AJ, there's a reason there are almost no stories of you going crazy and mass-murdering people or taking over Equestria or what have you.
It's because you aren't a very smart pony.
Don't try to be evil. You're just sad at it.
Also, your accent is atrocious to read and your so-called villainy is a sad and pathetic cry for attention. Get therapy already.
5697959 I'll say this, the accent was intentionally a bit thick to show she was kind of forcing it.
Glad AJ's characterization got through though.
5697974 Yeah, figured it was something like that
5697959 Thank you!
I just realized something here: Those "Wanted" posters of Applejack, they're not put up by the guard or anything, they're put up by Granny Smith, aren't they? They're there to tell AJ she's "wanted" back home. I really liked the classy FlimFlam brothers here too.
I like the fact that the mirror Flim and Flam use the same fast-talking logic as justices that their main universe versions do as con ponies, only here they're more logical, and using their abilities of persuasion for good rather than evil.
If Changeling reproduction works the same way on both sides of the mirror (and I don't see why it wouldn't) then Duchess Chrysalis probably is a grandmother, and many-times-great-grandmother, to a degree which no other Kind of Pony could even hope to aspire. The big difference between the two Chrysalises is that the Queen from the main worldlines has adopted an extremely-predatory, and the Duchess from the MIrrorverse an extremly-symbiotic, way of relating to Ponykind and obtaining Love from them. All else follows from that, though obviously, the decision itself came from differences in their moral character to begin with.
6505744 Very glad that came across! that's what I was going for!
These are indeed these characters 'as they should have been'. IE, if they'd used their abilities for good.
I like the idea that the good version of Starlight Glimmer tries to elevate everypony to the highest expressions of their personal talents.
5697935 Truer words have never been spoken.
Six months later, Fluttershy wonders to herself... "What's a phone?"
Awesomely beautiful. You basically had Reflection Twilight go through Humanoid Twilight's story arc, only more intensely. You brought tears to my eyes at the end, too.
LOL! Love this chapter. Mirrorverse AJ acting as a Card Carrying Villain (albeit a pretty inept one) in order to try to stick it to her grandmother and big brother is both funny and explains a lot. :-D And the little inversion of the Mirrorverse Mac being a handsome and rich, but egotistical Casanova Wannabe who can't get a date off a calender is ALSO a nice touch. :-D
Anyway, great job on all the exchanges, emotional content and humor in all the right places. :-D
I have to say, you did a darn good job on this story as a whole. All the background stories are well-done (emotional enough where we can see where they were all coming from, but just humorous enough to avoid being too dark) and this one was no exception. Mirrorverse Twilight, in particular, had a background story where, yeah, you could definitely sympathize to some extent (trying to live up to near-impossible standards from an early age has to be rough). At the same time, however, it still makes it clear that her stubborn refusal to accept help, even when it's clear she needs it, is just as much to blame for her circumstances as anything else.
There's no shame in admitting when you need help. I mean, even Batman isn't smart enough to handle EVERYTHING on his own, nor is even Superman powerful enough to handle everything on his own.
Sorry about that. Got carried away for a second.
Anyway, great job on this last chapter. Not only are the exchanges, emotional content, action and humor all well done in all the right areas, it even leaves good material for a possible sequel (i.e. the mention of Empress Cadance). Anyway, as I said before; job well done. :-D
As a martial artist, I'm with her. I also REALLY like this version of Starlight, and kinda feel bad for Rainbow Dash. Crash, whatever.
That's, an interesting spin on Starlight's equality philosphy, I really like it.
Even here Fluttershy does care about Rainbow.
Well...
Tirek?
Even here, Discord is a chessmaster, and a damn good beneveolent one.
Tree Hugger, is like Poison Ivy, oh god...
Love this guy.
He has a point, he can warp reality to his whim, if he so wished, he could be even worse than the Princesses, there's little anyone could offer him that he can't create himself.
I kinda want fanart of Lord Scorpan now.
Well...
Not exactly.
Oh hell, that's the magic absorbing thing Sci-Twi had.
Ahuizotl, interesting.
Maud, is a rock star. Hm. Hm.
You win. You win.
You know, red actually WOULD work pretty well on Tirek.
Interesting...
This should be fun.
You got Flim Flammed.
I do like how they're using the same fast talk and smart thinking their canon counterparts use but for good.
Well, Flim and Flam are like a good chess player, you have no clue what they're up to.
Uh, yeah. All rules don't always apply at the same time.
Yeah, if they don't, they can become obsolete.
They're judges, it's kinda their job to listen to the whole story.
Ha ha, horse puns.
Not every day you see THAT sentence.
Doubt it...
Heh.
Err...
Possibly...
Heh.
Oh dear.
Whoa wait WHAT?!
Riiight.
She has a point.
She is ridiculously paranoid.
What bit her the wrong way?
Uh, not sure if that's such a good idea...
This is like what she did in Friendship Games but worse.
What?
Yes, but you still shouldn't, not safe.
Oh boy.
Here we go...
Whoa there!
I see...
Guess she's got experience with this.
Oh yeah.
Not sure...
If only.
This is gonna end poorly.
Uh, Twilight...
Oh hell.
Oh this will end poorly...
Oh shit...
To be fair, it IS a prototype...
A lot...
That's why.
Too much.
Oh, oh no...
Twilight, don't do this!
Never have those words sounded so sinister...
Agreed. I'm just glad Twilight didn't get YOUR magic.
Arise, Midnight Spotlight.
Can't believe I got the name right.
Oh boy. WIth your now twisted mentality, how is she gonna answer right?
That's actually a good question, I'd imagine they're more for intimidation than actually eating meat but, eh.
Then what was it?
Ooh...
Again, she didn't know you were taking the test, how she was she supposed to answer?
