Rainbow Dash is uncertain how she'll balance her life as the newly promoted Captain of the Wonderbolts. The former captain has a few words to say.

Written as an entry into the 2024 Wonderbolts Site Contest.

This story is a sequel to Stormy Affair

This is a fan spin off of Bodyguard!AU Series, with permission from Mono. Prior knowledge of the AU is not necessary to read the story. However, I highly encourage y'all to read Our Illusion as it enhances the story and it's a personal favorite of mine.

Captain Zephyrina Storm has dutifully guarded Princess Sunny Starscout for weeks, enduring the worst hardships imaginable: endless meetings and political tedium. When Zipp notices the toll it has taken on the princess, she strives to make the trip to Zephyr Heights memorable. With the extensive lockdown in place keeping them bound to the castle, she goes to enlist the help of the pony she trusts the most to spice up the princess’s evening.

Everpony in Snow Castle thinks Blackberry is part-troll because he is so naughty, and so Clever Clover sends him away, forever. After talking with his naughty friend, Jealous Jasmine, and his good friend, Light Heart, he finds out what he is made of.

The setting is G2, but the fic is heavily FiM-inspired. The G2 setting in the comics is whimsical and silly - think a rainbow having a sleepover with a unicorn.

Short & Sweet at 2K words.

While written as a children's story, it is readable for all ages. There is some candy horror/drama if you read between the lines. There is also a little humour, but I ran out of genre tags.

Written in simple English and in first person.

Special:
Written in poor taste about recent events. Goodbye, pony friends!

Celestia is no longer who she used to be.
With preparations for the inevitable Changeling Invasion requiring more and more sacrifice from Equestria's previously unshakable ethos of pacifism and friendship, Twilight has taken a role as Celestia's, now Daybreaker, closest advisor and assistant.

She had not been prepared for what these tasks would require of her.
No longer able to reconcile her harmonic ideals with her current actions, Twilight has cut off contact with her closest friends to avoid hurting them... and herself.

But, as her unfortunate personal bodyguard is about to find out, Ponies were not meant to carry their burdens alone.

This story is based off of an unfinished roleplay arc between me and the owner of the OC featured within, Midnight Lancer. It was part of an EaW Nation Roleplay on Discord. For those of you unaware of what Equestria at War is, it's a Hearts of Iron 4 mod that ports Equestria to a WW2-ish setting.

It was written for a writing contest held in a similar server, which can be found at https://discord.gg/mares.

All credit to Midnight Lancer for letting me use his OC, and to the brilliant EaW mod team for developing the setting. Special thanks to Nico for providing a large part of the roleplaying framework in which this took place.

Rainbow Dash is fine, despite what her friends think. There's nothing wrong. She's just tired, that's all.

Ever since moving to Ponyville, Twilight has neglected something: her other residence. The rooms she used in the Canterlot Archives are still filled with her possessions. It's been nearly a year, and the Archives want her to clear out already so the place can go to the new departmental librarian. She has until sunset -- or anything still there just might remain so. Spike, knowing the deadline is hours away from arriving, recruits the Bearers to help her.

But Twilight doesn't want help.

A deadline is in front of her, and she's -- stalling.

They have until sunset...
