Hope you enjoy some writing.

What does a given pony see when they look into the Mirror of Erised?

The events leading up to the discovery of the mirror and the heart's desire of each pony that looks into it.

Chapters (10)
Comments ( 41 )

Okay, this is just a little thing I came up with.

I will update every few days with a different ponies. Now, this is how it's going to work. If you comment, leave the pony that you want to see written about next. The most popular at the end of the previous chapter is the one I'll do.

Enjoy the story!

I think you should do Princess Celestia. Also, maybe I'm wrong, but shouldn't this be tagged crossover?

I asked about it. But because I only include the one element, and I never really connect it to Harry Potter, no. Though, if this somehow incorporated Harry Potter in a larger way, I would retag it to reflect that.

That was good. I teared up a little when Celestia looked in the mirror. :fluttercry:
The only thing I noticed was during the flashback scene, you called Nightmare Moon Nightmare Night a few times.
So... who's next? I'd like to see Rainbow Dash.

wow nice job, that's the closest i've come to being choked up with emotion for awhile!

But i really don't think it's Celestia's job to feel totally bad about this, yes Luna made a bad decision, yes MAYBE Celestia could've helped her. But she refused to take the help. But on the flip side Celestia was given a chance to help her, one that would've hurt her subjects but ya know it's called haggling. Maybe if she were smart she'd make a national holiday about her sister like the winter moon festival or something? Ya know, to help her be viewed with mre respect?

So i don't know, may have read too much into this but whatever. SO is Luna going to get one of these too, because i feel like she'd just have "more respect" or "sister to love me again" as her vision.

Excuse me while I: D'AWWWWWWWWWWW! Mama Dash is best Dash! :rainbowkiss:
How about Big Macintosh next?
Also, just curious, am I the only one voting on this?

I want a Fluttershy chapter next.

819776

Hehe, glad you liked Dash's chapter.

And no, you aren't the only voter. Just the only consistent one. Thanks for sticking with me and my updates!

819851

Sure, I can do a Fluttershy chapter. And then I'll do a Big Mac chapter unless I get a sudden thing of votes pointing me in another direction.

It is a nice take on both the mirror and the ponies' desire, so far.
Nothing obvious, and nothing completely out of the blue either.

I'll be waiting eagerly for the next chapters! (By the way, if you want to have Big Mac look in the mirror before the rest of the Mane 6, maybe you should pair him with Applejack to justify his presence here...Because I doubt Twilight would ask him before, say, Fluttershy.)
Actually, I really wonder what would be Fluttershy's desire. There's plenty of great possibilities^^

> Nothing out of the blue.
Heh... I surprised myself with Rainbow Dash. But I'm glad you enjoyed it.

820766
I've got the Fluttershy chapter done and ready to go. But I'm going to wait until tomorrow because bump. And I'm also glad you enjoyed it.

820990 Indeed. I found out how best to explain my enjoyment of this chapter, however. By not speaking in my first language, of course!

Danke schön, Herr Schatten!

Danke schön!

Can we get some Princess Luna next? Either that or the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

So I assume we'll be getting an Applejack chapter next?

Hmm Mac with the hots for RD, RD wants a child. . . :trixieshiftleft::trixieshiftright::trixieshiftleft::trixieshiftright::trixieshiftleft:

819762

I agree with you. But on the flipside, in my headcanon, Princess Celestia feels guilt because it was her that banished her sister. She could have, should have tried harder to reason with her sister and whatnot. But yes, Luna will get a chapter. She's next. What she see's? I can't tell you that yet. Wait until tomorrow.

825359

Nooooooo... now's not the time for that. I've stuck my hand in the shipping fire one to many times and burned myself bad.

825389

Luna, LUUUUUNNNNAAAA is best pony. The only reason I didn't do her first is because it seemed more logical to start with Twilight. After that, I listened to my audience.

830600

Maybe after Luna. AJ really doesn't have a reason to stick around in the loft at the moment. I'll try to give her a reason after Luna or the CMC

832750

Sorry to disappoint, but nope. The whole scene was AJ needling Big Mac about it. She doesn't really know. It's one of those 'I suspect it, I'm 99% sure, but I can't quite prove it' situations.

