Cure finally spilled most of his guts of knowledge. At least my earlier Omake of a more private meeting seems more accurate here.
I'm surprised and glad Celestia didn't know what bed bugs were, bed bugs freaking suck, good to know equestrians don't have to deal them. Her reaction though was fantastic.
I thought this story had an cover image.
~Cure did the Feynman thing! Cure did the Feynman thing!~
Take care! Great story so far, I foresee a lot of future shenanigans with Cure and the world. Looking forward for seeing more of said world inner workings : )
I guess the butt of the sun hasn't exactly guessed most of the details surrounding that death cure admitted to yet.
Another grand chapter. Funny how letting the characters be characters can sometimes elongate things beyond what you expected.
Hope the few weeks off is nice to you, and thanks for making this nice story.
Between 64 and 65 i reread the whole story, and let me say this. This is one of my favorite ones and i don't know how i will survive till next chapter. You're doing amazing, keep it up :)
Very nice, loving the story! Also I need some art of the picture Celestia and Cure took, in my mind it looks so good but I can’t fully picture it clearly and it sucks!
Anyways keep up the awesome work and thanks for making Monday suck less.
It's too bad that Cure lost all his upgrades, though on the other hoof he doesn't technically need them anymore.
Also, I feel like part of Cure's response to teasing about having a foal with the Boss Lady is because (seeing that he saw her reaction when he told her that it's impossible for her to conceive with a regular pony) he knows that it'll most likely eventually happen, and he doesn't want to think about that right now.
Absolutely loving the story, I wish you happy travels and a safe return.
No exploding!
Edit: I particularly loved the opening of this chapter, instantly had me smirking. The rest of the chapter kept me smiling as well. While I will miss this till the release in June, I am more thankful for the promise that any hiatus will be announced.
awesome chapter
i love how you write celestia
and how cure and her interact

I'll assume unicorns have spells to keep the creepycrawlies out of a room (wish I did!) and since this is Celestia, naturally she has the best of the best for her chambers. I'll also assume fleas are still a thing out in the podunk towns where running water is when the bucket tips over.
11579097
Don't worry I'm pretty sure Cure will have his upgrades back up in no time. In fact, they'll be even better now with the alicorn, dragon, zebra and minotaur scans.
And Cure having foals with Princess Celestia is all but a matter of time now, but well, he's 8 so acknowledging that fact is really awkward.
cure's just gotta get all the alabaster alicorn cuddles he can. first, he snuggles the sun, then in 60 to 70 years he can snuggle the love, then he can snuggle the moon, after that he will have to wait a few years before he can snuggle the magic. then he can complete the set by snuggling the merchandising. the end result is a alicorn tier cuddle pile. world domination? feh! the only goal that matters is the legendary alicorn cuddle pile!
11579097
He could also just....trick her egg ang give it a bit of random DNA so he does not have to specifically do anything with her to get her pregnant....also he can just re add the upgrades that being an alicorn do not cover..
Also I read the authors note and I got to say I feel the same way...like with a weapon for hire...but that guy is really fucking busy with irl work aparently...but it's been YEARS since he last updated so...yea that story is probably not going to continue...
Well… SHIT!
Going to be a long three (ish/give or take/we’ll just have to wait and see) weeks. Have fun! Send a postcard or something if you think of it
NO. Sell BELOW market rates, UNDERCUT local farmers. Put them OUT of buisness, BUY UP their land, TAKE OVER THE MARKET. EXTEND EQUESTRIAN DOMINANCE.
Thanks for the update!
Amazing chapter as always. Do we have any artwork or a detailed description of his new mark yet?
You were right, this story does give monday a reason to exist, I'm a little sad that it'll be about a month until the next chapter, but it's definitely worth it. I'd rather have a small hiatus than to see such a good writer burn out.
I hope you enjoy your trip, and I'm excited for the next chapter.
11578924
Or as I like to call it, 3rd method of lying. There are 3 modes of lying: First is the outright lie. Second is by omission, and the third is the most difficult to pull oof. You tell the whole, complete, unvarnished truth, just in a way that no one believes you.
