I've seen someone else do this. this is to help me keep my brain clear so i can write the stories i currently really WANT to write, while sharing ideas with you all that constantly plague my brain and distract me.
*ahem*
In an alternate timeline, the prophesy of nightmare moon's return has been on course for nearly a thousand years, Princess Celestia gave land to a family of earth farmers to put a pony town near the edge of the everfree, and thigns are slowly working themselves towards destiny. Then, one day, she starts getting a strange feeling coming from the direction of the palace statue garden. after a while, she goes to investigate, and finds that there's a tiny, infinitesimal crack in the magical prison holding discord. she goes to investigate, and gets sucked into a dreamworld with him. Rather than the draconequus attacking her in some heinous plot to eliminate her and take over, he instead tells her that her precious prophesy has just been de-railed, in that one of the souls needed to use the elements of harmony has jsut been prevented from being concieved, much less born. when celestia asks why he's trying to help him, he responds by telling her "Oh, my dear celestia, Chaos is the antithesis of order, and order, as you know, is 'a place for everything, and every thing in it's place. and if your sister comes back unchecked, everything WILL have a place, and be in it for the rest of eternity as the ENTIRE WORLD FREEZES SOLID!"
Once she exits the dream, Celestia gets on the case of tracking down the ponies that were supposed to have given birth to the soul of one of the aspects of harmony, and finds them, only to learn that due to a carriage accident, the female has been left infertile, just as they were planning on having their second child. In desperation, Celestia offers to help them have a child using an ancient surrogacy spell, using herself as the surrogate mother, not wanting any other pony to make a sacrifice to help save her own sister. 11 months come and go, and the princess' royal belly increases dramatically, before finally the time comes for her to give birth, the two parents who offered fragments of their souls in the cration of this foal are there as celestia delivers a beautiful, healthy foal with a purple coat, a straight, spiraled horn... and a pair of wings.
Royal law decrees that this foal, a born alicorn, is to be royalty. And surrogacy spell or not, this is obviously Celestia's daughter. Celestia insists the 'soul parents' have an involvement in the new princess' life, and takes the, and their son into the castle and grants them a title, but for all that, celestia herself falls irreversibly in love with the little filly she now calls her daughter, and raises her darling Twilight more or less by herself, teaching her everything she knows.
And then, on her daughter's twenty-first birthday, she tells her daughter she's to have her first set of royal duties, in helping to prepare for the summer sun festival in a little town, just down off the mountain...
So yeah, basically a full on literal 'Momlestia' with a 'natural born alicorn-twilight' story. like there aren't a million of those.
I'd read it.
