After Discord and Tirek's rampage, Celestia's insecurities begins to take over after multiple recent failures and she questions her effectiveness as a ruler on her way to address the concerns of Equestria's citizens.

We trusted Him. We thought he had changed, but in the end he betrayed us all...

Luna has been Banished, and Celestia must rule Equestria alone, while Learning to deal with to fact that she sent he sister away, and feeling that it's her fault.

Celestia searches a ruined city for supplies after the end of the world.

What if only one person were to fill the world? With this story, I fully express the feelings associated with the perfect world and how it all is not as perfect as one would think.

Princess Celestia visits a place she's not seen for centuries; a place where no living pony has set hoof for thousands of years.

"She is our Shield, the benevolent protector of all ponykind. This was not always so. She was once a ghost, unfortunate enough to be forged anew in the fires of fate, and cursed to bear a sharpened edge that our foes would do well to beware."

Spiritual companion to Pest Control.
Review by the magnanimous PaulAsaran!

When Celestia banished her sister to the Moon with the power of Harmony, she swore that she would never allow anything so terrible to happen to Equestria ever again.

Harmony, unfortunately, saw fit to grant her wish.

Inspired by Pegasus Rescue Brigade's Infallible.
Unconnected to my main story, Dusk.

Celestia, bored from her centuries-long routine of the same, stagnant thing day in and day out, snaps, causing the Princess of the Sun to make a few drastic changes to her life. A few drastic changes that might not be such a good thing for Equestria...

Now with reading by TheCaptainSand - Scarlett Blade

Today you wake up and things are a little different than you expected. Instead of your bed, you're lying in a mountain clearing. Instead of your normal face, a stranger looks back at you in the stream's reflection. You remember everything about your life and your loved ones... everything except what happened last night that led you to... this.

This is a story of just such a pony. First told from the perspective of the ponies she meets in the first few days after the event and then again from her perspective. Together they tell of a pony who doesn't seek greatness, only answers.

This story is based in 1000 year old Canterlot and involves some of the ponies who wielded the Elements of Harmony during the banishment of Nightmare Moon (according to The Real Story fan fiction comic on Youtube and Deviantart). Reading those is NOT necessary, but will give some background into some of the side characters in the story (link if you want it: http://nimaru.deviantart.com/art/Gathering-Elements-Rook-267204706)

Something is wrong with the included illustrations and I don't know what! I've sent a message to Imgur to see if they can help me figure it out since it seems to be on their end. Until then, the story is also posted on my Deviantart page with pictures intact here: http://nimaru.deviantart.com/art/A-Second-Chance-Chapter-1-346684809