Awesome chapter!
The story has been a joy to read, and I am glad for the update. It is irritating to wait two years for another chapter and then get 'I don't have the will to continue this' with nothing else being said. The promise of closure is appreciated.
I have to say, this story is one thing that I look forward to every week. Like, legitimately, "I'm happy at work on a Monday because when I get home I can read a new chapter of Life Finds a Way" level of looking forward to it.
It's going to be sad not having that for a couple weeks here, but honestly as it is you've given us an incredible amount. 7-15k word chapters per week? Insane, dude.
Enjoy your month of rest. You more than deserve it, you absolute madlad.
11579231
Yep, you could say technically anything and everything that Cure can possibly experience is just a matter of time now. Assuming an Alicorn's life is truly infinite, everything that can happen, will happen... Eventually.
i am enjoying the story. i admit that ill miss the story for the hiatus, brief as it may be. but i do look forward to the story picking up once more.
11579233
It's not an Isekai without a harem, and what better harem to have in Equestria than the Alicorn posse? I mean granted he's already building his harem, but Alicorns is bestest. Oh, but since it's a common fan thing to have Cadence call Celestia 'auntie' would she call Cure 'uncle'? Hmm, what if Cure becomes involved in the conception of Flurry Heart? As in, it's through his intervention that Cadence gives birth to an Alicorn? Would that made Cure 'dad' to Shining's 'sire' if Cure is Cadence's 'uncle'? Does the word 'dad' exist in this Equestria? I don't know, maybe I'm just making it more confusing than it has to be. And maybe I'm just not making any sense.
11579393
makes sense to me
Why is it that I can only imagine Cure sending a letter to Celestia that only has a drawing of Shulk and the words "I'm really feeling it!" when it happens? He hella doesn't even know about Xenoblade.
I feel called out by that AN, lol. I have a story 99% done and all the lose ends are pretty much tied up but have had little to no desire to do anything with it for years.
11579393
Cherry and Lotus call Deed their dad. Cure uses "dad" when directly addressing Deed but refers to him as his sire otherwise. The girls would not do that as he is not their sire.
From Ch. 60, Celestia speaking:
In your hypothetical I think Cure and Celestia would have to be married for Cadance to call him uncle. Or he would have to ask her to call him that. I can't envision him doing that, though.
11578918
Nope. I don't plan on commissioning any art, either. It was suggested that I look into creating a Patreon account and do so, but I am not interested in dealing with any of that stuff. I don't know if there's tax implications and I definitely don't want to deal with that.
As a side note, I suspect that adding art and altering the story so it's rated T would significantly increase the readership, but maximizing that is not my goal.
If someone wants to create art for the story they are welcome to do so. I recognize how time consuming that is, though, so I have no expectations of anyone doing that. If I had any artistic talent I might give it a try myself, but I don't and I would rather write or play video games in my downtime, so... *shrug*

His mark is a green serpent wrapped around the trunk of a white, five-branched depiction of the Tree of Harmony. Switch the rod out with the tree and have the branches above the serpent and you basically have it.
11579479
I could see Cadence, having been told to call Celestia Auntie, asking the other alicorn that hangs around sometimes if she could call him Uncle. He wouldn’t ask her to, but he might accept the honor if offered.
Thank you for posting!
Also, thank you for letting us know your plans. I too dislike when authors suddenly stop, with no explanation. I understand real life can be a bitch, but letting the readers know something/anything is a big help to us all.
I actually feel better knowing that if you decide to stop writing this story, we (the readers) will at least get some follow-up.
We'll miss the updates until early June, but we understand. Good luck on your endeavours!
As for the story:
Yes! I love when the protagonist somehow gets Celestia to swear. I always find that to be hilarious.
And when she broke down upon hearing that her sister will eventually return... something got in my eyes at that exact moment, because they were watering.
I still love your portrayal of Celestia. She's everything I believe she is in my head cannon.
I hope she remains a big part of the story.
