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.)

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.

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.

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.

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

By Dawn's Early Light Part I of two is published. Read it now! The time is approximately three years prior to The Canterlot Wedding. A somewhat more innocent Cadance is learning about love, but wants to clobber Starlight Glimmer because she hurt Shining Armor. Yes, she's protective of her coltfriend, but when Starlight mentions the Do-Nothing Prince, she reacts jealously.

Meltdown Part 1 of two (ch18) has been published! Sunset Shimmer rescues Starlight from the full onslaught of school peer pressure, whisking her off to the little fillies room, of course, to give Starlight a good talking to. Because Sunset is going from MacGuffin to full-out major secondary character, I am switching out the Celestia tag for the Sunset Shimmer tag. I want to notify the

Meltdown Part 2 of three (ch19) has been published! Starlight is way too fragile today, it seems. Then she learns something shocking about Firefall. Twilight shows up, and while she demonstrates they have a lot in common, well... she is Twilight Sparkle, right?

This chapter introduces a new character. You may have figured out that the novel is firmly in alternate universe territory. Starlight never becomes a princess in canon, nor is Twilight named crown princess, thought clearly she was one. There's a pony who went on to become

Great chapter title, right? Read chapter 38 to find out why. You know you're going to...

Starlight doesn't realize her life is becoming more complex as she learns of a strange connection to one of her new companions.

I am aiming to release part III of this chapter Friday...

I've finished the titles, and added sparkles because, well that's the trope for novels of this type. The cover art is by @SyrupyyyArt. To see the cover art, click the Read More button. It's just a matter of the proofreading of my rewrite of chapters 1 and 2 to complete before publication begins.

As Rarity would say, GAH! I posted the contents of chapter 49 instead of 47 at about 7:51 PM PDT. A big sorry! I discovered and posted the correct chapter 47 around 9:25 PM PDT. Do return and read the corrected chapter. If you were so unfortunate that, in your excitement to finally see a belated update (sorry about that, too), and found you had no context for what
