Celestia has a few kinks she'd like to work out. Her lover, Twilight Sparkle, doesn't understand them, but she plays along. Things get out of hand.

Celestia has needs that her girlfriend, Twilight Sparkle, doesn't particularly understand. She decides that the best way to explain herself is by hands-on demonstration. To help in her task, she employs her 'evil' half, Tyrant Sun. Surely nothing could go wrong with this plan...

Part of a pair. The other is over yonder.

Fair warning, this is a humanized Equestria story (but not an EQ Girls story). There's an OC involved too, along with a a bit of light S&M and an...unorthodox magical trick or two. And a quick word on human-ed pony physiology. Where a unicorn might have a horn, humanized unicorns have a gem, usually in the shape their cutie mark would be. They're also sensitive to touch, and tend to discharge magic at random when suitably excited. Wings still exist, but the Princesses can banish theirs at will, because they get the best of everything. And totally not because I kind of forgot about them. They are also sensitive.

On the Importance of Proper Communication.

“So,” Celestia began. “I understand your position, Twilight. But have you ever really tried it?”

It was the next day. They were having a light breakfast, as far away from Luna’s part of the castle as possible. Both were dressed rather more reasonably than before, but alas, Celestia had made it clear that she wasn’t going to let the events of last night go.

“Well, no, but-”

“Then it’s hardly fair to declare that you can’t enjoy it, isn’t it?” The elder Princess smiled softly to lessen the harshness of her interruption.

Twilight frowned, buttering her toast with a bit more effort than was entirely necessary.

“Ok, sure, but I just don’t understand why anybody would even want that! I mean, you want me to…” her voice went soft, as though she were afraid someone was listening in. “To pretend to be evil, and tie you up, and treat you like a slave and s-“ her voice dropped further, embarrassed to even say the words “s-spank you and, I mean, isn’t that just kind of…abusive?” She stuffed a corner of bread into her mouth. “I mean, you’re Princess Celestia! You rule half the world! You’re immortal and mighty and…” she gestured with her over-buttered bread. “Tall. You’re the Unconquered Sun! You don’t sleep with bad guys, you fight them. I just…I don’t see why you would want any of the stuff you want me to do.”

“Well, I think you’ve hit on it right there, sweetie. I do rule. I have for eons now. Every day, I have the responsibility to telling my people what they can and cannot do. I have to make decisions that affect, even determine, the lives of thousands. Millions now, actually. My word can seal a person’s fate, Twilight. Did it occur to you that such a duty might wear on me, from time to time?”

“Er, sure. Ok. B-“

“And, that being the case, that maybe I might like for someone else take over for a bit? Hand over the reins, if you will? Let someone I love and trust do a bit of determining my fate, if just for a little while. It’s honestly kind of liberating in a way, being told what to do. I know that probably sounds backwards.” She smiled endearingly.

Twilight’s lovely little mouth worked as she tried to marshal some kind of defense. She took another bite of toast to buy some time.

“Fine,” she said, swallowing. “But why the um, bondage? And the villain thing?”

“Well, I suppose it’s true that I am all of those things you said, Twilight, and that yes, I do mostly fight villains, rather than engage with them in other ways. But fighting is passionate. Surely you’ve noticed that, in your adventures? A good battle is exciting! It makes you feel alive! Taking a stand against some nemesis in glorious personal combat is just..." Celestia shivered as a little thrill went through her at the thought of it. “It’s like a physical affirmation of everything you believe in.”

“Right, but you want to pretend to lose.”

“Oh, well, sometimes you can sort of…win by losing? I’ve pulled a few punches in my time, only to ‘conquer’ my opponent in other ways.”

Twilight sputtered out half the tea she’d been drinking.

“Wait, what!? You’ve lost on purpose!? And then…what?”

Celestia shrugged with a sheepish smile.

“Not lost, exactly. Better to say that I allowed a draw. Most of Equestria’s nemeses aren’t really that evil, as I’m sure you’ve observed. Many can be surprisingly reasonable after a good scrap and a bit of, ah, intimate time with their erstwhile opponent.” More seriously, she said. “It can be tiresome, taking a fall when you’d rather just punt someone into the Sun, but that’s all part of rulership, Twilight. You learn to make compromises for the sake of your people. You’ve never seen what happens when I truly throw myself at an enemy, so I suppose you’ll just have to take my word for it, but this way really is far better for all involved. You still have to be careful, because they are villains after all, and that takes some of the fun out of it, but it works.”

“Oh,” said her paramour. Recent events involving villains in Equestria were starting to make a lot more sense to Twilight.

“But doing such things with someone you love, someone you know won’t betray your trust, that’s completely different, baby. It’s really not abusive at all, as long as your partner is into it. It’s like a game. Just a fun bit of fantasy, where we can do all the things we maybe want to do but normally never would, or are afraid to ask for. And I trust you, Twilight. I love you. And so I want to share this part of myself with you. And I want you to feel like you can do the same with me. I promise, I’ll never judge you for anything you want in bed. I’ve always prided myself on being a very giving lover. In fact,” she said, fully aware that she was flagrantly cheating in the relationship game by playing her cards this way, “I seem to recall that we’ve already done several things that I wasn’t entirely comfortable with at your very convincing insistence.” She smiled a completely reasonable smile. And pushed her breasts up just a bit so they pressed tight against her dress. Twilight had a rather charming fascination with them, and why play only one hand when you have two?

“Um…” said Twilight, eyes focused somewhere under Celestia’s face.

"Like that time we did it on the balcony of my room, even though you know how I worry about people seeing us? And then in the Royal gardens, right after the Summer Sun Celebration? Or when you dressed up in your little schoolgirl outfit and somehow persuaded me to have my way with you over a desk, and had me call you my most faithful student, despite my numerous reserve-”

"OK! Ok, I get it! You can stop!" Twilight was incandescently blushing, caught between embarrassment and laughter. It was adorable.

"But, um, did you really not like it?" asked Twilight, honestly surprised. "The schoolgirl thing?" Celestia had certainly seemed enthusiastic enough at the time.

"Oh, I did. It just took some effort. I still remember you when you actually were in school, Twilight. The idea of doing the things that we did with a teenaged you is just..." She shuddered a little.

"Really!? I had no idea! I'm so sorry!"

Celestia waved her concerns away.

"It's nothing, Twilight. Really, don't worry. I had a delightful time once I got over it. But this is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. I never, ever would have done such a thing with you when you were in school, even if I’d known how you felt about me. But now that we're all adults, it's just a fun game we can play, even if it's not my favorite."

"Hrmm. Put that way," said Twilight, tapping her fork on a plate, "it looks like I owe you one. Ok, I’ll try again. Even if I totally don’t get why you’re into being dominated or whatever. You’ve convinced me.”

Celestia sat back, satisfied and certain that everyone was going to come out ahead on this.

"Thank you, sweetie. I think you’ll like it once you get into it. But, actually, I thought we might go at this from a different direction than last time?”

Twilight raised an eyebrow.

“As it happens,” began Celestia, poking at a bit of breakfast. “I have a, well, I guess you would call her an alter-ego.”

“Oh, I can’t wait to hear this. Um, darling?”

Twilight wasn’t the best at the pet name thing, but she tried.

“Yes, well, she’s more like…like an aspect of myself, I suppose, than an alter-ego.”

“Like Nightmare Moon and the Tantabus are for Luna?

“No! No, I wouldn’t go that far,” said Celestia, backpedaling. “The only reason I bring her up is that, in the same way I sometimes like to be ’dominated,’ as you put it, she likes to be the dominator.” She glanced up to see how Twilight took that.

“Ok,” she said, cautiously. “So, you want to…what?”

"Well, I thought I’d have you meet her. And maybe she could show you how to play the game.”

“Oh. Alright, sure. Does she have a name?”

“Yes. It’s, ah, Tyrant Sun.”

Twilight looked very, very dubious.

Celestia just smiled.

“I know. I know it sounds bad. But she’s no trouble, I promise.” It had been a couple of millennia since she’d last tried to conquer the world, after all. She and Celestia were over all that.

“Hrmm. Well. If you say so.”

“Wonderful! Oh, and one more thing.”

“Ok.”

“You should tell me a safe word.”

“A…safe word?”

Celestia could physically see the reservations mounting up in Twilight’s mind.

“It’s something people do when they’re…well, it’s in case you want to stop. If things get too intense.”

“Um. Why wouldn’t I just say I want to stop?”

“That’s all part of the game, honey. Remember how I said it’s a way to do all the things you normally wouldn’t?”

“So, ok, wait. If I tell you to stop while we’re playing this ‘game,’ you won’t? Unless I say the safe word?”

“Yes.” Celestia folded her hands in front of her and tried to make that sound reasonable. “It makes sense when you’re in the moment. You’ll see. Just say the word, and I, or Tyrant Sun, in this case, will stop whatever we’re doing immediately, no questions asked. But it should be something that has no place in the bedroom.” She hoped her smile didn’t look as desperate as it felt, because Twilight’s little frown was growing ever more worrisome. “It really isn’t…just…please?

Maybe it had been that bit about how she loved Twilight and trusted her, or perhaps it was just the girl’s insatiable curiosity, but to Celestia’s surprise and delight, her girlfriend agreed with only a shrug and no further argument.

“Ok. Pumpernickel.”

"Pardon?”

“That’s my safe word. Pumpernickel.”

Celestia swelled with happiness.

“Oh, thank you, Twilight. I promise this will be better than you think. And that’s a good word. Very cute.”