I didn't think Cure would tell her everything that he knows. But he's right, "knowing is half the battle."
It still remains to be seen if they should take a hands off approach of upcoming events or actually do something about them. Even slight alterations can be world changing due to the butterfly effect.
And wether Cure wants to admit it or not, he's a leader.
It showed especially when even dead tired, he had his meeting-he explained what needed to be said and then dismissed everyone, even high ranking military personnel, like he was their prince.
He may not realize it, but he's the second most important being on the planet right now.
I also hope he finds time to decompress and absorb everything that just happened. Even with an adult mind, he can only take so much. At some point he needs to say "fuck everything, I'm going on vacation." Of course, maybe going to school and doing normal school-boy things is a vacation for him?
You already get this a lot, but I'm also going to say that I enjoy reading this story. It's one of my faves, and it gives me something to look forward to on Mondays.

From the chapter Canterlot
Cure opted to have his registration restricted to government agencies, so a random reporter should have a difficult time accessing them without a real good reason.
"So this is what its like to die huh, and at the hooves of Dawn no less....... no clue what that gobbledegook she said was, but why did I say 'nani'?"
--------------------------------------
It's not just the vernacular either, remember she broke so many windows with a laugh, imagine the destruction a passionate scream would bring. I doubt even a sound bubble would help
---------------------------------
I can see the future now: Cure's sister gets jealous of his alicornhood. Cure gifts his
gundumalicorn suit and they lived an action packed lives forever after.It is true what you have mentioned. It has come to a point where I now just wait until a good number of chapters or word count has reached, along with the update frequency between each chapters.
This is basically what I did for Life Finds A Way.
An alternate requirement, if the above are not applicable, I look at the author's profile and see how many fics they have done, not done, and last updated on. Sometimes, I find out the interesting story is from a late author. Bless their souls.
I like to thank you for giving us a heads up on what the future might bring on you or this story. If there is no update... well... I would like to thank you for everything before anything unfortunate happens.
Thank you, LiveFreeOrDie.
Ps. Which time zone monday? If it is from the land of the rising sun's Monday, I believe they are ahead of everyone if the name is to be implied, it is awesome! If a western Monday... well, seeing on Tuesday is probably a big up from Monday but not as impactful.
This punched me in the feels real good. The emotions of the celestial objects and the timing of the sun’s light are very interesting details to me. Makes me wonder if the Equestrian sun and moon are artificial constructs to continue life on Equus after somehow losing their original system.
The games and results of the investigation will be fun.
I wonder if Vines’ parents will show up sometime soon.
Grandpa Brick is going to drop a brick when he reads the news in the paper!! Celestia is totally going to tear her bed apart. lol
When is Cadence supposed to rescue that village? I wonder how active Celestia will be preparing for the future or if she’ll just hang out with Cure and let Harmony take the wheel. Maybe he’ll help mentor Cadence and really develop her character?
Well done, Author! Thank you for writing. We’ll see you on the other side!!
Man, I don’t think I’ve been treated this good before by an author.
- Always eating good when a chapter gets uploaded (big chapters)
- Chapters are uploaded on a consistent schedule
- Quality is high and consistent
- Assurance by the author of future chapter progress
- Author always apologizing for writing too much
- Good Fucking Story
Cure's inner demons, tempting him to do/say something hilarious next time he's in Canterlot:
11579604
It would be difficult, but not impossible. Especially with the highly unusual restriction on placed on an 8 year old’s CM registration form.
Let’s look at it like this: very few ponies in Equestria have seen through Celestia’s “Sunny Skies” disguise because they have had no reason to suspect “Sunny” is anyone other than she appears to be.
That is not going to be the case with “Serpentus.” From the get go, it will be announced by the crown, with photographic evidence, that “Prince Serpebtus” is an alias being used to obscure his true identity.
That announcement does three things:
1) It makes the question of “What is Serpentus’s true identity?” the story of the century.
Who is this apparent 8 - 9 year old colt? Where did he come from? Why hasn’t anything been heard about him until now? What else has he done to warrant being crowned a prince aside from being born? How is/was he hiding?
