Years after her final defeat, Chrysalis finds herself freed from her stone prison, yet is now trapped in the form of a creature she despises most of all. Lost, alone, and without her hive or allies, she struggles to adapt to her new circumstances leading her towards twin doctors. Now given a new way to live, will Chrysalis change into something better? Or remain the same villain she always has been?

Have you ever felt like you didn't really belong? Like no matter how hard you tried you'd never be able to fit in anywhere? After I lost the Memory Stone, Sunset and her friends told me I could finally have people around that cared, but I should have known better. Nothing was ever really going to change. I was always going to be cursed to a lifetime of being ignored and forgotten...

I was never going to be anyone but the odd one out.

The year is 22xx and virtual and augmented reality have come a long way to the point of even with a modest set up anyone can enjoy it. All you need is a computer and a special set of glasses. With VAR computers are capable of taking any image or video and in real time extrapolate a fully 3 dimensional view through the glasses allowing people to quite literally be a ghostly observer of their favorite movies or TV shows.

Thomas an avid collector of old forms of media from the 20th and 21st centuries manages to get a hold of a rare set of master discs for the animated series My little pony Friendship is magic. He decides to run it though the augmented reality program and watch it for the first time as if he was there. Things quickly take a turn for the weird. Will he hurt or help those around him, only time will tell.

*Edit* Added the sex tag to this. There's nothing explicit nor anything actually happening, but since I mentioned it if figured I'd have to add the tag.

As a beta tester, Twilight thinks she's relatively safe in SAO. She knows what she's doing. Until the lead developer basically sentences ten thousand people to death, tearing families apart and probably giving a bunch of people PTSD. But they get to play a cool game, so hey, that's nice.

Quick Wits always wanted to join the royal guard ever since the first time he went on a trip to the royal training grounds back when he was just a young colt still in school. Unlike most, he wants to join the Night Guard.

All know the story of the pirate ship, the Crimson Heart and her cursed captain, a monster forced to haunt the seven seas until the end of time. All know to steer clear of the blood red sails, lest they run into hell itself.

Few know of Neptune's Blessing, a magical item that can grant whoever holds it anything their heart desires.

Twilight Sparkle knows both tales are not fiction. Though the last place she thought she'd ever be is on the Crimson Heart looking for Neptune's Throne where the wish awaits.

Sunset Shimmer lives a nightmare every day. She's ready to shed her monstrous form, and Twilight is going to help her one way or another.

But they aren't the only ones after Neptune's Blessing. The high-speed race across the seas begins as every flag seeks to claim the wish for themselves, and be crowned King of the Seas.
