Celestia opens one door. And then another...

Canterlot is silent and Celestia stands alone, weapon ready as she stalks her greatest foe yet in the dawn hours. Will she fight a monster or risk becoming one?

Personally, Celestia has had few surprises — oh, there were a few: the unexpected return of her dear sister, Discord, the Crystal Empire's, and Tirek's escape. But most things, she finds, are nice and calculated... until now.

It's that time of year again: Hearth's Warming Day is here, and Shining Armor is going to bring his marefriend to dinner!

Princess Luna disappears from Equestria with hopes of saving the world and is accompanied by the enigmatic Sombra. Meanwhile, Celestia tries to bury secrets as immortal as she is and Cadance must choose her loyalties carefully...

Shining Armor plans to introduce his marefriend, Cadance, to his parents for Hearth's Warming dinner. It’s months away, but it never hurt to plan ahead, after all. First, however, Cadance and him have to talk.

As the day of her wedding grows nearer, Cadance finds herself more stressed out with each passing day. Could talking with a mare as distant as Princess Luna help?

The night that Cadance discovered the ghost of King Sombra lurking in the Crystal Palace should have been the worst of her life. Her greatest enemy is now lingering in her own home... and she knows that she's going to get to the bottom of this.

Discord has wonderful news for Celestia! In fact, it's news so wonderful that it might render her speechless... which is a good thing, right?

With his reformation at the hooves of Fluttershy, friendship for Discord doesn't seem like an impossibility. Now, he tries to regain a friend that he lost ages ago.

Summoning a demon is one of the worst things anypony can do, but what happens when you're worse than the demon?

Princess Cadance tries to inquire into the meaning of life, and finds nopony better to confide her worries in than her fellow princess, Luna.

Rarity and Twilight attempt to make their foals breakfast. It had seemed like a good idea at first...

It's too early for everything in the mind of Donut Joe... especially a dramatic coltfriend!

On the eve of a great adventure, a young Luna sits outside and watches the stars.
