Dearest Shining Armor,

By the time you read this, I’ll be long gone.

Originally a one-shot written during a very trying time, but many people asked for a continuation. You can read the first chapter by itself if you wish, and that may even be advisable, but I still hope that you'll enjoy the rest.

Featured on the front page at release, for the full four days possible under the site's heat system!

There's no place like Donut Joe's diner to unwind after a long, hard day. Good company, great coffee, and the best dang cucumber omelette in Equestria. After the week Celestia's had, she could really, really use a place to get away from it all.

Here, the regulars all know her as Sunny Skies, the unassuming workaholic mare who hasn't taken a day off in... ever. Well, today's her lucky day. Sunny's about to have one apocalyptically long holiday.

Luna's become delirious with a fever, Discord's fled the castle in terror, there's a living moon locked in Celestia's dining room, and something is very, very wrong with Equestria's sugar.

Put on a pot of coffee, folks. We've got an all-nighter on our hooves.

Holy horseapples, Sugarfree has AMAZING FANART NOW! Cover art by the wonderful StyxLady.
Crazy huge thanks to Luminary, Brawny and Eakin for pre-reading and editing this horrid thing.

It is highly recommended that you read The Gift of Life before diving into this story.

And I am back to writing! I'll try to have a chapter out a week.

King Sol and Queen Galactica are dead, Everfree City lies in ruins, The Eternal Valley and the Flutterponies have been mutated into equine insects, Discord reigns supreme over the land, and Princess Celestia and Princess Luna have gone into hiding within the small mountain town of Canterlot. The future looks bleak for Equestria under its new tyrant, and slowly the land begins to bend to Discord's will as he resumes his search for the Element of Chaos. Can Celestia and Luna stop the draconequus before he gains the full chaotic power of the moon, or will they suffer the same fates of their parents?

Part 2 of the Lullaby to the Moon series, a (planned) three part series involving the childhoods of Celestia and Luna. Told from the third person perspective of Celestia and Luna(in her respective chapters), this story delves into the holes about what the two princess' lives were like when they were mere fillies all the way until they barely reach adulthood.

Training Session
We all knew Twilight Sparkle was a powerful sorceress, but none of us had ever realised just how powerful she truly was. It is no underestimation if somepony said that she’d be able to challenge an immortal to a battle and come out as the victor. The possibility was there, of that there was no doubt, the only thing that was needed for her to actually defeat an immortal, such as myself, was for her to realise her full potential, for her to realise just how much power was stored in that small body of hers

A cry was heard from the top of Everfree Castle's most towering spires. It was a beautiful day in the land of Equestria; both because of the gorgeous sun and cloudless skies that brightened the landscape, and because of the joy of two parents as they laid their eyes upon their latest creation. It was so small and delicate, but nevertheless it brought copious amounts of joy to their hearts. In the arms of the Queen of Equestria was a tiny filly alicorn, the latest edition to their rare race, and to their family. The entire world had been given the gift of the birth of a second alicorn princess.

The parents had been given the gift of a second daughter.

Luna had been given the gift of life.

Sequel found here! (I promise it is written much better)

Now, there are a few things I need to clarify before the story starts:

1. The age of sexual consent in Equestria is fourteen years old. (There will be no clop in this fic. Only suggestive themes.)
2. There is no legal drinking age in Equestria. Ponies can drink hard cider, wine, etc from the time they are born.
3. There is no such thing as the Royal Canterlot Voice. I am going to say that Celestia played a prank on Luna when she returned from the moon.
4. Adulthood in Equestria is considered to be sixteen years old.
5. Alicorns age at the same pace as ponies until they reach twenty five years old. I did this so that the events in the story would be more believable.

Inspired by devastating personal losses, Apple Bloom dons a mantle from her youth to counter Equestria's rising crime after a dramatic change in government sends Canterlot into disarray. As more heroes follow her lead and arise in other cities, she must face her own past and dark new evils on the path back to harmony.

Immortality sounds nice, doesn't it?

You can live forever, never age, or at least never get really old. Lots of ponies would jump at the chance to be immortal, but immortality comes with a great price.

And nopony in the world could even imagine all that Princess Celestia has gone through. Nopony has experienced as many losses, or endured as much as the Equestrian Princess. In this story, we review Princess Celestia's life before her long, remarkable rule.

What if Twilight was orphaned before her acceptance into Celestia's school for gifted unicorns?
what if she and the princess of the sun became inseparable? What if Twilight starts calling Celestia mommy after their lessons?
What if Celestia loves it?

Nopony ever said the friendship between Fluttershy and Discord would be an easy one. The difference in their life expectancies doesn’t help, but that’s a problem Discord can fix with a snap of the talons—that is, until Fluttershy finds out. Discord isn’t one to give up easily, though. He’ll do anything to keep his one and only friend. Anything.

There is now a video review! And still another video review! And Russian and French translations! And there are dramatic readings from Joehighlord and Dr. Wolf! But wait! There's more: Dr. Wolf has collaborated with Meb90 and a team of other talented artists to produce something amazing.

On one of her regular hunts for gemstones, Rarity discovers a treasure trove beyond her wildest dreams... and the lavender-scaled dragon who collected it. Despite a rocky first meeting, Rarity and Greenfire soon find themselves drawn to each other more and more. But the question remains: How did a young dragon end up in the Everfree Forest all alone?

An alternate universe story that puts our favorite purple dragon and his beloved fashionista into a slightly different situation. Art used with permission from the wonderful ArtisteFish!