“Right. Sure. So,” she said, drumming her fingers on the table. “Should I wear anything special? For this totally-normal-and-not-at-all-weird thing we’re doing?”

~~~

Twilight arrived at Celestia’s chambers later that evening, wearing the same schoolgirl outfit she’d worn that one time, when Celestia’d had her over the desk. Celestia might not be into that particular bit of costuming, but apparently this ‘Tyrant Sun’ loved it.

She wasn’t sure what to expect with all this. Her first talk with Celestia on the villain roleplay thing, which had been little more than ‘dress in this, pretend to be evil,’ had resulted in that earlier disaster, so she was a little nervous. How else was a girl supposed to feel about meeting someone named Tyrant? The dimmed lighting and empty halls weren’t helping. She pulled her skirt down for like, the thousandth time tonight. The little pleated skirt was technically wearable in public, but maybe only for certain occasions. Nightmare Night, for instance, when girls could get away with being well over half-naked, and dressing as an older, hotter version of your high-school self was a totally normal thing to do. And maybe only for someone who didn’t mind having people check out her butt all night. Twilight didn’t. She might be rather, ah, ‘efficiently built’ up top, but everyone agreed, her backside was something really special. A national treasure, Celestia had once called it. She may have been drinking at the time.

Under the skirt, good, old-fashioned white cotton. There were fancier options, but there was just something classically sexy about a nice pair of simple, white cotton panties. And it fit the theme, besides. Her blue, button up shirt barely held these days. Twilight kind of liked that. It really brought what modest charms she had to the fore. Just put 'em right out there. She’d decided against a bra because why even bother? She hadn’t brought her old backpack. She’d thought about it, just to stay in character, but figured it was a bit much. Anyway…

She raised a hand to knock on the doors, but they creaked open before she’d even touched them.

“Enter,” intoned a dusky, darkly feminine voice.

Twilight’s brows rose. She hesitated a bit before obeying, but obey she did. She stepped into the darkened room. Only a few, small, distant candles lit the normally glowing chamber. They ringed the room, leading to the huge banister bed that Twilight was now well familiar with. The doors drifted shut behind her.

“Um. Princess?” Twilight spoke into the dark.

“Princess?” responded the voice, slightly indignant.

The whole room came to life as a series of little fires ignited. The warm, sensual tones of torchlight led to what could only be called a throne. Maybe even an altar. The woman upon it didn’t sit. She sprawled. Reclined. One long, smooth leg was draped over the other. A hand held up Tyrant Sun’s chin. The other toyed with a bit of flame, held in her palm, being rolled up and over it like a juggler’s ball. She flowed up out of the seat as Twilight stared, snuffing the fire with a flick of her jeweled wrist. She strutted forward, hips swaying, stopping some few yards away.

Even at this first glance, Tyrant Sun was as far distant from Celestia as noon from night.

Tyrant Sun’s hair was the molten red of a savage dawn, highlighted with a bright orange, like liquid iron. It didn’t wave in some untouchable wind, but poured like a river of magma, the tips dancing with white-hot fire, shimmering and restless. She reached languorously up with both hands and ran long, ruby-painted fingers through that molten cascade, splaying it out as Twilight watched, momentarily dumbfounded.

Her face was the same as Celestia’s, her hands and breasts and hips the very same that Twilight knew and loved, but they were all so impossibly different at the same time. And her eyes. Goddess, those burning eyes! Twilight felt like she was being consumed, just being near this woman, and that was by no means a complaint. Sun let her hair fall down past her lower back as Twilight watched, sliding easily into a pose that really showed off everything she was. She grinned, diamond-white teeth flashing behind crimson lips.

“No, my dear. I am not your Princess.”

She wore all gold and black and crimson. It could almost be mistaken for armor, but like, fantasy novel armor. Her broad shoulders were out in the open, muscle unhidden. Her chest, which could only be described with words like ‘fulsome’ or ‘plentiful’ or other words with ‘full’ in them somewhere, pushed up against a bodice of some black, shimmery, unfeasibly form-fitting cloth, shot through with lines of shining metal. They were laced tight with glittering gold chain. A wide collar came down off around them, drawing one’s attention to what lay between, as if that needed doing. As Twilight’s eyes followed the costume’s lines down, she saw it was a bit like a one-piece swimsuit, ending between the swell of those glorious thighs. Over her hips, Tyrant Sun wore something like a belt or sash of heavy vermilion cloth. It did absolutely nothing to hide her figure and everything to emphasize it. On her legs, boots a bit like those Twilight had worn before, but…more. Thigh high, they were black and gold, again almost like armor, and led down to a truly astounding pair of shining, stiletto heels.

“My eyes are up here, darling.” She drew Twilight’s attention back up with the flick of finger.

Her arms were graced with décor much like the rest of her. Sleeves of sable and gold ran from her hands to past her elbows, held on not by gloves, but only a thin string that looped around her middle finger. It left her hands free to wear glittering rings and jingling bracelets and other adornments. The same hand that had snatched up Twilight’s gaze slid over Tyrant Sun’s flank, over her chest, up her throat. She crossed one arm under the other, resting her chin upon that hand, posing once more. She tapped one finger against her cheek, watching herself being watched.

She wore Celestia’s crown, Twilight finally noticed, but the gem within was a seething crimson, the same color as her nails, lips and eyes.

Saying nothing, Tyrant Sun spun into a turn that would have shamed even the haughtiest of fashion models, raising her arms above herself, making absolutely sure that Twilight noticed how well-fitted that outfit was with a slow, smooth shake of her hips at the end. She watched over her shoulder, wanting, demanding, to see her lover's speechless appreciation.

Twilight didn’t know her mouth was open.

“I trust you are suitably impressed.”

Not a question. A statement. Twilight tried to come up with an answer anyway.

“I, uh, yeah-er.”

Tyrant Sun turned back to face her, raising an imperious eyebrow.

“Surely you can do better than that.”

To say her voice was sexy would entirely fail to capture it. It smoked. It smoldered.

“O-of course! You’re uh, well, you’re, I mean,” Twilight flexed her hands. This was normally where she gave up on words and just jumped on Celestia. Touch was a much better way to communicate anyway. She stepped forward.

Tyrant crossed her arms over her chest, blocking Twilight as effectively as if she’d put up a wall.

“You’re normally so clever with that tongue of yours. Do you need me to help you, little girl? Why don’t you start with a compliment?”

Ok, well, that was kind of…insulting. But it did finally get Twilight’s brain working again.

“Right! W-*ahem* You, my lady, are gorgeous.”

Tyrant Sun looked down her nose, unimpressed.

“Incomparable? Transcendent! A goddess!”

Tyrant’s eyes lit up.

“Yes! Transcendent. A Goddess. I like that. Come, my little student,” she reached one hand toward Twilight. “Tell me more.”

Twilight jumped to take the offered hand. Wait. she wondered. Ok, hold on. What are we doing, exactly? She’d thought Tyrant Sun was going to explain the ‘game.’ Apparently she’d decided they should just play it, instead.

Tyrant Sun gripped her hand as soon as Twilight touched it. She raised it slightly up over her head. Twilight wasn’t sure what to do, and so, still a bit overwhelmed, she just kind of stood there.

Tyrant Sun gazed down at her. Was she actually taller than Celestia, or did it just seem that way?

“Come now, sweetling. Surely you know the basics, at least?”

“I, uh…”

Tyrant made a circling motion with one finger of her free hand.

“Oh! Right! I didn’t know we were danci-“

“Yes, yes, dear. Could you..?” She made the circling motion again, raising the hand that held Twilight’s own.

Twilight did a twirl, just as she would have on a dance floor, sending her skirt into a rather revealing spin. She was halfway to complaining that Celestia, or Tyrant Sun, or whoever-the-hell was being a kind of a royal bitch right now when the latter caught her in a tight hug and lifted her, kissing her deep.

Twilight melted, as she always did.

“Very good, darling.” Tyrant ran a hand down her back and over her skirt and then a ways back up, giving the cheek underneath a teasing squeeze. “You always look so good in a short skirt. Come along.” She set her down without another word and strutted toward the throne she’d lounged upon before, drawing Twilight with her by one hand. The girl found herself caught at some junction between indignation and arousal, and wondered why the two seemed to meet up so easily.

Sun flowed down into the seat, pulling Twilight with her such that the younger woman ended up sitting in her lap.

Tyrant Sun looked Twilight up and down for bit, a slight, unknowable smile on her lips. The moment went on. Twilight opened her mouth to say…something. She didn’t know what. It didn’t matter.

“I like this,” said Tyrant, cutting her off, tracing her fingers down the slightly strained buttons of Twilight’s shirt. “And this is just…mmm.” Her fingers grazed Twilight’s belly and then further down, just over bits of cloth between her legs. The girl leaned back, ready and oh-so-willing for those fingers to do more. But rather than slip under the skirt, they moved further down, sliding over her thigh and knee and calf, stopping. “But these are a bit…”

Twilight looked down at the socks that led into her boots. Tyrant Sun waved a hand at them.

“Why don’t you just get those out of the way, darling?”

“Um.” Her shoes hadn’t been a problem last time. She’d just taken everything else off around them, no big deal.

“Well?” said Tyrant Sun, watching her, hands now firmly on the rests of her throne.

“Ok, what is this?” Twilight demanded. “You were supposed to tell me how to play this game or whatever, but you’re just…I don’t even know.”

“What this is, little girl,” stated Tyrant Sun, eyes aglow, “is an order. Take those off, immediately!”

“Fine! Jeez!”

Twilight hopped off Sun/Celestia’s lap and leaned over to untie her boots for no damned reason at all. She wished she knew what this was about, and why Sun was acting like that, and why it so hot the way her eyes had glowed right there.

“Ugh. Love, I do enjoy your spirit, and the show you’re giving me, but you could at least put some effort into it. Disrobing is an art. Take your time.”

Twilight glared back, further confused. She looked at her boot, half off her foot, then back at Tyrant Sun, who was resting her chin on one palm, grinning smugly.

“It’s all part of the game, sweetling.”

Ok. Wait. Twilight did a bit of mental math. Bent over like she was, with a skirt like she was wearing…ok, yeah, that would certainly provide a show. But what was the rest of that? About art and spirit and the weird mix of insults and affection? Was Sun expecting her to take off her boots in a sexy way, or something? Was that even possible? She knew Celestia had a bit of thing for feet, but…well, whatever. She’d give it a try.

Twilight straightened up, turned around, and leaned down to sit lightly on the floor. She spread her legs while making sure her skirt just barely covered her. She slipped off the boot, slowly, and slid her fingers into the sock under it, really taking her time getting it off her foot. She let it bunch up at her ankle, then daintily took hold of the toe and, ever so slowly, drew the whole thing off, inch by inch, feeling profoundly silly until she looked up and saw how Sun was looking at her.

Oh my, yes.

Twilight wiggled her toes, and saw Sun watch her do it. She leaned toward her other boot, playing a bit with the hem of her skirt on the way, showing, hopefully, just a glimpse of what was underneath. Tyrant Sun licked her lips.

Alright. I can get into this.

She unlaced the other boot, in no hurry this time.

“Oh, come now,” said Sun, waving a hand. “Off with it!”

Twilight frowned.

“You just told me to take my time!”

“You’ve taken plenty. And I believe what I said was to do what I tell you, so hurry up with it!”

Twilight was fairly certain she’d said no such thing. Am I supposed to argue, or do whatever arbitrary thing Sun says, or what? She was hypothetically learning what Celestia wanted done to her, right? And she wanted to be dominated, so…

Twilight went with ‘do whatever she says.’

“Of course, my lady.”

“Pah! Again with this ‘lady’ nonsense. What am I, some talentless noble harlot?”

“Uh, of course not. Princess, then?”

“Mm.” Tyrant Sun re-crossed her legs, intently watching as Twilight slowly uncovered her own.

“Will Your Majesty suffice?”

“Hmph.” Sun’s lips pouted a bit. She clearly wanted something specific. “And slow down. You have such lovely little toes.”

Twilight loosed the last of her laces, freeing her foot in as slow and sexy a way as she could think of. What would someone named Tyrant want to be called..?

“Mistress?”

Tyrant Sun’s eyes sparked anew.

“Yes! Mistress. Say it again!”

“Of course, Mistress.”

Ok, so she wants to be obeyed… Twilight used her naked foot to slide the other sock off, running one hand down her own chest at the same time. She wiggled her toes, balancing precariously on one hip as she rubbed her feet together and felt herself up a bit.

Tyrant squirmed a little, somehow making the motion both elegant and slightly intimidating.

“Enough with the shoes! Come here! This throne is terribly cold without you.”

"But you said to be slow, mistress. I wouldn’t want to disobey an order.”

“Oh, so we’re feeling obedient now?” But she didn’t say anything more, just watched, hungry with lust.

But she wants to be challenged, too?

Twilight tossed the sock onto the floor and drew her legs back in, taking no great care to hide what was under her skirt this time. She stood, running both hands down herself.

“Is there anything else you’d like me to take off, mistress?”

Sun gave her a grin, but it was a sharp one. She raised a hand and crooked one finger, drawing Twilight forward. Twilight went, placing herself back on her mistress’s lap. Tyrant Sun ran both hands up and down her girl, squeezing as she pleased. She kissed her, hard, pushing Twilight back with force of it.

“Somebody,” she said in that smoking voice, “needs a lesson in humility.”

“Wait, wh-“

She wrapped Twilight in an irresistible cloak of magic and flipped her over, laying her student across her knees. Tyrant Sun pulled up a few inches of skirt with one hand, revealing the thin, white panties beneath. A sharp *smack* reverberated through the room as she slapped Twilight’s ass.

“OW! What the-“

Sun stroked the cheek she’d just spanked, outside, and then in, slipping her fingers across Twilight’s inner thigh. She massaged Twilight’s back with the other hand.

“You think you can taunt your mistress without consequence?”

She spanked her again, softer this time, eliciting another cry of pseudo-outrage, then stroked between her legs, over her underwear. Her other hand was working its way down, playing at the buttons that barely held Twilight’s shirt together.

“Have you learned your lesson, little girl, or do I have to keep going?”

“I, uh...” Twilight was honestly caught between a yes and a no on that one. Tyrant Sun answered for her. Hard.

*Smack!*

“Agh! Fuck!”

Sun had her fingers inside Twilight’s panties now, just brushing her lips as she stroked the girl’s breasts through her shirt.

“Such language. It sounds like somebody hasn’t learned anything at all.”

Twilight wasn’t sure what to do. It hurt, sure. It was humiliating, sorta. But also…

Tyrant Sun spanked her again, but it was soft this time.

“I didn’t hear an answer, young lady. Should I stop?”

Oh, well. Nice of her to ask, I guess?

“Or do you need more?”

“Um. Yes?”

Wait. Why did I say yes? Does that mean she’ll stop, or-

*Smack!*

"Dammit!"

*Smack!*

“Such a hard-headed little girl.”

“I don’t, I, um!”

What am I supposed to be learning here!?

Sun spanked her again, much harder this time. She snuck her hand in, hot and hard, between Twilight’s legs, dipping into her with one finger while others stroked her clit between spankings. Her free hand squeezed Twilight’s shoulders or neck or pinched her breasts through her shirt.

“Oh, goddess, just fuck me!”

*Smack!*

“Fucking OW!” Twilight felt tears trying to come up, and wondered why that didn’t bother her.

*Smack!*

“Such language, Twilight! I’m starting to think you like this, using naughty words like that,” said Sun, fingering for much longer this time. She pulled out, and Twilight looked back to see her run her tongue over those deft fingers. Seeing herself watched, Sun blew a kiss with her wet hand and passed it to Twilight. The girl closed her eyes and sucked at the fingers greedily.

“That’s so fucking hot, Pr-OW!”

Sun popped the fingers from her mouth as soon as Twilight started talking and spanked her again, hard, playing at her clit with the other hand.

Ow! Ok, Ow! I mean, yesyesyes, but ow! Why can’t she just let me…

“Oh my fucking Goddess!”

*Smack!*

Am I being punished for something? Why won’t she just tell me what she wants!?

Twilight bit her lip, managing to keep herself from crying out this time as the burn faded. Nothing happened for a while, except that Sun rubbed at her pussy some more. Twilight backed up into it, or would have, if she’d any way to do that while bent over Tyrant Sun’s knees. Oh wait. She spanks me anytime I swear. Seems like I could have figured that out before now. Ok. But…

“Can you, um, do the other side?”

Tyrant Sun spanked her once more, but softer than before, just enough to sting a little. Twilight managed to keep silent.

“I might consider such a thing, should you remember how to address me properly.”

“Oh! Right. Can you do the other side, Mistress?”

Tyrant Sun smiled graciously…

And then spanked Twilight where it hurt.

“No.”

“What the fuck!?”

“That was for forgetting your manners. And this…”

Sun smacked her again, but on the other cheek this time.

“Is for that dirty little mouth of yours.” Her fingers found their way back between Twilight’s legs. “And for trying to tell me what to do.”

Twilight made a groan somewhere between frustration and pleasure.

Tyrant Sun stroked her further.

“There. That's a good girl. It seems like you’re learning, my naughty little student.”

“Mmph.” Twilight found herself a little too busy to use words right now.

“But you’re not quite there.”

*Smack!*

“Dammit! Wh-”

“I expect an answer when I speak to you, Twilight. A simple ‘yes, mistress’ will suffice, but do feel free to be creative.”

Tyrant didn’t stop fingering as she spoke, but Twilight managed to say,

“Y-ah! Mm. Yes, mistress!”

*smack!*

Twilight cried out in equal parts outrage and lust. I did what I was supposed to! What the hell!?

“And look at me when you talk. You have the most gorgeous eyes when you’re about to come.”

Twilight turned over one shoulder, not sure what she was feeling or what she was even supposed to be feeling anymore. She was certainly about to come though. She remembered to say something just as Tyrant was raising a hand.

“Fine, I'm looking! Mistress!”

“Very good.” Tyrant smiled and lowered the arm that had been about to spank her again. “But we’ve only just started, and here you are, rushing for the climax. And I don’t think I appreciate your tone, little girl. I’m not sure you’ve earned an orgasm yet.”

Her fingers stopped just outside Twilight’s pussy, just barely rubbing at her lips, maddeningly close.

Twilight had been willing to overlook pretty much everything that had happened so far while Sun had been fingering her. She’d been right there! Why would Celestia stop now!?

Denied that wonderful bit of distraction, Twilight was left with nothing to focus on but the pain and irritation and vague sense that she should be ashamed of all this. She blinked, honestly flummoxed as to how the hell she was supposed to respond to that.

“I, um…”

“Hrmm. Should I let you come so soon?”

“Yes!” barked Twilight.

