If one lives immortal life, they may often find it rife
With events that cause them strife, which may make them want to roar.
This tale is of one such being, who thought life was disagreeing
With her when she lost her sister, who forever she’d adore.
Perhaps another can step in, since she’s lost one she does adore…

I was inspired to write this when Unique SKD took his own shot at 'going Poe' (said story has since been deleted, unfortunately). It just took me a while to work out the kinks with this one.

My second story in poem form, I followed the trochee as best I could. It wasn’t easy.

There are certain issues involved with having Philomena as a pet. Giving the entire palace staff permission to take a swat at the bird if it tries anything? Has solved none of them. The phoenix is still trolling everypony, happily setting off pony tempers (and the occasional fire alarm) without a care in the world. The swats just aren't working.

Maybe a few murders will do the trick.

...or, given that it's Philomena, Celestia might have to go just a little further.

Princess Celestia gets a speeding ticket

It's pretty self-explanatory.

FimFic needs a 'dumb' tag.

EDIT: 10/11/2016 12:05 PM. OH MY GOD I MADE IT TO THE FEATURED BOX. THAT MAKES ME BOTH HAPPY AND SAD BECAUSE I SPENT SO LITTLE TIME ON THIS BUT IT ENDED UP BEING MY MOST POPULAR STORY.
THANKS EVERYONE!

A wonderful piece of art made by my Steam/FimFiction friend TheBreadMaker.

After finding real friends for the first time in a strange dimension of odd creatures, Sunset Shimmer has finally decided to return home to Equestria in the hopes of apologizing to Princess Celestia for her betrayal. Instead, she is greeted by an attack from the Royal Guard, and a pursuit across nighttime Canterlot that ends in disaster.

Can two injured ponies who hate each other so much manage to survive the Everfree Forest and return to civilization, or are they just doomed to be eaten?

  In a world where the stars shine through both day and night, a savage attack upon the Phoenix Tower of Canterlot Castle leaves the city in chaos, a princess abducted and the stars fading from the sky.
  Now, Princess Sunset Shimmer dons the legendary Solstice Raiment and the Flareblades of the Sunmother in a desperate quest to save the glittering heavens and the love of her life.
  Because if the stars die... her world will soon follow.

Historian's Note: Set in the distant reaches of the multiverse, this tale is loosely connected with the events of SunLight Sliders, yet requires no knowledge of that story.

On her way to the attic to gather materials, Rarity is surprised by the visitor waiting in her sewing room. The Element of Generosity will have to dig deep, not to satisfy the client, but to just understand them.

Written as an entry for the May 2020 Pairing Contest.

A big thank you to totallynotabrony for editing this story.

Bored and eager to get out of her royal duties for the night, Celestia gets reminded of why she tolerates being on the throne in the form of her foal as the two spend Hearths Warming together.

Celestia did not wake that morning thinking her life would change that day, but it would. She would be united with a creature as timeless as herself, one who looked to her as a peer instead of a subject.

Sometimes, the most important words a pony utters are their last.
