Vesperquines—batponies—have faithfully guarded Equestria's night for a thousand years. Apart from Celestia, they alone have kept the memory of Princess Luna alive in their hearts. And they alone know of their failure, of how they were not the friends she needed when jealousy and despair gnawed at her.

They pray for a second chance. They vow to do better.

And then, one night, miraculously, she returns.

But the princess whose memory they cherish is still lost to her mad fury. And for a young recruit of the Night Guard, the nightmare has just begun.

This story is a sequel to The Second Nice Thing

Takes place a month or two after 'The Lost Treasure of Griffinstone'
Gilda's scone selling business is booming, and is being credited with jump starting the run-down village into a semblance of order. As her business becomes both increasingly popular and important to the town, the griffoness finds life becoming actually easy. With this newfound freedom, Gilda has to tackle another issue, which continues to rear its ugly head. When your only interactions are that of how Griffinstone used to be, harsh, gritty, dismissive, and uncaring, it changes griffins.
Gilda is no exception, and she knows it.
But how do you nurse a heart that has fallen ill due to malnutrition of a different sort?

That's a difficult question on its own, and getting stuck in an old abandoned mining project won't help sort out any of these problems....or could it?

When Shining Armor and Cadance come to Canterlot to celebrate the anniversary of their wonderful wedding with Twilight Sparkle and her friends, they are visited by a strange stallion who desperately needs their help. Surprisingly, the strange visitor is Shining Armor from an alternate world where the Canterlot Wedding was a complete disaster. In that world, the betrayal of her loved ones and the deaths of both Cadance and Queen Chrysalis drove Twilight mad and caused her to succumb to her darkest emotions and become Equestria’s newest and most dangerous enemy: Midnight Sparkle. Allied with King Sombra and the Crystal Empire, she has waged a vengeful and merciless war against all who do not support her. Do Twilight and her friends have what it takes to save a world where certain events happened differently from those in their world?

A brief slice of life piece; just after the events taking place at GriffonStone. Gilda mulls over the turn around of her business, the restarting of life in Griffonstone, and actually feeling content.

Feedback, criticism, and any and all tips are welcome!

Twilight and Spike return to the Castle of the Two Sisters, only to find that their previous foray into its depths may not be what they remember.

Luna invites Twilight to a nighttime trip. Since the trip is supposed to be a learning experience, Twilight agrees. However, Luna neglected to mention exactly where they were going. Hopefully Twilight's not scared of the dark.

Takes place prior to Season 5... sorry about that.

Cover art... unfortunately by me. You can (and should) probably tell where the base image comes from. What can I say? I'm no artist and I'm too cheap for commissions.

When Scootaloo and a new student get into a fight at school, it's up to Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle to teach her the importance of Griffon/Pony relations by reading the story of the first encounter between a Griffon huntress and a Pegasus soldier.
