After taking the throne, Twilight had a lot of things to do - a transition that had never happened before was bound to be fraught with a thousand unexpected complications.

As part of the transition, Twilight finds herself going through Princess Celestia's old personal papers, finding secret after clue after instruction long forgotten about. And among those papers, Twilight finds a letter.

A letter addressed to My Faithful Student, Twilight Sparkle.

A letter never sent.

Applejack and Apple Bloom desperately want to get back to the farmhouse, but Winona won't be budged where she lays. What reason could this normally obedient dog have to be so... disobedient?

The answer may surprise you. Or not, if you've skipped to the end already. Talk about impatient.

Featured! Thanks to everyone who read it.

Missions come with risks. They usually don't think about that. They have many ways of not thinking about it and given how many missions they've been on, some of them have not been thinking about it for a very long time.

They were just waiting for a new mission to start. Then somepony came along and asked them to write down every medical circumstance under which, by their own legally recorded desire, they would prefer to die.

And now the thoughts won't stop.

(Now with author Patreon and Ko-Fi pages.)

A young Twilight finds out that Shining is enlisting. She tries her best to stop him.

Pinkie Pie loves her friends.

She's very good at showing this, too.

Even if it seems like there's nothing anypony can do—least of all her—she'll be there for you.

After the events of "Somepony To Watch Over Me" Applejack has to face painful memories. Big Mac helps her to remember certain events a little differently.

Donut Joe's. The Bakery has been the scene of so many times Twilight and her friends had together centuries ago. The establishment is closed now, the building in ruins. As Princess Twilight, the Ruler of Equestria, takes a trip inside and down memory lane, she remembers the times she had with them before they left.

There is a black hole at the center of the galaxy that houses Equestria. There is a cafe next to the black hole, and a bench at the bus stop. There is also a bus stop.

Ocellus is waiting for a bus.

It seems to be taking a while.

A re-telling of an old story I read years ago. This one gets kinda sad, so maybe have some tissues nearby.
