What if being an alicorn was considered being disabled? Or... is being an alicorn... treason?

This story, and the Kirin Chronicles as a whole, are being rewritten and published as a new story due to the size of the adjustments.

Part I of the Kirin Chronicles
-
It's Twilight Sparkle's coronation day. She's ready to go, all dolled up by Rarity, and the three Princesses await her okay on the spell. She nods. Their horns light, and a deep warmth spreads through her. She closes her eyes.

"Nn- Twilight!"

Her eyes open. Spike, running towards her. His claw brushes the magical aura surrounding her. A roll of thunder echoes, and he is thrown against the wall. The magic surrounding her rises in turmoil, battering and burning, and it's all she can do to stay awake. It ends with a snap, dropping her to the plush ground in a heap. The Princesses are crying, Spike is unconscious, and Twilight... Twilight is no longer a petty Unicorn.

But she's not much of an Alicorn either.

"Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them."—William Shakespeare.

This story is about the latter. Alan Williams, a man trying to take a peaceful camping trip, finds himself in Equestria. Forcing to accept the idea that the show he has watched is not, in fact, fictional has taken a massive toll on his brain, torn as he is between the awesomeness of the situation as well as it's absurdity. What's worse, it seems he is not the first human to be teleported to Equestria, and now he has some big shoes to fill.

Greatness follows.

Book 1 of the Harmony for All Trilogy

Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria, there were two regal sisters who ruled together, and created harmony for all the land.
Unfortunately, such a peace could not last forever. A feud arose between the two rulers and the kingdom was divided by more than just boundaries built in soil and on paper.

When Luna became jealous of her sister's glory in the eyes of ponies, she saw what it might lead to, coming to her sister for help. But, when scorned and pushed aside, Luna's jealousy became anger. In a fit of rage, she spirited herself and all of those under her rule, those that would follow, to her domain: The Moon.

A thousand years is a long time, though, to be holding a grudge. And now the means to mend an immortal's bond to her sibling rest in the hooves of one of Luna's subjects: Twilight Sparkle, who must descend from Luna's moon unto Solar Equestria to right a thousand-year-old wrong.

Rating subject to change pending future content.

This was it, the day Twilight became a full grown mare, and after a wild day of partying, she receives a note from the Princess, requesting that she comes to Canterlot to learn about an almost unheard of type of magic. But this type of magic feels...off to her, and she will come to find out what it really is, and why this magic has stayed a secret for so long.

In a freak accident from the Cloudsdale weather control team, Twilight is struck down by an errant lightning bolt. But the veil of death is relatively thin...

Would you ever sacrifice everything for someone you love? Would you sacrifice being with someone you love for the sake of someone else you love?
Celestia has loved her sister from the very beginning and the era of Nightmare moon hasn't changed a thing, sadly, the other ponies aren't so like-minded. Luna has returned from cities, towns and villages with rejection scarring her emotions to no end. Well enough is enough and Celestia has a plan to put Luna in their good books once and for all, but it will come at a great cost.

We all know the story of how the Princess’ young student and five friends defeated Nightmare Moon and brought Princess Luna back to our lands. But what if the tale were false? What if the young Twilight Sparkle on the event of her entrance exam had not been rescued by Princess Celestia, but instead lost her mind among the power of her youthful surge and had to be sent away, far away before she could destroy all of Canterlot with her newfound power. Now the feral unicorn prowling the Everfree Forest only vaguely remembers her past, slipping away from constant terrifying attempts to capture her.

And she is beginning to remember what true power felt like.

Twilight has always felt just a little uneasy about how others treat her, but after a tragedy befalls the Sparkle household, she reveals her greatest truth at the funeral.

Can her friends, family, and teacher comfort her this time?

No. 

...but when emotions are high and mistrust and confusion are rampant, is everything what it first appears?

When Wanderer D dies, he ends up looking at two incredibly large beings that will decide his fate.

What could that fate possibly be?!

If the fact that this is posted in a MLP:FIM story archive and it has ponies listed as characters doesn't give you a clue... wonder no more and just... read.

This story has been called a 'deconstruction of self-insert cliches'... I call it: 'I need therapy.'
