Ed obviously never saw the Evil Overlord List. Item #34: I will not turn into a snake. It never helps.
Edit:
Oh good, I'm not the only fic author who uses this gag.
Great as usual, now just need to wait another week for a dose of cure... Boss lady day is approaching
Hyped for the Canterlot Arc!
I believe Solar may have just topped Cure in the prank department. Well done young stallion, well done.
I hadn't noticed any additional tension between Cure and Dawn, when did that pick up?
Looking forward to the Canterlot arc, it's shaping up to be a hoot.

nice chapter
I wonder if all the current adults would be upset if it turns out everyone gets an active bit and they missed the boat on their full potential

I think he meant Rising?
Y'mean kinda like he did with figuring out Earth Pony magic and then ask everyone to keep quiet about it? Or anypony agreeing to?
Honestly his secretiveness is starting to come across as a character flaw.
Relaxed Cure is way more enjoyable than conspiracy-evading one : )
Great story so far, definitely will go into my favs folder : )
I feel, we need a friendship/relationship chart to keep up with Cure....
also issues with Dawn? When did that happen??
Cure asked Dawn what Coast's issue with him is because the two are friends. He's not bumping heads with Dawn. Apologies if it was poorly worded. I may change a pronoun into a proper name to clarify next time I get a chance.
I was all packed and ready for the train to Canterlot, but this date with Ferric is a welcome diversion, plus SHE GETS HER TALENT ACTIVATED!!! So awesome!
I read it as “…asked Dawn what her(Delta’s) deal…” “She (Delta) apparently…”
11534818
That may be the point.
awesome chapter, i do have to wander why no pony so far has never develop`d what cure was showing feric today
dawn feric rising glacial drift really need to have a talk and get together to latch a "hoofband" to the poor colt
Convincing world-building with the smithy and all that entails, particularly the hearing and vision loss.
That little POV switch to Emerald and Solar was excellent.
Good little sanity check to see an "outsider's" perspective.

Was literally thinking this too, like I swear last time they were together they where being all snuggly and stuff. Maybe it's meant to be Rising like Lupus said.
Weirdly enough changing an apple to an orange or one element to another doesn't actually violate physics.
From a science fiction standpoint it would be equivalent of dematerializing it in a transporter and converting it to pure energy and then just rewriting it to what you want (assuming mass is constant... now if you want increased mass then you need to get into zero point weirdness).
That could science fiction wise even be handwaved with something akin to altering a probability field....
For known science:
You could make an orange from an apple do so the really hard way by planting an orange seed in a compost entirely made from apples in an airtight system with all gases made from decomposing apples. You'd still need light input (which you could also get from apples even if you really wanted to (building a voltaic cell to power a light, burning them to produce energy, etc...). Not impossible just really really inefficient.
Changing one element to another already actually happens with radioactive decay/fission/fusion. Technically all elements are made from hydrogen anyways, as long as you were just switching around subatomic particles that is a doable thing. You really can make lead into gold, it is just involves bombarding lead with neutrons until it knocks off enough protons to make a gold atom. Just once again very inefficient.

Well, list appeared somewhere around 1999-2000 and he could watch Alladin cartoon much earlier

Same pony time...same pony channel!
"Why is that Mr. Angle?"
"Well, back in '87 I had a unicorn friend who gave me my 1st smithing hammer, to celebrate my birthday and getting my mark. I was so happy i scooped him up and gave him a big hug as a thank you. According to witnesses, since my eyes were closed, his face turned red before erm.... well, imagine squeezing a tube of toothpaste REALLY hard."
“Serpentis Limbus!”
I am still wondering where Cadence and Sunset fit during this time
I'm waiting for him to turn himself into Celestia for a prank at the castle.
11535421
No spoilers!
Thanks for the update!
11535487
Sunset might be a few decades off yet but Cadance is a complete unknown. Going to the filly-Twilight flashbacks, Cadance appeared as a teen/young adult so it stands to reason she is also about the same age as Sunset. If I had to guess a year for Sunset's birth I'd put it at +960 (+980 when Twilight is born and 1000 when NMM escapes). Question is, what year is it right now? If Cure can find that out, the rest will fall into place quickly.
On a side note, would Cure interfere with what he knows about Applejack's parents and save them from dying around 980? Assuming he interacts with the girls later and Applejack finds out he knew and could have saved them easily, would she then resent him? I guess that also sorta applies to Derpy's lazy eye and Scootaloo's lack of flight. (Sadly, not even Cure could help Sweetiebell in the kitchen)
11534761
…Do you mean for the ‘Activated’ Cutie Marks? Because Cure’s parents are able to connect with their marks just fine.
11535636
I think it’s 909. Still a little ways off from canon characters interacting besides the Boss Lady. I suspect the fanon reason Granny Smith lasts so long will be Cure Wave. The teacher in town could be Granny’s youngest sister for all we know (if there is one).
I am pretty sure the parents in town are going to start encouraging their fillies towards Cure. Emerald sure as sugar will be now! Keep practicing that sax, Rising. Maybe a Canterlot serenade epic sax-style?
Very glad Ferric got some one-on-one! Her master was impressed. Now he’s going to be ecstatic. She’ll revolutionize the skills with Cure’s notes.
Wonderful chapter! So excited for the big meeting!! <-starting to think Pinkie will be related to MC…
11535655
yeah, but that's a pretty small sample size to say - everyone - gets an effect
Wooo!....finally bucking caught up
Whew.
I can't wait for more tho
This story is frigin amazing!
One thing I'm looking forward to most is the tree thieves to unveil their new groundbreaking invention only for the guards or even Celestia herself to step up and say to everyone watching that it was already patented and reported stolen, making the thieves look like jackasses.
11535636
Actually, depending on Sweetiebells problem, maybe lack of horn control, he COULD help with that because he's already improved horn control in at least one of his friends and himself with the special dragonfly muscles.
Ultimately I think it's mostly just a gag and has no specific reason for occurring, and whatever reason LFOD comes up with assuming the story even goes that far or even involves sweetiebell at all, would have to be determined then.
Good chapter!