"Pfeh.” Tyrant Sun dismissively waved a hand which, Twilight couldn’t help but notice, was neither fingering nor even spanking her. “You’re not even trying, you little slut. Convince me.”

What was left of Twilight’s arousal quite suddenly evaporated.

“Excuse me!?”

Sun’s eyes went a bit wide with surprise at Twilight’s sudden intensity. But she didn’t stop, and she didn’t apologize. Just plowed straight through the impasse, as if it had been her plan all along.

“Hah! I thought that might get your attention. Such a proud little girl.” She caressed Twilight’s clit, slow and calm. “But do try again. I know you can do better.”

“Don’t just brush me off!” snapped Twilight, squirming off Sun and onto her feet. “You can’t call me a…call me that! And what am I even supposed to say!? You spank me no matter what! I don’t know what you want me to do!”

Tyrant Sun leaned back and gave Twilight an appraising look.

“Ah,” she said.

“ ‘Ah,’ what!? What does that mean!?”

“It means, darling, that unless you’ve suddenly become an amazing actress and this little outburst is part of an elaborate ruse to get me excited, now would be a good time to use that word we agreed on.”

wilight’s face screwed up in confusion. “Ruse? How would this get you excited? And what word? Pumpernickel?”

Tyrant Sun nodded. She leaned back, closed her eyes, and a second later, Celestia sat in her place.

It was absolutely fascinating to watch the transformation. The shift of the hair was the most obvious sign, but there were so many other tiny changes Twilight hadn’t quite caught until now. Celestia held herself completely differently, in a hundred little ways. Her chin dropped a few degrees, her eyes softened, she let her shoulders come down to rest. Both personas radiated regal presence, but Celestia managed it without so much of Sun’s outrageous arrogance, exuding patient benevolence instead. She also looked really good in that outfit…

Twilight crossed her arms and aimed herself away from Celestia, trying to maintain her anger.

Celestia rose from her throne. Twilight tensed when she tried to reach out to her, so Celestia backed off. Instead, she stated her case, and let her student come to her own conclusion.

“I'm sorry I upset you, Twilight. I…suppose I owe you some explanation."

"Yeah, I'd say so.”

Celestia nodded.

“I am…not very good at talking about this kind of thing. Sex, that is. It makes me, I don’t know. Nervous? So, perhaps I let myself pretend this would be easy for you. You’ve always learned best when given plenty of room to work out your own answers, so maybe I supposed I’d just drop you into the middle of it and let you figure things out.” She shrugged. “I’ll correct my mistake now, if you’ll let me.”

Twilight kept herself turned away because it was friggin’ impossible to stay angry at Celestia when she got like this, with her huge eyes and great rack and honest, deep-seated sincerity.

Cheater.

“Ok,” she managed.

"I suppose the first thing that needs saying is that I know that this is strange for you, Twilight. To see me like this. To think of me, or yourself, or us in these ways. And that’s fine. It is a little strange. You grew up taught that everyone is equal and deserves respect and is worthy and righteous and so on, and all of that is true, but…well, we all have our kinks, right? Some of us like strange things. Maybe my tastes are further out of synch with the rest of the world than I remember, but I don’t think so.” She paused, considering her words. “So, one thing for you to understand about this is that you don’t have to think so much about what I want. In fact, you don’t have to think at all.”

Twilight turned to her, one eyebrow raised in irritable suspicion.

“Don’t be angry, please, just listen.”

Twilight gave her a slight nod.

“I set up all this,” she waved to room around her, the candles, the throne, the bed. The flower petals on the ground that Twilight hadn’t even noticed until now. “Myself. I put down every candle, ran off all my guards, rearranged my whole room. I, personally, built this whole scene. I made sure everything was perfect, and I did it so that when you got here, you would have nothing at all to worry about, nothing to distract you from the experience. I’m not telling you this to make you feel bad, but to explain something important: This isn’t my show. It yours. You’re the star tonight. I know that seems backwards, since I’m the one giving all the orders, but that’s the nice part of being the ‘victim.’ The ‘villain’ has to do all the work. You just get to show up and have fun. In the end, it’s really all about what you want, not me. Understand?”

“Okayyy,” she said, drawing it out, giving herself some time. “That’s great, but why all the insults? And the, um, spanking, and…”

“Did you not like that?”

“I didn’t like being called a slut!”

Celestia nodded. She didn’t apologize, didn’t try to justify anything. Just acknowledged. “And now I know not to do that. It will never happen again. But the rest?”

“Oh, well. I mean, um…”

Celestia smiled.

“There you go again, overthinking things. It’s ok to be turned on by weird stuff, Twilight. Or not to be. Stop worrying about what you think you should think, baby, and just let yourself feel. You like to dance, yes?”

Twilight gave another cautious nod.

“Do you think about what you’re doing, while you dance?”

Her moves on the dance floor had once been described by Rarity as ‘a sort of vaguely organized flailing.’ Twilight hadn’t been sure whether or not that was an insult, but it was true enough. Dance was one of the few things that she could just do, one of the only times her brain would just shut up for a little while so she could…

Oh. Hm.

Apparently Celestia saw the revelation on her face, because she nodded, and stepped forward, wrapping herself around Twilight. “This isn’t a test, baby. There are no grades here, no judgements at all. Saying the safe word isn’t a failure, it just means we’ve found a boundary. And boundaries aren’t weaknesses. We’re just trying things. Sometimes they won’t work out, and that’s fine. But when things do work…”

Celestia gave her a smile that promised untold pleasures.

“Just try it for a bit. Let go. Let yourself have this. There is great freedom in surrender.”

Twilight smiled in spite of herself, in spite of how little sense that made. She buried her face in Celestia’s chest for a while.

“And as to me ordering you around and insulting you, that’s really meant more as a reward than a punishment. I thought you might like it. I certainly do. But you don’t have to take any of it personally. You can if it gets you off, but this is all just pretend. And just because I give you an order doesn’t mean you have to follow it. I can’t force anything on you unless you let me, remember? You have that magic word, so you can tell me to stop at any time, and no matter what, I will. So really, you’re the one in control here.”

Twilight looked up.

“Oh.”

Something clicked.

“Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Ok! I thought I was screwing everything up, and I got confused by all this…” she waved a hand, “Stuff. And so, well, anyway.”

Celestia smiled.

“Ok,” Twilight mumbled into that glorious cleavage. “But, one question?”

“Mm?”

Hands had already begun to wander. They made up quick, these two.

“So, you and Tyrant Sun. Should I talk like you’re different people, or-”

“Yes.”

The answer came faster and more definitively than Twilight had expected. She’d figured there was some explanation coming, but nothing followed.

“Alright then. So, is she coming back, or..?”

“Well,” Celestia said, pulling back some. “We can stop now if you want. We can pick this up later, after we’ve had some time to think about what we want. Or we can drop the whole thing, and never speak of it again. Unless…you’d like her to come back now?” There was a clear note of hope in her voice.

Hardly fair of her to ask that, Twilight thought, with her hand halfway up my skirt. But... She nodded with an enthusiasm that surprised even her.

Celestia had apparently been ready. Her hair fell back into that crimson cascade without a moment’s delay as Tyrant Sun swelled back into the world in her full, smoldering glory. She bared her teeth to Twilight in a knife-edged grin.

“I’ve missed you, baby,” she purred, drawing closer.

The girl giggled in happy anticipation.

“Can I ask you something, real quick?”

Tyrant Sun raised an eyebrow indulgently.

“Should I try to fight you, or whatever? It seems like you really like that. Your eyes kind of glow when you get turned on and it’s really hot.”

Sun laughed.

“You should do whatever you like, darling. If you’re feeling naughty and want to disobey, by all means, go ahead. That just means I get to play harder.” Her grin took a dangerous turn as she squeezed Twilight tight. Almost too tight. But not quite. “But this is your night. If you’d rather give in and do whatever I say without complaint…” she released, letting her hands roam free. “That’s just fine as well. Shall we?”

“One more question?”

“Mhmmmm.”

Sun was clearly growing impatient.

“About the whole ‘no being yes’ thing you mentioned this morning?”

“Ugh. Don’t put it that way, dear. I loathe that phrase. ‘No’ can mean a lot of things in this situation. And that was Celestia, not myself.”

“Right. Got it. But if I say I don’t want to keep going, does that mean...?”

Tyrant Sun looked down at her, lips quirking into a smirk.

Twilight fell into a mock swoon.

“Because I’m just not sure how much more I can take!”

Sun laughed, snapping Twilight up in her irresistible grip.

“Oh, little girl, you have no idea what you’re in for.”

On the Importance of Learning to Let Go and Have Fun

“I-ah! Goddess, that’s good. Please do it again, Mistress?”

“Say it with feeling, poppet!” Sun spanked her with one hand while the other found a rhythm between her legs. “And please do what?”

Twilight gasped.

“Please make me come, Mistress!”

They had picked up pretty much exactly where they’d left off, with Twilight bent over Tyrant’s knee. The girl had taken Celestia’s advice, disregarding her inner critic in favor of just enjoying/suffering though the moments as they came.

Why are they the same thing? That’s so weird!

Well, disregarding her inner critic as much as she could, anyway.

Sun wrapped a hand around Twilight’s hair, pulling it back into a ponytail. Then she pulled more, drawing the girl’s head up as she spanked her again.

“Keep talking, angel. I love it when you beg.”

“Please! Please fuck me! I need it, Mistress! Don’t stop! Please don’t stop I’m so close I-I’m-Fuck!”

*Smack*

“One more time?”

*Smack!*

Dammit! That one hurt! She was tearing up again, and somehow that was fine.

So weird!

Twilight wasn’t sure how Sun could pull her hair (which actually didn’t hurt at all, and kind of turned her on even more) and spank her and finger her all at once, but she wasn’t complaining. She was kind of losing her mind to it.

“I’m gonna, I’m-fucking-goddess-dammit, please more, Princess!”

Though, to be fair, Twilight lost her mind during sex on a pretty regular basis.

Tyrant Sun pressed in hard, rubbing at her clit and fingering her cunt as Twilight babbled happy, ecstasy-drenched nonsense. Sun pulled on her hair, dragging Twilight up by her head and turning her so that she was now sitting in Sun’s lap again. Tyrant reached under her panties with both hands to stroke her.

Magic. It must be magic that she’s pulling my hair with. Ok, shut up, ‘cause I…Oh g-Oh fuck!

Twilight felt Tyrant’s tongue on her neck, at her ear, inside it, heard her lover’s breath as she nibbled on the lobe of it. She felt Sun behind her, felt the heat of her, felt her those unfeasibly huge breasts pushing against her back.

“It’s Mistress, little girl,” whispered Sun in that smoldering voice. “Get it right!”

“Yes, Mistress!”

Tyrant Sun bit at her ear, just hard enough, then at her neck, sharp teeth pricking at Twilight’s skin. She pulled one hand free of Twilight’s pussy and locked it around the girl’s chest, pulling her in tight.

“And stop squirming! This is what you wanted, isn’t it?”

Twilight decided she was feeling disobedient. She laughed, and squirmed harder, apologizing all the while. One hand tried to find its way between Sun’s legs while the other just wandered without direction.

“I’m sorry, mistress! You’re just so-“

Tyrant Sun pinched her clit. Hard.

“Fuck!” Twilight nearly dropped the safe word on that one. She also nearly came.

So. Weird.

“Did you think I couldn’t find a way to punish you, poppet? There’s so much more than just spanking…”

Tyrant Sun caught Twilight’s questing hand in her own and pulled it behind the girl’s back. She locked the other one in a grip of tingling orange magic and drew it back to join the first. She did all of this while still fingering Twilight.

“W-what are you going to, mmf, goddess! Do?”

The fear in her voice was feigned. Mostly.

Sun wrapped another ring of force around Twilight’s wrist and then linked the two together. Twilight struggled a bit, but her mistress hadn’t left much chain to work with.

Sun said nothing, pulling Twilight in close with her now free arm, holding her tight, digging her fingers just hard enough into Twilight’s tit. Sun’s breath was husky and sweet in her ear. Her mistress wrapped both high-heeled boots over Twilight’s thighs and spread them, using that irresistible strength to draw them as far apart as they’d go. She played at the lips of Twilight’s pussy with one hand.

“So you want to come, do you?”

“Yes, Mistress! Please?”

“Well then.”

Tyrant Sun dove in. She pinched Twilight’s clit, softly this time, rubbing tight little circles around it, letting the girl’s own slickness guide her. She pushed fingers deep inside her pussy at the same time, exploring every nook of it, earning gasps and cries and eventually screams as she finally found just the right spot. She kept sucking at Twilight’s ear, nibbling her neck, pinching her nipples, holding her in that powerful, inescapable grip.

Twilight let herself fall apart in it. She tried desperately to return some of the pleasure she was feeling, she squirmed and fought and did everything she could (except say the word) but Tyrant would barely let her move. Her hands, bound tight, were pressed up against the muscle of Tyrant’s belly. She could feel the heat of her lover, burning, Consuming, but with no pain. She could feel those pert nipples pressing up against her back. How she longed to play with those…

Twilight didn’t remember any of what she said while she came…

“Oh my-I-Oh goddess-Please-I want you so bad-just-fuck-me-forever! Goddess I love you so-Fuh! Fuck-my-face-if-you-want-please-do-anything-to-me-Auugh!”

And that was probably for the best.

When the orgasm passed and she started thinking again, Twilight was surprised to feel Sun hadn’t stopped. That was nice and all, but she could use a second, so… She tried to reach down and push Tyrant’s hand away, only to find that both of her own were still bound behind her. She pulled at the bonds, but they were unyielding.

“I, uh, wow. I jus-fhffu, um. M-mistress?”

“Mhm?”

“Can you, eh, I-eufh-”

She tried to shimmy her hips away, tried to close her legs, but Sun only pulled her closer, and spread them wider.

“Something you want to say, baby?”

She could hear the wicked grin in Tyrant Sun’s voice.

“I, I just, I, Oh goddess…”

Twilight was one of those blessed few for whom orgasm came easier the more times in a row it happened. As such, she was already very nearly there again.

“This is what you wanted, isn’t it? You asked me to let you come…”

“I know, Mis-ummn! I, yes, but!”

Twilight fidgeted this way and that to no effect, and it occurred to her that Sun really wasn’t going to let her go.

“Ok! I did, b-buh, fuck!

Tyrant Sun bit at her neck, hard, squeezed her, kissed and licked her way to Twilight’s ear. Twilight loved it, but it was getting a bit intense, even for her. Almost painful…

“Oh, dear me. Does my little girl want me to stop?”

Did asking her to stop mean she actually wanted her to stop, or…b-because Twilight wasn’t sure she did. But she wasn’t sure she could take much more either. She’d joked about it before, but that was then, and-

“I-um-p-please, Mistress!?”

“Please what?”

She worked her hand faster, harder. Twilight’s heels banged against the legs of the throne, trying to find purchase on the ground.

“It’s too much!”

“What is?”

“I c-can’t, Goddess! I can’t take any m-mmmAuugh!”

Tyrant Sun whispered in her ear.

“Tell me you want me to stop.”

“Please stop fucking me, Mistress!”

“Again!”

Twilight tried, but the words got lost in another fit of agonizing ecstasy and it took a few more seconds for her to remember how to speak.

“O-ok. That’s really-” She licked her lips, tasted salty sweat on them. “Really good, Mistress. But please s-stop now?”

“No,” stated Tyrant Sun. “In fact…” She lifted Twilight in a field of magic and dropped her where Tyrant had once sat herself. Except, where Tyrant sun had graced the throne with imperious poise, Twilight now had her head shoved up against its back, her own back laying across the seat, legs dangling in the air. Sun popped apart the chain binding Twilight’s hands and pulled both manacles up above her head. She linked them again and hooked the chain on some kind of little prong that projected from the top of the throne.

Huh. So that’s what those are for.

Sun shoved her way between Twilight’s knees. Twilight put up a token resistance, but she wasn’t really trying very hard. Despite her request from mere seconds before, she giggled happily and tilted her hips up hopefully.

Tyrant Sun ran her fingers from Twilight’s hands to her chest to all the way down her hips. Her gaze absolutely devoured the girl. She licked her lips.

“What a lovely little thing you are. I could just eat you. All. Up.”

A little thrill of pseudo-fear ran through Twilight.

“Please don’t?” she tried.

Tyrant Sun grinned that sharp-edged grin.

“I think I will.”

She descended onto Twilight, shoving their mouths together, kissing her with breath-stealing ferocity. She licked her way down to Twilight’s neck, playing at her chin, nipping at her ear, breathing hot and lustful into her. She bit her, much harder than before, digging into the soft skin of Twilight’s neck.

Twilight gasped, more in surprise than pain. It didn’t really hurt, it wasn’t really that hard, but still. That was gonna leave a mark.

Sun kept going. She lapped at Twilight’s collar, just under her shirt, licked her way down to Twilight’s chest, roughly popping button after button to expose what lay beneath. Her hands pressed into Twilight’s hips as she took one nipple into her mouth, running her teeth over it. She bit down, just a little.

Twilight cried out, maybe a bit louder than she’d meant too, and Sun let go. She moved to the other breast, biting at it softly, just hard enough.

The Sun Queen dragged her teeth down Twilight’s belly, stopping to give it a good nip when Twilight tried to pull away. She kept going, fingers digging into her ‘little girl’s’ ass, leaving a reminder that she’d been there, letting the ensuing gasps of pleasure or pain or whatever else guide her. She stopped and pulled back just above Twilight’s hips. She grinned at her girl’s expression. Intense desire, with a bit of confusion.

“M-mistress?”

Tyrant flipped Twilight’s skirt out of the way, taking a good, long look at the cloth under it.

“What a mess you’ve made, Twilight! These are absolutely soaked.” She reached up Twilight’s thighs and played at the wet cotton there, running her fingers down it, then raising them to her lips. She ran her tongue over them as Twilight watched, enraptured. “I should make you wear them for the rest of the week, just to learn your lesson.”

Twilight froze up a bit. Yeah, I’ll definitely be disobeying that one.

“But I’m feeling gracious, so…”

She took hold of Twilight’s underthings with both hands and ripped them off her.

Twilight gasped in actual surprise.

“Now, bring that pretty little cunt here!” Sun jerked Twilight’s hips up and toward her, not so much going down on Twilight as dragging her up and assailing the girl’s pussy. She attacked her ravenously, tongue diving deep, driving into those magical little places her fingers had found before.

Twilight didn’t have time to be surprised further. She was already lost. She tried to reach out and run her fingers through Tyrant Sun’s hair, but the shackles caught her. She groaned in pleasure/frustration, writhing. Sun held her tight, not letting her go anywhere but where she put her, fucking her with lips and tongue and, just a little, with her teeth.

“Look at me when I fuck you, girl!”

