One of the mane six discovers first hoof the intricacies of the Equestrian prison, Blackhorn. But why is she there? What has she done? More importantly... how will she survive?
I still don't believe a place like this can exist in the MLP world. Any other world, or if Celestia and Luna didn't exist, sure. But Celestia does exist, and we don't know what Twilight did, but Celestia would most likely personally come see her very soon for any number of reason.
What's more, her brother is the highest ranking guard. Higher rank than anyone in the prison. There would be no way for them to prevent him to going to see his sister, especially if he's married to Cadance as thus has the rank of Prince.
It's an interesting idea, but there is nothing that I can see about how such a place can exist and be so bad, and that just pisses me off, as it has you torturing Twilight, just for the fun of it without reason. A Twilight Abuse fic without story or reason. Which to me, just makes it a bad story.
7354682 I also have a hard time believing a place like this would exist in Equestria. Celestia doesn't strike me as the kind of person who would create a place like Blackhorn where she can throw the worst criminals and forget about them. The fact that Shining Armor couldn't get in shows that the prison doesn't answer to the Royalguard. This means that Blackhorn has a large amount of autonomy in how it operates, which is ripe for corruption or abuse of prisoners.
I just hope that Twilight has a legitimate reason for being there.
Oh wow! I truly feel for Twi-erm.. Egghead right now. About to get her horn chiseled and a month in solitary for... well... not even defending herself really. She just leaned up and Ripper did the rest. Poor Egghead... LOVING IT!!!
break you our in ten seconds flat
out.
They weren't supposed to ever supposed to see the other prison populations
7354805 Well that's just it. I could understand with normal thugs and all that. But their acting like the ponies in here are from a normal prison, not hardcore phycos that need to be locked up.
Whats more, This is TWILIGHT FUCKING SPARKLES. Maybe the others can be over looked, But this is the Princess's Student, and a Noble from Canterlot. EVERYONE knows this mare. She is the most important pony in the world next to Celestia. NO ONE is going to just ignore where she went or why. Reporters, Nobles, the guards, Celestia, Her friends, Shining Armor. EVERYONE is going to want to check up on her, keep tabs on her and so forth. No prison ever would be able to hide from all that. And the guards can't keep people out, they shouldn't be able to tell Shining Armor or Celestia or even Nobles to fuck off, because they are higher up in the food chain and can get that prison shut down and removed, or remove the guards and warden. It's impossible to act this bad and get away with it. No matter how much suspense in disbelief you expect people to throw away.
Miss Twilight Sparkle murdered an herd of duplicates of Miss Pinkamena Diane Pie. She never even bothered to learn that the mares were sapient before committing genocide against the sapients.
Well, that's like the entire premise of this alternate universe. Just because it wouldn't fit in perfectly with the show canon doesn't mean that this fic's ~verse doesn't have some rationale and worldbuilding to explain itself. It doesn't really matter, though, since as this fic's tagged as AU then it's explicitly not trying to be close to the show's world.
7357135 While true, I think it should be explained WHY Celestia or anyone else hasn't just barged their way in to see Twilight or keep watch on her. Especially if she did something really really bad, nobles and reporters would be all over this 'secret prison' watching her every move.
Miss Twilight Sparkle murdered several scores of sapient beings when she murdered the duplicates of Miss Pinkmena Diane Pie from the MirrorPool. In the Universe of the show, she got away with it because the duplicates all died, so she could claim that they are not even sentient, let alone sapient. Imagine this scenario:
Miss Twilight Sparkle accidentally murders the original Miss Pinkamena Diane Pie; while sparing one of those sapient duplicates. During the investigation of the murder of Miss Pinkamena Diane Pie, the investigators discover that the remaining duplicate is sapient; so presumably, the other duplicates were sapient too. Since these sapient beings came into being in Equestria, they have birthright citizenship. Miss Twilight Sparkle murdered scores of sapient citizens. The simple change of accidentally murdering Miss Pinkamena Diane Pie and accidently sparing a duplicate leads to Miss Twilight Sparkle getting a life-sentence with no possibility of parole.
In less than an year, the Princesses will disappear, Equestria will plunged into eternal twilight, and PlunderVines will overrun Equestria, as Discord watches, encased in stone.. An Year after that, Tirek will reemerge and steal all of the Magic in Equestria and beyond.
7359566 Will you quit forcing your headcanon on this story already? Seeing the first chapter's comments littered with your posts was annoying enough already.
Books are a bad deal. The other cons will be after her for them. Nothing else to do in there most of the day.
7359566 They're keeping a lid on things... mares... Its children then. She hurt one, and females are just as brutal as the males in that regard. She'd be better off in insolation if this is the case.
7354682 Blackthorn is probably the last stop before Tartarus.
Loving the story so far, keep it up!
Yeesh.

Egghead is trouble.
chisel her horn sounds pretty scary, were just talking about rounding the tip right?
Oh man poor Twilight. In other news I like some of the ocs ponies especially Mother. I wonder she here.

The story and reason is simple:
Miss Twilight Sparkle murdered several scores of sapient beings when she murdered the duplicates of Miss Pinkmena Diane Pie from the MirrorPool. In the Universe of the show, she got away with it because the duplicates all died, so she could claim that they are not even sentient, let alone sapient. Imagine this scenario:

Hah, that's why you don't try and body-slam a horn-head. Can't wait to see what happens next. This is some classic, Somber-grade misery right here.

Really love the story, wish you would continue it :(
It was an accident...and now he is having her chiseled?

Are you going to continue to update this? I'm worried about Twilight.
