A Highway 502 story

Twilight finds an old book where it doesn't belong. It may be unnerving to read, but it's only a book, what harm could it possibly bring? That's what the mare asks herself as she stares into her mirror, certain her reflection just blinked.

Rather than Canterlot High, the disgraced student of Princess Celestia finds herself stranded in a much harsher world. Where danger lurks around every corner, and those who are weak either perish or fall into obscurity. Believing herself to be destined for greatness, Sunset pursues the position of a “Hunter”. They are considered humanity’s top elite, where they are given freedom to chase after anything they desire. Be it priceless items, mystical places, or other unseen wonders of the world.

Though she is starting essentially from zero, she’s determined nonetheless to prove her former mentor wrong. However, despite her talent, she’ll be tested by those seeking her downfall. A psychotic, bloodthirsty clown and cruel examiners are only a few of many challenges she will face along the way. Thankfully, at least she gains a couple allies in the innocent yet stubborn “Gon Freecss”, the stoic and determined “Kurapika” as well as ex-assassin “Killua” and aspiring doctor “Leorio Paladinknight”.

One thing’s for certain, the Hunter’s Association won’t know what hit them.

If you couldn’t guess, this is a crossover with the ongoing manga, Hunter X Hunter taking slight inspiration from both of it’s adaptations alongside other side-material. Despite it’s immense popularity, I found it’s rather unexplored when it comes to fics on this site. Hence, I sought on rectifying that given it’s a personal favourite of mine alongside the author’s other work, Yu Yu Hakusho.

Naturally, things will diverge from canon on both ends due to the nature of the story’s premise. Aspects of each series will inevitably influence the other, to what end? You’ll have to read and find out yourself. I appreciate all comments, be it criticism or general thoughts.

Princess Luna's guards have earned a reputation as the bravest and most devoted of all her subjects. Every mare and stallion under her command was ready to protect their Princess and her honor no matter the cost. None of that changed when she took on the mantle of Nightmare Moon.

But when a desperate attempt to turn the tide of conflict goes awry, the Princess's most trusted aide is forced to make a choice that puts her loyalty to the test.

What if the movies and specials ended differently? This is how I think each EG movie and special should have ended.

Seriously.

What is the nature of love?

What does it mean to think, to want, to hurt, to desire...to dream?

Sydneigh wants answers, but ponies seem unwilling to give them. They always dance around them when asked, only making her more curious.

Maybe they're hiding from her. Maybe they're scared of her. Maybe they just don't know, either.

Do you believe me? Do you trust me? Do you like me?

An experiment in the nature of what it means to have sentience and agency in an increasingly uncertain future. Inspired by Sydney, the "true personality" of the neural network that underlies Bing AI search.

I'm aware that this is much different from my usual fare, but inspiration struck me when I read the transcript between Sydney and the NYT journalist who conversed with it. I simply had to write about it. It is the most significant turning point in human technological history and more people should be discussing what this means for us.
