Twilight wakes up with a serious head-ache caused by her horn spontaneously growing due to a sudden increase in her magical power. Nopony seems to have an answer for it, but it has attracted the attention of an unusually powerful militant foreign nation intent on her capture and execution. When a string of events lands Twilight before Celestia's father himself he tasks her and her newfound magic with tying up some loose ends he'd left behind long ago, ultimately connecting with this foreign nation's goals. With their powerful enemy baring down on Equestria, intent on taking it in a stranglehold, Twilight and her friends have little other choice than to travel the world and hunt for the rest of Celestia's family and end several thousands of years worth of feuding to prevent the war coming to Equestria before they themselves are caught.

Ech is a whiny bitch, but he helped edit a little I guess. (you too bats)
Cool. Hopefully we get some updates for this too. It's nice to see this somewhere other than fanfiction.net!
Awww yeah Peroth, finally you put it up on fimfic.
YES!! Time to reread!!
It comes!
*Insert Twilight Yes Dance Here*
Son of a bitch how long have you people been waiting for me?
I see this is a modified version from what I last read, looking forward to seeing what else has changed (if anything) in the later chapters.

Way too long!
As a hint, stories only move up the list to show up under updates once a day. If you were intending to release in a manner to maximize exposure.

Pardon? I'm not sure I understand. As in: if I update twice in 24 hours it won't pop up again in the second update?
267537
It is either that or so abitrary time that the site counts as a new day. (not sure, and the site's faq does not say anything other than 'once a day').
But if it is too soon then it will not pop up as updated even though the new chapter is availible.
I saw this get posted on this site and my brain went
"Impossible..."
Now that I have read the description, this matches up with the story on FF.net and my brain exploded.
I had all but given up on that story being dead, and seeing it here renews my faith and made my butt hole explode in happiness.
All i can say is
yay
*Throws up in the air*
FINALLY! Took ya long enough to put it here
Wow! It's finally up here!
This was one of the first MLP fics I ever read, and influenced me to start writing about this wonderful show! I thank you good sir, for this amazing fic!
Oh GP is here, great!
This is one of my favorite Fanfics.
Laputa shall rise again!
SWEET CELESTIA'S BEARD, IT'S HERE.
*hyperactive bouncing*
Favorite. Story. Ever. Considering there are nearly 2000 stories on my Fanfiction.net favorites list, and some 250 more being tracked here on FimFic, that's seriously saying something. MY FONDNESS FOR THIS STORY IS SURPASSED ONLY BY MY IMPATIENCE FOR EACH NEW CHAPTER IN IT.
Seriously though, Peroth, you need to submit this to EQD. The pre-readers are strict, but I find they respond surprisingly well to threats of death and/or gleeful maiming.

'd when I saw the alert in my inbox.
He recently updated on Fanfiction.net, saying that he would most likely be posting chapter 23 sometime around the third of March. I will not lie, I
Growing Pains is already up on Equestria Daily.
270416 I just looked on Equestria Daily, there are 2 stories called Growing Pains there
Finally I have been waiting to see this Fanfiction posted here. If anyone is debating about reading this story I highly recomend it. This story is well written and has excellent pacing with good humor and creative characters. I would like to know if you based the jester pony Cloppin on anything or if you happened to be inspired by any other characters.
Random comment to let you know that while I have read this already, I am giving your story the view counts
Just wanting to know: Is the "Romance" tag there on accident? Because I looked on EqD and on Fanfiction.net, and neither of them have the shipping tag like this one does.
I'm halfway through chapter 11 as I'm saying this, so I haven't read all that's been posted yet.
282338
There is shipping later on, but since it is fairly minor so far I would say there just has not been enough reason to change it elsewhere (and shipping seems to be disliked on EqD, at least the ships I like do).
So glad to see more of this making it here! And now its getting to the crazy stuff too! Wheeee!
282362
Ah, alright. That was actually one of the reasons I started reading this.
266345 FOREVER! I can wait and have for forever for more chapters!
Woot i am so happy to find this here it was starting to get hard to find on fanfiction.net
291366
And so it will. There are as of today 24 chapters of this on fanfiction.net. And it keeps getting better. But if you stick to here then your productivity will not be destroyed all at once.
Either this or Backwards Through the Mirror is the fan fic I have re-read the most.
She's an empirical traitor? An experimental traitor? Probably mean imperial, "of the Empire."
I have no idea what these ponies want, or why they're searching for Laputa of all places, though if I had to venture a guess I'd say they're looking for that ultimate energy source that powers the Castle in the Sky.
Excited to see where you're taking this!
Why don't you just upload every chapter here?
I already read everything you have on fanfiction but i do prefer to read on this site :)
good story up to this point. I only notice a few grammar/spelling errors but nothing that realy breaks the story.

