Some people say that Celestia and Luna are useless. That they lounge in the castle while delegating all their responsibilities to hard working, underappreciated, exceptionally well-read students. That even when faced directly with threats to kingdom and country, they fold like cheap origami and wait to be rescued.

These people are correct. But there's a very good reason for it!

[Rated Teen due to a dark scene early on to set some backstory, and occasional comedic death]

Chrysalis kidnapped a dozen ponies, threatened Equestria, was betrayed by her own kind, and has now vowed vengeance on Starlight Glimmer before leaping from the ruins of her castle and flying off. She is definitely going to get away.

Absolutely.

Yep.

This story is a sequel to Once Bonked, Twice Shy

After months of their relationship developing and the Grand Galloping Gala approaching, everything seems perfect for Fluttershy's first public date with her marefriend.

Something which is more difficult than it should be when she is dating the Queen of the Changelings.

Luckily, Fluttershy has a plan to make sure it goes off without a hitch.

Unfortunately, a certain other villain she helped reform takes issue.

At this point, she should really just consider not going to these galas.

Twilight finally made some time in her busy schedule to go book shopping. Everything is perfect, and she is as happy as can be – until Discord shows up. He tells her that she’s wasting her time looking for books to read, and claims that even books lead more exciting lives than she does.

Twilight finds all of this rather difficult to believe – that is, until she finds out about the secret lives of books…

Discord's enthusiasm for his first Hearth's Warming Eve is a little disconcerting for the ponies of Equestria, especially in Ponyville. His bizarrely intense love for the holidays is both refreshing and a bit dangerous. But he won't stop at decorations and carols. For his first Hearth's Warming Eve, Discord wants to prove to his friends that he really has changed by giving them each a present they will love above all others. But a little bit of the whole "Spirit of Chaos" thing insists on leaking into the gifts. When all have been given out and he's left to think about the results, he starts to wonder if this is all just proof that he was never meant to be anything more than a villain.

The earth melts. The skies darken. Celestia has tired of being the nice princess, and the shadow of the sun has overtaken her.

To Prince Blueblood's immense regret, he can't leave this one to Sparkle and company.