Twilight did. She had to look past her own chest and hips and skirt, but she did. She gazed into those blazing eyes like there was nothing else in the world worth looking at.

A hand gripped Twilight’s ass, squeezing, clawing, possessing. Another fondled her breasts, pinching and rubbing and doing whatever was the exact right thing to do as Tyrant Sun ravished her clit and Twilight was just gone for a long while as yet another orgasm had its way with her. She felt herself be lifted up from the seat of throne and placed back in Tyrant Sun’s lap, held close. Not tight this time, there was none of the intensity from before. This grip was very soft. Kind and warm and intimate. Sun held her that way for a long time, fondling and snogging and just generally cuddling her until Twilight finally got around to saying something.

Twilight looked down at herself. She was still almost fully dressed, somehow. Well, as dressed as she could be in her schoolgirl outfit. The shirt was mostly unbuttoned, and her panties were just…gone. And sure, she was covered in sweat and a rapidly fading glow of unintentionally spent magic and probably some other fluids, but still. Technically speaking, she could have walked through town without being arrested. Weird. Usually, she was naked within seconds.

“Ok,” Twilight managed after a while. “You were right. That was pretty great.”

She tried to stretch, to reach up and around her lover’s neck to embrace her, but alas, the cuffs still held her. They’d been locked behind her back again. She worked her wrists, slightly peeved at being so constrained.

Tyrant Sun grinned the smug little grin that everyone in the whole damn world got when they knew they’d made you come. She wiped a bit of luminous fluid off her lips and flicked it away, clearly proud of having made Twilight squirt magic everywhere.

“Was? Surely you’re not done already?”

Perhaps as consequence of being able to orgasm so easily, Twilight also tended to pass out immediately afterward. She had a joke about she should have born a boy, the way she got tired so quick.

“I suppose we could end the night here,” mused Tyrant, toying with a bit of Twilight’s skirt. “If that’s as much as you can handle. But there’s still so much more you could learn.”

Twilight stifled a yawn and pretended she wasn’t as sleepy as she was, letting Sun's chiding tone goad her.

“I can keep going! I can do this all night!"

“Perfect! Do you need a moment?”

“Nope. Teach me more!”

Sun gave her a look.

“Mistress!”

Sun relaxed.

“Very good, baby. Can I get you anything? Something to drink?”

“Um. Sure. Some water would be good.”

“Just water? There’s wine, if you want.”

“Water’s fine.”

In addition to suffering from sex-induced comas, Twilight found that nearly any amount of alcohol left her dry as a desert. It was tragic, really.

Tyrant Sun called a pitcher in from across the room and decanted it into a small glass without even looking. She raised the cup to Twilight’s lips.

Not knowing quite what else to do, Twilight drank what she was given. Sun watched her.

“More?”

“Yes, please. Um, mistress.”

Sun poured another half-glass, and served it to Twilight. A bit spilled past her lips and onto her chest. Twilight figured that was probably intentional.

“Such a messy girl.”

Yup. Well, maybe she could work with that.

“Oh, I’m very sorry, Mistress. But, maybe this would be easier if I had my hands back?” She fiddled with the bonds at her wrists. Twilight batted her eyes up in the most arousing way she knew.

“Hm? Oh, no. I don’t see why you would need those.”

“I…see. Mistress.”

Sun traced the path of the spilled drops with a finger.

“You said some things back there that I liked, baby.”

“Oh?”

“You begged for things. You were being very honest, I think. Holding nothing back. Finally letting all that silly pride fall away. Did you enjoy that? Did it feel good, serving me?”

“I, um, yes? Mistress.”

Twilight blushed a bit. Ok, a lot. Because it had felt good, even though she thought maybe it shouldn’t have. She hadn’t liked all of it, but she had to admit, this game had its charms.

“You needn’t be ashamed, angel. And you may call me by my name, if you wish. You’ve earned that.”

“Oh. Well then, yes, Tyrant Sun. It was very…It wasn’t what I expected. Not better than what we usually do, I think, just different. But still, it was great.”

“Of course it was.” Sun ran a hand down Twilight, stopping at her skirt. Her free hand beckoned, and a plate full of fruit and sweets rose in a veil of orange magic and came to her. “Hungry?”

“Oh, no, I ate before I…”

Tyrant Sun drew a cherry from the plate and raised it to her lips. She licked it, beads of moisture threatening to drip off the fruit. She plucked it neatly from the stem, squeezing the cherry lightly between her teeth before closing her lips around it.

A bit of juice escaped Sun’s lips as Twilight stared. She chewed and swallowed the fruit and licked up what had escaped.

“Not even a little?”

“I am absolutely famished, Mistress.”

“Wonderful!”

Sun lifted Twilight from her lap like it was nothing and placed her on the big, furry rug next to the bed. She put one hand on Twilight’s shoulder, pushing her firmly and inexorably down. The younger woman dropped to her knees.

“Very good, darling! Such a fast learner. I suppose I should warn you, though. I have something more substantial than mere fruit in mind for you.”

“I wait with bated breath, your majesty.”

Tyrant Sun paused, looking at her intently.

“Is that a bit of sass I hear, poppet? Are you trying to tease me?”

“Oh, I would never, mistress.” She couldn’t quite keep the smile out of her eyes.

Sun paced with a measured strut before her, arms crossed under her chest, one finger on her chin as she considered Twilight with a disconcertingly predatory grin.

“I’m not sure I believe you. Clearly, you’ll have to be punished.”

With the very same finger, Tyrant Sun reached for the chains that strained to hold her breasts in place, popping them loose with a single motion. She slid what fabric remained aside, setting that glorious pair free. She ran her hands over them, giving herself a good, hard squeeze.

Twilight stared up in awed, almost worshipful desire.

“You do so love these two don’t you? I bet you’re just dying to touch them. Run your sweet little tongue all over them?” She leaned in, jiggling her chest just in front of Twilight.

Twilight would have leapt onto them if she could. She tried, but Sun shut her down with that irresistible magic. Her mistress backed away, laughing.

“There you go again, trying to jump ahead. No dessert until you’ve had your dinner, young lady.”

Twilight grumbled with frustrated lust as Tyrant Sun turned away and strode back to her throne. She ensconced herself there once again. Seated now, she gazed into Twilight.

“Goddess, but you look good on your knees,” she said. “Come to me.”

Twilight was happy to oblige. She had heard about ‘being made love to with a look’ before, but she hadn’t known what it meant until now. Sun’s eyes were absolutely ravenous, so intense they were honestly a little frightening. And Twilight was loving it.

She hopped eagerly to her feet and-

“Ah ah!” Sun waved a finger at her. “Not like that. As you were.”

Twilight blinked.

“You want me to…”

Tyrant Sun eyed her expectantly, eyes aglow. She waved away the spell holding Twilight’s wrists behind her, which was nice, but then Twilight felt a slight, magical pressure on her shoulders, pushing her down.

“I, uh. Hm.”

Twilight dropped back to her knees. She was not at all sure how she felt about this one. She glanced up at Sun. Dammit it was hot when she looked at her like that, but this was just so…

Well. It’s all about trying new things, right? And if I’m going to do this…

Twilight dropped forward onto her hands and endeavored to look as adorably pathetic as possible. Feeling profoundly conflicted, she crawled her first step forward.

I’m going to do it right!

“Like this, Mistress?”

“Oh, yes. That’s very good, baby. Very good indeed.”

Twilight watched Sun shift in her seat as she inched her way forward, desire obvious in her every motion, and decided that maybe this wasn’t so embarrassing after all. She crawled on hands and knees to her Mistress, bit by bit, stopping just out of reach.

“Should I come closer, Mistress?”

Tyrant Sun parted her legs and drew Twilight forward with a finger.

“Are you ready for your dinner, my little minx?” A devilish grin graced her lips.

Twilight had no way to know if she was, or where this was even going, but she nodded just to keep things moving.

Sun snapped her fingers and they crackled with power. There a bright flash, and then…

Twilight looked up to find, hanging before her, a truly magnificent specimen of a cock. Not a real one, obviously. It was just a magic trick. But still, it was impressive. She stared at its majesty, watched it smolder with the light of Sun’s power.

“You’re rather fond of this spell, as I recall?”

“I sure am!” Twilight exclaimed, a very big smile gracing her lips. “Mistress,” she corrected, on seeing Sun’s glare. Who wasn’t fond of that one? It was pretty much the first spell any lady unicorn learned on becoming sexually active. Well, after the birth control stuff. They practically taught it in school. It was just a specially shaped shield spell, after all, with a few extra enchantments worked in to give it feeling. You didn’t have to do that last part, but who didn’t want to try doing it the way boys did, at least once?

“I suppose I should have expected as much. You certainly do love your magic. It isn’t too much for you?”

“Not at all, Mistress Sun. It’s perfect!” It was, in point of fact, probably too much. But Twilight was something of an aficionado of such things. Maybe it was because she was so petite herself, but Twilight Sparkle was an ardent advocate of the ‘more is more’ school of thought when it came to dicks. And tits. And pretty much everything else.

“Ahh, my wonderful little size queen. I trust you know what to do with it then?”

“Oh certainly, Mistress.” Usually, girls summoned these in rock-hard and ready to go, but Twilight was fine with a flaccid one. There was a certain satisfaction in making a dick get hard for you. “Just give me a second to stroke that up for you, and-”

Twilight reached forward to do just that, and felt a light slap as Tyrant Sun *thwapped* her hand away.

“I don’t recall saying you could use your hands,” snapped Sun with that wicked grin. She re-cast the rings of magic around Twilight’s wrists and chained them close together, locking them in front of her this time.

Ah. So that was how it was. Alright then.

“Of course, your majesty. But, if I can’t use my hands, what should I do?”

Tyrant Sun snorted, but she never took her eyes off Twilight. They positively glowed with want.

“Really? Must I tell you every little thing?”

Twilight tried not to smile.

“I wouldn’t want to make any false assumptions, mistress.” She walked her fingers forward and snuck one onto the toe of one of Tyrant Sun’s boots, just to see what she could get away with.

She had to admit, Celestia had been right. There was a strange sort of freedom in this, once you got your head around it. Even in this goofy little interaction, there was a lot more give and take than Twilight had expected. It was obvious what Sun wanted, but it was fun to make her wait for it, to make her give the order. She knew Tyrant liked it too, because that toy of hers was growing by the second, and Twilight hadn’t even touched it yet.

“Hah! Don’t play dumb, girl, it looks ridiculous on you. Now, come here and let’s put those lips to better use.”

Sun placed the fingers of one hand on Twilight’s chin, sinking the other into her hair, around her head. She pulled her gently but inexorably, forward.

Twilight giggled.

“Oh. And take this.” Sun snapped up an apple off the fruit tray and pressed it impatiently into Twilight’s hands. “Hold onto it. Just throw it or something if you me to stop.”

Twilight felt a little twinge of worry about that. What was she going to do that Twilight might want to stop? Certainly not this.

Sun pulled her down.

Twilight lightly kissed the head of Tyrant Sun’s toy, felt it throb in her lips. Was it still getting bigger? Goddess, was it ever going to stop? She took the first inch between her lips and ran her tongue all over it. She gazed up at Sun as she took the whole head into her mouth, sliding it in and out.

“Is this good, Mistress?”

“Very. But enough with the talking.”

She pulled Twilight down onto it further.

Twilight couldn’t give much of a reply, but Sun had said she expected to be answered when she spoke right? Twilight made a little “Mph!” as she took more of her Mistress. She bobbed up and down on it, getting the whole shaft good and slick as she went. She looked up to see how Sun was taking that.

“Do you like this, Twilight? Does it feel good to serve your Mistress?”

“Mhm!” hummed Twilight with honest enthusiasm. She was kind of glad her underwear had been torn off. It’d just be getting wet again.

Tyrant leaned back, a subtle smile on her face. She licked her lips as Twilight ran her tongue up the shaft of her. She closed her eyes and let her head tilt back, sighing in pleasure.

Twilight frowned slightly. Inasmuch as she could with a cock in her mouth. That wasn’t going to do at all. She gave Sun a little time to figure it out, taking more of her with every slow stroke. She got some nice little gasps out of her mistress, and that was great, but it wasn’t enough. Not even close. This was supposed to be Twilight’s show, dammit, and she wanted Sun to see this!

She bit her, just a little.

“Ah!” Sun jerked forward, eyes blazing. “Dammit woman, be careful! What are you doing!?”

That little cry had sounded more like one of pleasure than anger, Twilight thought. She pulled herself away with a little *pop.*

“I’m sorry, Mistress! But you’ve been so quiet, I wasn’t sure what you wanted.” She spoke around Tyrant’s cock, licking at it as she went, batting her eyes. “I won’t do it again.”

“Hmph! I thought you could be trusted to this, but obviously you need a firmer hand!” Sun grabbed Twilight much as she had before, but this time pulled her roughly into place. “Now suck this dick, and keep your teeth to yourself!” Without further warning, Sun thrust herself into Twilight’s mouth.

Twilight nearly gagged on it. She pulled back, turned away, spit it out.

“Not so fast, mistress, please!”

“Oh, come now! I wasn’t even half in.”

Twilight honestly wasn’t sure if she wanted it slower or faster, but Sun let her have it.

"I’m sorry, mistress, you just surprised me. And you’re so big!” Funny, how easy the whole ‘mistress’ thing was already. “I’ll do better this time.”

“Hmph. We’ll see.”

Sun pulled Twilight down again, and this time she didn’t let go.

She put Twilight exactly where she wanted her second by second, drawing her down with long, slow strokes, a little deeper every time. She would push Twilight up and stop at the head sometimes, ordering her to “Suck on it, girl. And use your tongue more!” Sometimes she would stop further down, far enough for Twilight to feel it at the back of her throat. Sun made this little motion with her hips when she did that, like she wanted more, and was just barely holding herself back. She made little gasps at those times, and any discomfort Twilight might have felt at taking her so deep was more than made up for by those. Sun never once looked away. Her eyes seethed.

Sun finally pushed her away after a few minutes of this.

Twilight licked her lips and wiped her mouth.

“Was that better, Mistress?”

Sun purred. “Yes. That was lovely, baby. But enough foreplay!”

Sun’s grip suddenly tightened as she stood. She pulled Twilight with her, shoved the girl up against the throne and thrust herself into Twilight’s mouth far further than before. Twilight almost choked again, a little *glk!* sound escaping as her eyes went wide and she pulled away. She reached up to push back Sun’s hips, but Tyrant pulled away before she had too. Twilight was just sucking in air to say something when Sun pulled Twilight to her and shoved in again. She was a little more ready for it this time, but it was still a struggle not to gag. She tried to pull away, but Sun wasn’t having it.

“Don’t fight me! You won’t win. Just take it like the little over-achiever you are. I want to see you swallow this cock, student! I know you can do it!”

That really only made her want to fight it more, but for reasons she didn’t understand (maybe because Tyrant had called her the ‘S’ word. Goddess, Twilight loved that more than she should! She was a little concerned she might have a complex about it…anyway!), she chose to play along, instead. She did know how to deep-throat, as it happened. She’d taught herself, thinking she was doing it just to be a good partner, and it had served her pretty well. All the boys she’d been with loved it, and the more adventurous girl-unicorns too. But now, she realized, she might have done that for other reasons. The look in Sun’s eyes was just… And Twilight was really enjoying this. She wanted it, even if it kind of hurt, even if it was too much and in another second she going to throw that apple to the ground. If her pussy hadn’t already been rubbed raw already she’d be fingering away right now.

Actually, you know what…

“That’s better. Just give me what I *ah!* what I want. Do you like this, baby? Do like it wh- *uhn* when I fuck you?”

Her voice was getting that deep, husky quality it only got when she about to come. It was basically the best sound in the world, by Twilight’s reckoning, and she was already just about there herself, so…

Sun pushed in deep and hard. Twilight hammered away at her own clit as Sun pulled her in, thrusting all the way down her throat, again and again. She was loving this, but she wasn’t sure she take much more. She didn’t want to tell Sun to stop, but she couldn’t breathe and it was really starting to hurt but those eyes and-

“Oh, fuck yes!” cried Sun, pulling out.

Twilight coughed and fell forward, holding tight to the apple, still playing at her pussy. Magic sparked off her as she gasped for air.

“Get up! This was your idea, baby! Come on! I know you’ve got more! Don’t you hold out on me now!” She pulled Twilight up by her hair.

“Ok, I *cough* I do, but-a”

Sun shoved herself back in, and it was fucking great. At first. Sun kept pushing deeper and deeper in, watching it happen. Twilight felt her lips hit the mound of her lover’s pussy, hidden as it was behind her outfit. She tried to keep going. She wanted to! She wanted to lick that clit and suck those lips! She looked up and saw the burning, unfettered lust in Tyrant Sun’s eyes, and Goddess, Twilight would do almost anything to see more of that, but it was just too much! It hurt! And she couldn’t breathe! Celestia had said it wasn’t a failure, using the safe word, so…

Twilight threw the now-bruised apple. She tossed it straight up, somewhere she knew Sun would see it, and…

Sun pulled out immediately. Twilight collapsed to all fours, gasping for air.

“Are you ok, baby? Was that too much?”

Twilight shook her head.

“No! *cough* I mean, y-*ahem* yes, but it was really good! I didn’t want to! I just-”

“It’s ok, sweetie, you don’t have to apologize.”

It wasn’t Sun who held her now, but Celestia. Twilight took the few moments she needed to catch her breath. She couldn’t help but notice, in one of those surreal moments that occasionally befall people with interesting sex lives, that Celestia still had her magic toy going. It was glimmering gold now, rather than smoldering orange, but just as huge and hard and coursing with magic as it had been before.

She wanted it.

“I’m ok! Let’s keep going!”

Celestia watched her with concern.

“Are you sure? We don’t have to.”

“No, please! I want to! I really, really want to!”

Celestia smiled. Then, just like that, she was Tyrant Sun again. She snapped up Twilight’s hand in her own and gave it a lick.

“Oh, you naughty little thing! Have you been playing with yourself this whole time!?”

Her words were intense, but she didn’t sound upset. Proud, almost. Twilight didn’t have time to answer.

"Well, since you can’t control yourself, I’ll clearly just have to do it for you!”

“Oh, no, mistress! I…”

Twilight hadn’t even been sure what she was going to say, but Sun pulled her onto her feet by the hair and, with a bit of help from her magic, tossed her onto the bed. Before she knew it, Twilight found her arms once again bound over her head, the chain between them hooked onto something she couldn’t see and didn’t even really care about. She gazed up in lust and awe and a happy bit of fear as Tyrant Sun towered over her.

