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.