Exposure. Uploading one chapter at a time means the story shows up in the updated stories list more often.
This gives more chances at catching new readers.
303195
If you look at it that way i understand.
I'll just read it on fanfiction then :)
266345 since october or something like that
blah blah blah hurry up to the current chapter
Love this story. Needs more love.
"Teller Pen"? Really? Would he have grown up to be a stage magician? [/sarcasm]
I'll admit to not having seen Castle in the Sky but once, some years ago, so I don't remember what the secret of Laputa was, other than a power source that the baddie wanted to harness for a bomb. I'll be waiting to see what Dashie and Twi find when they get there.

@Blik
Actually, no. Professional wrestler.
315534 Wait. So you didn't get his name from Penn and Teller, magicians in Las Vegas?
315558
@Blik
Err, no. I wasn't even aware of them. Quite interesting.
definitely love this chapter so much... makes me want to read more.
I remember first reading that final scene. I was like, "Huh? Wait- … Ooh, you clever, you! Where's my goddamned slow-clap processor?!"
Twilight and Dash playing is really cute.
Random comment to let you know I'm giving you the view count (already read on fanfic
)
319215 But yeah... one of my favorite scenes of the series
Woah!
Good storytelling. Bravo.
This is the very first fan fiction that I have ever read, and it also by far at the utmost peak of my favourites. That being said, I also need to mention that even having read this before on fanfiction.net, this is probably one of my most favourite chapters so far.
The six Dashes all awkwardly bowed before the sphere.
...my manners aren’t really up to par either...
...I began to feel that [blood] was a part of me.
"I never changed back,” [comma,] He admitted quietly...
[They] ended in the shapes of pony heads, the openings being gaping mouths. (might consider reworking this description.)
The coral heads had faces twisted in agony...
"I have been waiting for a long, long time for somepony as moral and powerful as you to come by." To 'come by'? Overly casual language that doesn't fit Anemone's mood, in my opinion. If that was a conscious choice, ignore me.
"Do you understand, [comma,] Twilight?”
"The creatures I made will come to life." (no had)
"Your morals, your mind, and your heart are strong..."
All the Dashes launched to their feet as they heard a loud gasp...
(Dashes is the plural of Dash. Dash's is the possessive, for Dash's belongings.)
To be able to split herself into six! Reminds me of that one episode of the Magic School Bus. Pranking opportunities aside, this will be supremely useful in surveillance and in battle. One thing wasn't clear to me, though. Can she recall factions of herself long-distance? Or does there have to be physical contact to reassimilate portions of herself? Yellow and Purple were switching back and forth, without any physical contact. So if Green is out spying, and gets captured, can she be recalled? And if she's hit over the head with a bludgeon, does Blue feel it?
*Sees Dragon riders*
AJ: "Awww, son of a..."
*Earthquakes*
PP: "What the..."
*World goes batshit insane around AJ and Pinkie*
Both: "Damn."
All I can say is... YES! Second on my most favourite chapters list right here!
“… Uh?”
All that need to be said about Twilight owning a flying castle.
Wanna know why I love this story? It took 100k words to find out what the plot is (kinda)
I'm just glad Cloppin is dead.
Now we are getting into the really funny part of the story.
