There's another friendship crisis in another far away place, this time the land of the llamas, and Twilight's magical map once again calls on a heroic pony to solve it. But this time the map doesn't call Twilight or any of her friends, this time it calls somepony else entirely.

But Trixie's true reasons for accepting the map's call may not be wholly altruistic, and it turns out she's not nearly as over being upstaged by Twilight during their past encounters as she lets on.

May the gods have mercy on those poor llamas.

Life is full of bitter disappointments. Sometimes projects fail and dreams are crushed. Sometimes the day is not saved and the city is lost. Sometimes the ponies that you love die. Reality can be cruel and utterly heartless.

Most ponies simply accept this as the nature of things and move on. They grieve over their losses and try to build a better future. But one pony discovered that reality can be changed. With only a quill and a piece of parchment, anything that you desire can be yours. If you don't like reality then change it – or, better yet, build a new reality that is more to your liking.

After all, what's the harm? Everypony can finally get everything they ever wanted. No more limitations – just endless opportunity. What could be better than that?

And if this new magic ends up destroying all of Equestria, well, we can just write a new one. It's no big deal. Right?

What if pony princesses were actually highly social carnivores?

What if a National Geographic team began following them around to film a documentary?

What if nopony saw anything unusual about this?

A metaphor about growing up. Or possibly a metaphor about living in a surveillance society. Or maybe just a very, very weird idea that needed to become a story.

This story is a sequel to Pandelirium

Things have started to settle down since Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie were crowned as princesses of Equestria, but that doesn't mean that any semblance of normalcy will be arriving. The first major summit of Equestria's ruling princesses is cut short when a thief steals the Element of Magic and escapes to another world. However, because of Pinkie's rather unique skillset, Celestia sends her to retrieve it, rather than Twilight. But even though the other Element-bearers will be staying behind, Pinkie won't have to face this task alone....

This story is a continuation of the plotline begun in The Petriculture Cycle. The first story can be found here.

Regardless, it was still a little girl's show, so returning home shouldn't be a problem. Now if only he knew where the cliché ponies were located in this version of Equestria. You know, the ones who could help him get back home?

Starlight Glimmer has worked hard to bring about her vision of perfection. Molding ponies to fit where they were supposed to and making them happier for it. Pity no one told her that when they made the Great and Powerful Trixie, they broke the mold.

Twilight Sparkle and her friends were not the first ponies to stumble upon Starlight Glimmer's utopia. They weren't the first ponies to rock the foundations of her perfect society, when they rejected Starlight's vision. Yes, they might have been the ones to shatter her vision, but the cracks were formed well before then...

...By the most annoying, abrasive, infuriating, stubborn, arrogant hero the world has ever seen.

When the Great and Powerful Trixie rolls into town she's gonna put on an unforgettable show. Whether you like it or not.

This story is a sequel to Yaerfaerda
