While some of the ideas are interesting, the entire thing is more a summary than an actual story, and extremely out of character. I get this is an alternate universe, but you could replace the names with any other and nothing would seem out of place. The only thing that seems in character is the idea of Twilight discovering a new atom.

Moreover, this is mistagged. It should be tagged Random at the very least, and Comedy probably too.

I'd thought it was tagged Random. That is now corrected.

I feel like it was pretty obvious that this wasn't meant to be "in character" for anyone.
This story is so bizarre, but the word play and absurdist humor are on point.
And this is whyyou don't make Discord your official biographer.
Wow. What.
This is amazing though.
So the series is flipped and reinterpreted as violent feuding among everyone. The wit in this is brilliant. And it has the beautiful air of a ruin. A short piratey life.
You and gravitons... Did you watch Peter Pan too many times as a kid?

When I was wandering, I carried 50-90 pounds in my pack, and carrying all that on your back makes you think a lot about gravity. Especially when you're spidermaning your way across the side of an ice wall above a 400 foot drop and the ice breaks, your feet are left free swinging and you are clinging for your life with just your eight fingers wedged into the glacier, supporting approximately 33 pounds of weight per finger while you struggle to kick new footholds into the ice. There is literally no justification for why I'm not dead yet.
Also, I just really like the idea of stealing or moving gravitons. It hits that perfect sweet spot of sciencey and stupid.
I'm glad you liked the mood. I wanted it to be a satire of warlords like Sun Ce, Alexander the Great, Charles the Bold, etc, who are famed for dying at the height of their brief, sparkling careers, but also to be the literal thing it satirizes. The stuff of history is not worthy of history and yet history continues to be written and continues to be worth reading as a fantasy of what could have been. That her army were stupid and didn't really know or care what they were doing was also part of that. Soldiers are, as a rule, cretins who are pointed in roughly the "right" direction and always either go too far or fall short of the objective.
I did want Rarity and Twilight to be seen as friends, since Rarity becomes what history will see as the Judas here. If Pony Dante also depicts Pony Satan as having three mouths with which to chew the three worst traitors forever, then Rarity will certainly be one of them. Yet she accepts that she is the villain because that makes Twilight the hero and she is happy to make that sacrifice to be part of the art of Twilight's short life.
