"To Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia, it is a simple surprise visit to Canterlot. To the ponies of the Equestrian Civil Service, it is twenty-four hours of chaos, politics, weaponized dessert, politics, underhooved manipulation of media, politics, and things batrachian and tentacular. Who said bureaucracy isn't exciting?" by GhostOfHeraclitus
Ignore the OC tag. This is original characters so well done they should be in the show, writing that reads like Terry Pratchett wrote MLP fanfic, and a behind the scenes look at Canterlot Castle that's amazingly entertaining. I can't rec this enough.