Those are all questions begging to be answered by this announcement.
2) The announcement makes it crystal clear Serpentus is a colt.
3) The photograph gives two very important additional clues. The first clue gives his apparent age of 8-9 years old. The second clue shows that he has a cutie mark.
The first two steps any pony needs to do to figure out who Serpentus is—based on the assumption Serpentus has also been in hiding—are as follows:
1) Look up the birth records of every single colt born 8 - 9 years ago. Given the 6:1 gender ratio favoring fillies over colts, this list is both finite and short.
2) Cross reference that list with their cutie mark registration. Any colt without a CM is immediately crossed off the list. Any colt with CM registration documentation has their CM compared against Serpentus’s.
Any CM documentation that is restricted throws up an immediate red flag for further investigation.
Remember, birth certificates and CM registration documents are normally public documents. A restricted CM registration might not be uncommon, but it is unusual.
So while the CM registration would have the info right there, the fact it is restricted along with the additional public evidence provided by crown, gives an investigative reporter enough info to narrow down the list of potential suspects to include Cure Wave.
Cure Wave’s business is also quite public, and its cosmetic services—altering any pony’s physical appearance permanently as well as healing any minor ailments—are getting extremely well known in his home town and in Baltimare.
Especially the services that go beyond mere coat/mane/feather color changes.
In 2!weeks after the announcement, an investigative reporter worth their salt from Baltimare could have zeroed in on Cure Wave as either somehow involved with hiding Serpentus or is suspecting him to be Serpentus.
An additional two weeks after that interviewing the local townsponies, collecting stories about Cure’s very public hyjinks, possibly discovering stories about young unknown Pegasus and Unicorn colts showing up randomly in town with some impressive magic and flight abilities while hanging out with some of Cure’s friend group on a semi regular basis, and possibly experiencing Cure’s services themselves (which could be used as a tax write off as part of investigating this story. Just imagine Cure’s reaction to that) and the story would be fully investigated and vetted prior to publication as front page news in the Baltimare Sun.
Every single journalist in Equestria will be investigating this story. To be the first pony to identify and tell the back story of their new prince. Cure most likely has about 4 weeks before that happens.
Heck, something else that would add further credence to Cure being Serpentus would probably come from Prince Blueblood. The poor unicorn would probably vent out his frustrations one day about Serpentus being an Earth Pony prior to becoming an Alicorn.
Which is info Cure gave Blueblood himself.
The funniest thing is Cure is so freaking paranoid about his privacy and ponies knowing the full extent of his abilities while at the same time being a typical 8 year old showing off the new toy his has. He hasn’t left a trail of breadcrumbs but more so paved a yellow brick road leading straight to him should anypony decide to investigate Serpentus’s origins.
Which every reporter in the country will decide to do.
It will be hysterical to watch the fallout from Cure’s own negligence unfold and impact his life. Drastic changes will occur in his life a lot sooner than he and probably everypony close to him thought they would. And as he reads the articles revealing his identity to the world, he will have no pony to blame but himself.
[Apologies if "Not Cool", LFOD please feel free to delete if so]
Just in time for the hiatus, if anyone else is about to go through alicornified human in Equestria withdrawl, Hiver's next volume is about to come out. The proofreading isn't as good, but it's a fun story so far, and we usually get daily updates for as long as each book lasts. We're pretty far off the original timeline at this point, so any new readers will want to start at the beginning.
11579231
They might want to hold off on that until after Luna has returned and been reformed. I don't think Nightmare Moon would too be happy if she finds out Celestia has reproduced in her absence. The last thing Celestia and Cure need is having their foals taken hostage by her. Afterwards, though, it wouldn't surprise me if Luna wants foals as well.
11579878
Duplicate words
I'm surprised he told celestia as much as he did but didn't tell her the full story, i'd thought if he were to go as far as he did he'd have just told her the rest.
