Princess Twilight Sparkle just made the awful mistake of accidentally giving you the ability to act consequence-free for a short span of time. You intend to make the most of it, but your friends aren't about to let you get away with it.

Uh, what is it you're trying to do, exactly?

A few years back, two sisters came into town. Both of law and order, they reigned supreme over the land, one with honorable law by day, the other with ruthless vigilantism by night. The town and its surroundings lived in harmony for a time, but there came a point where the townsfolk could no longer stand the brutality of the vigilante. A disparity in punishment, and a fairness sought after. Come high noon on one fateful day, and the sisters approached each other in the center of town, they each took three steps back, and drew...

A thousand year absence from the world would be disorienting for anyone, but when your job is Head of State, understanding how society has changed during your interregnum is vital. Princess Luna, banished in the age of the longboat and the longbow, has returned just in time for the launch of the tablet computer. With the help of her sister, she undertakes to understand the history she's missed and the people she finds herself among, in order to resume the duties of her title.

This story takes the form of a series of conversations between Celestia and Luna that take place months and years apart. It is openly concerned with political ideas and how societies are organised, and not at all concerned with monsters and magic beyond the conceit of immortal monarchs. The Alternate Universe tag is there because I will be ignoring every single one of the thousand year catastrophes that occur in the show after the Nightmare Moon crisis, the retirement of the Princesses, probably the presence of any other Princesses, and anything else in the show I feel like ignoring, because I find them irrelevant to the themes I want to cover.

In short, if you wanted The Audience with ponies, I got you covered.

This story can be considered canon to my comic works such as The Sunjackers, and my other associated worldbuilding projects, and uses the same date system as them (ie. roughly matching our own, with the return of Nightmare Moon happening the same year as the episode aired, 2010). May also be your jam if you like Equestria At War, but not affiliated at all.

Robot Chicken Pony is a series of random shorts revolving around everyone's favorite pastel-colored ponies. The only consistency is inconsistency and the only logic is chaos!

Due to a mix-up in the pantry, the jasmine tea that Princess Celestia orders for consumption with her breakfast turns out to be made out of coca leaf, instead.

A period of overwhelming bureaucratic efficiency, aggressive platonic affection, and mild insanity follows.

After being separated from the darker, uninhibited versions of themselves, Celestia and Luna set out to reform them. After months of work, training, and discussions to set the pair on a better path, the sisters host both Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker together in a private, casual dinner to see how well the two have been listening.

It goes less than smoothly...

Stupid little greentext thought up while absolutely smashed on a weekday morning before bed, now converted to prose. Teen rating is for minor sexual allusions, but nothing explicit.

Starswirl the Bearded has been alone for so many years, for millennia. He has no idea how he came to be, but all he knows is the loneliness of being the only one of his kind. That is, till he stumbled upon a jar, a jar that can capture the essence of anything.
However, there are consequences to bringing about new life, consequences that require heroes. And heroes need Harmony.

Fragmented tales from the frontlines, starring or about Sergeant Reckless.

My tribute and gift to an oft unsung hero.

Sunset Shimmer knows Equestrian religion is false. She has her doubts about human religions, too. As always, she turns to her friends for help.

Unfortunately for Sunset, her six friends have six rather different ideas about what lies above.

Spike is no stranger to getting roped into things, being helpful is practically his second nature. Sometimes though, it can be a little too much even for him.
Thankfully, he has somewhere to go when things get out of control.

Rated T for a few instances of cursing.
