Immediately following the events of Embodiment of Rage, Julian and Alex wander the world searching for a new home, while warning the worlds' leaders about the demon threat.
Welp, Celestia is in for a huge wake up call. Stories like this make me want to write a hate-fic all about messily killing off things in front of the 'Heroes' after explaining all the ways that their victory can lead to immense suffering or death for the ones that they have beaten, or dismantling their so-called Aesops of lesser indicants with the same process of 'Reason-you-suck' then 'Why-winning-ruins-their-lives.'
Nightmare Moon? Take the piss out of Celestia for not noticing that her sister was going insane from ponies starting to actively hate her.
Trixie? It's literally her job to be a prideful looking showoff. Oh, and make it clear that Snips and Snails are so stupid that they are an actual threat to Ponyville.
Gilda? People change over time and sometimes social circles don't mix well. A person can have two friends who get along great with them and utterly hate eachother. Make the ponies understand this.
Zecora? Slap Pinkie through a wall. Make them sit down and actually talk before the drama can happen.
Discord? Point out that he's a nigh omnipotent prankster at this point. Ask Discord about his life to find out what kind of mentality he actually has. Or just drag him aside and messily murder him, then show off the corpse.
The Flim Flam bros? Drag them aside, ask them why the hell they are being con artists and do one's best to make them ruin the status quo of Equestria in a good way, while making sure that they don't go for the bad end Industries timeline.
Iron Will? Actually good situation, but make it clear that just because Fluttershy took it badly doesn't mean that his methods don't work well for less extreme cases. Maybe have Iron Will understand that there is no one-size-fits-all anti-dormat lecture, so he starts to use less absolute terms.
Changelings? Murder. Them. All... after finding out whether or not it's actual starvation, as well as important aspects of Changeling anatomy to figure out if they are firmly in the 'Kill the parasites' area or not. If it is, bring up the Zecora situation.
Sombra? Kill fast, kill hard, kill in front of Cadence and the Crystal Ponies. Not worth the trouble of redeeming, given the difficulty of verifying the reason he went jerkass.
And so on, killing off big bads after at least trying to figure out if they are in the 'Irredeemable monster,' 'Inherent threat to Equestria just for existing' or 'Actually just a redeemable jerkass/short sighted fool/desperate with a bunch of power.' For the lesser issues, make the downsides for the 'adversary' clear and try to do something to mitigate it.
8294709 No, but I'm going through some stuff at the moment, not sure when I'll be writing again. It's not dead though, will definitely be writing again, just not sure when.
8752917 I'm currently waiting on Alex to get back to me so it's still semi-alive on the operating table. Unfortunately we both have a lot on our tables atm IRL so I'm not sure when I'll be back on this, but I haven't stopped completely, I will get back to it.
Ouch, what a bitch that must have been. Still though, great chapter.
Glad to see you got around the blockade against your writing
a demon huh?... make him burn... send him back to the pits of hell
Fun Time

No, but I'm going through some stuff at the moment, not sure when I'll be writing again. It's not dead though, will definitely be writing again, just not sure when.
