This story is a sequel to Past Sins

When pursuing Starlight, Twilight and Spike experienced variances of Equestria, and saw how the river of time could have been different. Now, Starlight has moved in with Twilight, Nyx, and Spike and has begun her studies in friendship. To thank those who have helped her embrace friendship once more, Starlight has created an enchantment that allows the castle’s map table to let anyone glimpse other variances of reality.

The power to ask “what if,” can be a source of great amusement… but for some, the hypotheticals are haunting reminders of what could have been.

Teleportation. It is the best possible way to travel... As long as you don't think about it too much. As long as you don't ask where Twilight goes in that split second when she's neither here nor there.

The sound I listened to as I wrote it, available to you in order to give you the option of having the same atmosphere.

No relation to the other story with the same name, just a coincidence of both picking the same excellent title. I was unaware that the other one existed.

There's an old book that's falling apart. Twilight wants to copy it down to preserve it. But it needs to be as accurate and precise as possible, to preserve the state of the original. That shouldn't be too hard. After all, it's not like the text will change whenever she looks away.

Right?

Long ago, the founders of Equestria built a magical portal on sacred ground, hiding their greatest secret on the other side. Generations of leaders stepped through the portal so that they might emerge as the equal of their forebears.

Celestia and Luna were the last to enter. For a thousand years, the portal lay forgotten, its purpose lost.

Luna thinks it is time that Twilight learn what it means to rule.

Centuries have passed since Twilight Sparkle became a princess of Equestria. Yet her rule came at a great cost, and long after her friends have gone she lives on. That lonely fact has been slowly killing her, yet she has always stuck by the ideals she and her friends once stood for. One meeting could challenge that however, and make her wonder whether or not she can truly call herself the princess of friendship.

Pinkie invites Sweetie Belle over for some fun.
Little does Sweetie suspect that Pinkie has a different kind of fun in mind
... little does Pinkie suspect that this might be harder than she assumed.

Yes, this is a cross-over based on Sergeant Sprinkle's infamous fanfic "Cupcakes" and "Friendship is Witchcraft"'s Sweetie Bot. Expect stupid jokes that only programmers will get.

Rated teen for naughty things being referred to non-explicitly. This is just to be safe. It does not contain any blood or real sexy-time.

The Realm of Chaos. A bewildering, distorted mess of a place, where black is white, up is down, short is long, and the laws of physics sometimes forget to exist. Someplace only the bravest, boldest of ponies would dare to go. And yet, this pony not only goes there, but does so so frequently it has become routine. This is just one of their many, many journeys.

Celestia has gotten fed up of all the letters coming in, day by day-- or the citizens coming in to ask her-- about what she will and won't allow. How do you get rid of that?

It seems, by writing a long, long list that tells them what's what.

Rated T for slight mentions.

I am taking suggestions.

Celestia's child is a long-awaited thing, something that would only have happened if Celestia's rule was weakening. But Baby Tia is different to her mother in more than just a cutie mark.

Luna's child is a suprise, but she is focused on the stars when discord reigns below.

Discord's child is the opposite of her father.
