Princess Cadance isn't an emotionally driven pony. She likes to think that she's done a good job keeping those pesky emotions in check, especially during her weekly court. But when a crystal pony calls her 'useless', it gets to her. She'd never been called useless before by anypony, let alone one of her subjects.

Luckily, she has the best aunt in the world there to comfort her.

Shining Armor had the best life ever. His Dad was literally the most awesome stallion in all Equestria (even though he was a cheat and played dirty). His Mom played even more dirty, and always seemed to win, but was the best mom in all of the whole of Equus.

It was perfect, just the three of them, until a filly intruded on their lives. Cadance von Cooties was her name, well, "von Cooties" was a title popularly applied to her. There is a reason she has this infamous title: she was a cootie sorceress. She could bend ponies' minds merely with the power of her cooties, and she was moving into Shining's house!

This was meant to be a one-shot, but the idea has stretched into 3 chapters. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.

Princess of Harmony.
Princess of the Night.
Princess of Love.
Princess of Magic.

Twilight always assumed these roles were natural and unchanging - titles that merely reflected the inherent power of the bearers.

Now, she can't help wondering if that assumption was incorrect.

After a thousand long years, Princess Luna was finally freed from Nightmare Moon and welcomed back to Equestria. But she became Nightmare Moon for a reason, didn't she? What if Luna wanted to take over Equestria even before she succumbed to jealousy?

Having returned from the moon, she secretly writes her efforts to seize the throne and notes the challenges that stand in her way. But if there's one thing that hasn't changed over the last millennium, it's the fact that she can't recognize a losing battle when she sees one.

This story is a sequel to NOW YOU BUCKED UP.

When a new, strange kingdom of magic is discovered to the far west of Equestria, the Royal Sisters take an entourage and investigate. Which nearly sparks ANOTHER international incident.

Once again, they don't bring Twilight. And ONCE AGAIN, she's left to clean up the mess. Which involves yet another very long letter.

In the long history of Equestria, the two royal sisters are an enigma. Why are Celestia and Luna on the Equestrian flag when they were not there during the founding? How did they come to rule over the nation? And what really caused Luna to become Nightmare Moon?

For a full understanding of this story, it is recommended that you read Paradise, to which this story is a spiritual sequel.

Motherhood is hard, as Shining Armor knows, and Cadance has been dealing with a lot lately. So, when Shining comes home, he's not too surprised that she seems a little... off. But it doesn't take long before he realizes something is not quite right. In fact, there might be something weird in the very foundation of their family...

Warning: Is a lot more harmless than the title and description might lead you to believe...

Rarity has noticed that Spike has interest in her. For the most part, she simply brushed it off as a little child crush. However, when Twilight comes up with a new spell and needs a volunteer, Rarity couldn't help but raise her hoof.
After all, it's not everyday you get to become a dragon.
