We all know the stories where our heroes fall to the darkness. But sooner or later the light sears away the dark, and the price must be paid. And those they love must find a way to pick up the pieces, and those hurt must find a way to move on.

A goddess, huh? At least Fluttershy recognizes that she can be a threat to others until she learns how to control her new powers.
No words. Just... slow clap.
why weren't Rarity and Fluttershy being treated originally? They obviously weren't competent to refuse treatment and we've seen ponies commited in the show

Because "Competence" to refuse treatment has a much, much higher bar in Equestrian society. Since neither of them qualify as psychotic (And there's really no way in hell to hold either of them against their will) It's better to co-operate and try using sweet reason.
Rarity consentraping Blueblood is a strange but somewhat believable idea O_O Though I expect she was actually talking about Spike when she talked about the nameless someone she owes so much to.
4815752
Oh. She was.
But that's something I'm saving for a rainy day, since that's sort of a HAPPY scene (And thus would be tonally dissonant here.). Blueblood getting his comeuppance is more of a snarky thing.
Fluttershy is now the Goddess of Kindness? Fascinating. If Fizzy's potion has the potential to create deities under the right set of circumstances...
Maybe Celestia should rethink having him continue working on that potion.
Well played.
This has been a great ride. Kinda said to see it end. Still, looking forward to what happens to Elegant and the rest of 'em.
4815853
Well, it's a lot more complicated than that with Fluttershy. Scoops called her a "Goddess" Since it was the only word he could think of at the time.
Think of her more like the Spirit of Kindness in physical form. Analogous to Discord, really.
4815864
I'd still argue that is approaching deity level power. Maybe more like demi-goddess. Either way, seeing what Fluttershy has become makes that potion far more dangerous than what it originally seemed. And it was pretty dangerous before.
Will the road to curing genetic disorders lead to having other 'Spirit of's' manifest before all is said and done?
A Spirit of Anger would ruin someone's day.
The nature of discord here, perhaps is truly, and criminally undersung. Its so rare any author gives him showing more than a poor form of chaos.
It was fitting, that he would move in ways he understands, and is. But you've been one to nail him pretty accurately for being more than he is. And so few do. So few do...
Overall, perhaps, I think you've also deliberately created a synergetic approach to fluttershy and rarity. Rarity in the nature of emotional sustenance, and shy in her nature to give, and other side aspects boosted in this matter to give so.
Still, hmm, I guess what seems off here. More than usual, is the nature of what you mentioned. How did you mean Spirit when you had discord say it?
4816675
I'll send you a PM if you want an explanation, because the nature of what a "Spirit" is is... Not really spoilers but it can kind of spoil the mood I'm going for here. It's supposed to be mysterious to everyone EXCEPT Discord, as it finalizes that while she may have gained great power, it has isolated her in a way that is nearly as bad as her previous isolation was, and far more difficult for her to escape.
4816840 I would, if you didn't mind. It stood out as very odd, given that those who really use discord in this manner, well, he means exactly what he says, and with english being a language of many nuances in meaning vs intent, it stood out as a very strong word.

The title at the end refers to two versions of the truth. The first one (Which outright names the NLPA) was a book written well after the fact, and is supposed to describe his actual feelings about what happened.
The second one (The Case of the Century) is the article he wrote about the case for the Equestria Times. (You'll see a bit of how this dissonance happens in the epilogue)
The idea is that sometimes, in a situation as complicated as this one became, the truth becomes blurred as a result of someponies wanting to hide certain things from the public. That sometimes, a truth is really too horrible for the common folk to contemplate, so they are told a fairy tale to protect the victims.
As to the other minor errors... Look, this thing needs a good editing run, I'll freely admit that.
Also Re: "Prince Armor" - is mostly because in Equestria (In my headcanon) 'Prince' is more of a professional title than one of any actual political significance, and is treated in much the same way that one treats the title "Doctor" or "Professor"
Whereas "Princess" Denotes an out-and-out ruler of Equestria in some capacity, and so they are treated like "Royal" titles, I.E "Queen Elizabeth", "King George", Etc.
Fluttershy...a....goddess-like figure? Nope, that it is, I'm out, I'm gone. Good-bye, so long! I can not stand Fluttershy glorification. Would like to know the answers but not so badly I want to put up with...that...
