This is an entry to (and just crowned first place winner of!) Nitro Indigo's 2022 November Species Swap contest.
This fic was written in less than a week, because I wanna have fun too!

In this story, Twilight Sparkle is a mer-pony that has recently earned her ascension to become a Queen, but is struggling with her place in the Canterlot Reverie. Meanwhile, a tantalizing voice is calling to her from the surface, giving her rare moments where she can focus on something besides her changing body and life.

Sunset Shimmer didn't end up in High school, she ended up in late 1960s America naked, and alone. While anti-war protests and the drug scene explode around her, Sunset reforges herself as Alice Shiner to survive a foster home, and the world of humans, before coming across a cult and its diarchy of enigmatic leaders that couldn't be any less like the grim but noble Celestia she ran from.

Co-written by Hope and McPoodle, this romp through history and a delicious AU goes deliberately off the rails for the sole purpose of having some dramatic fun.

This story is a sequel to Seconds to spare

Eris has been the student of Luna and element of Harmony for only a year or so, enjoying a new adventurous life in the long cycle of death and rebirth she is used to. But a ghost from the far flung past, Luna's once sister who Eris broke, has escaped her stony prison and seeks to return the favor.

A sequel to Seconds to Spare, the most apparent role-swap involved here is between "Discord" and Celestia, here Eris and Mirage. But in the previous story it was also revealed that Luna has taken Celestia's spot, Starswirl the Bearded took Luna/Nightmare Moon's spot, and all of the elements of harmony took alternate ponies.

Written as an entry to the Swapped Roles contest (with the theme of Reunions).

For readers who may assume this is a generic "Luna and Celestia swap" I beg you to keep reading.

Princess Luna has been ruling Equestria for a thousand years, but as the banishment she enacted long ago comes to an end, she only has her student and a collection of random ponies to rely on, to save the world. If they can save anyone, it'll be just in the nick of time.

Long ago, the Chaos gods were five, and Malal who sought chaos in the destruction of chaos, the heirarch of Anarchy and Terror, was banished. Isolated to an area of space in which it could do no harm to it's former family.

Millions of years later, Princess Celestia observes as the chaos gods, the Imperium, and many other factions begin to arrive in her distant corner of the universe, and reinforces an eons-old quarantine. Ships that attempt to invade go missing or are "reformed" and she has reluctantly let Twilight build up a well prepared planetary defense force.

But when that defense force is put to the test, Celestia decides to call upon the family that once banished her, rather than risk more lives in the conflict.

By a remarkable event of celestial intervention, Rainbow Dash is made homeless, and struggles with how to live her life.

Literally written to the prompt "A celestial object lands in Rainbow's backyard."
She doesn't have a backyard, sooo.... I made it work.

This story is a sequel to Prim Rose's Redemption

This is the second of the Moonlight's Redemption series, written by Hope. It can easily be read as a standalone story.

Four hundred years before the show, this story follows Vivid Colour. She was born blind in the pony country of Bitain in the Griffish isles, long ago seized from the race that it is named after. Despite living her life independently and trying to remain isolated, she finds herself banished from Bitain, and left adrift as a final punishment.

She must find a way to survive on her own, unable to sense beyond the reach of her magic, and often in hostile lands, while all along seeking a way to fill the ache of sorrow and loneliness in her heart.

This is the first of the Moonlight's Redemption series, written by Hope.

Set 1000 years before the show, Princess Luna tells the story of Prim Rose, a young unicorn from a farming community near the coast. To escape from the pain of recently losing her sister, and to try finding some direction in her life, Prim travels all the way to Everfree City and the castle of the Two Sisters, looking for a job. She ends up meaning more to Princess Luna than she could have ever guessed.

This story was written half as MLP fanfiction, and half a love-letter-like story that I wrote for my wife, to bring her some comfort on lonely days.
This story was in part inspired by a story I deleted called Redemption in Moonlight.

Nopony knows all that much about Fluttershy. Her past, her old friends, and a lot about her childhood seems shrouded in mystery. But today, she decides to open up a little.

Rainbow Dash has been reading a lot lately. Not to say that she's an egghead, but maybe she has gained an appreciation for the things books can do. With newfound knowledge and dreams under her wings, she embarks on a quest to make her idea a reality.
