Fire.
Panic in the streets.
Canterlot lies in rubble and ruins, the citizenry in chains.
Calamity has come to Equestria.

But that's none of Derpy Hooves' concern. Leave that mess for the Heroes to deal with (they always win in the end, right?). Besides, she's got her own problems to deal with. Problems that take the form of a very tall and intimidating figure engaged in a very one-sided affection.

Interesting story but, "Entry for the May Pairings 2022 Contest.
Cover art provided by Mutter_Butter"

A. There is no cover art, and B., Isn't it the May Parings 2023 contest, not 2022? https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/1013210/may-pairing-contest-2023

Whoops. Thanks for catching that. I copy and pasted directly from another fic since making hyperlinks is always so fiddly. Should be good now.

Huh, there's a new one, ol' Stormy genuinely being unaware of Equestria's real scale. I wonder how that redefinition of circumstances affected the fallout with Tempest.

Haha, you are welcome! Don't forget the cover art!

If she had a gold bit for every time Ponyville was conquered by a crazy magic tyrant, she'd have five bits, which wasn’t a lot but it was weird to see it happen in Canterlot.

Incredible.

Some of these other lines are also peak comedy.

Now that is an amazing last line.

And yet here he was. Her mail-order husband, some assembly required.

Dr. Whoopsie Daisy’s all-purpose superglue.

Drider, don't ever change.

...except it only crumbled off her head, leaving the rest of her body still stoned and balanced awkwardly on two legs.

That must be very awkward to wake up

The other option, and the more likely one, was that Twilight Sparkle and her friends would show up in a few days and dethrone him like they usually did when this sort of thing happened.

Yep and that's pretty much door number two but she's correct Twilight and the others really did save the day long side with the other creatures

Well this is a very interesting one here so apparently Derpy took the hit when fizzle pop trying to petrified Twilight later it looks like the stone prison that Derpy was in un froze her but only the head so she's still kind of stuck but she saw him the Storm King the one who started this crazy chaos but apparently she's starting to fall for him so she's trying to talk with him to get to know him but unfortunately he's not interested but it looks like Derpy is not giving up

I'm curiously terrified wondering about the amount of rule 34 artwork this story generated.

I love Derpy, and she's totally on brand here. And Storm King actually feels like more of a character here than in the movie itself.

As I write this I'm hoping there is/will be a sequel showing what happens next. A really fun story!

(There's a joke running around in my head about hoping Derpy gets that special delivery to her mailbox, but I'll leave that alone for now).

I'm curiously terrified wondering about the amount of rule 34 artwork this story generated.

Given that the current viewcount is comfortably sitting at a hair over 100 views, I'd wager not much (unless this is your version of asking for permission, in which case go for it. Knock yourself out!)

And I'm glad you enjoyed it. Storm King did a bit more fleshing out because I rewatched the movie to try and accurately capture him, but it turned out he only has a few minutes of actual screen time (and not a lot of it speaking).

A fantastic story!

This is amazing.

Thedriderpony will you make a sequel for this story when the storm king wakes up in derpys home and keeps him prisoner there
