowhere, Princess Celestia decides to blow off a little steam the only way she knows how -- bashing in her plates with her sister.

Princess Celestia went out for a stroll to a coffee shop. The next morning, she is single-hoofedly destroying the coffee industry.

How?

No really, how?

Princess Celestia wants to teach her Faithful Student, the young Twilight Sparkle, the magic that the night sky holds. In an empty field that stretches on in every direction for miles, where there's no light to obscure or pollute the sky, the stars have as much of a voice as either of the ponies do.

Can you engineer an eclipse to order? You can if you know the right princess and ask nicely.

She is the sun. The day, the light, the waking, the Alpha.

She is the moon. The night, the dark, the sleep, the Omega.

In another time they would have been enemies. So sometimes it's hard to remember that they're sisters.

On the Density of Alicorn Skulls: A sharp blow to the head can do odd things to one's personality. This is particularly problematic if the victim in question is a widely respected leader of her people.
On the Classification of Divinity: In some other worlds where magic exists, the inhabitants have attempted to quantify the different levels of godhood. Unfortunately, it is not a perfect system, and the Princesses have never been ones to flaunt their absurd levels of power.

This is a series of unrelated one-shots focused around Celestia, who remains one of my favourite ponies. It's marked completed, since there won't be a continuing narrative going between all of the shorts. It will continue to see updates though, since I have plenty more ideas for the Princess!

Now available in Spanish!

After Twilight receives flawless marks on her exams, Princess Celestia rewards her with a visit to her private garden. Contains filly Twilight and Momlestia.
