A damaged robot pony, unlike anything ever seen in pre-industrial Equestria, is found in the orchard. Before it collapses, it says only two words: "Twilight Sparkle..."

Twilight fixes the mechanical mare and gives her a new directive: "Make friends." Now a robot must learn what it takes to be a good friend and, while she's at it, what it means to live...

Every year, I write to the princess. I think she's amazing. I want to be just like her.

I wonder if she'll ever reply.

Set several years before A Mother's Comfort.

Twilight Velvet's son Shining Armor is about to leave for Royal Guard training. On this quiet night, she reflects on her choices as a mother, regrets she has had with her son, and her own inner demons. But her son will be the key to silencing those demons.

Title inspired by the song of the same name by Carrie Underwood.

No one alive today can say where she came from; simply that she has always been there.

And yet, few ponies have had a greater impact on Princess Celestia's life than Raven, her most faithful aide.

Inspired by and based off of a headcanon put forth by Heir-of-Rick, though perhaps a bit less insidious than what he had in mind. He very kindly provided an alternate version of his image for me to use as my cover image! Text added by me.

All comments and criticism very welcome!

"I am Friendmaker!"

Twilight Sparkle is concerned that she may one day go insanely evil, as with Nightmare Moon or Daybreaker. So, knowing Twilight, do you really think for one moment she's just going to wait for it to happen?

Includes the charter members of the Reformed Villains Society, plus Celestia and Luna, and a brief magic-journal cameo from Sunset Shimmer.

Featured from 9/11-9/16, 2018... wow! Thanks, everypony! It wouldn't have happened without all of you! By way of a thank you, I've uploaded a higher-res version of the cover art for those who asked for it. Enjoy!

Twilight Sparkle decides to stop wearing a costume for Nightmare Night... and then discovers the perfect reason to keep doing it.

The former equalized ponies struggle to reconstruct their town after Starlight Glimmer's defeat, and Double Diamond struggles to reconstruct his own identity after being freed from Starlight's equalization brainwashing.

Contains some Season 5 spoilers; do not read if you haven't seen.

Following the events of the season 8 finale, Cozy Glow has been sent to Tartarus and the school has been slowly recovering. But Starlight, struggling under the burden of counseling a weary school, is troubled by some tough questions which have been bothering her for some time now.

In an effort to put her mind at ease, she approaches the pony she trusts the most: Twilight Sparkle.

This is a mini-fic with a simple premise. There's limited build up, and the fic is focused primarily on Starlight.

Edit: Got featured on Dec 4th. I'm glad some of you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time.

Celestia hasn't taken one day off since she banished Nightmare Moon all those years ago. Its hard to believe, but when you had to rule a kingdom by yourself for a thousand years, it becomes second nature to never stop working.

But Luna thinks she would benefit from spending the day with her as sisters, the same way they did when they were fillies. It would nice to get out of the castle for a day, letting their manes hang loose. And so Celestia takes her up on the idea.

At the same time, Celestia has been experiencing nightmares about a certain day of her life. It continues to haunt her, but she doesn't know why for sure. Maybe today, she can get past it...
