We rejoin Tracey Higgenbottom as she explores the steampunk countryside of Dnalgne.
When Tracey takes a steam-carriage to visit her childhood friend, she expects to spend the week relaxing by the ocean cliffside. Instead, she once again finds herself swept into a mystery: a crime is brewing in the village...and she's been tasked to stop it!
With the help of familiar-and new-faces, Tracey embarks on a quest to stop the culprit and reveal their identity. But things are more than meets the eye-she must be careful of whom she trusts, and the threat of failure looms large...
A steampunk mystery for all to enjoy!

She works two jobs just to pay the rent and now that her cheating fiance has moved out, she is lost. So when she receives a plane ticket to Scotland from an anonymous source with an address of where to go, she jumps at the chance for something new.

First Steps Again
How does someone learn to be a baby again? To walk again, to play again? And how does a princess learn to be a mother-and to be imperfect? Alex, a 21-year-old engineering student, is suddenly pulled from his world into the land of Equestria. But now, he finds himself in the body of an almost-newborn, forced to relearn everything-while his adult mind struggles to make sense of a world that doesn't follow the same rules of physics as Earth. It's not easy when your body insists on acting like an infant. Princess Celestia, a ruler who has quietly longed to hear the word "Mom," offers to help him find a way home-if such a thing is even possible. Until then, she'll take care of him. Determined not to burden her further, Alex plays the part of a normal foal, hiding his lingering awareness. Can he maintain the charade, or will his struggle reveal the truth? And as Celestia tends to him, will she discover that motherhood isn't about perfection? I wrote this fanfic based on a simple question: Why are there so many stories that approach age change with something like, "Oh, I'm a kid again... good to know" and skipping almost the entire childhood and learning process? If you're interested, follow me on a journey of learning equine biology until midnight, making sense of the magic system, reading articles about motherhood, and improving my grammar skills (English is not my native language-Spanish is-so there might be some odd phrasing. If you find any, please let me know). Cover by vanilla-chan Thank you so much, I love the cover. Thanks to Noobblue for helping me with the idea of the story.

She is sent on a bus to a stricter convent in New Orleans, Louisiana, but in a drama fueled twist, God has different plans for the joyous nun. She is to solve a murder.
