One thousand years ago, history was changed.

One thousand years ago, Nightmare Moon was killed.

One thousand years ago, Equestria broke, and Celestia had to put it back together.

[Originally planned to be a longer fic. I might return to this and continue it beyond just a one-shot in future.]

Celestia has become emotionally withdrawn and disconnected from her little ponies. The imprisonment of Luna compounded with the constant loss of any who got close to her, she has forgotten how to connect with another pony. Until a small, injured filly who is equally distant after the loss of her parents stumbles into Celestia's life. Now, both ponies will help the other heal and rediscover once more what it truly means to be a pony.

A 'Mommylestia' story, the concept of which has been in my head for some months. I will be sticking rather close to canon for events, the major differences are that Twilight's parents are dead, and Shining Armor is a few years older and already dating Cadance at the time of this incident. I plan to keep mostly everything else the same.

Everything you thought you knew about equestrian history is WRONG.
This fanfic follows the creation and the TRUE history of Equestria through the eyes of a secret society, the Children of Night. Each chapter are/will be intertwining short stories that divulge on the history and back story of the holidays, landmarks, artifacts, families and events important to Equestrian culture. It is told through the point of view of Diamond Apple, a unicorn in the earth pony dominant apple family. While reading this story you should think to yourself "History is written by the victors."

Apple Bloom is sick and tired of having to do everything Applejack tells her just because she's the younger of the two. So when a certain embodiment of chaos offers to fulfill her desire to be the older sister, how could she say no? After all, she's always wanted to be older. This, however, wasn't exactly how she envisioned it.

Written for the Transformations group's prompt contest!

Thanks to Bitz for the cover art!

Fluttershy loves animals. Her special talent is taking care of them, after all. However, there is a darker side that her friends rarely see. Ever so often, a creature under her care suffers and not even she can fix it. She has grown accustomed to doing what needs to be done in those situations.

Perhaps a little too accustomed. When a tragedy hits close to home for her, she realizes that there are others out there suffering, and she can help them.

She is the Element of Kindness after all.
