What if the alicorns of Equestria aren't just representations of their various aspects, but are in fact, linked to their very existance?
This question had been bouncing around my head, and just kept gathering more and more details until I had to get it out for others to know my suffering.
Look, upon the Desolation of Elysium, and know despair.
Edit: I may revisit this at some point and tweak it a bit, but mostly I just needed to get the idea out there before it joined so many others in the dusty, forgotten corners of my mind

How did this headcanon of yours come to be?

It's not so much a headcanon as it is just a line of thought that I wanted to explore, but it started with the idea of self-perpetuating immortality.
I thought, everything dies eventually, even the sun, but memories, and the love they are attached to, could theoretically live forever in a mind that was protected against decay. Thus, Cadance became the only true immortal alicorn.
EDIT: And I can see we're off to a strong start my first dislike...
Well, I'm impressed.

Why thank you! I really should try to write down more of my ideas, especially since many of them, like this one, seem to write themselves once I get started.
Reading over it again, I'm tempted to try and write a side-qual following Twi and Flurry, but I worry that would lessen the impact of this one.

I do the same thing. Get an idea and run with it. Don't know where I'm going until I get there, OR I know where I am going to go, but the route is never truly planned.
