This story is a sequel to MLP: One as a Family: A Golden Week in Exile

A week after their banishment to the Golden Land, Wanda Young and her friends are finally going on the offensive to retake Equestria back from Gold Banks through Vanhoover, La Maresa, and Manehattan, which will lead to the final battle against the aristocrat with the Alicorn Amulet. But after the conflict is over, Wanda Young and her friends will finally make their way to her childhood home of Evevanya, where she will discover more about her past, and about her friends' past.

After an accident leaves her stranded in Ponyville, Alex manages to weasel her way into Twilight’s life. At first, Twilight doesn’t know what to do with the pushy, selfish, inconsiderate brat of a wizard, but perhaps in time she can learn to understand her behavior, or at least figure out a way to be rid of her.

Long before the Lightbringer and not so long after balefire rained from on high, the Goddess and Unity are weak. Every day threatens the fledgling alicorn race's survival. When a mysterious note promising power beyond compare falls into their grasp, the Unity jumps at the opportunity, even if they have no idea what this "Pyre" could be. These answers lie deep in the dark continent and the shell of the Zebra Empire.

When disaster strikes the small expedition, only one sister remains, alone and isolated from Unity by means she can't understand. If she is to survive and see her family again, she must adapt to the Wilderness, but that adaptation may remake her in every way.

As time passes, a growing fear nags at her. Will she even want to go back?

The land is harsh, and friends are few. Only one other question plagues her: just what is the Pyre?

Assuming that it is even real...

My name is Fairuz M.G, and I died.

Just like that, in a flash of tires and regret. But instead of fading into nothing, I woke up in a world I knew all too well from my years as a secret brony: Equestria. Now I’m a dragon, not Spike, but somehow his brother, his blood-related brother; and I love him like family, like someone I was always meant to protect. With every beat of my new heart, I can feel something shifting, a chance to change the plot, rewrite fate, and give everyone here the life they deserve. not just the Mane Six, but every soul in this world-ok that's too big for me so maybe in Equestria?

Maybe death wasn’t the end. Maybe it was the start of the life I was meant to live: one where I’m no longer just a fan watching from behind the glass, but a part of the story... helping shape a future brighter than the show ever dared to imagine.

Every now and again, Celestia gets obsessed with a new hobby. It's fine, its not like she's going to miss anything important... wait are those wedding bells?

Sent from the end of one story to the start of the next. I do love my patrons.

Some six hundred years after the banishment of Nightmare Moon, something as amiss in Canterlot. It began quietly, abruptly… and undeniably. A creeping corruption, a slow dimming of the light. None could say why, how… even what was difficult to assess. But a wrongness grows in the capital and the princess.

Now comes the awkward question of who, if anypony, is going to do anything about it.

This story is a sequel to Perspectives Taken

Shady thinks control will save her. Fluttershy thinks staying will. Between a shattered cup and a spoonful of honey, they negotiate the meaning of “Mom”—not with speeches, but with silence that doesn’t abandon and touch that asks permission. This is a story about burnout, grief’s aftershocks, and the stubborn, ordinary magic of chosen family.
