Having a pair of benevolent god-monarchs as the ruling powers in Equestria has worked for thousands of years, but there are some ponies, particularly those sitting one step from the top of the ladder, who feel that having the top of the ladder permanently occupied by all-powerful and, more annoyingly, immortal rulers is violating some unwritten rule somewhere.
And there are always those on the bottom who figure that a little social reshuffle might be in order.

Well, this is a promising start!
4699355 I'm glad?
4699619 I couldn't resist I'm afraid: it was more or less what prompted this whole mess in the first place...
4699685 I'm pleased to hear that you like it sir! More chapters will be forthcoming within the next few days.

I must admit, having Fancy Pants as on the antagonists is a novel idea - I don't think I've ever really seen anyuone use him like that. So bonus points for that.
4708302 Thanks! I've already written one where he was the good guy so I guess it's only fair to swap things around.
Pahahahahahahaha!
Nice!
Points for style, Shining, points for sytle!
4718684 Huzzah! Laughter! I was happy with Shining in this, glad you are too.
A delightful read, captures Pratchett's style on top of being well-paced and entertaining.
I like what you did with Shining as well, he doesn't get anywhere near enough attention in fics.
4727747 Glad you enjoyed it, sir. I do try not to simply copy Pratchett but it seems that years of exposure to high level literary radiation from the critical density of his books on my bookshelves has vastly improved, but greatly influenced the style of, my work. Thanks for the read.
Awww... That was fun and cute, a nice, lighthearted and enjoyable read. Nice to see Shining in his element, and the choice of incapacitation for Fancy Pants was quite funny. Thanks very much for sharing this!
5488705 Glad you enjoyed it good sir! Always good to know that stories are liked.
More delightful than pineapple upside down cake. I'll craft you a better review later. Thank you for a very pleasant read.
5510936 Thank you for a very pleasant comment.
That was a very cute, nice and fun thing to read.
I love you, Shining!
No homo.
But seriously!
Poor Grey Streak, he doesn't even know he's playing Celestia's game...
Definitely feeling the Pythionian and Pratchettian influences.
