Crossed horns?
Cover art preview by Syryupyyy.
Story serialization starts soon.

Skimpy outfits and unintended innuendo, what more can a clueless Starlight ask for? A short interlude between serious chapters. Enjoy. (Also, remember, authors really like comments, so please add your to the story.)

First off, sorry about the late installment. Health issues on the team, and hardware issues. Anyway, Moon Dancer is back after the ruckus she started in the prologue and being somewhat background afterwards. This is the same Moon Dancer who is Celestia's ward in Sisters in All but Blood, but 599 days later in that story and having had a couple years to get over... well, what's in this

An old friend stops by the hospital room, then another. Then... Where's Thorax? The reality of being powerless returns and Starlight is going to fix it right now. New Chapter Posted (51).

In Public Nightmares, the new four part chapter starting today, Starlight's new life with capital-R Responsibilities becomes a lot more complicated and discomforting. She may avow herself evil, but most who know her know she will do the right thing even if it kills her. She has a control issue, especially if she has no control, as the next installment will show.

In part 2 of 4 of Public Nightmares, what does Starlight do when she realizes she can't cope? She tries harder, but she realizes her hardest opponent may just be her own memory. Warning: This chapter and the next are very emotionally intense.

The last time Starlight fought a griffon, she'd died and had to be revived. This isn't exactly a rematch, but she wants to prove she isn't a one trick pony. (She didn't lose that first fight, but bleeding to death for all practical purposes didn't make it a convincing win, either.) Read Mare's Honor posted 1/23/24.

With mysteries deepening all around her, Starlight takes a moment to enjoy some butter pumpkin bread! Just in time to step a hoof into... yet another mystery.

Starlight is about the realize she isn't a doctor and that she's made a newbie princess mistake. It's going to be a very bad morning...

Quick! Read chapter 45, just posted, albeit late.

In the newly posted chapter 48, Death for the Sake of Love, love proves blinding, literally, and often. Nevertheless, the standoff between her and the sensora (changelings) is also extremely tense. Anything could trigger a cascade of deadly responses...

Tentative description: Starlight Glimmer has never been comfortable with friendship, but the friendship lessons keep coming; something's bound to stick. When Celestia and Moon Dancer's great aunt both aim her at the enigmatic Prince of Equestria, to teach him a lesson, unexpected feelings rear their ugly head. That her choices about him might save or doom Canterlot is simply an added unwelcome bonus.

Hit up the comments and tell me what you think of the cover and anything else.

When you're certain you've died, and evidence supports the supposition, things get weird. Somepony's casting the daily spell. What the heck?

PS: If you were one of the six readers who viewed this chapter post immediately—THANK YOU—but a sync error caused me to post a slightly less corrected (and elegantly written) chapter between 2:50 PM PDT and 3:06 PM PDT.

Yeah, saying any more than the former Ensign makes an appearance would be spoilers. You'll want to read this chapter...!

By Dawn's Early Light Part 2 of two (17) is published. Starlight knows the enigmatic princes has a reputation for being a jerk around the mares. What might be his reasons? Will Starlight be able to deal with it? Read it now!

New chapter! New Cover Art. I colorized it, so if the color style doesn't work for you, blame me. The story becoming more and more awkward and challenging for Starlight and her inexperienced heart is totally my fault (and Blueblood's).

Go read chapter 34, but first take a look at the picture below and the number of views. Not that I'm superstitious, but I hope it changes quickly!

No, she wasn't thrown in the brig for her combative nature. But there's a problem child there. All I have to say is Brother / Grampa, Toe-ma-toe / To-mah-to. A character we know from years later when the show episodes take place appears, somewhat younger. (From wikipedia: The fez has been used as part of soldiers' uniforms in many armies and wars for centuries...)

The latest post (today 8/26 at 4:19 PM PDT), is the first part of a new chapter arc. You aren't expecting this. Again, and again. That's why you are getting three chapters not one! Prepare to be shocked and to feel those feels! The mystery will deepen for many of you, or it will turn into a thriller. Depends on what you're paying attention to. It is now definitely a romance novel. If you enjoy

Two princesses. Two thrones. Two ponies. What could go wrong?

Oh, right! This chapter is illustrated.

Ch43 dropped. Starlight is figuring things out, but will she understand before it's too late? At least Sunburst and her will have a good night... or will they?
