In a world of brass and steam, Twilight Sparkle had thought she had made a life-changing discovery with the invention of the telescope. For better or worse, she was correct.

Now her discovery has not only changed her life, but the lives of those she seeks out in her desperate attempt to contact the only other creature as lonely as Twilight herself.

It all would have been much simpler, but it had to be the one Twilight could only call The Mare on the Moon.

Decidedly not within walking distance, then.

It's not easy to go back to your life after a thousand years of insanity and exile. It's not easy for Luna to even leave her room. All the same, there's a special somepony that Luna desperately wants to get closer to, and that's worth facing the outside for. All she has to do is get up the nerve to talk to her.

Depravity is a draconequus, with a problem. She loves ponies, a lot. So much so she has traveled across the seas to their homeland of Equestria to stalk them in secret. However, when her blatant obsession manages to catch the attention of a particular Princess of the Night, Depravity is immediately sent into a panic! If she is banished for her obsessive compulsions, how will she ever observe anymore ponies!? But come to find out the esteemed princess has actually come with a request for the draconequus. A request that may be an utter dream come true!

Celestia has received an invitation to a meeting over tea with two beings more powerful than she could imagine. Two beings who she had only hoped on meeting until she got the invitation. But will she be satisfied with the answers they give her?

Bow Shock was their only chance.
The undead army was approaching, the surprise attack by the necromancer giving them no time. The Princesses were too far away to get there soon enough. Ponies would die.
He couldn't let that happen.
So Bow Shock took the one route he had. The one weapon at their disposal that could end this with only one death.

All he needed was a few moments in free fall, if he didn't get a boost, and even the famous Rainbow Dash would be jealous. Too bad he wouldn't be around to see her face after this.
