Contains spoilers for For the Good of Equestria
In this alternate scenario, Celestia cannot save Luna from the Crystal Empire--and the price of failure is worse than either of them could have imagined.
Now Equestria is ruled by a family of warring alicorns, kept only from each others' throats by the fear of their own destruction.
But what happens when someone is mad enough to try and topple the house of cards?

Oh gods no...
You might want a tragedy tag for this if I think this is going to go where it will...
She's a bit of a Cassandra prophet, no?
Underrated fic! It's not easy to do short chapters, especially when one of the POVs is stream of consciousness and have things still be well paced and coherent. But this was a convincing world of instability and cruelty that would have happened if Sombra won.
Oh.
Oh boy.
I approve greatly of this ending.
So, your latest story made me think of this one again. Honestly, To Be Kind feels like the start of a cruel-world spiral that could evolve into something like this, though it would likely be more of a gradual descent. (There's also other tags you can use for some of the other subjects in the story like violence and non-con that I would probably suggest adding.)

Excellent point re: tags. I don't think they had those when I first posted this one...