“I’m sorry, mistress!” she cried, though she wasn’t.

“Quiet!”

Twilight couldn’t even try to pretend at this point. She opened her legs without resistance, ready to take anything her Mistress deigned to give her. Sun straddled one of thigh, wrapping an arm around the other leg as she slid her toy into Twilight.

“So wet,” she said. “So eager! No wonder you can’t stop touching yourself, you little…” Sun growled something between a purr and a growl. Frustrated.

Slut. That’s what she’d wanted to say. But she hadn’t. Because Twilight had told her she couldn’t. Even as she gasped with each long, slow stroke, Twilight enjoyed that. She was starting to get the limits of being the top, as seen from the bottom.

But she was suffering her own frustrations, too. Sun ran her hands up and down Twilight’s body as she pleased, fucking her at a pace the younger woman couldn’t control. Twilight ached to do it back, but the cuffs held her tight. She tried to use her hips, but Sun just jerked them to exactly where she wanted them every time.

“Oh, yes! Fight me, baby! I love it when you struggle.”

She was getting that husky voice again. Twilight smiled. Wouldn’t be long now…

Sun whipped off her sash and, in one smooth motion, wrapped it around Twilight’s throat. Tyrant looked down at her with a positively incendiary grin. She gave the slightest tug on one end, and Twilight felt it squeeze. She froze up. She was loving everything right now, but Twilight honestly didn’t think she could handle the stuff she thought Tyrant might be thinking of, and she didn’t know how to say it without using the word. She looked her mistress in the eye and very earnestly shook her head ‘no.’

To her surprise (and maybe a bit of disappointment. So weird!), Tyrant Sun let go of the sash, letting the silky material fall on Twilight’s chest. She gripped Twilight’s shoulder with one hand and her hips with the other, fingers digging in, shoving herself in deep as she was long with ever shorter, sharper, harder thrusts. Twilight heard herself talking, but she didn’t know what she was saying and that was just fine.

“Shut up and take it, dammit!” ordered Sun. “Make me come, baby! I want you! Tell me where you want it! Do it right now!”

Twilight had lost track of how many times she’d come tonight. All she really wanted at this point was to squeeze those tits and ride this out. What would Sun do, if she broke the cuffs? What would she say, if so flagrantly disobeyed? Twilight didn’t know, but she for damn sure wanted to see, so…

She snapped the spell holding her hands in place and latched them onto Sun’s exposed breasts as her mistress rammed her, squeezing them with everything she had.

"Oh!” cried Sun. “How dare you!”

Twilight felt herself lifted up and flipped over. She didn’t fight it as Sun shoved her up against the headboard and dragged her ass into the air. She reveled in it when Sun slapped her there shoved that cock into her pussy again.

“You naughty, wicked, dirty little girl!” Sun sounded absolutely delighted.

“Please do it inside me,” Twilight whispered.

Twilight felt a hand wrap around her hair and pull.

“You would give me orders!? Me!? Tyrant Sun!? Who owns this pussy!?”

“What?”

A hard crack sounded as Sun spanked her harder than ever. Her thrusts slowed.

“Answer the question!”

“Y-you do!”

Another sharp slap. Twilight was too far in to be embarrassed. She just wanted more.

“Who!?”

“You do, Mistress!”

*Smack!*

“I do what, little girl!?”

“You own this pussy, Mistress!”

*Smack!!*

“Who owns you!? Say my name!”

“You own me, Princess Celestia!”

Yeah. She did that one on purpose.

The slap from her transgression resounded through the room.

“It’s Tyrant Sun! Get. It. Right!” Sun thrust into her with every word.

Twilight tried, but words were far too complicated for her right now. She just about lost her damn mind as she felt Sun finally come inside her with a long, groaning gasp.

Twilight felt it fill her up, felt her lover shudder with the force of it. She felt all that glorious magic course into her and then spill out from between her legs to drip onto the bed. There was so much! She reached back, slid her fingers over her slippery thighs. She drew them, shaking, back to her mouth. She sucked at the stuff, barely tasting it as she reveled in the sweet madness she was lost in. It evaporated in moments, as undirected magic did, but she could still feel it inside her.

“Please don’t stop,” she mumbled, eyes closed. “Please keep going.”

Sun flipped her onto her back again, diving between Twilight’s open legs. She tongued her way up to Twilight’s lips and kissed her, sharing the taste of it. Sun slid that ridiculously perfect cock back into her. Or maybe it was just her fingers. It didn’t matter. They made soft, slow love that way for a long time. They did it until Twilight finally couldn’t take it anymore, until she begged to make it stop. Or maybe she just thought they did. Hard to say.

Twilight didn’t remember much of what happened immediately after that. Celestia must have stopped at some point. She had vague memories of being lifted from the bed and delicately undressed (she had still been dressed!), and then laid down somewhere soft. Twilight’s next fully conscious memory was of burying her face between Celestia’s breasts as they cuddled under a big furry blanket.

It was about as pleasant a way to come to as anyone could ask for.

Twilight sighed, wrapping herself around Celestia, luxuriating in the post-coital everything.

“Hi.”

Celestia ran her fingers though Twilight’s hair. And it was Celestia that she woke up next to. Not Tyrant Sun. Interesting.

“Hi there. Still with me?”

Twilight giggled.

“Always.”

She opened her eyes, only just now really seeing things. They were laying in a big, fluffy blanket on a bigger, fluffier carpet near the fireplace. A warm, friendly flame crackled within. They were both naked. When had that happened? She looked around, confused, but not unpleasantly so.

“Did I fall asleep?”

“For a bit, maybe. How do you feel?”

Twilight laughed.

“I feel like some crazy villain just beat me up and had her way with me and somehow tricked me into liking it!”

Celestia smiled and drew the blanket up a bit.

“Happens to the best of us.”

Twilight laughed again.

“It does?”

Celestia shrugged, laying on her back, drawing Twilight to her.

“What did you like about it, if I might ask?”

Twilight pondered her answer as she settled in, nestling into the space under Celestia’s arm, resting her head on that magnificent chest.

“I’m not sure, exactly. I mean, I really liked some parts. Like, really, really liked them. Stripping for you was fun, I could do more of that. And the whole ‘little girl’ thing. And when you just wouldn’t stop? Mmph! So good! The spanking was pretty great,” Twilight twiddled with her hair, “for some reason. And um, that thing where you summoned up your cock? And, like, shoved it down my throat? We are totally doing that again. Or, like, anything else that involves that spell. I mean, I love your pussy! Your pussy is the best! But that was really great. And that last part, where you pushed me up against the headboard and fucked me and came inside me? Auuugh!” Twilight squirmed around like a child throwing a tantrum. “Why did I like all that so much!? I’m so weird! I mean, I had a good childhood, right? Why am I so weird!?”

It was Celestia’s turn to laugh.

“It’s ok, baby! I’d actually meant to go easier on you, but you seemed game and I just couldn’t resist. I was honestly a little afraid I might scare you off a few times, so I’m so happy you liked it! And if you’ll recall,” she stroked a hand down Twilight’s back, “I was the one who suggested all this in the first place. So if anyone here is weird…”

“Oh,” answered Twilight, waving her paramour’s words away. “Whatever. It’s not weird when you do it. You make everything classy.”

“Hah! That is absolutely untrue!”

Twilight didn’t have an argument against that, so she just kissed Celestia instead.

“I think what I liked,” resumed Twilight, breaking away, looking up to the ceiling. “Was the intensity of it? I mean, I’ve played a little rough before, and it was fun, but maybe this was different because of what you said? That it was my show, that you were doing everything just for me. Maybe that was why I liked why sucking on you so much. I mean, I’m happy to give head, in an ‘I’m happy this makes you happy’ kind of way, and I like the feel of it enough, but it doesn’t normally do what it did for me tonight. It’s just, I could see your face the whole time, and, Goddess, the way you looked at me! I could really feel how much you wanted me in every little thing.”

Celestia had that look again, brimming over with desire.

“You’re starting to make me want to have another go at you, little girl.”

Twilight was sorely tempted. She put a hand to her aching nethers.

“Arrgh! Nope! Sorry. Not tonight.”

Celestia chuckled.

“Fair enough, lover. Was there anything you didn’t like?”

“Oh, I mean…”

“Honey, it’s fine. Just be honest. I won’t be upset.”

“Ok. Well. I didn’t really like the way you talked to me, sometimes. Or, the way Tyrant Sun did. I mean, I know you didn’t mean any of it, but it really felt demeaning sometimes. Kind of took me out of it.”

“I understand.”

“And like, when you kept chaining me to things? And that time when you stopped even though I was just about to get off. It was really frustrating.”

Celestia nodded.

“Patience never has been one of your strong points, has it? I suppose I should have guessed you wouldn’t like to be teased.”

Twilight grinned and pinched her lightly. Celestia giggled.

“You’ve got the makings of a good power-bottom, now that I think on it. We’ll have to try that sometime.”

Twilight quirked an eyebrow.

“It’s, ah, let’s see. So, the top is the person who’s doing things, and the bottom is the person having things done to them. I was the top tonight, and you the bottom. Understand?”

“Alright.”

“So, a power-bottom is still the bottom, but she gets to be bossy about it. It’s kind of a role-reversal without actually reversing roles, if that makes sense.”

“Sure,” said Twilight. “Ok.”

Celestia smiled.

“Anything else?”

“Oh, um, yeah. So, I know it was supposed to be all about me, but I really wanted to give a little back, you know? I wanted to do things for you, too.”

“Oh, honey, you did plenty.”

“Right. I mean, I guess I did, but it didn’t always feel that way, you know? It’s just, I really love making you happy.”

“Well, yes, it was such a burden, pleasuring my beloved ‘till she practically passed out." Celestia stroked her hair. "Truly a trial.”

Twilight stuck her tongue out. Celestia kissed it.

“You can make up for my suffering later.”

“Hmph,” Twilight mock-pouted. “Ok, just one more thing, real quick.”

“Mm?”

“What was with that stuff at the end? About owning me? And it seemed like you kept wanting to, um, choke me? And call me a…”

“Oh, I’m sorry, baby! I just got caught up in the moment, I guess. It seemed like you were really getting into it, and I certainly was, so… And that’s one of Sun’s favorite words, is all. But I didn’t mean any of that. I know you’re your own woman, of course, and I would never-”

“No! I mean, I know, but, yeah. Ok.”

They both settled in after that, and spent a few moments in pleasant silence as each pondered the night’s events.

“So, all that stuff we did,” began Twilight.

“Mhm?”

“That’s all stuff you want me to do with you? When I’m the villain?”

“Oh, absolutely, baby.”

“Even the choking?”

“Ah, aheh. Well...”

“Princess?”

“Yes, Twilight?”

“You don’t have to pretend with me, ok? It’s just like you said. I love you, and I’ll never judge you again for anything you want in bed.”

Everything that could have possibly melted in Celestia melted right there.

“Thank you, Twilight. It’s just, well, this isn’t an easy thing for me, but… You can be a lot more rough with me, ok? You don’t have to worry about, t-that is, you won’t hurt me, and I won’t get upset. We have our safe word, so you can do anything you want! Call me names, tie me up and tease me mercilessly, dress me like a s-” she stopped and licked her lips nervously. “Like a secretary and order me around. Be creative! We haven’t even gotten to any of the really weird stuff, so, just have fun!”

“Ok.”

Twilight kissed her.

“…Wait. Dress you like a secretary?”

Celestia shrugged, blushing.

“Hah! Alright, sure. And the uh, really weird stuff? How much more is there?”

“Oh. Well.” Celestia managed to look eager, embarrassed, and elegant all at once. It was the kind of thing only she could pull off. “We did a little role-play already, but it can go much further. And then there’s bondage and teasing, which we barely touched, and the, um, well, the butt stuff, and foot play, which I love, and tons of costume things, but that’s really just part of role-play. Then there’s voyeurism and exhibition games, which I bet you would really be into. And that’s not even getting started on the things you can do once magic gets involved.”

“Once magic gets involved, you say?”

“I thought that might pique your interest. That toy you so enjoyed is an obvious example, but you knew that one already. There’s shape-shifting, and doubling and switch-play, just off the top of my head. There’s really so much out there, baby.”

“Doubling?”

“Making a magic double of yourself to join in the fun.”

Twilight got the biggest smile at this idea.

“We are absolutely doing that! Ok, what’s…switch-play, was it?”

“That’s where the partners temporarily switch bodies and make love to each other from the other's perspective.”

“Wow. Ok.”

Celestia drew back a bit, looking concerned.

“Too much?”

“What? No! No, sorry. This is just one of those zen moments when I realize how little I really know about something I thought I knew everything about, you know?”

Celestia laughed, and at some point the couple started making out again. They shared a long, loving moment, then…

“Auuugh!” cried Twilight, rolling briefly away. “I’m gonna be so sore! I can’t believe I let you put all these bruises on my butt when I have a three hour train ride tomorrow!”

“Oh,” said Celestia, cringing. She’d almost forgotten Twilight was leaving in the morning. A trip to Manehatten for some much needed vacation with a side of historical research. Only Twilight Sparkle would think to equate the two. “Right. Sorry, angel. Just, eh, think of them as a little secret between you and me. How long are you going to be gone again?”

“There could be worse secrets, I guess. Till Saturday.”

It was Sunday. Almost a full week then.

“And I’ll have to wear turtle-necks the whole time, thanks to all these bites marks! And I won’t even be able to play with myself after the beating you put on my pussy! You really are a Tyrant!” She snuggled up against Celestia, grinning. “You’re lucky I’m such a faithful little student.”

Celestia laughed and caressed her girl as thoroughly as she could without actually having more sex with her.

“Well, your trip should give you plenty of time to plan Midnight Glitter’s terrible revenge.”

“So, it’s going to be her, is it? My own alter ego?”

“It doesn’t have to be. It’s just a fun bit of role-play. You can do whatever you want with it.”

“Well, ok. But I don’t know if I can do it like you do. Or, Tyrant Sun does. Whatever. And frankly, I’m not sure if I can handle this every night. It was great and all, but-”

Celestia laughed.

“Oh, honey! This isn’t a nightly thing! It can be, if you want, but this is more of a special occasion kind of game. And as to doing it like I do, don’t even worry about that. I know you’ll surprise me, just like you always have. But we can think about all that later. You’ve got a big day tomorrow, so hush that pretty mouth and get some sleep.”

Twilight was already yawning. It was kind of amazing she’d managed to stay awake this long. She pressed herself up against Celestia and was out within seconds.

As her lover snoozed beside her, Celestia lamented that this was going to be a long, lonely week.

And the Hazards Therein...

Twilight woke alone, curled up in that big, fuzzy blanket. This happened a lot in her relationships. Celestia was the very epitome of a morning person, and Twilight was a notorious grump before at least nine a.m and maybe a strong cup of coffee, so she was neither surprised nor upset to wake up alone. She had a nice, languorous stretch, marred only slightly by all the little pains the night’s adventure had left her with, and then rolled off the blanket when she felt she was ready. Her train didn’t leave till well after noon, so there was no hurry. Twilight ambled to the bathroom without bothering to dress because she was a grown-ass woman and could walk around naked if she felt like it. She stopped when she saw herself in the full-length mirror and almost laughed.

“Yup. Definitely gonna need a turtleneck,” she said to no one.

Or at least a scarf. She hadn’t packed any, she’d need to have Spike send something. It was cool enough for either. She checked herself out a bit more, amused at the light bruises on her butt and various little marks across her back. She supposed she should be embarrassed, or something. Whatever.

She hopped into the shower and did all the other requisite morning bathroom things, then sauntered out in search of the travel bag she always brought on her trips to Canterlot. She never knew quite where it would end up. Usually it was just left in front of the big double doors of the bedroom, but sometimes she found it under the bed, or in a closet. She suspected Celestia’s staff might be messing with her a bit, making a little game of it to entertain themselves. And that was fine. She didn’t mind people knowing about her relationships. Worrying about that that was Celestia’s thing.

Before she found it, something better caught her eye. Food!

Sitting on the little end table near the doors was a tray full of breakfast, still warm. Celestia must have taken a moment from doing her morning Sun Princess stuff to have sent it for her. A warm little glow filled Twilight. She was so thoughtful!

Twilight abandoned her search for clothes in favor tackling this new situation. She descended onto the platter and, after spattering a wave of crumbs and/or juice all over herself in her excitement, began to wonder if maybe her decision to vigorously eat while nude might not have been the best one.

So, after shower number two, she went back to seeking out her things. She found her bag by the door, because Celestia had thought of that too, with what appeared to be a letter and a small gift box on top of it. Intrigued, Twilight reached for the scroll and popped it open.

“Dearest,

I’m terribly sorry to leave you so soon, but I’m afraid I have a very busy day and you just looked so peaceful this morning that I didn’t want to wake you. I hope you had as much fun last night as I did! I do owe you a bit of an apology though. I get excited when I let Tyrant Sun take over sometimes, and do things without thinking. Just know that I love you, and that the marks will fade in a day or two. I hope you can forgive me my excesses. I got you a little something to make up for my misbehavior. It’s nothing much, but I felt it was appropriate.”

Twilight rolled her eyes fondly. Always so apologetic. Of course she’d forgive her! There wasn’t even anything to forgive. Twilight made a mental note to tease her about that later.

“If it should happen that I don’t see you before you leave, have a wonderful time on your trip. Remember to take some time to see the sights between your studies. Manehatten is a truly marvelous place.

I shall, to borrow your own words, wait with bated breath for your return,

C.”

P.S Please toss this in the fire or something before you go. I know it’s silly, but the idea of anyone finding out what we get up to in here frankly terrifies me.

P.P.S Sun absolutely adores you, by the way. She can’t wait to meet you again!

Aww. Thought Twilight. That was nice. Strange, but nice. Twilight set the letter aside and picked up the box. She untied the big, ridiculous bow and opened it. She had a good laugh at what she found inside: a pair of thin, white, cotton panties, nearly identical to the ones she’d been wearing last night. Where had Celestia even gotten them this early?

She gathered them, the letter, and the rest of her stuff, shoved everything into her bag, and then finally got dressed, because even grown-ass women had to do that eventually. Then she headed out to attack the day. She pointedly refused to be ashamed of any looks the hickies got her.