Don't forget, she's a unicorn too, and unicorns tend to be far more monogamous then the other tribes. I think.
11534977
It might just be me personally but also with
Because Delta Coasts name was never mentioned in this paragraph this reinforced that I thought he was talking about Dawn with her being the last name mentioned, glad it got cleared up in the comments as i do love Dawn and Cures little dynamic
Ahhhh too cute love the ch thank u 💖💖💖💖
There is atv show called forged ing fire where you get 2 different 3 hour windows to design and fabricate a knife the first half is forging to meet set parameters set at the beginning the second window is for adding the hand and finishing touches that is 6 hour for one knife and few people are able to make that 10 minutes is like a factory floor set up where one knife spends ten minutes being fabricated and even then I belive it would take longer to hea ten minutes is "cheating" as cure would put it.
God damn it that sounds cute. Lol potty dance incoming!

The way I understand from some of the earlier chapters, is that Earth Ponies, the over-sexed little fuzzballs that they are, are the most Polygamous of the three tribes, with Pegasi being somewhere in the middle. Then there are the Unicorns who, for some odd reason, are more monogamous than what the other two tribes are.
I'm also pretty sure that Crosswind Drift is a Pegasus filly, not a Unicorn filly. That was the filly who I was referring to, so she falls somewhere in the middle of the "polygamy curve." Though I suspect that quite a few mares/fillies, given a chance, would want to have a stallion/colt all to themselves regardless of their tribe.

If I was in Cure Wave's place, there would not be a crippled Scootaloo, a cross eyed Derpy/Ditzy, two Apple family members gome before their time, or a rogue Sunset Shimmer with a rather large ax to grind in the future.
I'd make sure that Scootaloo would have the chance to live a normal life as a Pegasus, as she has every right to, and not have to constantly look at all of the other pegasi flying around and at her small, stunted wings and be constantly reminded that she is basically a cripple who will never fly. Or in the distant chance that she did, she would never be able to fly properly as she should be able to.
I'd make sure Bright Mac and Pear Butter didn't end up "buying the farm" prematurely, as they both did in the show; preventing Big Macintosh, Applebloom and Applejack from all being orphaned as kids.
I'd also make it a point to fix Derpy's/Ditzy's little eye issue as well, as in most stories she is a really sweet girl and just doesn't deserve being saddled with such a medical issue.
Then I'd make it my personal mission to be friends with Sunset Shimmer, to keep her from becoming bitter, hateful and arrogant; or at the very least help to keep that behavior to a minimum. If I had to, assuming that she already knew about the mirror portal or had just found out about it, then I'd fess up on my secret.
Then I'd show her the first "Equestria Girls" movie, to give her an idea of what may end up happening if she actually goes through the portal, try to try and prevent her from going through it or at least get her to rethink her decision.
If I couldn't stop her I'd at least get her to take one of those magical books with her, that her and Twilight use to communicate with each other, so she could stay in contact with me (if she didn't want to keep in contact with Celestia) and Equestria while she was gone instead of just dropping off the radar.
Along with encouraging her to go not for her original reason, but instead to go and explore a whole new world and meet new people and discover all the new things that world had and could offer to her. So she could broaden her horizons and maybe learn a few new things along the way.
Hell, who knows? Maybe me being in Cure's place and interfering with Sunset in such a way would put her on a path, that when the portal opened up again she would come back through a changed girl/mare and be absolutely overjoyed to be back home and see everyone again. Along with her being happy to meet both her fellow student of Celestia and the newest princess and all of her friends, along with Luna and Cadance.
Maybe after she came back, she wouldn't even come back through the portal as a Unicorn mare in that situation, but as an Alicorn mare and Equestria's other newest princess instead. That would most definitely shock everyone to silence, most definitely Sunset herself, Twilight, Celestia, Cadance, me and Luna.
Cure Wave keeps habitually fixing people and handing out money, does he have any social contacts that do not have any debt of gratitude that is based on him healing or doing something else to someone?
It could just be in my mind but he might be looking for approval of others by doing things for them a tad bit too much.
Edit:
Meh it was partly addressed later in the chapter, but she does have a valid point.
Reminds me of Popeye bending metal with his bare fists while making a chain.

oh that might not be a good idea
it could screw up the timeline real bad
Pretty neat, and I feel obliged to declare that Smith Wife is a favored trope of mine.
Ah! So the cutie marks are biological runes, and runes are the written expression of magic in the form of musical notes, thus "harmony"!
That's so deeply insightful into the show's underlying theme--either the show's creators never knew the potential story material they could have mined from the idea, or they just didn't have enough time to develop such deeper and mature concepts before FIM's plug was pulled.
Seriously!?
NOT giving the proper response is borderline criminal, dude!

I remember when that list came out! Clearly a reference to "Conan The Barbarian", good movie and great rule.
However, even back then, I realized there needed to be a caveat to it-- "#34 Amended: I will not turn into a snake, unless it's for a very good reason, such as to get in or out of a locked room. I will at all costs, avoid turning into a snake where someone might see it, since keeping the ability a secret can be certainly be advantageous to my future health. Furthermore, I will NEVER turn into a snake during a banquet held in my honor."
I am going to treasure these bits like my own child, i swear to the LORD
