A/N: This was an interesting concept I came up with… AU crossover with My Little Pony, with Axel/Flurryflame as Princess Celestia and Saïx/Moonwolf as Princess Luna. ^^; I wanted to end with a better one, but I couldn't come up with anything better than what I did for Fire, and this is the idea I kept coming back to. Sorry if you don't like MLP.

For the record, Axel would be a horrible ruler. xP

Set 1 – Lunar Flare

10 – Marshmallow

Ruling a whole land was annoying. Ponies actually expected you to know what to do when your brother who you (kinda-sorta-accidentally) banished to the moon a thousand years ago was supposed to finally come back. At least, the ones who paid attention to their history did. Like Frostbite something-or-other; Teardrop Flurryflame kept forgetting his full name.

"Lord Flurryflame, by my calculations—" Frostbite galloped onto the balcony, where Flurryflame was trying to adjust the stupid telescope to look at the moon. The thing probably had a good thousand years of rust caked on it; it had been Moonwolf's. Was still Moonwolf's.

"Yeah, I know, apocalypse in three days, whatever." Flurryflame waved a hoof. Frostbite had made it a habit to barge in on him no matter what he was doing for the past month, rambling about how the blue alicorn would be hungry for revenge. "Working on it."

"But Lord, without the Hearts of Harmony—"

"Frostbite, would I be a ruler of Equestria if I was a complete idiot?" He could still picture the exact look his brother would give him, a look that would say "Don't ask a question you don't want an answer to."

The blond unicorn hoofed at the floor nervously. "What I meant to ask is, what is your plan for stopping Moonwolf Crescent?"

"Lord Moonwolf Crescent," Flurryflame corrected automatically, making Frostbite wince.

"…When he returns, will he still be—?"

"Frostbite." The red alicorn glared, green eyes bright with fire. "If you challenge my brother, you challenge me. Got it memorized?"

"I-I apologize, Lord." The unicorn bowed, practically groveling.

"Get up and get your tail out from between your legs." He sighed, wondering how Frostbite had ended up in the royal court in the first place. He didn't care to think back that far. "I've got a plan. Send a Dusk with a letter to Sunset Keyblaze and Dawncrest Tide."

"…The young pegasus and unicorn who-?"

"Yes, them," Flurryflame interrupted before Frostbite could list off one of the many escapades the pair had gotten into. It wasn't their fault that they were completely ignorant; Flurryflame had 'adopted' them from an earth pony village where he had found them abandoned. He still swore that if he ever found out who left them he would banish them to the moon for a thousand years.

The alicorn stopped fiddling with the telescope, which was making him want to bang his head against the wall, and summoned a quill, ink, and paper to hastily scrawl a note. "There. Be sure they get it."

He flapped his wings to dismiss Frostbite, who reluctantly trudged back into the palace.

"Finally," he muttered after cleaning the rust off with a shot of magic. Peering through the telescope, he could see the glowing disk that was his brother's prison. "Shoulda done that earlier…"

It felt so close up here, so bright and gold. Like Moonwolf was glaring at him.

"This'll be some family reunion, huh, bro?" Flurryflame smiled sadly, tucking his wings against his sides. "We'll throw a party, go flying, roast marshmallows…" He shook his head, jostling his carefully styled mane of spikes. "Who am I kidding?"

Familiar regrets filled his mind. If I didn't accuse him… If I wasn't an attention-hogging jerk… If I had just listened instead of jumping to conclusions and thinking he was possessed again…

One thousand years. One thousand years without his brother, without his best friend. Ruling Equestria alone. Very few ponies even remembered there had been a second Lord; none were alive who had personally seen him. None except Flurryflame.

Sunset and Dawn'll find the Hearts, he told himself. The same Hearts he and Moonwolf used to possess, the ones they used to banish Xehanort from Equestria and take over the kingdom, back when the names Axel and Saïx were forced upon them. That was lifetimes ago. How much had Moonwolf changed after being alone on his namesake for a thousand years?

I want the old Moonwolf Crescent back… the one from before we were Lords. Before he got all jealous and I messed everything up. Even someone as stubborn as him can't stay mad after being blasted with heart-rays…

He can't stay mad at me… right?

A/N: Hopefully this makes sense to non-MLP fans? ^^;;; I'd ramble about several writing-related things here, but I'm sure you don't want to read my lame angsting.

Aaaand we're done with set 1. :D I'll miss writing AkuSai drabbles, but I have a slew of AU ideas inspired by just these ten, so if I can't resist writing about them more I might continue those.

Set 2 will be for Zexion and Naminé! I really, really need to finish 100NM first, though.