~~~

Celestia panted, rubbing hard at herself, desperate fingers slippery with her own desire under Tyrant Sun’s skimpy outfit. Her other hand squeezed at one breast, playing at the nipple, then tweaking it sharply when that wasn’t enough. She cried out, shaking with orgasm, back arching up. She flopped back onto the bed, the air around her glowing with lambent magic, momentarily spent. That was the maddening part: momentarily. She knew she’d want more, and soon, and her girlfriend was still days away, having fun without her in another city.

It wasn’t fair to begrudge her some time alone, Celestia knew that. But she wanted her! She brought her well-lubricated fingers to her mouth and sucked at them. It wasn’t something she’d normally do, but Twilight loved it, so there had to be something to it.

Damn her own monogamy! If she’d been like Luna, this would be simple. Her sister had whole harems to keep her busy. One in every city, practically. Alas, Celestia just couldn’t do it. She needed commitment from her lovers.

It might not be fair to be cross with Twilight, but dammit, she was doing it anyway! Celestia hadn’t felt this restless in ages. She shimmied her little outfit back into place and kicked herself up off the bed. She paced back and forth before her full length mirror, booted heels clicking against the floor.

How much longer until she comes back?

Three days, was it?

So long! Maybe We can go to Manehatten, meet her there? Buy out a whole floor of her hotel, make a real night of it?

Celestia sighed. No. She had full days all week. She couldn’t just ignore her responsibilities like that. Even if they have been dreadfully dull lately…

Tyrant Sun said nothing.

Celestia hadn’t noticed when Tyrant Sun had started speaking again. She didn’t notice she was doing it now. It had been a long time, but now that Sun was back, it all felt perfectly natural. Celestia actually felt a bit foolish for having locked this part of herself away for so long. If felt good, having her back. Exhilarating, even. But she wanted to do something. She wanted some excitement. She posed for herself, watching her own reflection. She let her hair flow into Tyrant Sun’s crimson deluge. She gave herself a wicked grin.

Maybe you don’t need Twilight. We’d both love to play with her more, certainly, but I know of another woman you’ve been neglecting who might be able to give what you need, Celestia.

It was certainly tempting. Maybe she could…

A little chill ran through Celestia.

No. She shouldn’t. This was crazy. People these days wouldn’t know what to make of Tyrant Sun. They weren’t ready for this side of her.

Oh, come now. You underestimate them. You thought Twilight wasn’t ready either, and she was everything we could have wanted!

True enough.

Let’s just go out there and have some fun! Make a few decrees, order some people around. Nothing big. Just enough to show them we still can!

