Sharing the joy – Alicorn style by NachoTheBrony
*****************************************
As she returned home from Scootaloo’s place, Twilight would have wanted to flutter in happiness: she had finally answered the prompt from the former CMC to find or create a spell to let each other feel the unique sensations of having a unicorn’s horn, a pegasus wings and an Earth pony’s hooves. At first, she had thought of teaching Sweety Bell how to cast a sensation-sharing spell, but she had then discarded the idea in favour of a brainwave she had suddenly had.
It had then taken her two months to develop the spell, one more to make it self-reversible and two more to experiment until she could deem it perfectly safe. And today she had finally cast it on the former CMC, and had left them to enjoy the shared experience with their coltfriend Featherweight.
It might not have been the best idea to cast it on three full-sized ponies during daytime, as even her baseline Alicorn magic had been taxed, but the young herd had been so overjoyed! She would have wanted to be currently skipping or fluttering home, but she was just too tired…
Now, it would only take a little fiddling with schedules…
(Six days later, just before dusk)
Twilight just couldn’t stop walking around the living room, while Lero and Lyra looked at her with concern: she needed to cast the spell during her afternoon high (just after dusk), and they were cutting it awfully close, and Rainbow wasn’t here yet!
Ten minutes later, Twilight felt her body grow as she became fully empowered and knew the opportunity was lost until the next time Rainbow could get a leave. Her power peak only lasted between four and six minutes, after all!
It was exactly ninety five seconds later when the deadlock on the front door chose to slide open. Not wasting another second, Twilight used her telekinesis to rip off the handle and grab a surprised Rainbow from beyond and pull her inside, depositing her on the couch by a surprised Lyra. One hundred seconds!
“Now girls, I really wanted to explain this spell before casting it, but I only have some two more minutes left of my power peak before its lost, and I really wanted to make this work tonight! Remember that secret research I have been working on these past few months? It was a significant upgrade on the sensation-sharing spell, but I haven’t yet found out how to cast it on myself, and as Lero’s body refracts magic, it has to be between only the two of you. Now girls, can you trust in me for a second?”
Her herd-sisters shared an uncertain look for a second (after all, Twilight was quite intimidating when she was fully empowered), but then shared a nod.
“Always, Twilight!” Lyra said.
“I trust you with my life, Twi!” Rainbow said.
“I won’t disappoint you, girls,” Twilight replied, as she started gathering her power. One hundred and fifty seconds!
“I’ll be closing the door,” Lero said, jumping from the couch and out of the room.
“Sorry,” Twilight stage-whispered as her cheeks coloured, but she remained concentrated.
“Girls, please stand side by side, pressing together.” One hundred and fifty-nine seconds!
“Rainbow: place your wing over Lyra’s back. And girls: try to synchronize your breathing.”
Her herd sisters shared a sideways look, but then started inhaling and exhaling in unison.
At the second two hundred and sixteen, Twilight finally reached the accumulated power level necessary to cast the spell instantaneously and offered one last commentary.
“This may feel weird for a second, but just close your eyes, keep immobile and keep concentrating on your breathing. Everything’s going to be fine, and the spell will self reverse in a few hours.”
She then pointed down her horn, and let the spell out.
Lyra and Rainbow disintegrated into a luminous mist, but this quickly congealed into a single aquamarine pony with an emerald horn and sky-blue wings, and a mane and tail looking like a green-filtered rainbow.
And just then, Twilight’s peak passed and she rapidly shrunk back to her normal body.
She looked at Lero, who had been silently overlooking from the foyer. She smiled mischievously at him and gestured him to remain silent. She then produced a rolled bandage and moved it over her currently fused herd sisters.
“Now I’m going to cover your eyes and cast a no-speaking spell on your throats,” she said, as the bandage began unrolling itself and she fired a tickling spell at their throat. “…And then I’m going to give Rainbow her very first horn job while our darling Lero takes Lyra aside and shows her just how good his hands feel on a mare’s wings.”
Twilight then shot a mind-link spell at Lero, then told him “You don’t touch me, I don’t touch you, and lets see how long until they figure it out!”
Lero’s reply was a very naughty grin.
It took Lyra and Rainbow almost an hour before one of them forgot about the no-speech spell, which conducted them to remove the bandage and notice what had Twilight done. Not that them were going to protest while they were being attacked so intensely and from every possible angle, leaving them so overwhelmed that they could hardly focus their eyes.
As usual, Twilight was woken up by her power-up during the few minutes before dawn.
She noticed that Rainbow and Lyra had popped apart during the night, as expected.
Feeling her own power, she had an idea. She quickly shock them awake and asked them if they wanted to be merged again.
Their grins were answer enough, but they then put her in a tight spot when they waited for her to build up the power to then come and press themselves into her sides.
Later, Lero woke up to having only one wife.
It took them a week to figure out how to reverse the spell, but that was a very good week.
Well then ^v^.
For some reason, I pictured them with a mottled coat, not aquamarine. And then, the first thing to come to my mind after that, was neapolitan icecream.
I have no idea were that came from.
We are UNITY!
Giggity.
Freaky shit.
And I smell Dragon Ball in the air.... *sniff, sniff.*
Pretty cool. I wonder what they would have called a Lyra/Rainbow Alicorn. Maybe Lyra Dash, or Rainbow Heartstrings? And what about the Merge with Twilight?
This was great, though I'd love to see a longer, more descriptive version, maybe from Rainbow and Lyra's points-of view.
Now time to try and make a centaur.
I wonder if they might leave bits of themselves behind - skills, thought-patterns and memories specifically.
Magic...? Well, too often it does what you ask it to do, not necessarily what you think you want it to do.
So, does this mean the Crusaders can be fused into a single quasi-unicorn? Powerpuff DyNaMo comes to mind...
An alicorn still way master who is also a student of several pegasus AND earth pony martial art styles.
Do I sense the creation of a new Equestrian Superhero?
Why the heck do people writing these little tales keep insisting that Lero is magic-resistant or has weird effects on spells? In the actual Xenoverse, Lero was affected by magic the same exact way any other pony or object would be. No resistance, no refraction, no nothing.

If I remember correctly, one of the two original stories includes something about Twilight and Luna having great difficulty on transmogrifying Lero into a pony. I think it picked up from there.
And yes, Twilight is also capable of applying a cloud-walking spell on him. If I remember correctly, on Sonic Rainboom it is stated that the spell has a normal endurance of three days. Why does Twilight need to keep reapplying it twice a day on Lero, then?
Otherwise, the reason is fanon momentum, where humans can have a whole range of reactions to magic: from the completely predictable (where humans are affected by magic just like they where Equestria-born), to the unreactive (like the story "Article 2", where the human nearly dies because healing magic pretty much slides through his body).

Actually, I saw them as barely capable of coordinating their movements enough to focus their eyes, let alone be a grand anything.
wow o.0 pretty awesome! xD
2659829 Neigh, that is what those of us in the know call a Mare E. Sue.
Not sure I'm familiar with that character... do you perhaps mean "Sweet[ie] Bell[e]?"
Oh my! They grow up so fast
Pfff. When Twilight 'experiments in the bedroom', she sure take it to extremes
3004679 Hey, that's Mare Equestria you're talking about. Captain America's horse ain't got nothin' on good ol' Sue.
