As the Cakes make a very special gingerbread house the act reminds them of their lives together; hinting at those they loved, challenges they faced, and the struggles that continue even after lovers say "I do"...

A forgotten manuscript reveals an odd journey purportedly undertaken by Lord Dunsany, a Promethean explorer of the Lands of Dream. While the manuscript has yet to be authenticated, its contents are interesting enough to merit my posting them here.

Thanks to Estee and Humanoid for their assistance in preparing this transcription, and their invaluable advice.

During pregnancy, one goes through a wide range of emotions due to the hormones going crazy in the body. Sometimes, these emotions might linger on one longer than others, and for Pinkie this is depression. What is her husband to do with his party mare being unable to go through a day without crying? Throw her the best party ever of course!

It won't last.
I know it, so does she.
Comfort for the moment, turmoil for eternity.
But seek I the peace of the moment, for in there I shall find respite.

A short story on the romance between Celestia and Sombra, set in the alternate universe of the reflections arc.

Oneshot of Somlestia. Named after Frank Sinatra's "Summer Wind"

Celestia's week has not been fun. First, her younger sister decides she's in no condition to rule and steals her job, then Discord disappears on her when she needs him most, and now she's stained her favorite bed sheets. Could this week get any worse?

But hey, at least that means the pregnancy's almost over. Soon, she'll be cradling her newborn baby, covering him or her with kisses and nuzzles as Luna, Twilight, and Discord watch beside her, waiting for their turn to hold. Everything'll go smoothly, her personal doctors will make sure of it. Childbirth's a breeze when you're a princess.

Right?

Like many things in the wide, wide bubble of absurdities, this should have never happened; Discord should have never wooed Applejack. But he did. And there isn't a damn thing she can do about it.

Rated "Teen" for suggestive themes and crude humor. Enjoy!
