Deep in the catacombs beneath the Crystal Castle, Cadence and Shining Armour discover something that brings Luna running. When the moon fails to rise, Celestia follows to investigate.

Prince Blueblood is absolutely convinced that Tempest Shadow has lied to Princess Celestia and that she is still plotting to conquer Canterlot. Now it's up to him to stop her.

Unfortunately, he is (a) dead wrong, (b) not a fan of comic books, and (c) not trained in espionage, counter-intelligence, special operations or anything else that would be useful in such a situation. But he does know which flowers go well with her coat and what restaurant can offer the best candlelight dinner opportunities, so... that's... a start...?

Prince Blueblood / Tempest Shadow, because I love my random and obscure shipping constellations these are two very different, very fascinating characters who can probably learn a lot from each other. (Also maybe some Capper/Celaeno on the sidelines later on?)

Content warning is again on the "better safe than sorry" side: there is no suicide, and the only reference to self-harm will be when some of Tempest's scars are discussed.
Took out the warning label for the time being. If I or others feel now or at a later time that it should go in again, it'll go in then. Thanks to the commenters so far for the feedback on when to include it!
Also a mild spoiler warning since this takes place shortly after The Movie.

Rainbow Dash is the coolest and fastest pony ever! Everything is going her way lately! Nothing can stop her!

Though she is starting to feel not so awesome. Her mood swings a lot, she doesn't feel too well, and she has gotten some strange food habits.

Taking a friend's advice, she goes to the doctor to find out what is going on. She gets some news she was not prepared for, neither was her friends.

Rainbow Dash is pregnant...

The a-dork-able romantic endeavors of a nerdy human and his #1 favorite floaty pegasus.

That is NOT this ditzy fluffball.

Discord has laid an egg. Celestia is the father. She may not be thrilled with this.

Inspired by Scrambled Serenity by Ice Star

Sunset Shimmer didn't really like that stupid pegasus to begin with, and her distaste for her only grew after the day of Mi Amore Cadenza's coronation. That crown was supposed to be hers. Instead, it went to the stupid Princess of Love. Now, Celestia has arranged for Cadence to stay in Canterlot with Sunset, and encourages the two of them to become friends. But with Sunset's dour attitude, and her constant bullying, will the two ever become close?

Highly underrated and little-known ship I have dubbed "SunDance"

Rated T for pseudo-profanity and suggestive content.

Friendship can take a lot out of you, and for a middle-aged mare with her condition, there's only so much Applejack to go around.

Fortunately, this particular country mare has an ace in the hole.

(Dedicated to those who need more spoons.)

This story is a sequel to Sniffles

Having recovered from the lowly sabotage that had seen her briefly bedridden, The Queen and her thoroughly useless human servant can now proceed with vengeance, domination, victory and all other things that come naturally to her.

Events conspire to make this difficult.

Shining Armor has lived a long and happy life alongside his wife Cadance. Though they never managed to have another child, they've held the Crystal Empire strong against many enemies, helping to spread friendship all across the world.

But merely being married to an Alicorn Princess has not protected him from the ravages of time. Where many others would have to say farewell to their immortal children and relatives, something else is waiting for Shining Armor.

His younger sister, ruler of Equestria, is unwilling to say goodbye, and has perfected a spell that will allow him to stay with his family. He has little time to decide: accept the spell, or say goodbye to his family forever. It isn't really much of a choice.

A warning for potentially sensitive readers: this is a story about cute role-reversals. Though it includes Gleaming Shield and physical transformation, it has neither the scope nor the wordcount to deal with the more sensitive topics of personal identity and dysphoria. Things I could not treat with the respect they deserved were left out of the story completely.

If you're looking for a more substantial take on transition and transgender subjects, I suggest one of my other stories, Homebrew.

Mandibles "Mandy" Carapace hated Queen Chrysalis.

He hated her hare-brained schemes, he hated her commanding and dominating nature, and he especially hated her unending arrogance.

So, when the Canterlot Invasion failed and he was sent careening into Ponyville, he felt no particular rush to return to her.

Author's note: Contains Romance, but there aren't enough tags to include it, so I chose Drama over Romance (because the Drama is the main theme of the story, while the Romance is a side-plot that feeds into said Drama).

And now, I've also added the "Alternate Universe" tag, because of the stuff involving Mothra and Chrysalis.

Sequel is here.
