Ch 44 is the start of the End is Neigh (pony for nigh) arc of chapters. Starlight ought understand what's happening. She's had plenty of clues. Does she? How can she fight what she doesn't understand? As a reader, remember you have the history presented in the series so don't be too hard on our favorite reformed evil mare.
Yeah. It's a TWIST. You'll have to read the chapter to find out what, and it's a duesy.
By Dawn's Early Light Part I of two is published. Read it now! The time is approximately three years prior to The Canterlot Wedding. A somewhat more innocent Cadance is learning about love, but wants to clobber Starlight Glimmer because she hurt Shining Armor. Yes, she's protective of her coltfriend, but when Starlight mentions the Do-Nothing Prince, she reacts jealously.
Starlight doesn't realize her life is becoming more complex as she learns of a strange connection to one of her new companions.
I am aiming to release part III of this chapter Friday...
This chapter introduces a new character. You may have figured out that the novel is firmly in alternate universe territory. Starlight never becomes a princess in canon, nor is Twilight named crown princess, thought clearly she was one. There's a pony who went on to become
Another teaser? Yeah, because it's close but not there. Who dat?

Story serialization starts soon.
Meltdown Part 1 of two (ch18) has been published! Sunset Shimmer rescues Starlight from the full onslaught of school peer pressure, whisking her off to the little fillies room, of course, to give Starlight a good talking to. Because Sunset is going from MacGuffin to full-out major secondary character, I am switching out the Celestia tag for the Sunset Shimmer tag. I want to notify the
Meltdown Part 2 of three (ch19) has been published! Starlight is way too fragile today, it seems. Then she learns something shocking about Firefall. Twilight shows up, and while she demonstrates they have a lot in common, well... she is Twilight Sparkle, right?
I've finished the titles, and added sparkles because, well that's the trope for novels of this type. The cover art is by @SyrupyyyArt. To see the cover art, click the Read More button. It's just a matter of the proofreading of my rewrite of chapters 1 and 2 to complete before publication begins.
Great chapter title, right? Read chapter 38 to find out why. You know you're going to...
As Rarity would say, GAH! I posted the contents of chapter 49 instead of 47 at about 7:51 PM PDT. A big sorry! I discovered and posted the correct chapter 47 around 9:25 PM PDT. Do return and read the corrected chapter. If you were so unfortunate that, in your excitement to finally see a belated update (sorry about that, too), and found you had no context for what

The latest post (today 8/4 at 2:15 PM PDT) is the last installment of a large chapter composed of 4 parts. Get reading. I do have news, though...
Three (3) filly friends sounds kind of ominous for Starlight's love life when you realize the title refers to Blueblood. Starlight gets Blueblood to open up about his tragic past and begins to understand him very well. There are uncanny similarities shared between them...
Meltdown Part 3 of three (ch20) is ready to read, and it's a large installment. Couldn't break it up after you've been waiting such a long time! Starlight thinks she has gathered her scatter wits, even dealing with Sunset and Twilight being in the same classroom with a deft hoof. Then Sunburst trots in and doesn't recognize her...
An important life lesson is to realize that what you feel about events in your life is the perspective from which you view them. Good and bad are all relative to your mood, goals, and agenda. Both Starlight Glimmer and Fizzlepop Berrytwist will in canon and would have in the Enforcerverse gone on to become devastatingly evil, though Starlight in time looping and destroying Equestria many times
My newest story definitely gives Prince Blueblood some character!
Considering what Rarity discovered the night of the Gala, do you think Equestria's original princely stallion might turn out to be worth a roll in the hay?
No joke! Neither are the descriptions exactly hyperbolic. Keep careful track of what you learn, though. There are clues.
In case you didn't know, chapters 9 and 10 are posted. Chapter 11, part III of It Happened on a Warm Autumn Night, will post soon. Below is a preview from the alternate cover WIP. It may be spoilery depending on where you are in the story.
