Inspired by my story, "Loving the Nightmare" -- Twilight Sparkle travels to the alternate timelines she saw while chasing Starlight Glimmer. Seeking knowlege, she instead finds lust, passion, possession and desire.

I am really interested in what the hell’s going on. I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen!
The effects of the vaccines do tend to be rough for a day or two, then instantly vanish.
A return of FlimFlam Celestia? HELL yes! TBH, that was the best part of this fic. I am very, VERY eagerly awaiting what you make of this...
Maybe we'll see a bit more of what she did to Luna too, if she brings Twilight back home...
Did you edit previous chapters? I'm fairly certain that twilight mentions a number of things in this chapter that she doesn't have any knowledge of in this story.
We didn't see it but it, but it seems like FF Celestia pressed the button. She shouldn't have done that.
Ngl, not a fan of this kind of development happening right after what happened last chapter…
Yeah, no. I don't buy this.
1st of all, how did that Celestia manage to get to this world? Twilight was the only one with knowledge on how to do so. She never shared that info, at least not that I'm aware of. Not to mention when we last saw unicorn Twilight she and her friends were with Chrysalis.
2nd of all, are you telling me that Dashiel didn't sound the alarm once she saw the portal open with Celestia coming through? Or trying to contact Luna the first time she feel asleep?

Part of your confusion is due to the brevity of the chapter. I had no idea how long I was going to be down with my vaccine reaction. A coworker was off for two weeks, and I was worried I was headed down a similar route, so I hit the publish button first chance I got.
As to your first question. It's reasonable and will be answered in story. Second.... My favorite war pony is very much a factor.
10918175
I also have a problem believing this because that Celestia was more invested in keeping her sister contained, paranoid of Nightmare Moon's return and indifferent to the suffering of her subjects. Her sudden desire to conquer all realities seems very far fetched
10918247
Could be some kind of misplaced 'care' for this world's Luna/Celestia. Alternatively, she's annoyed at the hostile action taken by this world's Twilight against her reign, and considered it an 'act of war' worthy of punishment.
10918349
Forgetting that she was a traveling royal who was tricked into slavery, raped, attempted to break, and so on. Any action Twilight took was more there to free herself and showing concern to that world's ponies.
Also, punishment is mute now. Alt Celestia could have contacted her other version and discussed this like two rulers. She might not have enslaved Twilight, but she could have gotten something as well as a ban forbidding Twilight from entering her world again under great risk to her liberty. All she is now is a moron invading another world with three other alicorns and a pegasus who has Discord on speed dial. Not to mention the numerous alliances and friends this Equestria has over her own.
I'm tempted to give alt Celestia the abridged Paradox voice for being so idiotic! My plan is great
10918426
Twilight did agree to do what she could to help Luna, and allied with enemies of the state. For a sufficiently twisted mind, that would be enough.
Though this Equestria has more allies, her Equestria has a clear technological advantage. She also doesn't know how many universes Twi has hopped through - are the other universes actually capable of travelling timelines like Twi is?
The real question is 'how powerful is this Celestia'. She can pretty much incapacitate a pony with a touch, and her magic... Well, I imagine her specific brand of insanity will make her very emotional, and considering strong emotions >>> strong magic...
10918542
But, if the last arc is anything to go on, alt Celestia won't be able to take control of the sun
10918542
I still believe that alt Celestia is an idiot and this is amazingly dumb. Even with 'advanced technology', which were only ever seen being used by and sold through the Flim Flam brother, it's still one vs an entire planet full of powerful beings. One of those beings being the Celestia of this world.
Further, rebellion was happening whether or not Twilight was involved. All she did was eliminate her slave creators and telling the resistance where to find the Elements. And as far as she knew, everything was on a good track so there was little reason for her to go back. Meaning that alt Celestia could have just ignored Twilight and she would still have her kingdom. Now she is risking everything to get petty revenge. Need I remind you she SOMEHOW recreated Twilight's spell, figured out which timeline to go to, managed to subdue the entire castle without anyone sending up warning light, and so on. It might have made more sense if this was Sombra, turned into mist after his defeat and laying low while hitching a ride onto Twilight. Then, while Twilight was away, he could have just begun to mind control everyone and learn all he needed to
10918587
It's possible that the spell used is so powerful that it leaves a 'trace' that she can follow. It IS a destabilization nonetheless.
IDK, there are ways this can work. The real question is how she hopes to deal with Discord. She may be assuming he is stoned, or maybe the suit works on him - he does tend to get fairly careless, and could probably let her slip one on him, thinking it would do nothing before realizing "oh shit"
Wait until you realize that getting that vaccine was worthless and that you will still be just as vulnerable regardless of whether you had it or not. Weird chapter btw.
10918607
Wait. Traces like that break down over time. I might have bought that alt Celestia could begin looking into the spell after learning about Twilight. But the time line of events make it very unlikely that she would have found her before the trail broke down.
She needed to end the rebellion (however long that took), break alt Twilight and get all the information out of her, then create the spell without the map, and a trail would still be there?
Part of me is hoping that this is staged. Like Dashiel is worried about a possibility of something like this happening and needs to show Twilight how screwed they will all be without additional security and guards
10919094
Yeano, the vaccines do provide protection against serious disease and infection, it just isn't 100%
10919132
She doesn't necessarily need to know the spell to get a trace. She could get the trace, hold the data, and develop the timeline hopping capability. When she has the spell, just feed the data she gathered months ago in, and wait for a good opportunity.
10919185
Still seems iffy that she could do that. I mean, let's say it took a month to stop the rebellion and a few days to break alt Twilight. The trail should have broken down by then making travel between realities harder.She would also need an understanding of what she's looking for before trying to recreat the spell with no reference points that she is aware of as well as lacking the map
10919185
Whatever helps you sleep at night.

