Two souls who found each other, and rekindled their relationship, so late in life are getting married, and the wedding is surely going to be a grand event. Both Cranky Doodle Donkey and Matilda have led long, eventful lives, and that's led to a long and varied guest list.

One such guest is looking at a wedding invitation from his first ever friend. He's going to go. He can't not go. But one little request, one added specifically for his invitation, has him stopping short. Four little words chilling him to the core.

Come as you are.

That day at the mall was mortifying for Bulk Biceps, but thanks to Fluttershy's kindness, everything worked out pretty well. He has a new squirrel buddy, a new hat, and everything is fine now.

So why do things feel uneasy and wrong about this?

Thankfully, Bulk has a good friend with a unique perspective, who might be able to help him realize that it's not really the hat that was the problem in the first place.

Developing romantic feelings for a friend is awkward.

It's extra awkward when you're a ruler, they're an ambassador of another nation, and oh, bonus, they were raised immersed in that nation's culture and so you have no idea if the signals you're trying to give are even being picked up on.

On a visit to Ponyville to catch up with Spike, Ember has just noticed how handsome her first and best friend has gotten, and has no idea what to do with herself about it. She needs to figure that out asap, and so needs some advice, badly. Thankfully, ponies are good with mushy-feely things, so she just needs to track down the local romance expert and shake them down.

And hopefully not burn the town down in the process.

While a stressful headache a lot of the time, being the ruling princess of Equestria does have some perks. One of those being, if Twilight Sparkle wants to celebrate her birthday by inviting all of her friends, she can do so, even if "all" includes those living in a whole alternate reality. Sure, some work will need to be done to make sure that everyone knows who's actually a pony and who's a temporarily-transformed human, and a few of her other friends will need to be informed that the mirror portal exists shortly before being sworn to secrecy about it, but she can make it work.

Agreeing to come to a party in the magic horse dimension had been a no-brainer for Rainbow Dash, and she's ready to party hard, hopefully while having a opportunity to test these wings out in the process, but when she arrives, she notices someone.

Applejack. The other Applejack. On the arm--foreleg?--of the last person she expected.

It turns out there's somebody else at the party experiencing the same shock. Or rather, somepony.

Maybe together they can figure out how they feel about it.

Twilight Sparkle still isn't used to having friends, and one of the side-effects of never having anyone to share her hobbies with means that she has no gauge whatsoever of what's "normal." To her, cobbling together something like her camera drone is just a fun project to spend some spare time on, nothing that's worth a lot of fanfare.

Her friends beg to differ, and after she's convinced to go to Fillydelphia and show off her skills to her fellow robotics enthusiasts, she leaves with a pile of business cards and a whole different perspective on something that had previously been just a hobby. This is something valuable, and once the cheques start rolling in, Twilight isn't quite sure what to do with herself.

Well, no, that's a lie. She knows exactly what to do.

Panic.

An Equestria ravaged by the changeling horde is the last place that somepony would expect a mare of culture and refinement to survive. With the capitol of Canterlot having been the first city taken, the nobility has been wiped out to a pony and Princess Celestia has vanished, the only sign that she's still alive being the fact that the sun continues to rise every morning.

Yet, from the wreckage has come Rarity, a mare who carries herself like a noble and speaks little of her past. Her only companion is a young filly and her only possession is a strange necklace around her neck, the gem of which matches her cutie mark. She claims that said necklace has power, and that now is the time to gather their strength and strike back against the invaders.

Few can deny that this stranger is charismatic, and her words compelling, but the mysteries swirling around her almost eclipse her ruthless determination to liberate Equestria once and for all. In a land where trust is a dangerous gamble, can anypony take the risk?

Or is the greater risk to do nothing at all?

The world is a large place, and so many stories will never be told.

But we can spend a moment with these creatures, and catch just a flash.

The last of the so-called "immortals" is dying.

Magic has been draining from the world, a little more with each generation. The march of industry had taken its place, replacing castles with skyscrapers and enchantments with cybernetics. The world has been falling apart in the wake of the loss, and yet those in power don't care. They've holed up in Canterlot, where alicorns once reigned, and swapped the shining crowns with well-pressed suits.

Where there were princesses, there are now CEOs, and where there were once throne rooms there are board rooms. "Harmony" is a quaint little concept of the past, the kind of things in TV shows for children. The long-lived beings who once guided the direction of nations have perished, dying with the magics that sustained them, and the new elites wrap themselves in wealth and pursue new methods of immortality.

One small community of creatures know that it isn't true that all are gone. They've been harbouring the last, a draconequus by the name of Discord. He claims to have been around during ancient times, that he's been the villain, the hero, and back again more times than anyone can count. But time is taking its toll on even him, and he doesn't have many years left.

He's gathered together a changeling tech, a deer fixer, a griffon operator, a minotaur decker, a hippogriff streamer, and a zebra-shaped synth for what he calls his final act of chaos: The heist of a lifetime, stealing a priceless artefact from the claws of a businessdragon who won't hesitate to kill them if they're caught.

He tells them that the prize will ensure their settlement's future, and that alone is worth the risk. But how?

Equestria is an old nation, and one that has had the luxury of the same, immortal, regime for centuries. While this has given them unprecedent stability, especially in a land that seeks to throw a world-ending threat at them every other Tuesday, it does come with a tendency for the rulers to not so much repeal laws as just ignore them and act as if they've been done away with already.

Most of the time, this works out just fine. Until another immortal--such as, say, a starving royal changeling looking for somepony to help her regain her strength--remembers these laws and invokes them to use to their own advantage. By arriving at Twilight Sparkle's castle and declaring herself a member of Twilight's royal harem.

And she's just the first.

Copies have been made of the entries, and the original is being sent to our friends on the other side of the portal, where they can contain it and scan it for any dark magic. We need to make sure that this doesn't happen again.
