Power occasionally comes with a price.
Getting your brains blasted with enough magic to make manehattan glow for a decade is a small price to pay for being an alicorn.
It's still a price, though. It comes with drawbacks.
Twilight Sparkle's still trying to learn to deal with it.
Pre-read by The 24th Pegasus and Door Belle. Go check out their works, they're cool dudes.
For those curious about what i was listening to during the writing process.
Great movie, great opening tune.
7935599 Probably my favorite segment in that movie, too. Dark as the dickens, but very well constructed - and heck, i'm a big Eagles fan.
Need a sequel to this where her friends and Celestia find out, and help her...
A fascinating take on the aftereffects of ascension via giant magical laser barrage, disturbing in how well it captures the rise and fall of sensory overload. I find myself conflicted; I don't want Twilight to go through this ordeal ad infinitum, but I can't deny that this was quite well-written.
I reviewed this story as part of Read It Later Reviews #72.

So being an alicorn causes sensory overload?