11579231
Since Alicorns aren't able to reproduce normally with other ponies, Celestia may ask Cure to "stud" for her, though far as them being in any actual committed relationship? That's up in the air right now. It's a possibility it may happen at some point, but it isn't a certainty it will.
Its either that or if she finds a stallion she is interested in at some point, then she may just ask Cure to do her a favor and have him "adjust" the guy's family jewels so he can give Celestia foals.
Even if they don't end up being little Alicorns, I really don't think Celestia is going to give a single damn, so long as they are her actual biological children. Either way I bet she will be absolutely thrilled with finally being able to have children and becoming a mother.
11581016
I can imagine, depending on the situation, that Nightmare/Luna could end up becoming absolutely furious once she figured out that Celestia had children during her banishment.
That will likely end up being very true if Luna tried to have children of her own and was, as Celestia has been previously, unsuccessful in all of her attempts. Especially if she really wanted to have children (possibly to try and find some genuine love, appreciation, and acceptance right before she truly descended into her "Nightmare" phase)
and her desire for foals was repeatedly denied.
She might take that as a huge slap in the face, as say, her sister showing her that Celestia is better than her and will always have things she will never even have a hope of having for herself.
Or as Harmony itself telling her the same thing and that it deemed her sister it's favorite and her completely unworthy of its favor in the slightest.
Though, I hope when Luna finally does come back and is purified, her and Celestia can sit down and have a very serious talk about them both potentially expanding their family and adding new potential heirs to the royalty of their nation.
11579878
Yeah, Celestia breaking down as she did? It really got under my skin, because her and Luna (most versions of them anyway) are two of my favorite pones and I absolutely HATE seeing them really sad or breaking down in such a way.
As for what Celestia will do with the information Cure gave her about future events? Who knows. Because there are a few things that will effect how things turn out in the future.
1. If it isn't the "Prime" universe he is in, as the Equestria portrayed on the show could be considered. Then Cure Wave is in an alternate version (or AU) of Equestria and it's quite possible that events will end up happening differently than what Cure has seen. With some events possibly not even taking place at all or entirely new ones not seen before happening or ponies that exist in "Prime" not existing here (Starlight Glimmer was never born for example and all the events that happened because of her never end up happening) or new ones popping up.
2. With just his mere presence in Equestria, Cure has possibly only worsened any previous divergences in the Au Equestria's future and the events in it from the "Prime" Equestria.
3. If you know of potential future events and act on that information in any way to try and change them even the slightest bit, then the future will change because of it and things will possibly happen that didn't before. A decent example of that is when on DragonBall Z, Trunks used a time machine to travel back into the past to try and change it and ended up changing things in ways he didn't ever expect, such as the Androids being a lot stronger than they were supposed to originally be. So Cure revealing Equestria's potential future to Celestia has possibly only worsened any previous divergences in Equestria's future again, causing the events yet to happen to change even further.
So if you take all of that into account, it's very possible that the future of the Equestria Cure is currently in, will be drastically different from the future he saw would come to pass in "Prime" Equestria.
11582316
Unless Cure is in Prime Equestria, and the show canon we know isn’t?… bum bum buu~m lol idk. I have no clue how this is going to unfold, but I think it’s going to be amazing!!
11582387
Even if he did end up in the "Prime" version of Equestria, both his existence there and him spilling the beans to Celestia about Equestria's furure and any action he takes using that information to affect the future will still end up changing it.
Though I can agree that the future of this Equestria and what will happen is still a mystery, an interesting and exciting one at that. We'll all just have to wait and see exactly which sort of AU this will end up becoming and what kind of shenanigans the author has in store for us in the future with Cure Wave.
Wow this story is amazing. I love your work and can't wait for more. Like when he finally meets cadance, luna, the girls but also love the slower style.
11582581
Author could set it up in such a way that cure is in Prime EQ… Like maybe cure is the one who grew the golden oaks library and Fluttershy’s cottage and setup ponyvill in the first place. Or maybe he is why celestial is always chill in prime EQ, because she knows cure is there as backup. Really with how well this story is setup it doesn’t clash with prime EQ much at all yet.
