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.

While hiding from her sister's latest attempt to smarten her up, Sweetie Belle joins Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo at Ponyville's local river to have fun in the cool water. Together, they come up with a silly story explaining the origin of the infamous "Beauty Curse", a blight Rarity apparently suffers from.

Even chaos had to spawn from somewhere.

Starlight Glimmer really likes kites. Rainbow Dash crashes into things. When Rainbow destroys one of Starlight's creations, she agrees to help replace it. And wouldn't you know it, she turns out to be pretty good at it! That's probably why she looks forward to hanging out so much...

In a miscommunication gone awry, Starlight Glimmer has killed Twilight Sparkle with a fork.

Luckily for Twilight, Starlight's already acquired a resumé in doing the impossible.

She's totally got this.

Diamond Tiara hates Nyx, this isn't exactly news. However, during a class fieldtrip Nyx finally asks why, and she may not like what she hears.

Written for Telaros because he wouldn't stop whinging for a DiNyx fic he's such a good friend and I'm such a kind, generous soul :3

Hearth's Warming is fast appraoching, and Nyx has just realised that she has done some pretty naughty things in the past. Has she made up for all of that and qualified for the nice list, though? Only on pony knows the answer for sure!

It's Nyx's birthday and her parents and their friends want to throw the most special party for the little alicorn. Ben also goes looking for a gift for his daughter as well.

Born blind, Snowdrop has always lived a life of limitation. Two years since the glorious event that changed her life and unearthed the blessings of winter, she has again fallen into a rut.
An unexpected visit from her favourite Princess and best friend is about to change that.
After the Princess insists that only Snowdrop can perform a certain dangerous task, she heads into the Everfree Forest to confront a mysterious, previously unknown creature. But how can a helpless blind filly possibly succeed where elite members of the Royal Guard have failed?

Sometimes it takes the blind to see what everyone else cannot.

This story is a sequel to A Mother's Warmth

The night is long, it can be dark and cold with only the slight comfort of the moons light and the stars shine. Tonight, Nyx is unable to find her footing in the realm of dreams, she reads books and drinks milk but tonight she can't seem to sleep. And what a beautiful night to lose some sleep over.

Written mostly out of my own frustrations involving my lack of active writing this year, and the sloth that has filled my life the last few months prior to this fics publishing.

Warning: POV shift toward the end, and I have a reason I will not divulge for fear of spoilers. You're all smart, try to think about how our narrator knew all this was happening.
