That sunny dome! those caves of ice! And all who heard should see them there, And all should cry, Beware! Beware!

Some stories I start on a whim, but they don't go anywhere. Sometimes I have an idea for a scene, but can't fit it into current projects.

Those scraps end up here. I have no further plans for any of this.

Very interesting little story here. I think this part probably intrigues me the most:

Shining Armor, the Alicorn of War.

5186842 I'm honestly convinced that, since Celestia has the power and ability to orchestrate Twilight's rise, she wouldn't leave Cadence with a mortal husband if she could help it. And, honestly, Shining's talent tend towards protection and peace, and for a just person, that's the goal of war.

It is not, maybe that's the goal for someone participating in it, but that's not the goal of war itself, there is no goal to war.
We make the goals and goalposts(or in this case Shining Armor), whether we reach them is another matter entirely.
I might not know where war evolved from, but it is probably the worst thing someone with a head too big for themselves came up with.
There is no positive side to it, ever.

nicely evocative of Lost Cites. Here's a link to explain a massive number of views.

Necromantic Twilight Sparkle, in an Equestria gone very badly wrong?

6268345 Oh, I was not expecting that.

...maybe I should actually edit the thing... nah.

Still, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for pointing me to the blog. I would have likely been confused.

6268380 More like an attempt to push 'immortal ennui' inside-out. I've got no backstory or setting for this. Your interpretation works just fine.

This was a really clever reversal of the typical "Lost cities-esque" fanfic. Great work!

Not what I expected from a Lost Cities inversion, but it's still great! :D

Huh. Didn't go anywhere, but it's a strong setup regardless.

It took me a while to realize that was not Princess Ember, because she didn't exist when this was written! XD Wow.
