Everyone trusts Princess Celestia’s judgement. The economy is great so far, ponies aren't dealing with any civil or global wars, Equestria has allies and friends all over the planet, and there isn't any post-nuclear fallout to worry about.

Though one day, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and Prince Shining Armour receive the most peculiar of requests from Celestia herself; to reform an individual that has perpetrated many a crime against Equestria and its citizens.
Cadance and Shining aren't pleased with the individual that is to become their protégé, let alone their friend.

Twilight has a bit of a problem. You see, she always does Princess Celestia's bidding, regardless of how ridiculous the task or insane the request. Now, it'd be just a shame if someone were to abuse this knowledge to their own malicious ends. The only question is, how far will they go?

Thanks to my amazing editor Maskedferret for all the help!

Tirek has won, and Twilight's friends are gone. She and the other princesses have just one chance left. Maybe if one of them can go back, she can warn them right when he escapes and stop this all from happening.

It might be a long shot, but it's the only chance they have left.

My ponies come up with some strange ideas; and so do I.

What follows is the best, and arguably the weirdest day of Celestia's life. (and at her age that's saying something)

Enjoy.

The life of a mother is challenging, but the life of an expectant one is excruciating. Maybe one day, Princess Cadance can reach the challenging part. For now, all she faces is the cold bathroom floor and a solid bout of nausea, and she is losing miserably.

Can she survive this morning?

The princesses gave their magic to Twilight to prevent Tirek from stealing it. As a result, they end up stuck in Tartarus.

Marvelous place, Tartarus. Really brings ponies together. The fact that things manage to go downhill here says a lot about the wonders of family and alicornhood.

...and this fic is the fic that pierced Twilight's Library on 7/20/2014!

"Your special day, we celebrate now, the pony way..."

Weddings are happy occasions, aren't they, a time to celebrate the union of two hearts? If there's any day a girl should be happy, it should be her wedding day. What could be more wonderful than being together with the one you love and promising to theirs forever and to hear that they'll be yours even longer?

The Bride wouldn't know. All that matters to her is this special day, this day of hers.

She was made for this day, after all.

"Love is in bloom...a beautiful bride..."

A dragon has lived alone for centuries in a cave far beneath the earth. When a pony trespasses on his domain through no fault of her own, what will become of her?

Are you the kind of person who would rather experience this story with your ears than your eyes? You're in luck! Here's a reading of the story courtesy of Thornquill!

It's the End. Equestria has fallen. Her lands are black and sick. Her skies are dark and cold. All that lives is dead – or corrupted by a foe long thought gone.

Millions of lives are lost, among them heroes and princesses, with its remaining survivors forced to retreat to their last safe haven. For five years, they have struggled to survive, dealing with sieges, rebellions, starvation, and death. The Pony Race is all but doomed.

But hope may yet live.

Not all of the Elements have perished. Two survive, and these two final bastions of Ponykind will make an effort to ride into the coming darkness to end it once and for all...

...or be swallowed by it like everything else.
