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).

(This Story takes place after Twilight's Revenge) (Celestia and Luna have decided to stay in Equestria for a little while longer). Everyone has an eye for fan fiction, so dive into this new spin off of the my little pony theories and shows. *There may be spoilers if you have not seen the shows. Everyone in the fandom seems to want the answers to Princess Celestia's and Princess Luna's origins, this story delves into the past of where they originated from, there parents and the history of Equestria, in the time of Starswirl the Bearded, this is the first book that will unlock untold secrets of the past. This first book is Galaxia's story, the mother of Celestia and Luna. As the new kingdom has just recovered from the devastating war against the ruthless dragon king, the ponies once again divide among their race; unicorns, earth ponies, and pegasi, but the unicorns have taken the Canterlot under their rule, as unicorns were deemed superior to all other living creatures. Queen Iris, and King Astraeus have just given birth to two beautiful unicorns, Galaxia and Chrystalline. Though Chrystalline was born with a devastating mutation, a curse it seemed, of a crooked horn. Queen Iris took Galaxia immediately under her responsibilities, and left Chrystalline to their father, she was ignored, neglected and scorned by her mother. This story highlights tragedy, and the spectacular story of Chrystalline finding her destiny, who will become most famous in Equestrian history a legend, until the story was hidden, and made forgotten by a powerful Alicorn who's guilt, would erase her sisters story.....and you'll have to read to know why....

Can life get weirder after you fight an army of eldritch horrors? Well, it can, if you're Innocent Sun. Equestria has been plunged into dark powers not meant to be controlled, but then, what about Chaos Magic? Actually, things might only get worse. Whatever the case, Sun's back, and with the help of her friends, old and new, she's ready to use her witchcraft to fight back against (and probably crush beneath her hoof) whatever dares to threaten her peaceful life! However, Sun isn't the only one who's important - any character can be! Through the eyes of biased narrators, both original and from MLP:FiM, read harrowing journeys across Equestria's forgotten lands and familiar sights, or maybe just a wacky adventure full of nonsense. ...Still reading? Okay, good. So, this is obviously a sequel to my last story, Songs of Innocence, but if you haven't read that, that's okay! The explosive first chapter of this story will seamlessly make you understand who Sun is, which is what's most important! You can even think of the previous story as just the pilot, while this is the main series, so to speak. This story will be a much more... casual read. Unlike SoI 1, this one is not based on a previous draft, so I'll just be making it up as I go along this time. Oh, and by the way, I think I gotta say this, so... I don't own any concepts, characters, or locations canon to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, such as (but not limited to): the Elements of Harmony, Fluttershy, and Equestria. Those belong to Hasbro.

(MLP! Equestria Girls Harem! x Female Reader!) !!CREDITS TO GIVRALIX, SKETCHMCREATIONS, KIMBERLYTHEHEDGIE, AND SUGAR-LOOP FOR THE VECTORS. MANGATEXTURES FOR THE OVERLAYS!! (The cover is my edit :3) (Y/N) (L/N), a girl that has attained the abilities of a God, has decided to transfer in Canterlot High for a little change. Having been alone most of her life, she doesn't know a thing about true friendship. What will happen when she transfers to Canterlot High and sways multiple hearts? Not only will (Y/N) learn about friendship, she'll also get to experience the feelings of love.. So I decided to make a MLP EG fanfic because I was inspired by an author named LordStarX101! He's an amazing writer and literally his stories are to die for! I don't see that many femalexfemale stories with EG and so I'm going to write one :> Also there are some added aspects from other shows (like Yugioh, Noblesse and Fairy Tail and you'll see why when you read the story) which I included in this book because I thought it'd be entertaining to write so please don't come for me- Now bare with me because I've only seen Equestria Girls and Rainbow Rocks. The rest I've seen little clips of, but not the whole thing so sorry if it isn't accurate. Alrighty, without further ado, hope you guys enjoy this story! Oh yeah, if you don't like gxg then please scroll over to another story. Thanks. !!NOTE: Pictures that appear on here aren't mine so credits go out to the beautiful owners/artists!!