I have to admit, I side with her here.
She's nuts.
Oh dear...
No, she's an alicorn, ie part Earth Pony.
Yep.
You're insane.
A LITTLE?
Ironic, isn't it?
The Elements...
For once, she's right.
She's really gone off the deep end.
I'd make the meme, but, it's more sad than epic.
I can only imagine how much it's got to suck to be hit by the Elements like that, the weight of your mistakes crashing down on your suddenly clear head.
They're really not.
I suppose so, yes.
Who knows?
Sequel, yay!
6680710
I'm really glad you enjoy it.
6680710
She was stabbed in the back by her own brother.
6669723
Interesting eh?
6804575
I certainly think so -- I've been following this.
Hey there. Thanks for getting this bonus chapter up. I really appreciate you going to the effort. Love the introduction (in your continuity) to the Mirrorverse counterparts to the CMC and Diamond Tiara. The exchanges, emotional content and humor are all well done in all the right places. Also, the stuff about the show being on for so long that the writers ran out of ideas is a nice little (possible) Leaning on the Fourth Wall nod to how long the canon series has been running. I'll definitely be looking forward to your next Mirrorverse story as soon as time and inspiration will allow.
7022169
They haven't run out of ideas until the rest of the mane six get to be immortal too.
7022229
I doubt that. With all the hassle that was ascending ONE of them, do you really want to real with the fandom drama and reprecusions of 5 MORE Twilicorn fiascos?
7022659
I love everything the fandom hates, and hate everything the fandom loves anyway.
7022719
So by that logic, you're a contrarian. That explains, SO much.
7022721
;-;
7022734
Don't give me that, I'm just saying, by your own logic, you are a contrarian. Your logic, don't blame me.
7022229 Yeah. Or when Celestia and/or Luna actually get to defeat a major villain or monster ON THEIR OWN for the first time in more than a thousand years as opposed to making Twilight and her friends do the dirty work and/or getting Worfed when they actually DO try to handle it themselves.
So Apple Tiara, Meanie Belle, and I can't place Scootaloo. Anyway, I've always wondered about an idea like this, with Apple Bloom and DT switched, so I can't wait to see the sequel.
I hope we get to see some of Empress Cadanza and Shining Armor too, the last two chapters have really made me wonder about them.
7029840 It may take a while to come out. But we have plans to give those characters the depth and growth they deserve as main antagonists.
7022229 7022659 I think the rest of the Mane Six should ascend, yes, but only as the grand finale to the last season. Anything else would create far too much drama and change the series far too much.
7031202 I'm looking forward to that!
6510364 Clark also bends slightly over and acts nervous and clumsy.
It was interesting to read the sequel. I hope you write many more stories about the mirror verse. You seem to have a niche for it.
Applejack's failed attempts to commit crimes had me laughing my *ss off. When she got to her backstory..........that hit me in the feels. I hope she finds success in life.
I have to confess. I really, REALLY hated this Pinkamena character. She is a well-intentioned but misguided authoritarian who does not understand the concept of free will, and will steal other people's unhealthy food and force others to be miserable, all because she believes she's helping them be healthy. She reminds me too much of a certain First Lady, a health obsessed authoritarian who will not leave the children alone and will take away their pizza and candy and forcefully feed them healthy foods that tastes absolutely horrible. Good grief.
I do so love Maud Pie. It is very surreal and........interesting to see her express emotions.
.................when I first heard of Rainbow Crash, I found it amusing that she's kind of a klutz..........but this chapter caused me to sympathyze with her. And as the chapter kept progressing, the more depressed I was getting..........I'm glad Rainbow is getting some help she needs.
And I'm very much loving this Starlight Glimmer. She is a intelligent, a good debater, and can defend herself well. I love her.
This. Was. A beautiful chapter. ALL. So. Beautiful. the conflict, the moral, the character development, the humor, the emotional impact, and how I can relate to this..........it was jsut beautiful.
I guess the Flim and Flam brothers had to approach Rarity in a method I would not have considered. Good on them.
And it looks like Granny Smith has realized that she has made a mistake with her granddaughters, she just can't figure out what.
...............I didn't expect this story to get serious to the point the lives of everyone in Canterlot were in real danger, nor did I expect the Cerberus Syndrome to be in full effect. Then again, there were a couple of foreshadowing that hinted SOMETHING was gonna happen in this party, I just did not expect Twilight to go One Winged Angel and try to kill some people through her insanity. I am happy that the characters us readers have been following have started to do the right thing and were able to help stop Twilight from doing something COMPLETELY worse.
And Maud Pie is such a kick*ss in this fight. Kudos to her.
And I'm especially happy that Applejack's, Rainbow's, Fluttershy's, and Rarity's futures are looking bright from here on out. Twilight and Pinkie's are still ambigous, but I'm optimistic.

I'm very glad you enjoyed our story.
And I hope you also enjoy the bonus chapter and the sequel "Legends from the Dark Side of the Mirror"
Damn. Can't believe this is finished, too many loose ends that need to be tied up and I notice that the sequel is not finished. *sigh* great ride.
I don't like Applebloom. She really presses the wrong buttons on me.
I can very much sympathyze with Sweetie Belle and I like Scootaloo a lot. Nuff said I can say.
6680710 The sequel is actually out now.
I wonder how long it will take her to realize that she's not evil either...
She's good at painting, though.
Know how well Pinkie and Maud's relationship is in the other side of the mirror, seeing how they clash in this world saddens me...
... God, this version of Rainbow has serious self-esteem issue.
I really hope Starlight can help her.
Ok, references to Superman, and Discord's backstory reminds me of Spiderman: inaction costed him someaone dear. Cool chapter.
This Fluttershy is interesting to see, too.
