Princess Luna knows her sister is hiding something. Whatever she may say, 'Daybreaker' did not seem to be some construct of Starlight Glimmer's psyche. It had been far too strong for that.

But Luna will learn that sometimes it is better to leave well enough alone. The truth is not always kind.

My entry for the Dear Love: A Beautiful Discord contest, in which this won second place. The Seattle's Angels Review can be found here.

Thanks to Snu AKA Snowybee, Miller Minus and MewKat for lending their ears, and their pre-reading skills (for Chapters 1-3). I definitely would not have finished this in time without them.

If I had to sum this story up: what if you could interview the devil, and he told you that there were Bigger Fish to Fry?

Twilight and Celestia couldn't be happier with their lives. That is until Chrysalis comes along to ruin that.

This is a short story. The chapters are meant to be this short.

Tomorrow, Cadance will turn six hundred and forty eight. It's been a tough few years, but who doesn't look forward to their own birthday?

Cadance certainly will be, but first she's eager to share a dream with somepony close to her.

One thing is for certain: it will be an unforgettable night.

I have a deep admiration and romantic feeling for Princess Luna. One day while I am talking to myself in the park about my love for her, I see a certain blue alicorn laying down behind a bush like a lion. I immediatly fall in love with her and decide to introduce myself to her. For two months she lives with me and during that time we form a wonderful relationship.

For centuries, ponykind thought Princess Platinum's splendorous silver crown lost for all time, but it has been found. Twilight Sparkle, the self-proclaimed Princess of Thieves, has tracked it down to the long-fallen Diamond Dog kingdom of Erebark, and means to enter the mountain to retrieve her kin's lost heirloom and settle scores with Princess Celestia.

Unfortunately, there are one or two details she didn't realize going into this mess. Namely, that she'll need to steal from the gilded gallery of one of the mightiest dragons ever to walk the land.

Oops.

When Luna dreamwalks and discovers just how much hurt and anger Twilight is hiding, along with a few dark secrets, she feels she must intervene, before Twilight heads down the same path she herself did.

WARNING: First chapter has a suicide attempt, the following chapters are dealing with the aftermath of said suicide attempt.

Twice, they denied her a great victory. Twice, she was left humiliated and beaten by pony hooves. But if there's one lesson Queen Chrysalis surely learned, it was revenge. If there was a second, it was where to stick the dagger in a loving mother.

But there are some things even she can't foresee.

Sunset thinks and decides a few things after the fall out of Anon-a-Miss and then her life after that

After his defeat and his death, the Storm King's spirit ends up in Tartarus and meets Lord Tirek, who admonishes him for not living up to a standard of evil that Equestria's villains are supposed to live by.

As the eldest, Celestia was expected to show reliability and set an example. It's all so unfair and stress inducing that she becomes distraught and miserable. She turns to Luna for support and confesses all her feelings and doubts. What can Luna do to help?
