Indigo Zap had long hoped to join the ranks of the Inquisitors, and on a long train ride to Canterlot, that day has finally come. A little paperwork and a couple of tests, she is ready to start her work, bringing peace, prosperity, and, most importantly, justice to the world of Equestria.

A story written for the Science Fiction Contest III. It is a prequel to Cyberpony: Y2K, but they are both standalones. It takes place before Y2K, but neither is required to read the other.

And now, for some content warnings:
--Profanities: A few profanities are located in the story.
--Light violence. There are guns, and they are used.
--Character death. Death is referenced, and occurs, in the story.
--Reference to brothels.
--Androids are kept as slaves and not legally classified as real ponies.

Lyra is one of the more prouder and outspoken Wondercolts, often unafraid to show where she stands. She shares similar sentiments with her classmates that the Shadowbolts are arrogant and jerks. Even Trixie agrees with that sentiment and shares a hatred for their rivals. She probably hates her former friends that attend CPA more though, internally hoping she doesn't see them during the Games.

Sunset just doesn't like people who remind her of who she used to be and Crystal Prep is full of people like that, from Suri to Neon Lights.

This story is a sequel to Sanctuary

Unofficial sequel to “Sanctuary” by Kaidan.

After being released from Broadhoof Memorial Psychiatric Hospital, Twilight Sparkle attempts to rebuild her life and her friendships in Canterlot, but finds that regaining the trust of the ponies she hurt might be harder than she initially imagined….

A/N: Featured on Fimfiction’s List of Stories On The Homepage: January 19, 2024!! My first proper G4 story in over 3 years and my first story of 2024. Set in the ‘Asylumverse,’ this story is an alternate take on the “Amending Fences” episode and deals with the aftermath of Sanctuary. Reading for that story is REQUIRED in order to understand this one as I’m making it as a direct sequel. Updates will hopefully be coming daily until this story is complete. Enjoy!

Twilight Sparkle has found herself feeling a bit lonely in Canterlot, even with Spike for company. And her first friendship council isn't scheduled to meet for at least another week. What's a princess to do?

Why, invite some of her other friends over for a sleepover at the castle of course. Twilight reaches out to her old Canterlot friends, offering them an opportunity to spend the night in the royal palace with her. They all accept.

Even though Twilight is the supreme ruler now, she still wants to make time for her friends and catch up. The rest of the group, meanwhile, are curious to know just what it's like to have an entire castle and its staff under your command.

When Nightmare Moon collapses during an exceptionally cold winter night, Minuette tends to her, seemingly changing how the dark alicorn behaves.

As a result, Nightmare Moon offers the unicorn mare a place beside her for Heartswarming, a chance Minuette cannot pass up.

Written for Jhoira for Jinglemas 2023.

I'm Moondancer, friend of Princess Twilight. Yeah that surprised me too. Especially after she abandoned me and my party but water under the bridge as ponies say. My friends, Minuette and the others in Canterlot decided it would be prudent to visit an orphanage in town and make the fillies and colts happy since Hearths Warming is coming up in a few months. Everything changed when I meet a filly who is scarily like me. Better question is why do I feel this way?

A concerned friend comes to see Berry Punch after she struggles with her drinking.

Picture, if you will, the most mundane of existences that could ever be imagined on our planet. What you just thought up was probably very much like my own, happy, regular, uninteresting-in-every-possible-way life. Simply mix in a healthy dose of 'staying away from women or romance of any kind at all costs' and you've got it down pat.

Well, that didn't last long.

I guess all that boring-ness was saved up in some cosmic karma pool or something, because I've suddenly woken up in a strange pony land where everything's flip-flopped and I'm treated like a helpless child. And all with a new body, to boot!

Joy of all joys.

Hi, my name's Heath. Here's my story.

RGRE

This narrative is essentially the culmination of everything I've wanted to see happen in similarly-themed stories but never did. It is my belief that perhaps the best reason for writing a story is that you really want to read one that has not yet been written. That was certainly the case for Libero.

In any case, I won't spoil too much, but the purposeful lack of Comedy, Human, or Slice Of Life tags should be indication enough that this fic will not be following the path of its predecessors.

Updates will likely be very sparse, as that's just the kind of writer I am.
