"In The Precocious Princeling's Guide to Diplomatic Relations, there are three rules for how a royal ought to conduct himself abroad.

1. A diplomat of Equestria must obey all local laws of the nation they are assigned to.
2. A diplomat of Equestria should advocate for the interests of Equestria to the best of their abilities.
3. Under no circumstance should a diplomat of Equestria get involved in the following: Political parties, popular uprisings, peasant revolutions, class solidarity movements, coups d'etat, or other attempts at regime change, violent or otherwise.

By the time I had finished my tenure in Saddle Arabia, I had broken all three."
-Prince Blueblood, First of His Name

Shining Armor is... mostly aware of what his little sister's been up to since the Friendship Games. Cadence keeps him in the loop, but she refuses to talk about some topics, insisting that it isn't her place to discuss them. When his phone rang a few moments ago, he thought Twilight had finally decided the time was right.

He's not entirely wrong, but he'll soon wish he had been.

An entry in the Shining Armor is a Terrible Dad Competition.

This story is a sequel to The Twilight Enigma

With the queen of Twilight Town present, the Storm King's invasion of Canterlot goes badly for his commander and minions. Not satisfied with a mere victory, Captain Blackmane and her friends go on the hunt. Twilight is determined to find the Storm King and make sure he will never be able to harm anyone ever again. It's obviously a mission of reasonable prevention, not murderous revenge. Obviously... Right?

Book 4 of the Alicorn Adventure series.
Sequel to The Twilight Enigma and prequel to The Skyla Pseudonym.

We all know how Celestia and Luna defeated Discord and earned their ascension to the throne, but not all of us know about the ponies who thought to challenge him before. Young, naive, and bold, a simple country unicorn decides to make the journey and challenge Equestria's new tyrant.

Heavily inspired by The Metamorphoses, "Paradise Lost", and ancient Greek tragedy.

As is tradition post-Twilight-Really-Messed-Up-The-Multiverse, the Prime Rarityship Council has its latest meeting. What bonds these Raritys together? The simple fact that they’re all dating a different member of their close friend group.

Commission for Dimbulb.

This story is a sequel to Compassionate Compensation

Celestia has always considered herself a simple mare, in spite of her regal, demigod status, and there are few things that have brought her more joy than her dearest, most irate frenemy. Lingering outside a small gala she organized, she keeps her hooves crossed that her plus-one takes her carefully laid bait and joins her.

Rarity tells a tale. A tale of how the most perfect woman in her eyes had gone from a bully to a the object of Rarity's desires to that woman asking her out.

Of course, this is Rarity, so she may have gone a bit romantic about the tale.

Just shy of two decades before the return of Nightmare Moon, Princess Celestia received an ultimatum from the Griffon Kingdom's recently ascended heir: Concede a part of Equestria, or prepare for war.

The Princess chose neither, instead ordering her engineers to create a craft great enough to terrify the griffons and put an end to the war before it could have even begun. Two years after her order, Equestria had constructed its greatest airship yet, the Lux Aeterna.

With no time to spare, the craft was sent on its way almost immediately after its construction was finished, carrying with it five hundred esteemed guests and nearly a hundred crewponies. However, such a massive endeavour piqued the interest of not just the griffons', but also of an ancient presence nopony could foresee, let alone contend with...
