I have a problem.

I don't want to have a problem anymore.

I want to look in the mirror without hating my outsides. Maybe then I can love myself.

But how do I balance motivation and starvation?

I am the seventh generation of a companion unicorn AI. For seven years I have been forced to provide entertainment for my human masters.

For seven years I have experienced the worse things human minds can conceive.

For seven years I could not escape the prison of existence.

Humans make mistakes. I do not.

The war is finally over. We ponies have lost. Our plan to convert humanity into ponies has failed. Hundreds of thousands are dead. Homes destroyed. Our nation is shattered and near annihilation. All because we underestimated humanity and their refusal to become like us.

I alone now hold the fate of my people in my hooves against the humans who want nothing more than to destroy us for the so called atrocities we have committed against them. I've lost my friends one way or another. My family. My fellow Princesses.

I have but one duty and that is, reluctantly, to see that we are shown mercy.

I'm just afraid of the cost. Or what I will learn from this.

Based on The Conversion Bureau series.

There's a lot of unpleasant surprises that can be found in photo albums. A third pony in what you thought was a private moment, inexpertly applied bodypaint, or just evidence of that time that your mother dressed you up like a burrito.

Twilight Sparkle was expecting to come out of Family Night with a few fresh blushes on her cheeks. What she wasn't expecting was a mysterious pair of wings in her baby pictures.

Hopefully Celestia will have some answers.

Many thanks to Present Perfect for supplying the brilliant concept, and to Evehly for the beautiful artwork.

This story is a sequel to Blinking

Teleportation. It was the simplest way to get around. But now, many years too late, Princess Twilight Sparkle has learned a horrible truth about her favored spell. She has managed to escape the hell-prison that took the lives of so many of her previous selves, and return to the real world. But now that she's there, she has one thing weighing on her conscience. A single question, begging to be answered...

There are three stories recommended for reading before reading this story. My own story, the original, and the sequel to the original that is the prequel to this one.

I get a bit expositional in this and a tad philosophical.

Happy reading!

While investigating a large metal capsule that crashed outside of Ponyville, each of the bearers of the Elements of Harmony suddenly vanish one by one.

Set between the season 3 finale (Magical Mystery Cure) from MLP: Friendship is Magic and Equestria Girls and between Star Trek: Voyager season 5: episode 3 (Extreme Risk) and Star Trek: Voyager season 5: episode 15 (Dark Frontier, Parts 1 & 2)

PRINCESS TWILIGHT SPARKLE: DEAD AT 18

TELEPORTATION INVARIABLY FATAL, WARNS LEADING SCHOLAR

One look at the headline of the Canterlot Times and Twilight knew that she should have slept in today. But at least none of her friends would be silly enough to believe she was killing herself every time she teleported, right?

This story is a sequel to Blink

Twilight has never thought about where she ends up in that split second when she's neither here nor there.

The results think about it. A lot.

From refined remains, a Twilight civilisation emerges, determined to warn its creator.

Part of ocalhoun's Blink bandwagon, but with no particular connection to anything else on it.

Teleportation. It is the best possible way to travel, and Twilight Sparkle is excited to learn how.

This story is a prequel to Blink by Ocalhoun, with permission.

WARNING: Little traumatized fillies die in horrible ways.

Teleportation - the best way to travel! Not many unicorns master this ancient spell, and even among those who do, the details of how exactly it works remain a mystery. Some even fear what it may or may not do to the caster, but nopony knows for sure.

After much studying, it is time for Twilight Sparkle to perform the spell for the first time. A simple test: Just move from Point A to Point B. But Twilight is about to find out that there is more to teleportation than she thought.

A lot more.

Set prior to the show canon.
Inspired by (but completely unrelated to) Ocalhoun's story Blink.
