Twilight has begun to struggle with the sudden changes brought upon by her acension. But are her troubled thoughts entirely her own? Or has an enemy believed to be defeated managed one last trap to bring about his return?

Princess Celestia can anticipate, and prepare, for almost anything. However, after overlooking an important detail, will she discover that not everything in life needs a plan?

And they lived happily ever after. Well, sort of. Princess Cadance and Shining Armor are finding that running the Crystal Empire is a far more challenging task then either of them had ever anticipated.

Years before the return of the Elements of Harmony the beginning of the end of the millennium of peace under the sole rule of Celestia was already beginning to occur. At the center are Shining Armor and Cadence.

Another Nightmare Night and Fluttershy is left all by herself with only the animals to keep her company.
