“It’s terribly dangerous for an artist to fulfill other peoples’ expectations. They produce their worst work when they do that.” - David Bowie
Recently crowned Princess of Equestria Twilight Sparkle wakes up after a bender, and tries to piece together what happened.
Perhaps she should be Princess of Wine and Questionable Decision Making instead.

Very amusing. I like the ending reveal as well, bravo.
Damn, those alicorns don't mess around! At least someone was keeping track.
This really captures the feeling. I should know, because I'm hungonver right now. Can't get enough of those alicorns hanging out, and the twist at the end was inspired. Good stuff!
Why do I get he feeling Candace is going to suddenly a lot of crazy rumors about “her” drunken shenanigans
Nice bit of crack. Never been drunk, but I hate getting up in the morning.
Liked that twist at the one. Didn't see it coming!
I know there was something I forgot about. Reading this story when I had time after I saw it drop earlier. I wasn't disappointed.
I love the idea of reforming chrysalis by getting drunk with her lmao
Thank you very much. This was an extremely enjoyable read. Not to short not to long. And best of all a great fun and unexpected twist at the end there.
Damn you got me there. 10/10 just for that.

I suggest trying to keep it that way, some light drinking is fine but getting drunk bloody sucks. Trust me on that one, I speak from experience.
My take on unicorn - alicorn alcoholism: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/64816/1/the-word/the-word
There's this strange dichotomy where Cadance is portrayed as either the wildest or the most responsible of the four Alicorns, and I'm going to be honest, I'm into it.
The twist brings this to sublime
Nothing like a good hangover to make you feel alive
Hee hee hee! I needed a good giggle. Thanks! :D

No worries, I literally almost never drink. Maybe I'll have one at a social gathering every month or so.
I'm also caffeine-independent. Never needed coffee or energy drinks, never plan to start.
This is just so damn adorable and funny as heck with all "four" princesses talking about their fun little escapades! All enjoyment and smiles; err well, excluding the hangover! Hope ya didn't mind, but I couldn't resist making a reading of this heavenly fic of yours!

Those aren't necessarily incompatible
I feel like this is the way to redeem Chrysalis. Show her that they know how to have fun. And then she can laugh at them when they're hungover. Like...I can totally see this happening.
This was amazing and totally deserves to be featured.

Serious hangovers are really, really unpleasant. You're doing well avoiding them!
Enjoyable bit of fun, and good foreshadowing. Cadence insisting on calling her sister-in-law “Princess” is more than a little suspicious. Thank you for it.
I'd like to imagine they were listening to "Living on My Own" by Freddie Mercury while getting drunk the night before.
That's a pretty good use for Chrysalis there.
Hell. To. The. Fuck. Yes.
Liked. Commented. Subscribed.
If I had a thousand years on the moon I could not describe just how much I adore everything about this fic.
Wonderful work Graymane, absolutely fanstastic.
Where, uh, where can I find the 'quel's? 👀

She's a creature that has fed on love for a thousand years.
All she needs is to be shown that she can still experience it, even after all she's done.

There takes a certain kind of mare to start dating the captain of the royal guard behind the backs of her co-ruler and his own sister, who she has a caring relationship with.
And there's changes that motherhood introduces to a mare's person in terms of their capacity to do wild things.
Both sides are equally apt to be present and when written well, I love each of them.
I love this story lol
(p.s. im very sorry about your also liked section I swear it wasn't my fault)
ah, simple dumb fun
good fic
as an aside, it feels like a cracky start to a Chrysalis redemption fic
Nicely played!
Wow. Definitely one of my favorites on this site; I loved this.
oh by Luna's blessed moon this gave me the giggles!
Hey they can't out vote Twilight, but by the same token Celestia and Luna are retired an can drink as much as they like now!
That's a lot of booze! Heh!
Liked it, short, straight to the point, and funny. A 10-minute remix of MLP with The Hangover.

I don't think they dated behind Tia's back. Shining isn't that much older than Twi, so how did he manage to climb the ranks into such a prestigious position so quickly? Rather convenient if you consider that, at least in literature, being granted knighthood is often the only way for someone not born into nobility if they wanted to marry a noble, let alone a member of the royal family. As captain of their ruler's personal guard he is practically the knight (in Shining Armor ^^) in the eyes of the public . Coincidence...or Momlestia pulling strings for the sake of her surrogate daughter's love life ...
And as for Cadi vanishing from Twilight's life so suddenly and completely ... I would assume that someone pointed out that it wasn't wise for a princess of EQ to keep visiting the home of a young soldier to foalsit his sister, especially when that filly spent most of her time at school or with Celestia, or the library etc., had two healthy parents and probably had never needed a foalsitter to begin with.

The background of their relationship is really, really split between what can be assumed from the show and what we see in the comics. It's best if those two ponds aren't brought near eachother, as only much headache awaits down that road.

I gotta admit, my memory of Cadi's backstory and their early relationship in idw canon is quite blurry. Their writers have played it rather fast and loose sometimes, too much so for me to really care about the comics at the time.
So what I wrote is merely a headcanon I refer to unless a fan fic paints a different picture.
But if you say you want to keep fanon, idw-canon and any kind of deductive claims cleanly separated from the main canon,
then you should stick to your own rules ^^. Whether Celestia only learned of their relationship when they asked her to host the wedding or had been in the know all along, there's no indication either way in the actual show.
But you are right in that both her BBBFF and her sisterly friend kept this secret from Twi even when she was old and smart enough to deal with such a secret appropriately. That was pretty messed up... and it's the tamest interpretation of Cadi's actions.
I always try not to hold the bad implications against Cadance as a character because it's just the result of the terrible writing in those episodes,
but I wouldn't have minded if Twi had stopped for a moment to bitchslap the daylights out of her before literally saving her life and her wedding/marriage.
It's always entertaining to read about a Cadance who's a bit more badass than the sorry excuse for an alicorn she is in the main canon,
but Twily deliberately messing with her is even better. This story has both. The fun hath been doubled!
I love that this is how they reform chrysalis not through straight up friendship but by going on bad crawls getting her to chill out
