When Twilight visits Celestia's private hall of stained-glass windows, each bearing the image of a long-gone friend, one in particular catches her eye.

Who was this pony?

Why was she so important to Celestia?

And why does she look so familiar?

Celestia has ruled over Equestria for over a millenium. Granny Smith kept a close eye on Sweet Apple Acres for centuries. Mayor Mare's tireless work kept Ponyville from collapsing into complete chaos most of the time. All of them do their best to keep their heads level in a topsy-turvy world, but even they need some time to wind down.

But how? Do they get drunk together and participate in wacky shenanigans?

In a word? Yes.

This is a side story to Letters From an Irritated Princess. Knowledge of it shouldn't be required to enjoy the story, but it can't hurt, either.

This story is a sequel to Accidents

Thirty years have passed.

Applejack and Fluttershy's twin fillies are grown mares. For twenty five years they have hated each other.
Apple Honey is the captain of the Manehatten Sharks, and has lead her team to victory after victory.
Cloud Blossom lives in Canterlot, her natural skill with sculpting has secured her name in Equestria's art galleries.
Both mares are rich and famous in their respective fields. Neither has seen the other in fifteen years. Both sacrificed a lot to get where they are today. Maybe too much.
When tragedy strikes the family, can the sisters finally put aside their differences, or do some wounds run too deep to heal?

Bulk Biceps liked the time he spent with Fluttershy while qualifying for the Equestria Games. He liked it so much, he’s set his eyes on her.

First, he’s going to have to get past her friend. He’s a nice stallion, why wouldn’t she accept him? It isn’t like he’s just trying to bed Fluttershy, a mare who can’t say no. He isn’t just being friendly as a ruse, so he can add another notch to his bedpost, right? After all, a big, strong stallion like him must have to beat off the mares with a stick. He certainly doesn’t have an ulterior motive. He isn’t a violent, evil, red-eyed stallion with a lecherous heart.

Right?

Princess Celestia tires of constantly being surrounded by decorum, deference, and formality, and decides to take a day off from being Princess. But visiting Ponyville incognito is harder than she expects. Will she be able to fit in and make friends without blowing her cover?

Two earth ponies, Caffeinated and Thespian enjoy the festivities of the Winter Solstice on Stallion Island just south of Manehattan. They celebrate through song and poetry, and have some fun at the possible expense of the Princess of the Night

This story is a sequel to Veil of Thoughts

After surviving a spell that merged Twilight and Dash into a single being during the story Veil of Thoughts, the two mares are still struggling to get back to as normal a life as they can have. Except, didn’t they used to have more friends? Why is it so hard to remember…

The boundaries of reality are starting to crumble apart. Half dreams haunt their waking world. Memories of another life seep through their mind. What they were is quickly becoming little more than Fragments of Memories.

Friends, family and even enemies will come together to save Twilight Dash before it’s too late and there is nothing left to save.

The long awaited, highly anticipated, sequel to Veil of Thoughts. Don't forget to remember.

This isn't where I belong. I left all this behind years ago, moved on with my life. But a mare from my past brought me back, and now she won't let me go. So I'm stuck here, trying to make the best of it with ponies that don't understand me, don't even like me. But when something moves in the darkness, and when things go wrong in the cold, dead night, they'll turn to me to try to set things right.

Why? Because once a police pony, always a police pony.

There is now a side-story: A Hard Day's Nightmare Night

At first glance, Princess Luna's charioteers might appear to be little more than Royal Guards dressed in festive apparel for Nightmare Night. However, there is far more to the story than that - the Night Guards once played a pivotal role in the history of Equestria, and have sacrificed more for their beloved princess than most ponies are even aware of.

What does it mean to be Celestia? What does it mean to be "at the top"?

Celestia knows.

And soon, Twilight will too.
