11259391 There are summaries given at key moments, but no, that would kill the point and pacing. The whole idea is to create two interlinked stories as the party splits in half, think of it like how comics crossover.
(1) Ah, I like how Sombra's dimension has a fertility festival, sad to know the reason why it had to be implemented. (2) Huh, didn't know that Beatrix had the chance to become part of Sombra's herd, but well, I didn't read Oblivion or Fire and Shadow so that explains that. I am still reading though so that's nice! (3) Seeing Icyln 'cool' Beatrix down was a bit funny. It reminded me of the skill I gave Snowy Blizzard in LOVE, though it's more on the intimidation skill than pure magic. (4) Ah, talking about foals eh? Yeah things were tough for them. I imagine if Midnight's Awakened Hyper Stallion form was powerful enough to break through contraceptive potions, he would've already made some foals with Cerise and Moonlight before they knew! Though that'd bring the question of what would happen in Lightendark, with Midnight breeding Cerise within Doppia's previous body and Oona. Eh, another world, another AU that doesn't need to be discovered as of now. ---> (5) I wonder what will be Lightning's favorite food once she's able to properly eat. Her form has probably not been at the best shape, which also surprises me as to how she's able to fight so effectively. You don't really pick up those skills unless you were made to have those skills. Perhaps her cutie mark then is the ability to resist foes? No matter how strong or desperate the situation is, she'll fight and her ability to fight will increase the more determined/desperate she is? (6) Nice that Equinox came and saved Lightning, otherwise she would've become the next changeling broodmare! (7) Lightning being sad upon hearing that people are going missing and thinking that one of them is Midnight makes me a bit sad, though I'm glad that Midnight is alive. Hopefully they'll meet up soon!
---> (8) So is this Crystal Empire an old one or new one? The Crystal Empire doesn't appear until after the Changeling Invasion... wait... how did the remnants of Equestria manage to defeat Sombra? Maybe Shining won a duel against him?
Or maybe upon seeing the greater enemy they unite forces? Like, in a person's video he said that Sombra upon seeing x bad future just simply leaves, but seeing that the Crystal Empire is here, it might've become the resistance's base. Kind of reminds me how the USA became the Allie's energy boost during both world wars. Here it's the Crystal Empire acting as a way to gain more soldiers, a strong safe haven (I imagine the changelings lost due to winter XD) and a way to eventually retake Canterlot.
Wonder what happened to PoW Sombra. Maybe he died while fighting, died in the Crystal Empire against Shining, is an ally who just likes to be left alone? Ooooooooooooooooooo! So much potential!

“We roam the land in search of any clues pointing towards changeling hives, mostly with deserted establishments like this. If it hasn’t been destroyed and appears valuable, we take it as payment.”
“W-what? But that's stealing?"
“Uh, yeah? Weren’t you raiding their fridge before the swarm dropped by~?”
“T-that was just for survival! I wouldn’t have done this otherwise!”
“That sounds like a you problem,”
Oof to Lightning, she just got owned!
(10) Nice pool scene! Honestly it is a sad fact that Midnight could die very early without any treatment. His soul is just to hot that it burns him, his fate shown by his blue flame cutie mark (at least that's how I interpret it here). It's interesting how Cerise considered Moonlight and wanted Midnight to give her more special treatment, and at the same time she almost considered getting knocked up as there was no telling if Midnight would still live.
(11) Oh dear! Omen tells Beatrix what had happened! But at least he tries to comfort her. At least he tells her to tell everyone, and even if he didn't, Icyln overheard everything. So oof.
(12)
She thought back to something Zeloph said and couldn't agree more at the moment. All deers were dicks.
XD ---> (13) Oh, almost forgot, but it seems even the changelings are worried about the thing that's infecting them. Maybe we might see a small unification or a rogue changeling just wanting to escape from this infectious fungus?
---> (14) An idea I had. So you know how the changelings just want to use mares as incubators, and how big hips equals easier child birth? Maybe just maybe whenever they capture a mare that's too young to be bred, they inject a serum that is designed to cause a mare's hips to increase so that pregnancies could be 'easier'?
Like we know that if they were truly monsters, they would've bred Lightning when she was a filly, but changelings seem to have standards. And they seem to feed the captives only to keep them alive at least. Maybe Lightning had been injected with this, and as she recovers from not having the best diet, (I imagine mares who became incubators get slightly more and better food?) her hips grow? XD
Just a random idea I came up with. Because she will eventually fill up naturally after going back into average weight (she's probably underweight now), so maybe this is what could happen to her?
Beatrix isn't a prostitute, she is a Depraved Slut. There is a difference. (Not that I mind, but it's pretty obvious that it gets her into more trouble than it's worth.)
Folklore will give Beatrix so much shit for basically sending the Mi-Go Emperium a signal flare pointing to the vulnerabilities of the multiverse. (At least it's what I think is happening.)
Though as a militaristic/investigative vigilante character he is pretty damn pragmatic and will lock her in with him in a lab with all the available data and they aren't getting out until a way to close that vulnerability in the multiverse is figured out. They are basically going to take turns in a small shower and live of Chow Mein Noodles, coffee, and water. Not to mention so much paper, pencil-lead, and chalk on several blackboards are going to be filled with the sort of Equations that are going to make a few astrophysicists and engineers turn to alcoholism.
He probably is also going to tease her endlessly for pissing him off and deny her any release. Because that is what you get for dooming us all Beatrix.
11259524 Due to the Demiurge inside her (A cosmic entity with infinite potential for growth), Beatrix is sadly a magnet for all things eldritch in nature. She's saved and cost many lives on her travels, but hopefully Arcanum Folklore will be able to help her master her abilities!
11259448 Yes, Beatrix gives them contraceptive potions with the maximum dose, otherwise Midnight would have knocked up his herd (And various other mares!) for sure!
11260036 Yep! Otherwise things might've become complicated with Oona and Doppia, more so with Doppia because the former scene could be avoided while here they'll have to take into account the two foals.
Wouldn't it be better to just give a breif summary in the first chapter? And what's a "Mi-Go Cordyceps"?

Hello!
11259391
We’ll no, because both this story and Undeath & Rebirth take place at the same time. They’re ongoing.
It’s essentially a mind controlling fungus, a parasite that targets arthropods.
11259445
Oh? All right.

Damn. Man is devoted to his cause!
Nicely done and interesting to see lily longsocks here.

11260022
Yep! Imagine he's able to break through those protections though. :0
11260027
Thank goodness Beatrix trained in alchemy with Flurry Heart!

Yep! Otherwise things might've become complicated with Oona and Doppia, more so with Doppia because the former scene could be avoided while here they'll have to take into account the two foals.
