This story is a sequel to YOU HAVE BUCKED UP NOW.

Twilight Sparkle has had it up to HERE with having to dole out punishments, reprimand authority, and in general be left out of all the fun things. So when the Cutie Map sends her on her own expedition to foreign lands with a bunch of her friends and a bird pirate, she jumps at the opportunity.

There was a lot of booze involved. And shoggoths.

Tempest Shadow finds the path of reformation is not easy for her... it just doesn't feel right. Then she learns of a disquieting trade going on in the Southlands... and then a close friend is ponynapped... and she discovers exactly the kind of pony she is meant to be.

Sequel to MLP: The Movie, covering Tempest's reformation and also tying up loose ends in the movie and prequel comic.

This story's timeline is also continued into Season 8 by Twilight's Pirate School.

If you should see a lavender airship in your sky, hurry to get on board. You don't want to miss being part of Equestria's future, aboard Princess Twilight's School of Friendship...

Princess Twilight's Friendship School proposal has been denied even preliminary approval by the EEA. Fortunately Tempest Shadow and her fleet of warships are back in town, and Tempest has a somewhat unorthodox idea for how Twilight can get around this. Plus, we find out more about how each of the Young Six came to be enrolled at the School. And Starlight ends up with a much better job...

AU reboot of the start of season 8, and sequel to Reformation... It's a Pony Thing.

This story is a sequel to Escape From Klugetown

Darth Vader and Tempest Shadow continue their hunt for Princess Twilight Sparkle and the rest of the Main Six after their lucky escape from Klugetown. Their search lead them to the airship of the Ornithian pirate, Captain Celaeno, and her crew.

A very special thanks to EJLightning007arts for making the first story art image for this story, and to LoneUnicornWriter for recently proofreading it.

This Star Wars/MLP crossover is set during the MLP movie, as a "What If Darth Vader was in My Little Pony: The Movie". After success of "I Will Not Fail", people requested sequels, so I plan to make 5 sequels. This is the 3rd of the 5.

The Siege of Canterlot is over and the Storm King defeated but Tempest Shadow, unofficially the new leader of the Storm King's army and antagonist turned protagonist, realizes there are other nations still under the former tyrant's iron fist. Redemption on her mind, Tempest takes off to put an end to this conflict, but not without help from some new friends. But as she and the others soon find out, war is more complicated than it seems and may prove too much a challenge, even to the Princess of Friendship.

Tempest Shadow owes her free life to Princess Twilight Sparkle, and that fact has never left Tempest's mind. It's for this reason Twilight is one of the few ponies she respects. But when Tempest finds herself facing another she's obligated to respect, she'll find herself leaving the encounter with more than just damaged pride.

Most things had returned to normal following the Festival of Friendship, but Tempest felt there was still one matter to be settled. It had been no easy feat convincing the pirate captain to travel with her, much less alone and unaware of the destination. But having the Princess of Friendship on your side could do wonders, apparently.

The Friendship Festival turned into a celebration of the defeat of the Storm King, and things are getting interesting. Capper and Celaeno are trying to drink each other under the table. Queen Novo and Princess Celestia are reopening trade negotiations, with Skystar and Twilight doing their best to help and one of the Storm King's Mooks can only wonder what do with his life.

It's going to be a long night.

Following the defeat of the Storm King, both his victims and his followers alike continue on with their lives. For some of them, the adventure is only just beginning...

(Needless to say, there will be spoilers for the movie).

Celaeno does her job the best she can, living day to day hoping that she can spare her crew the wrath of the Storm King. Most days, she's able to get through her work and go to bed at night feeling only mostly empty, rather than completely. Some days though... Some days are hard.