Well. Maybe. But just for a little while. Sun wasn’t a monster, after all. Not really even a villain. She could behave. And besides, Equestria had been stable and at peace for centuries. And her people were very understanding. Honestly, what harm could Tyrant Sun do?

Her grin grew a touch more wicked as Tyrant Sun slipped back into the world.

~~~

This wasn’t turning out at all the way she’d hoped.

The first thing Tyrant Sun had done on assuming command was lock Celestia away. That part had worked fine. It had been so easy! Celestia had practically begged for it! Goddess, the woman let herself get so repressed! It was a good thing Sun was here to give her some release.

Perhaps the ease of her takeover should have made Sun more wary…

When she'd first strutted into the throne room like a conquering goddess, Tyrant Sun been ready for some commotion. Dismay, despair, maybe even outright hostility. She'd prepared for it. She’d been hoping for it! Many, she thought, would flee at the very sight of her. Others, the smart ones, would prostrate themselves before her. And a few, a brave, noble few, would stand firm in heroic defiance. Those were her favorites. Maybe they’d even try to fight her!

Aaah, the very thought of it had made her shiver in delight.

What Tyrant Sun had not been prepared for was a complete and enthusiastic acceptance of everything she was.

Raven, her head assistant, had immediately complimented her ‘hot, bold, new look’ and stated that it would ‘change everything about the public views its Princesses.’ She’d smiled as she said it. Smiled! She had been happy to see her like this!

Sun's first decree, that she was here to conquer Equestria, had elicited only polite confusion.

"But you already rule Equestria, your highness,” they had said.

Sun’s announcement that Equestria now had a prettier, better, stronger ruler was met with cheers. Actual fucking cheers! Even her declaration that she was no longer a princess, but a Queen went over impossibly well. That title had inspired nothing short of terror when last Tyrant Sun had strode the earth!

Her stated intent to consume Equestria’s malaise of mediocrity in the flames of her glorious might had met with applause, her plan to dissolve Equestria’s silly little republic and replace it with her own unquestioned, iron-fisted rule had resulted in her own court, the very people she planned to disempower, praising her ‘brazen disregard for tradition,’ her willingness to ‘shake things up,’ and ‘take command’ and ‘make the big decisions.’

She hadn’t even wanted to do that! She was just trying to scare them, and it had backfired completely! Utterly flummoxed, Sun had just flopped back in her throne, unable to even comprehend how this was happening.

“Well. Good then,” she’d finished, lamely.

Raven had stepped forth, eyes bright and eager, quill ready.

“How can we help you ring in this daring new era, your majesty?”

~~~

Tyrant Sun seethed. This wasn’t what she wanted at all! That first encounter in the throne room had set the tone for this whole damned day. Everyone was so absurdly helpful and positive. Every new person who saw Sun immediately admired how ‘fierce’ and ‘dynamic’ her outfit was. It was both of those things, of course, but it was dangerous and racy as well! Why weren’t they talking about that!? Wait, who cared about that? Why weren’t they afraid of her!? What had Celestia been doing while Sun was away? By what magic or trickery had she enamored these people into trusting her so?

Case in point, the pegasus beside her.

“Take that down! It irritates me.” Tyrant Sun waved her hand at a tapestry that would take an entire team of pegasus or unicorns an hour or more to move. “Put it up over there!” Her indicated location was no more than five feet from where it hung now.

“Immediately, my Queen!”

He spread his wings and was in the air before she could even be properly disgusted with him. He was so eager! So perfectly willing to appease her arbitrary demands, no matter how ridiculous. It was infuriating!

She could simply explode one of them, she supposed. That would get the results she wanted. But only a lunatic would break her own toys. She might be a harsh mistress, but a mistress she was, and a mistress was nothing without her servants. But honestly, did they have to be so easy about it?

Contrary to most villains, Tyrant Sun had little interest in actually ruling the world. She didn’t really want it crawling on all fours, trembling at her every word, begging to do her bidding. Well, she did, but more than that, she wanted to conquer it. She wanted to break the world over her knee in glorious combat and force it to crawl on all fours, trembling at her every word, etc, etc. And even then, that was mostly in the hopes of producing a hero that would rise to fight her again, even stronger than those who she’d defeated before. She was a warrior, dammit, not a bureaucrat! All she wanted was some decent conflict!

Actually, on further thought, all Sun really wanted was her girlfriend. Ugh! Why had she ever let her leave? Oh, how she longed to give her little girl another spanking. Twilight knew what she wanted…

At that very moment, the massive double doors of the throne room slammed open.

“Sister!” bellowed Luna in a tone most royal. “What are these nonsense decrees you’ve been tossing about? What are you-”

Luna! Now there was someone Sun could always count on for a good tussle! Why hadn’t she thought of this before? There was no one in the world that could fight like Luna when she was properly enraged. Plus, Tyrant could never be entirely sure she’d be able to come out on top, and that risk made the conquest all the sweeter. This was perfect!

“Luna!” Tyrant Sun bellowed in return, eyes aglow with rising battle lust. Flames licked at the ground near her. “Do my decrees offend you, sister!? Then face me! Prove yourself by force!”

Luna’s eyes went wide as she recognized her sister’s villainous alter ego. Then, quick as a shadow, she was gone, disappearing without so much as a sound.

“AUUUGH!” screamed Tyrant. She balled her hands up into fists and stomped one boot, leaving a stiletto-shaped crack in the stone. “Come on! I’m so bored!”

“She’s so strong!” said one of her subjects.

“I wish I could be like her…” opined a second.

“We’ll have that fixed immediately, my Queen,” said Raven.

“AAAAUUUGGGHHH!”

~~~

Luna re-emerged in her own chambers, eyes still wide in shock.

“What the Fuck!?”

The guards outside her open door jumped. Luna ignored their queries. She was busy remembering an event from a few days past. She’d thought it was funny at the time…

“Fucking Tartarus, Celestia! Really? That’s all it took?” She grabbed a few things and leapt out her balcony window, casting some quick magic to hide her presence, mind working furiously. She wasn’t going to fight her sister, not here, not in the middle of a city.

She let her wings catch air as she pondered what to do.

Well, Twilight had caused this, maybe she could fix it. But…dammit. Luna didn’t know where she was, just that she had left Canterlot. Luna tilted towards Ponyville. Maybe Twilight’s friends would know. Either way, she could find the girl while she dreamed tonight. She’d just have to hope Tyrant Sun didn’t do anything too crazy in the meantime…

~~~

Celestia stroked her long and dexterous tongue between Twilight’s legs.

“Is this good, baby?”

Twilight tried to respond, but her mouth was full. All that came out was a muffled “Mhmm.”

“How about this?” said the second Celestia, pressing her breasts up further against Twilight’s face as the girl licked at them.

“Mhmm!”

“And this, boss?” asked the third Celestia, dressed in an absurdly skimpy bit of secretary-themed lingerie, between sucking on Twilight’s toes.

“Mhmm!!”

The fourth Celestia had just squeezed in beside the second, burying Twilight in the best avalanche ever when…

“Twilight Sp-Gah! Goddess above! Do the two of you ever think of anything but sex!?”

Twilight looked up, torn unpleasantly and unwillingly out of the dream as her several partners *poofed* out of existence. She found herself floating naked in some kind of pale cloudscape.

“I-What?”

Her attention gradually found focus on the only dark point in this radiant realm.

“Luna?”

“Who else!?” snapped the Moon Princess, facing away, arms crossed. “Make thyself presentable! I must speak with thee!”

A cloud coalesced under Twilight, and within seconds the whole scene had changed to something more like her old library. A simple dress formed over her, and she descended lightly onto a nice, wooden stump of a chair. All of this seemed perfectly reasonable to Twilight, caught as she was between dream and wakefulness. The many Celestias, alas, were nowhere to be seen. Regretting their absence might have been the thing that finally drew Twilight up into lucidity.

“Oh! Hi, Luna. What’s up?”

Luna looked back over one shoulder, checking that Twilight had actually bothered to dress herself. She had to be reminded every time. The woman’s latent exhibitionism really came out in the dream realm.

“What is up, Twilight Sparkle, is that your paramour has just declared her intent to conquer Equestria!”

“Um. She already runs Equestria. Along with you.”

“Yes, this argument has been made. Do you suppose I would be bothering you if simple reason could convince her?”

“Well, no, I guess not. But-”

“And once she is done there, she plans to do the same to the rest of the world!”

“What? But that’s-”

“Mad? Yes! It is!”

“But Celestia would never-”

“No, she would not. But perhaps there is someone else who might? Someone living within her? Someone you may have recently been introduced to?”

“Ok, wait, hold on. You mean Tyrant Sun?”

“Of course I mean Tyrant Sun! Who else would I mean!?”

“There’s no need to get snippy, Luna!”

“There is every need to get snippy! Let me make a guess as to how this came about,” said Luna, rubbing at her temples. “Celestia came to you and made a very brave, very endearing confession about certain needs that she wished to have fulfilled, and you, good little student that you are, promised to give her whatever she felt she had to have. And it was then that she told you about this other persona of hers, and then very earnestly pleaded with you to just play along because you would almost certainly enjoy it more than you might think. Is any of this sounding familiar?”

“Um. Sort of?”

Luna sighed, words growing in volume as she went on.

“I see. Did it ever occur to you, Twilight, that it might not be the best idea to indulge the whims of someone who’s literal name is Tyrant Sun!?!?”

“I-b-but she said Sun wouldn’t be a problem!”

“Of course she said that! What else would she have said!? ‘Oh, hello, honey, I’m off to try to take over the world, but ‘tis fine because you’ll get some really dirty sex out of it.’ That’s how our evil sides work, Sparkle! They’re clever and sexy and devious and make everything sound reasonable! Ugh!”

“Well, I’m sorry if I trusted her because she’s honest and good and has never betrayed me or anyone else ever! And that is not fair! I’m not going to let you judge us just because we want things that aren’t-”

Luna waved a hand, kneading at her brow again.

“Yes, I know. You are right, Twilight Sparkle. My insecurities over being powerless to stop this disaster are making me lash out at you despite you being the only person I could think to ask for help, and my jealousy of your abilities is cocking it all up. I apologize.”

“Oh. Wow. That was…honest.”

The two women fidgeted for a long moment.

“So, why can’t you do anything about it?”

Luna sighed once more.

“Because we swore never to fight again. Has Celestia shown you what happens when we truly throw ourselves at an enemy?”

“I guess not, no. But she said something about it. It’s…bad?”

“Hah. Yes. Worse than that. 'Tis why we never do anything directly. But you are free of such constraints.” Luna smirked, already melting away into dream stuff. “Outside the bedroom, anyway. You and your friendship and whatnot can fix this. So get to it!”

“Wait!”

Luna had been fading, but she halted.

“How did you know all that? About what happened?”

“We are sisters, Sparkle. We talk. No subject is forbidden between us.”

“Right, great, thanks for that thought. But I meant Tyrant Sun. Is she like Nightmare Moon was for you? Does every Princess have one of those? Do I have one?”

“Everyone has a dark side, Twilight. Ours are simply more literal. It comes with power I think, so perhaps you will form your own, in time.”

“Wow. Ok.” That was certainly something to think about. “Has she, I don’t know, escaped, or taken over, or whatever, before?”

“Several times. Though not usually by such, hm, unorthodox means.”

“Ok, so how did you get her under control then?”

“We had a fight that levelled half of Old Canterlot.”

“Oh.”

“Indeed. Now, if it would not be too much a burden, get your narrow ass back to Canterlot and fix this!”

~~~

Twilight’s eyes fluttered open. The memory of that last dream stuck with her, forcing her into wakefulness even as she tried to roll away from it. She gave in after only a token bit of tossing and/or turning, threw the covers aside and stumbled out of bed. She stopped in front of the bathroom mirror for a second. She turned to one side, nodding in satisfaction at what she saw there. Then she took her pleasantly curvy and not narrow at all ass into a quick shower, threw on some clothes, and hopped aboard the fastest train she could find to Canterlot.

~~~

It was mid-morning when she arrived. Luna, wearing the guise of someone else, but still so regally imperious that it couldn’t possibly fool anyone who’d ever met her, found Twilight within moments.

“Sparkle," she nodded.

“Luna. So, what’s the plan?”

“There is no plan, as of yet. Tyrant Sun has some grand announcement planned, and it would almost certainly be best if we stopped her from making it, though I doubt we shall have the time. Your friends are on their way.”

“Ok. That’s something. When’s the announcement?”

“It happens as we speak.”

Luna distorted strangely, and it took Twilight a moment to realize that it wasn’t her, specifically, but the space around her. The Moon Princess teleported the both of them into an enormous crowd. At a glance, she recognized the place as one of Canterlot’s huge courtyard areas, ideal for festivals, snow days, and, it turned out, mysterious proclamations by power-mad secondary personalities. It looked like half the city was here. No one seemed to notice their sudden appearance though, and for a moment Twilight was briefly, intensely jealous of Luna.

Teleportation is loud and flashy, not subtle! How does she do things like that!?

“Up there.” Luna directed Twilight’s attention to a raised platform. Tyrant Sun, immediately recognizable by her flaming hair and distinctive sashay, was just walking toward a great, black and gold podium. Two sets of curving stairs led up to the dais, both blocked by guards. “I dare not show myself just yet, so I will remain here. Go do you what you do, Twilight.”

She pushed the younger woman forward.

“Wait! What am I supposed to-”

But Luna was already gone.

“Do..? Alright then.”

She had dealt with things like this before. Lots of times. Just had to go up there and talk her once-teacher-now-lover-who-lived-in-terror-of-anyone-discovering-she-might-ever-have-had-sex into giving up this whole villainy thing in a way that wouldn’t blow their cover. In front of a crowd. Sure. Simple.

Not that their relationship was a secret, exactly. Twilight was certain that the entire castle knew about it, at least. How could they not? Two grown women spending the night together several times a week was a bit of a give-away. It would be more suspicious if they weren’t having sex. Celestia was just kind of weird about it. Twilight didn’t much care for it, but that was a battle for another time.

Should she just teleport up there? Fly? Hrmm. No. The guards would go crazy. She had no idea what Celestia could be thinking with all this, but Twilight held out hope that she could still be reasoned with. Best to get it sorted without a fuss, if possible.