10919206
If she saw some weird interdimensional magic, recorded its 'trajectory' and then went along with her business, I don't see why following it a month later would be any harder. She knows its trajectory, she can follow it.
As for understanding what she was looking for... Perhaps she could get some trace of the spell's construction from the brief glance she got from the initial 'trace', and use that to speed up the recreation of the spell. As for doing it without the map... IS the map destroyed in that world? If she sensed the powerful magic used, it's possible she would have tracked the physical location TO the map.
10919304
The map wouldn't exist in that world. Remember, it was created when the mane 6 unlocked their keys followed by the chest. I can not imagine the tree giving alt Celestia the chest given what she's done to her world.
Highly doubt she'd be looking for the magical trace since she didn't notice it the first time Twilight came to that world. Or the second
10919333
We don't know if she DID notice it. All we know is she didn't tie it to Twilight (or she DID, and was waiting for her to break so she could get more information)
And the map exists in ALL the alternate timelines. It's an anomaly in time at this point. Look at the episode this fic is based on, the map is present in ALL timelines.
10919366
It could be because of the spell, that it's an anchoring point for the time travelers. We also don't know if it vanishes when the traveler leaves
10919094
Being in my mid 50s I've had the fun of experiencing a lot of diseases you likely haven't. I've been able to watch my own kids not have to experience them, not risking life long impairment and death in the process thanks to vaccines.
Vaccines aren't 100%. Nothing medical is. But they definitely stack the odds in your favor. The science is well established and I have no regrets about mine
What I am regretting is putting out a partial chapter because I didn't want to miss my deadline. So this is what I'm going to do...
My work week ends at 7am Pacific daylight Time Saturday. If by then this comment has more down than upvotes I'll pull it until it can be released fully completed. Otherwise I'll assume you are all fine waiting with the piece you have.
10919555
It's about 50/50 in the comments, but remember, people who are critical are always more vocal. Most people read, silently liked it, and moved on
People really should make an active effort to comment on every fic they read...
10919674
yeah, i'm more of a behind-the-scenes person myself but if i get a heads up from the comments i'll pop out of the woodwork and mention something.
when it came to this chapter i actually hadn't noticed the length until pen said something, but i was really sucked in to what i was reading while it was on my desk
10922375
I was the same myself, until I wrote fics of my own and realized that I really REALLY love seeing ANY comment on them.
On dang, I forgot about her.
10925479
true that!
There had better be a good reason Flim Flam's Twilight is a drone now.
Don't get me started on how Daybreaker supposedly easily captured twilight's castle.
I sincerely hope Twi wins in the end, I guess I love it win the heroes win.
Hnnnnnn fffffffffUUUUUUUUUUUC
I just got into this story a couple of days ago and I've been singing it's praises from the mountain tops on how for a smut story it deals so will with things like the aftermath of each event. The healing/aftercare the raw emotion of it all.
I got so worked up at the end of the last chapter I didn't see me catching up to the writer.
As much as I'd like to complain. Please take all the time you need. Your writing is really something that shows the passion it deserves as well as the emotional outpouring of your personal life difficulties.
I just really hope this doesn't become a story I become so invested in only for it to never finish (RIP the unconverted one)
I started out reading this for the clop after Twi's other little romp with NMM, but the story is what's keeping me here.
10930425
Judging by her number. Id say ALOT of ponies were enslaved to get there.
The question is, how did she get the spell?
10918130
True, our Twilight never did give up the spell.
But, There's nothing to say that in FlimFlam world StarSwirls original isn't still in the royal archives.
Something I'm sure Celestia would have perused in an attempt to
stopcontrol LunaHopefully some of those modifications Starlight made were to the collar... and not just the latex currently occupying the changing den.
At least Twilight knows a way to get that off now... Find some Changling nullstone.
10918587
Ahh but you see, there's nothing stopping Evil Tia from turning up and lobbing latex at any of the ponies in the castle. Dashiel included. From there it is just a case of breaking one to find out all she needs to know about this world.
Remember that Tri--143 would instantly revert to her old ways as soon as a dominant force arrived, her "Override Prime" would effectively put an end to that. Instantly telling Evil Tia anything she wanted to know.
(Depending on what the "master keys" were back in that story but I'm not going to get into cryptography or certificate chains as I'm assuming our methods for implementing software controls don't apply to magical cartoon horses)
Could we see Sunset in this chapter?
What about Control?
So many questions.
This story kicks ass.
Thought I'd browse some stories to see what's been written this past year, instead I get to binge read an epic fantasy on the scale of The Immortal Game.
And then, her friends notice something is wrong, and rescue her, and if Celestia try to send something to Fluttershy then Discord just snap the fingers
I hope the comments didn't demoralize you too much, especially after you saw the outpouring of support. I'll say i've never been as excited to see where you'll take the story as I am now.
10966185
Next chapter is almost done. It is, what should have been the rest
10966503
Pretty sure I told you to rest and not worry about the story :P
