MLP/Horus Heresy - Princess Twilight Sparkle and friends are summoned to help a very old friend of Princess Celestia's with a unique friendship problem.
So much work for the girls. But I have a question: Many Primarchs fell to Chaos because some of their man followed the Dark Gods, like Erebus of the Word Bearers and Typhon of the Death Guard. And Angron was doomed because of the Butchers Nails - the implants were killing him and the Emperor knew this. Will this be factored into the story?
8307320 Oh yes. All of the Primarchs' respective issues are going to be touched on. Princess Twilight and company definitely have their work cut out for them.
The Butcher's Nails are going to factor into things, and while Khorne still has an easier in with him than if he'd ended up on literally any other planet in the Galaxy, he doesn't also have a layer of seething, utterly-justified hate against his father that canon!Angron had. The Emperor has been actively trying to find a way to fix it, but so far his best option only has about a 10% chance for meaningful survival, with a myriad of possible side effects (best-case option other than the extremely slim chance he comes out 'normal', would be surviving, being him, and having absolutely no capacity for aggression, which isn't so good for a warrior).
As for Erebus... he REALLY wasn't happy about the Emperor's surprisingly good handling of things with Lorgar, and will actually be showing up. It's not all going to be sweetness and light around here (if you're familiar with the non-MLP fic Child of the Storm, or the Dresden Fillies series here, it's going to be around that level of GRIMDARK showing up amongst the light), and the Primarchs will get to showcase their combat abilities as well as their issues and softer sides.
And Fulgrim's issues being dealt with are another of the mental images that I randomly had that lead to this fic, actually.
8309266 Right Fulgrim and the Daemon in his sword, totally forgot about that. Man the Emperor fucked up badly in canon 40k.
Another question is there a source for the names of all the equerries? I only read the Horus Heresy books up to "Flight of the Eisenstein". And then I got hooked on Nathaniel Garro and his quests to find people for Malcador.
8309348 I'm not having them bring their usual Equerries (in fact, the Emperor basically demanded the Lion bring Luther along). The identities of who they picked are going to be revealed next chapter, and some of the choices were made for interesting reasons.
Also, aside from the daemon sword, Fulgrim's thing about wanting to be an artist and being hindered by his need for perfection will be getting addressed.
Please let there be Text to Speech Characters, personality and humor as well.
I'd a like Kitten to be a guide or climbing up the ranks to try and be Captain General.
Or put them in omakes so I can read them.

Oh god... YES! That would be perfect! I so wanna see that!
I hadn't really thought about it, but I can definitely see one somewhat awkward member of the Custodes being assigned to look after the new arrivals.
Oddly enough, I can see him getting along quite well with Fluttershy.
The rest of the Custodes will, to say the least, be a lot more dignified than in that series. :p
Added an omake to the author's notes on the Prologue, regarding the "initial disagreement" on Nuceria.

Bet there will be a long talk between Rarity and Fulgrim, they both have a need for perfection.