She made her way as best she could through the crowd to the podium. As a rather slight woman in a sun dress and sandals, Twilight knew she didn’t make the most imposing figure, so she put on her best imitation of Luna’s truly masterful bitch-face, lit up her horn, called in her wings, and compensated for lack of size with attitude. It seemed to work well enough. The guards tried to stop her of course, but only as long as it took her to scowl at them, flare her wings, and declare,

“Twilight Sparkle! Princess of Friendship! Out of the way!”

The two soldiers hopped smartly aside without apparent thought. This pleased Twilight. She’d been practicing her bitch-face. It was nice to see it pay off.

“Apologies, Princess, we didn’t know you were here! But this is such a relief! Would you like an escort?”

“No, I don’t think so. I just need to talk to Princess Celestia.”

One man, a unicorn, looked at the other, a pegasus.

“She’s ah, going by Tyrant Sun now, your majesty. Queen Tyrant Sun.”

“I…see.” Queen, huh? That couldn’t be good. “What’s this about? Why is she holding this gathering?”

“We were hoping you knew, m’lady. The Pri-eh, Queen has been acting very strangely for the last few days.”

“Strange how? Evil? Has she hurt anybody?” Urgency wove into Twilight’s voice as she spoke. Luna hadn’t given her much to go on.

“No, your majesty. She hasn’t done anything I’d call evil, exactly.” The guard looked to his comrade, who nodded. “But there’s been a lot of talk about conquest and glory and making Equestria great again.”

“Again?” asked Twilight. “Equestria has never been greater than it is right now. We hold an amazing amount of territory and resources, and our standard of living is the highest in the world! How much greater can it get?”

“Er. Yes, Princess. Like I was saying, it’s all very exciting, but nobody’s quite sure what to make of it. Some of us guards are starting to worry we might have an S-7 on our hands.”

Twilight blinked. Oh, right. That was guard-speak. They loved their acronyms.

“Remind me what a Situation 7 is?”

“Of course, your majesty. It’s when a Princess or other important person has been replaced by some kind of alternate dimension version of herself. As opposed to an S 6, which is replacement by changeling, or S 8, which is replacement by something not covered by S 5, 6, or 7. ”

Twilight considered this. Nonsense like that happened so often that people probably wouldn’t bat an eye over it. And the guards did have a term for it, so…

“Yes. Yes, I’m certain that is exactly what’s happened. You should make sure to tell everyone you know that that is exactly what happened. Thank you. I’m going up.”

The guards saluted and Twilight ascended the stairs to top of the platform. It was smaller than it looked from the ground.

Ok. So where is…Aha!

Tyrant Sun stood at the podium, a scant few meters away, striking a majestic pose. Honestly, everything that woman did was a pose. She appeared to be doing nothing more than basking in the crowd’s attention for the moment, grinning out at them.

Twilight took an unintentional moment to appreciate the view Sun’s outfit provided. She couldn’t decide if it was better seeing her from the front or the back… Anyway! Twilight cleared her throat of nothing.

“Princess?”

“I believe I gave specific orders not to-” Tyrant Sun turned back just far enough to notice Twilight standing there. Her eyes lit ablaze.

“There you are! My wonderful, naughty little girl!”

Tyrant Sun abandoned the podium, strutting away from the crowd as if they weren’t there and never had been.

Twilight ran a hand through her hair and fought not to giggle eagerly.

“Um, hi, Mi-Princess!” She’d almost said Mistress. Dammit, Twilight, get it together!

“Oh, how I’ve missed you! Come here, darling!”

“I-Wait! I have to-mmph!”

The words were lost as Tyrant Sun lifted Twilight into a tight embrace, kissing her fiercely, pressing in close. One of Twilight’s legs wrapped around Tyrant’s on pure reflex.

“That’s my girl.” Sun breathed into her. “How dare you make me wait so long to see you again, you wicked thing.”

“I uh, I’m sorry, but-”

“You certainly should be sorry. But I forgive you. Let it never be said that I am not a generous Mistress.”

“Oh, um, sure, but-”

Tyrant’s hands wrapped tight around Twilight’s hips. She lifted her with ease and placed Twilight atop the balustrade surrounding the platform on which they stood. She stepped in between Twilight’s legs, hands questing over and into the girl’s light sundress.

“Oh, you remembered! What a good little girl you are!”

It took Twilight a moment to guess what Sun was talking about. Then she saw a flash of white as Tyrant’s hand snuck under her dress. The panties! The ones Celestia had somehow gotten her. Dammit, why had she worn those today!? Embarrassing as that was, thinking of Celestia reminded Twilight of what she had actually come here for.

“Princess, just wait a second! We have to, oh my, we have to-” Twilight tried to close up, tried to push Sun off. If she’d had any idea this was going to happen, she would have worn something that was harder to take off.

Or maybe not. Hard to say, just now…

“No we don’t. We don’t have to do anything. But we can do everything. Right now, in fact. But enough talking. Let’s play.”

The crowd, now mostly on Twilight’s left, had gone from open chatter to a quiet, very attentive murmur. Maybe that was what suddenly reminded her that they were there. She could see them out of the corner of her eye. Which meant they could see her.

“Princess, we can’t! There’s people!” She pointed at them. That should do it. The very idea of making such a display of herself should get Celestia back in control.

“Hm? Oh, them?” Sun waved dismissively at the mob. “Pfah. Don’t worry about them. They do anything I say. I’ll tell them to turn around or something.”

Oh. Well. This could be a problem.

Sun leaned in close, voice breathy. “And don’t you even try to pretend you’re not into this. I remember all those times you dragged Celestia out and made her fuck you in the open. Did you think I’d forget? I know you, baby. And I know you’re loving this. They are too. Take a look.” She took Twilight’s chin and turned her head far enough toward the avidly watching crowd that the only way she could even pretend they were alone would be by closing her eyes. “Now, let’s give them a real show, shall we?”

“U-um.” Twilight tried to fight it. She really did! But alas, her wings had already hit half-mast and there wasn’t damned thing she could do about it. It was just…

~~~

A single, resounding *smack* echoed through the courtyard as Luna’s palm collided with her forehead.

Alright. She should have seen this coming. Given what she knew about Twilight, this outcome should have been obvious. Fair enough. This was a turning into a complete disaster, but she was the Princess of the Night and she could handle this. This could be saved. Somehow.

Then Luna had an idea.

~~~

It was just, for the last few years, what with all the heroics and her coronation and all that, Twilight had spent a lot of time in the limelight. And maybe, through no fault of her own, she might, completely unintentionally mind you, have developed a bit of a taste for it. So maybe she wasn’t fighting as hard as she could have. Perhaps her mind was not entirely clear. And really, it was hardly fair and honestly how many opportunities like this could a girl ever expect to Oh, sweet goddess was that her mother!?

Twilight’s everything clapped shut tight.

~~~

It wasn’t her mother, as it happened. It was Luna, disguised as her mother. She made a gesture at the girl, one that transcended nearly all language and cultural barriers. It expressed a simple, quite emphatic question. It asked,

What the FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?!?

~~~

“Oh, so that’s how it’s going to be is it?” She sounded greatly pleased.

Twilight’s head whipped back to Tyrant Sun, an idea forming.

“Pumpernickel?”

Tyrant Sun blinked, looking, just for a moment, truly angry.

“What!?”

“Pumpernickel!”

Sun blinked again, face contorting through several emotions at once. But when her eyes finally really focused, they were the calm violet of Celestia’s.

They didn’t stay calm for long.

Celestia looked at her, confused, hair flowing back into its usual waving rainbow. She looked down at herself, and what she was wearing. She looked at where her hands were, and what they were up to. She looked past Twilight and into the expectant crowd beyond, eyes widening, lips parting in dawning horror. She looked back at Twilight, desperately.

“Um. Hi.” Twilight made a little wave with one hand.

A tiny, strangled sound escaped Celestia’s throat. The nascent scream cut off as Celestia vanished with a little *pop* of cool, blue magic.

~~~

Hah! thought Luna. Verily didst I nail it!

~~~

Suddenly unsupported, Twilight nearly fell off the balustrade. She heard the guards storming up the stairs as she recovered her balance, if not her dignity, from the clumsy landing.

“Are you alright, Princess? What happened?”

“I’m fine! Um, hang on.”

Twilight stepped to the podium and quickly addressed the crowd.

“Ah, hello! Sorry about all that! Totally taken care of though, everybody can go now!”

Sounds of disappointment filtered up from below. Twilight ignored them as best she could and turned to the guards.

"Ok, make sure everybody gets home safe for me. I have to go and, um, take care of some things." Said things were mostly between her legs. She managed to keep her hands away from them for the next few seconds. "And, guards?”

“Yes, m’lady?”

“That was definitely an other-dimensional double. It certainly was not the real Celestia. Please make sure everybody knows, ok? Thanks, bye!”

And then, with another, somewhat flashier *pop,* she was gone.

One guardsman turned to the other.

“Think it was actually her?”

“Oh, totally. Friggin’ hot, though.”

“I know! Anyway, let’s go tell everybody it was a double or whatever.”

~~~

Meanwhile, in the Solar Wing of Canterlot castle, Celestia *poofed* back into existence. Her wail of primal, mortified terror shook the tower from top to bottom.

Author's Note

Luna, at Twilight.

On the Importance of Locking the Door

“You wouldn’t!” cried Celestia, struggling against the silky ties that held her to the bed.

“Oh, I, Midnight Glitter, mistress of the dark arts, most certainly will, my little Princess!” declared Twilight Sparkle, with her best attempt at a villainous laugh.

Celestia bit her lip, preparing herself for what was to come.

Midnight hopped onto the bed, straddling her.

“I’ll do just about whatever I want, I think!” Midnight’s riding crop hit the pillow by Celestia’s head with a sharp *pop!* She slid it across the older Princess’s neck, down into her bountiful, largely exposed bosom, and up onto one breast, pushing aside the diaphanous white gossamer that endeavored to hide it. She slapped the toy lightly onto Celestia’s nipple. It perked up at the attention.

“Y-you beast!” Celestia gasped, squirming under her paramour’s hips.

“I’m sorry!” blurted Twilight, recoiling. “Was that too much!?”

…

Celestia sighed.

“Baby, what did we talk about?”

Twilight blinked. “Um. Not breaking…character. Right. But!”

Celestia smiled indulgently.

“It’s just, you really sounded upset! And, ugh,” Twilight sat back. “I’m sorry. I just, I don’t really get all…” she gestured to herself and the ornate lingerie she wore. It was a black, leathery bra under a similar shrug, a scandalously short skirt and bottom of the same material with a matching corset, and a set of thigh-high boots that took as long to put on and tie up by themselves as the entire rest of the outfit. Then there was the hat. It was some kind of flat-topped, wide-brimmed, vaguely military thing she didn’t even know the name of. And the whole ensemble was highlighted with silvery, spiky studs in all the places you wouldn’t normally want spiky things. It made Twilight confused even looking at the costume. All the more, being asked to wear it.

“This. And…”

Her wave of the crop expanded to take in the scene before her. The Princess, specifically. Celestia wore a thin, gauzy bit of white cloth, bound loosely by golden rings into what might be considered a top that barely managed to cover her breasts, and little more than a loincloth below that. Twilight could see through it even in the dim candlelight of the bedroom. And that was all fine. Great even. Twilight loved that little get-up. The problem was that Celestia was also, quite willingly, tied to the banisters of the bed by the same cloth. “I mean, ok, I get that being seduced by a villain could be hot, but I just, I dunno, I always thought of you as so strong, and it just feels weird to, I dunno…”

“Honey, it’s ok. I know this is new for you. Hey, come here.” Celestia reached for her lover, getting caught on her bonds. She smirked at herself, then magically unknotted one and-

The huge double-door to Celestia’s chambers was blasted unceremoniously open. Luna strutted through, reading a stack of documents, already talking.

“Sister! We require your commentary on these latest…”

The Royal Voice tapered off as Luna took in the scene before her.

Then she burst into unabashed laughter.

“LUNA GET OUT WERE YOU RAISED IN A BARN LEARN TO KNOCK!!!”

It was unclear which of the lovers said what exactly, but it didn’t much matter in the end. They were both drowned out by Luna’s raucous cackling.

“And miss this display? Never!” But she had already turned and begun walking away. “What a wonder it is,” she said on the way out, “to see the student become the Mistress!”

The room echoed with the Moon Princess’s laughter for long moments after she’d left.

Celestia stared at the open doors, positively livid with mortification. Twilight gripped both doors in her magic and threw them shut, locking and barring the things, and then sliding an armoire in front of them for good measure.

Celestia thumped her head against her pillow and groaned in frustration. The mood was certainly dead now, if it hadn’t been already.

Denouement

In the end, everyone came out ahead from the debacle.

It took days to get Celestia out from under her own blankets and back into the world again. Her worries that everyone was going to hate her forever and never respect her again now that they knew what a terrible pervert and deviant and evil, evil woman she really was proved entirely unfounded. Equestrians were a forgiving folk. They largely accepted the story about her other-wordly copy, and even those that didn’t were willing to pretend so as not to make her upset. The only real consequence of this odd little outburst was actually a sudden spike in her popularity. It turned out that the public found her quirks quite endearing, because, as one citizen famously stated, “The Princesses are just more fun when they’re a little weird!” Tyrant Sun became quite popular too, often featuring alongside Celestia in a certain kind of what might be politely called ‘speculative fiction.’ No one felt any great need to mention that last part to Celestia though. She’d clearly been through enough.

Twilight found herself the recipient of similar attention, though it was rather more welcome in her case. She had long been an avid reader of ‘speculative fiction,’ as it happened, and now she had more inspirational material than ever. She and Celestia carried on in their relationship, and things were a bit more open than before. It didn’t make the now unavoidable talk on the subject with Twilight’s parents any less awkward, but it was a start.

Luna, too, found a way to profit off of the whole thing. She hadn’t actually had a harem in every city, as Celestia had thought, but, with the sudden realization among the people that Princesses both liked sex and wanted to have more of it, she for damn sure did now. It was glorious.

Even Tryant Sun won out. It took some convincing, but Twilight managed to keep Sun from being banished back to the recesses of Celestia’s psyche, as long as she swore not to try to take over the world any more. It was a condition she readily agreed too, as long as she was allowed the occasional ‘conquest’ of Fort Twilight. And maybe conquest by Twilight, every so often. Everyone involved agreed it was good compromise. It wasn’t cheating if you did it with your lover’s marginally evil alter-ego, after all. Especially if you knew a spell that her good side be there at the same time.

That little talk about mixing magic into the bedroom had filled Twilight’s head with ideas, you see. So many wonderful ideas…
