The great Archotechs, bored with the machinations of the universe, found a new source of amusement.
Tossed into the lion's pit, Twilight Sparkle will have to put every lesson she learned to use. The Rimworlds are dangerous places, this even more so than the others. Can one clever pony survive unbroken in such a place? Thru the onslaught of the cruel game master Winston Waves?

Luckily, she isn't alone, and as they say:
Friendship is magic, even on the Rim.

In an ancient civilization that started long before Equestria, there were many hidden dangers. During the 2020th year of the Yue Liang dynasty, Emperor Xin and his Empress gave birth to a beautiful filly, the 9th princess. Unfortunately, due to her birth mother's jealousy and hatred, her life became built upon one lie, and every next step she takes will always be based on that lie.

As she grows up, unfortunate events kept appearing, and the disputes and schemes in the palace were more apparent. With her loved ones in danger, she is forced to mature, but will she really be able to protect those dear to her in a prison full of sly poisonous snakes?

Deep in the inner palace, screams of pain punctuated through one spacious hall even when the sun was at its highest, and even when those screams became faint, no other alicorn thought to help. This was the circumstance in which the 11th princess of the Yue Liang dynasty was born into, a palace filled with solitude and emptiness, something that would follow her as a shadow in her life.

How will these two princesses, Huang Shu Tian (Celestia) and Huang Ying Yue (Luna) survive in such an accursed place?

In a lot of Hie fics, it is said that what makes humans so powerful is their adaptability, their originality, their ability to spin even the worst situations to their advantage. If that is the case, then what happens when you stick four of the most resourceful, cantankerous, adaptable and wily in a nation of ponies already shaken by an impersonator who almost offed a Princess at her own wedding? And will the trio of thieves and overzealous inspector bring more harm than good? More importantly is it only the four of them that happened to come through.......

Note:
I wrote this fic mostly because I wanted to write something fun and nice instead of grim and sad, this isn't to say that there won't be sad moments just that it'll be balanced by other stuff. This is also just as much of a Lupin III fic as it is a MLP fanfic, so some familiarity with the characters is expected of the readers. Also contains GoeShy.

At the end of the world, a programmer struggles with his need to be something other than Pony. Can he spar with an intelligence that goes beyond the sum total of Humankind, for the sake of fulfilling a weird quirk of self-identity?

Some rules within a machine are more like guidelines. And others are based on the definitions of words. Can semantics be a weapon big enough to give a Human mind a chance at one small request from a goddess?

Set in the Optimalverse - I recommend reading Iceman's awesome original first if you haven't - More because it is a really excellent story than because it is strictly necessary for context. I have endeavoured to make this story stand well enough without context as well. But that being said? You'll probably enjoy it more if you know the context better.

Cannon-compatible with the Optimalverse to the best of my knowledge and abilities.

Cover-art generated with an image generative A.I., appropriately enough, graciously generated and composited (it takes skill to get something this spot-on!) by Keystone Gray.

Similarly you'll find many AI-generated illustrations throughout, again graciously generated in collaboration with Keystone Gray, then a little final photoshopping and other processing from us both.

The Twin Monarchies of Equestria is flourishing, growing strong economically and ideologically. They have allies and puppet states strung all about the world, and their enemies lay defeated or dead.

But a new opponent, crossing dimensional borders, shall arise. The Prussians, having conquered almost their entire planet, grow hungry for more rivals. Through the sacrifice of many howitzers, a portal opened in the North Sea, permitting the travel of ships to a strange new world…

I got the idea for this following a campaign of Empire Total War, playing as Prussia and abusing Howitzers to take almost everywhere by 1787.

Exactly what you saw earlier when you clicked on the short description.
