So, is this a version of Equestria where everything seems to be identical to the Canon Timeline (or as Col. O'Neill would say, "close enough") except the only major difference is that Shining Armor was always a mare? And Gleaming Shield ends up someplace else....
Edit--(sorry, I overlooked seeing the R63 note) Interesting start, and so many possible choices for this thing to go. I'll keep an eye on this one.
But Gleaming is going to be in so much hot water with Pinkie for missing her party....
11234266 Good deduction on the timeline. I see i ve managed to somehow not screw that up :D Yes the setting is somewhere around Lunas return and Twilight slowly settling in. I ll look over the first chapter again, to edit a few lines, if that is not clear enough. But jokes aside, I ve sent her to a very special universe, which i think most people would love to be in...the M-rating is there just to be safe, because i plan on descriptive fighting and swearing. Maybe i can rework it down to T when im done.
PS: If you happen to stumble across a better option to mark the R63 let me know. PPS: Thx for reading, i love your profile pic xD
No, me overlooking the R63 was totally my bad. But in the narration of the first chapter, the wording was such that it did seem like Gleaming was Twilight's younger sister. Yes, most of the text does say that Gleaming is older, but where it says:
“But you made things happen without me. I heard the news about everything you achieved and I must admit: Defeating Nightmare Moon and getting Princess Luna back is going to be tough to beat for me!”
is very contradictory to that. I was left wondering if Gleaming Shield was simply a new addition to the Sparkle family, along with Shining Armor as their older brother. By this time in canon, Shining would have sure to be at least an upper midrank officer on his way to the top, if not already way up there--not just starting out military life as a bootcamp survivor. The only possible way a private fresh out of boot becomes the head of the military by the time Chrysalis makes her move in just a year or so would be if every single person senior to him/her dies!
Still, I just finished the next chapter & it's looking intriguing. So, anthro changelings mixed with humans, and no evolved "Equestrians" but rather just horses? Plus, Gleaming is having trouble speaking? Hmmm.... I foresee a "take your stinking paws off me you damn dirty ape!" line coming up.
