While your thrill-seeking wife, Celestia, is a big fan of attractions like water coasters, you're a bit less excited by the prospect. Even still, you're pretty sure it will be a fun time. At least, that's what you thought until the coaster broke down with the two of you still on it. It doesn't help that waiting for the coaster to be fixed may take a bit longer than either of you had hoped.

And you having nothing to do in the meantime.

Rating and tag for scritch-based innuendo.

Your wife, the now-retired Celestia, has been acting strange lately. Tonight, she has something she needs to say, and the look on her face is all you need to know that it is important.

So important, in fact, that the trajectory of your lives hinges on your response.

This story is a sequel to With Every Story

Epilogue to the "Royal-Tea" series, though knowledge of the series is not necessary.

It feels like just yesterday that Celestia became your wife. In actuality, that happened not long after she abdicated the Equestrian throne, which was many years ago. Life has certainly been interesting.

And you've loved every minute.

Your wife, the ex-princess Celestia, likes to spend much of her newfound free time exploring Equestria. Today, she has decided to take you with her to Manehattan, where shopping, sights, and more await you. You aren't complaining, but Manehattan isn't exactly your favorite place.

Perhaps you'll both get more than you bargained for.

The lost of certain plant or animal species can have horrible effects on a ecosystem and the same can be said an introduction of either two.

So what happens when the flora and fauna of Earth ends up in Equestria?

The same thing that happens here on Earth, an inbalance of the ecosystem. Only difference is that Earth's ecosystem can balance itself back naturally but on Equestria, the inhabitants have to do it themselves.

Consider some of the horrifying things that Mother Nature has come up with and you can see where this is going.

This story is a sequel to A Waking Nightmare Night

Part of the "Royal-Tea" series, though knowledge of the series is not necessary. Princess Celestia has been your significant other for quite some time now. After she shares an unexpected secret with you, you decide that it is finally time to propose to her. The question is, how should you go about doing that, especially considering her status? Hopefully, everything will go according to plan for Equestria's resident human.

...Right?

In a secret underground room near the back of Canterlot Castle, a super important meeting is being held. With figures like Princess Twilight Sparkle, Dragon Lord Ember, Queen Novo, and the now-retired Celestia all in attendance, what could have caused such a tense, dangerous meeting to take place?

And why do you have to be caught in the middle of it?!

When Celestia first took her crown, she quickly realized that a few ponies were a little too eager to sing her praises.

Naturally, she tried to get them to calm down.

Over a thousand years later, she's still trying.

And then the other alicorns start getting cults of their own...

This is an April Fools Day story with some actual effort put into it.

Teen sex for talk of harems, and by extension, that sex exists.

The Map of Friendship has summoned Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash and sends them on a quest to visit the far off Principality of Cervus, the homeland of the enigmatic deer species.

When they arrive it becomes rapidly evident why the map sent them there. They have never met a bigger race of cynical apathetic nihilists in all of their adventures. Now the three ponies have to do everything they can to help the deer cure their self-destructive tendencies.

Spoiler alert, it is one of the hardest friendship missions they have ever had.

Despite all the strides in friendship made between species, Twilight never reached out to the zebras the same way, leaving them in the shadows with their only zebra isolated from the others. Upon an accidental slipup during a royal address about said zebra, Twilight and her nation pay a very heavy price.

Contains strong themes of racism, lots of Zebrican rhymes, very slight mentions and details of maiming, and a very hopeful/hopeless ending for the fate of Equestria. Participating entry in the EPNW Iron Author Contest 😊
