The rainbow laser crashes into the sirens, breaking their power. But rather than changing into normal human girls, they change back into half-fish half-horse sirens. That and they are as small as cats.

The heroes of CHS decide to look after them.

Happy Easter 2017~!

This story is a sequel to Hive Alive

After the chaotic series of events that created it, Twilight's small hive is now positioned with her at the peak of Equestrian authority. Not all are pleased by this. A coup has just been averted and the plots of those behind it may still be in motion.

With all other alicorns away and Discord gone with them, Equestria's history will be written by only one mare. She and her hive of friends and lovers are already being dragged into the tragedy of power-seeking pony elites, invaders, and ancient evils.

It begins as Cloudsdale falls...

GENERAL NOTES
1. Please see the age rating note below for a disclaimer on content and general story mood.
2. This is the direct sequel to Hive Alive. There is no significant time jump between stories.
3. Due to the length of Hive Alive and the time since it was finished, I have put together a useful timeline summary. Those interested in remembering key details from the 230,000+ word story will be able to do so easily. It is posted in a blog entry here.
4. Recommended to be read with the background color set to "Dark" via Formatting. It's the changeling thing to do. Chrysalis approved.

UPDATES
Biweekly. One new 3,000-4,000 word chapter every other Wednesday.

FULL TIMELINE SUMMARY OF HIVE ALIVE (for those that want to refresh themselves)

AGE AND CONTENT RATING
Rated Teen for violence, non-graphic injury, some crude language or terminology, innuendo, and suggestive content. No explicit scenes or descriptions will be included. Deaths may be mentioned but are not detailed. The intent of the story is not to be entirely serious or dark and therefore is not tagged as such. There will be more cheery scenes to come after the beginning chapters and thus this should not be confused with going the path of improperly tagged grimdark.

Alternate front cover is in progress.

This story is a sequel to Twilight Shimmer

Sunset Shimmer has had many good Christmas Days together with her wife Twilight Shimmer and their child. This is looking to be one more of them when Sunset gets something she requested just before the holiday. Although a part of her misses the world of her past, she would never give her present life up...

NOTES
1. Please be sure to watch all the Equestria Girls movies, as this does contain spoilery material otherwise.
2. Happens some time after the last chapter of Twilight Shimmer.
3. No explicit scenes, but some suggestive material.
4. Fifth consecutive Christmas special I've done.

Warning: minor spoilers for Legend of the Everfree. Very minor, though, and nothing beyond sneak peeks.

Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle each feel something for one another but are not all too convinced a confession would go over well. Tent arrangements give them a chance and a moment of impulse forces Sunset into action.

Hype fluff for Legend of the Everfree coming out later this year. Get your Sunlight on! Rated teen for suggestive themes. No explicit scenes. All characters 18 or over.

This story is a sequel to Twilight Shimmer

Twilight Shimmer wants something more for her married life with her true love. She wants another member of the family. At the same time, she learns just how much she and Sunset mean to Rainbow Dash. As the years pass, the concept of family only becomes stronger.

NOTES
1. Takes place a few years after the early chapters of Twilight Shimmer. Notes will be made in that story when it passes by this one.
2. Fourth consecutive Christmas special I've done.

Starlight took a chance and decided to give friendship a try once more. With nowhere else to go, she stays with Twilight. Being such a powerful magic user, Twilight doesn't feel like letting her go would be a good idea. But how much has Starlight really reformed? She spent much time following the purple pony princess. Perhaps she can use her understanding of the mare towards another end.

This story is a sequel to Snow and Ribbon

Party Favor confessed his feelings to Double Diamond, who returned them. Neither stallion knows where to go from there but they're trying nonetheless. The only problem is that they don't know what to do about Night Glider. The female pegasus has a serious problem regarding Sugar Belle. Obsession can't be healthy for a relationship, can it?

NOTES
1. This story also takes place after My Baker.
2. Contains M/M and F/F. Also, some obsession and hijinks.

Art by BlackWater (me)

Night Glider is in a tight spot. Ever since she and her friends got their cutie marks back, she started having feelings. She doesn't want to rush matters because Sugar Belle hasn't shown any kind of return interest. Night Glider doesn't even know if she likes mares. She also doesn't want to look like a copycat since Double Diamond and Party Favor so recently committed to each other.

Just because she's physically active doesn't mean she's short on intelligence. A plan has already taken root in her mind. The local psychological analyst has notes from one of Sugar Belle's appointments. She just has to see the notes to determine her chances...

NOTES
1. This is a Sugar Glider tie-in with Snow and Ribbon.
2. Partly-one-sided F/F mini-story.
3. It will continue in Snow and Ribbon's sequel.
4. Made the Popular Stories list.

Another day, another skiing trip. Double Diamond now has the blessing of having a friend accompany him on his outings. On the other hoof, he finds it strange that Party Favor goes with him more often than Sugar Belle or Night Glider. Something is up with the balloon-making stallion. But what?

Perhaps a little advice from a local specialist might point him in the right direction.

NOTES
1. The story involves season 5 spoilers. Watch the first two episodes before reading this.
2. This is M/M fluff.
3. Double Favor for the win.
4. I'll add in the character tags if/when Double Diamond and Party Favor get any.
5. Made the Popular Stories list.

This story is a sequel to The Calming Christmas Flame

On a cold snowy Christmas night, the question finally came out and Twilight accepted. But that joyous moment of certainty was not the last moment of their lives. Many years lie ahead and marriage is not a free ticket to perfection. With their friends by their side, the new couple fights to steer clear of the typical bout of relationship problems. Like putting the toilet paper roll on backwards...

At least there's the honeymoon, right?

NOTES
1. Please be sure to watch all the Equestria Girls movies, as this does contain spoilery material otherwise.
2. This is the sequel to The Calming Christmas Flame. I'll admit V-Day Fire was just a tease. ;)
3. The story's primary Twilight is the one from the human world, NOT from the pony world.
4. Dog Spike is a dog. He doesn't talk in this story.
5. Please understand that this is rated Teen, not Mature. There will be no explicit scenes.
6. I started this back in March. Love won. Does that make me a hipster? (I kid.)
