Twilight Velvet has never really understood her daughter-in-law. Princess of Love? That seems a little shallow, even to a secret romance novelist. So when they end up sharing a train to the Crystal Empire for Hearth's Warming, things are a little bit awkward. When the journey is faced with disasters natural and supernatural, their fragile relationship will be tested to its breaking point.

This story is a sequel to The Two Unicorns

Rainbow Dash finds out that asking your friends for help can lead to unexpected results. Especially if one of those friends is a party-pegasus named Pinkie.

• When Ponies Fly

Twilight Velvet's mind was stuck. She only wanted to write her magnum opus; how else could she explore the fantasy worlds of her past? It's just a shame her daughter is more interested in long words than she is in tall tales.

A young, ten-year-old Twilight Sparkle spots a little boy playing all by himself in the morning. She’s seen this boy before, but this is the first time she’s truly noticed him. Unable to place her curious nature to the side, she proceeds to learn things about him that will break her heart.

However, at ten years old, what can she really do about it? What will her family do when she comes to them with questions that belie her age?

Co-wrote with Moonlit Sparkle

Sequel found here: A Spike of Remorse Written entirely by Moonlit and TwiDashForever.

Proof read/edited by: Twidashforever and Lunatone Thanks guys!

Featured the day it went up, 12/21! Thank you so all so much for everything. Moonlit and I were absolutely shocked!

Another day, another million things to do. The At-Home mother's life was a race with no finish line. Twilight Velvet knows this well.

All she wants is sleep. Her children don't allow it.

Rated T for mention of breastfeeding.

Twilight realizes she's lost track of a book. But it's not just any book... it's that book: the first one she recalls being read to her...

A collaborative work, by the main characters in the story itself. You'll see what I mean...

Remembering how she was able to see the past with the potion that Zecora made for her during the vine incident, Twilight decides to make her own to try it out again while also experimenting to see if she can make potions see into the present and future as well.

The results were...interesting.

Commission for Grand_Moff_Pony

Twilight Velvet tells her daughter a bedtime story.

I'm unsure if this counts as AU so I marked it just to be safe. Missing tag: Cute

When Spike is sick, or sleepy, or just plain bored, he'll suddenly know something about being a dragon. Sometimes, he can almost hear voices, telling him stories from beyond his shell.

In the far distant past, a dragon family shares the myths of the world with their eggs.

This story is a sequel to My Little Pony: Friendship is Shining

When Shining Armor first came to Ponyville, he brought his sister with him. After the events with Nightmare Moon, Shining stayed in Ponyville while Twilight Sparkle went back home. Now Twilight is back in Ponyville with her parents to visit, and guess who wants to stay?

A story set in what I'm calling The Shiny-verse
