I'm a long time science fiction and animation fan who stumbled into My Little Pony fandom and got caught -- I guess I'm a Brony Forever now.

Interesting. Does this Rarity still become the Element of Generosity?
I'm going to have to echo 7830160. This is a touching scene, but I have to wonder what happens from here. A life where there normally isn't one is a tremendous point of departure.
Very interesting read, I can't help but hope that the little guy was either raised (partially or fully) by his grandparents or put up for adoption. A fourteen-year-old really isn't equipped to be a mother.
Aww, poor Rares. I can't possibly imagine giving birth at my age *shudders*
Sweet but troubled waters lie ahead. In this world line I wonder if our diamond gal will be able to open up store at all, and I wonder about the little diamond as well when the sun falls to darkness in a few years.
I think there is an error here.

No, the survival of Diamond Bell changes the lives of Rarity and Futtershy. Rarity opens what starts as a clothing cleaning and repair shop at 15, using a loan from her parents, and acts as seamstress rather than designer at first, only then slowly moving into fashion design. This happens more gradually because she never completes her training at the Fillydelphia Institute; instead she works and studies.
Fluttershy winds up helping take care of Rarity during pregnancy and her child after the birth. Because of Rarity's presence the events of Fluttershy's Night Out never happen (Fluttershy's not as desperately lonely, nor would Rarity let her get into that sort of situation with a strange stallion) and Fluttershy is somewhat less afraid of other Ponies. When Rarity expands her business Fluttershy goes in with her as a partner.
Come Luna's Return, Rarity and Fluttershy stick by Diamond Bell and Fluttershy's animal hive, while Carrot Top and Derpy are selected by the Tree of Harmony to attune to Generosity and Kindness.
This story was originally a fragment from an alternate worldline I'd thought up around the Diamond Bell live birth POD.

Rarity gets a lot of help from her parents and then from Fluttershy raising Diamond Bell. This gives him an ... interesting ... view on society. He eventually learns to get along really well with both high society and other species, and has a career as an international trader, working for Rarity Enterprises (which takes a bit longer to get set up in the AU, but tanstaafl).

That's part of why in the main Shadow Wars Story Verse worldline, she loses him to miscarriage. She's only 13 when he's conceived. Younger than Sweetie Belle is after Season Three in the SWSV. There are a number of reasons why Rarity is totally cool with Sweetie being best friends with Glittershell, and one of them is that Rarity knows Glittershell's sexual orientation. She would worry more if Sweetie spent as much time with Snips or Button Mash!
Oh yes. Rarity does think like that. She's polite and ladylike, but not at all naive.

That's good to hear at least, both in regards to her and Flutters having a positive influence on one another and both Rarity and Diamond getting support. But man her being that young and having a kid turns my stomach a bit.
Please don't take offense to that, I realise being young and sexually adventurous is certainly a thing that happens, but pregnancy can be so, so dangerous. Poor girl.
It's too bad that it would change her and Fluttershy's dealings with the elements so drastically,but I absolutely understand why. How does this affect Fluttershy's dealings with the changelings?

Rarity's situation is to some extent tragic, even in the worldline where she gets to keep her child. She was taken advantage of at an early age and has to grow up really fast. Compared to the mainline SWSV Rarity, she's a less brittle and dark character, though, because she didn't suffer the final horror of miscarriage, nor did she pervert her Talent toward destroying Rush Rocks.
She's still driven, though by slightly different motives than mainline Rarity. She wants to succeed for her child, and increasingly also for Fluttershy, with whom she is closer than in the mainline SWSV and toward whom she feels quite protective (and the AU Fluttershy is a bit more innocent than the SWSV one, since she never met Nosey or anypony like him).
Rarity still develops her ideals of Fabulosity and strives to live up to them, but the forces driving her are less dark. On the other hand, she doesn't achieve quite as much in the AU -- one can say that in the mainline SWSV she paid her dues in serious suffering when she was younger, and in the AU she's suffered a bit less. But only a bit.
It could of course be worse than in either worldline. There are worldlines where Rarity dies of complications with her pregnancy. She is only 13-14, after all. I am not sure I'm comfortable writing that story, though. I love Rarity.
Oh, Fluttershy's Changeling heritage hasn't changed either. Maybe there's a story where Rarity and Fluttershy have to confront Chrysalis, and someone does some awesome music about it. You know, "Rarity and Fluttershy's Epic"?
Interesting. I'd like to see more of this timeline.

Hm, is the story of her and Rush Rocks one that is out? I knew about the pregnancy in your main story line, the fact that she was very young, and I knew that she had miscarried, but I didn't remember any of the specifics, or even the Sire's name. I initially assumed he was only a little older than she and they both made a mistake. So I am honestly missing a little bit of information and context when you say that she tarnished her EoH trying to destroy him. Destroy him how? As in, actively ruin his life? Bankrupt him? Ruin his name? Yes?
Possibilities of her dying due to complications are the main reason for my feeling of unease about the whole thing. Pregnancy can be far more dangerous than people give it credit for even now for an adult, the chances of complications increase dramatically when the mother is that young. Possibilities of defects, miscarriages, accidental sterilization, moderate-to-severe internal tearing and damage to the mother beyond that, you name it. It's probably different for ponies, and I am thinking like a human here, but damn. Double it down 'cause I like Rarity, I really do.
That said, both her and Fluttershy having someone to lean on and stave away the loneliness makes me very happy, even if the circumstances around it are so unfortunate. And Flutters never meeting Nosey and being hurt that deeply is a very positive note to the whole thing. I don't fault the guy for the action, nor do I particularly fault him for his reasoning, I just wish he had been more upfront about his intent before the ordeal. Especially to someone as naive as Fluttershy was at the time.
I think either Hans Zimmer's Time or Clint Mansell's Death is the Road to Awe would suffice, personally. Especially if it never comes to blows and you just want dramatics.
This is intresting hope more is to come
Is anyone else a bit confused by the Author notes?
8355444
What about them confuse you? I'll gladly clarify any point.
8355456
Just basically everything. All this talk about Worlds and stuff.

The SWSV (Shadow Wars Story Verse) is explicitly a multiverse: there are multiple worldlines, separated at POD's (Points of Divergence) where key events went differently. The main difference between this worldline and the main SWSV worldline is that in this worldline, Rarity successfullly bears her bastard foal (Diamond Bell) instead of miscarrying him.
In the SWSV in general, Ponykind was Uplifted from the Pre-Ponies (what we would think of as "horses") in two stages, by two different races: the Great G'marr and the Eldren. The Great G'marr gave the Ponies sapience, and the Eldren crafted the original Five Kinds (Earth Ponies, Unicorns, Pegasi, Sea Ponies and Flutter Ponies) out of them.
Is anything else unclear?
8356251
I get it, SWSV, though. Where can I find out more about it?
8356461
Every story I've written on this site is in the SWSV.
8356564
Okay.
Really well-written story. But where can I read the story in which Rarity miscarried? Thanks!
Huh this was interesting. Is this part of a larger universe, I see the year marks.
Oh god. I'm 14, and while I'm still a virgin, I have had surgery and I can feel some of the memories. Poor girl.

I'm sorry for your pain. And my Rarity's, though it was necessary for the story.