And to all I didn't address directly, thanks for reading! I hope I continue writing good chapters to enjoy!

*Edit* I have one more character slot than I thought. Cutie Mark Crusaders will get that slot.

With the exception of the mane six, any other character will go in the continuation of the story, "And the Heart Beats on". It'll be released the day I get a character other than the mane six.

Adorableness level: Over the roof.

NO LUNA! DESTROY THE MIRROR! IT JUST WANTS TO MAKE YOU EVIL AGAIN!

Don't go in there! Don't look at the mirror! Dammit guys, why do you never listen to me?!?!

Fascinating. well, if you'll excuse me, you've delayed né enough from job applications, I should just get off the Internet before you get me hooked again.:pinkiesmile::pinkiehappy:

I vote for a Rarity chapter next.

Figures that of all the ponies, applejack would be happiest. :ajsmug:

Also can we get a granny smith chapter for the lulz?

839723

Good, good... everything goes as planned. Execute stage 3 of "Death by Cuteness".

847094

I think the point was that RD wanted her own foal. It'd be interesting to see Scootaloo ask, though. Unfortunately, I suspect it may be a bit cliche and this is not the story to cover that. Maybe another day.

850048>>850081

Aye, they should listen. But they won't because otherwise I'd be out one good story.

850782

Current queue: Pinkie Pie, Trixie, Rarity (At least, I'm pretty sure that's what it is. I'll double check.)

851236

Of course you can have Granny Smith... I have something special planned for her.


I'm glad all of you continue to enjoy this story. I look forward to finishing this off (Because of the character limit) and kicking off the second story with Trixie.

Good thing Pinkie's not affected that badly by it!:pinkiesmile:

She would be immune to its effects.

Please tell me you have a concise theory of why some people are resistant to the intoxicating effect. It's become too important a plot point at this point.

856219

I think with the exception of Celestia and Big Mac, no pony has actually been affected too badly by it. Remember, Harry Potter wasn't immediately taken by the mirror. It took a few days, if I remember correctly.

856255

Not immune, just more open to receiving stuff like this. She knows what she wants, so she goes and does it. It'd be after she failed several times to achieve what the mirror showed her that she goes back.

856408

Again, I believe that there are some people who go and do rather than idle in inaction. They see what they want, so they try to achieve that goal. They're resistant because they don't realize they can't have what the mirror shows. It takes several failures before they realize that the only way they're going to see their deepest desire come true is through the mirror.

Kinda like heavy weights and light weights in alcohol consumption. Some get smashed after two beers. Others are still coherent after half a dozen. (P.S. I have no idea how much alcohol is a lot, but I think you get the idea.)

Pinkie parties hard! :pinkiehappy:
Anyway, I hope for the sequel/continuation I can get a Derpy Hooves chapter. :derpytongue2:

832750
>implied BraeburnxBig Mac
>want RDxMac
>.>

Another interesting chapter.

I have to wonder though... If it shows you what you want and can't have, short of staring into it... Does that mean Rainbow is barren? Sad irony if all that excessive training has rendered her infertile when she really wants a family...

872085 A slightly less cruel but equally sad truth is that maybe her personality precludes her from attaining a relationship, or that the Wonderbolts would disallow such a thing.

Upon the former I must admit that this isn't entirely true; but maybe the stallion she could get would be simply repulsed at the idea of a family.

EDIT: And upon the latter, again I must concede; for, providing that a family is her heart's desire, she could simply choose one or the other. Eh.

What would Discord's greatest desire be? Or chrysalis or spike's? Shining armor's would probably be him seeing trough Chrysalis's disguise and rescuing Cadance?

My only gripe is that in the original mirror only you can see your own desires but other than that this is great.

Geez, really? Her heart's desire is just for every other creature to get along? Cripes.
I mean, I know she's the Element of Kindness and all, but that's just TOO selfless.

That's Applejack. Don't learn nothin', don't want nothin'.
