Fate and prophesy can be funny things. Sometimes harmony and magic can be a bit unpredictable.
Starswirl's last prophecy was unclear as the greatest spell caster of his day had notoriously bad horn-writing and was equally bad at only writing down half of what he saw in visions.
For generations Princess Celestia has been subtly manipulating the lives of her ponies for generations, using a combination of Starswirl's prophesies and her own foresight to get the outcome she wanted. But she forgot the three most important rules about trying to manipulate future events: 1) The future is like a river. It follows its own currents and makes its own path. 2) The future is always in motion and is next to impossible to predict with any certainty. 3) The very act of viewing the future changes it.
This story is an AU from the main MLP:FiM starting with a deviation from the episode Magical Mystery Cure.
It all started with a single question: What if it was the Mane 6 that became alicorns and not just Twilight?
It's rated T for mild violence.
EDIT: June 7, 2023 By Celestia's glorious sun! This story went featured within a couple of hours of posting!
EDIT: October 29, 2023 This story got featured again!
This got very interesting.
I smell something good *sniff 💦
Ok, the idea is interesting and I am looking forward to how you pull it off.
i can't wait to read how rainbow will react on how she will become a alicorn princess
nice look forward to more
Guat?! XD
That's how Starswirl would write "What." definitely xD
I apreciate (not sure how its spelled) that your not rushing into the ascensions.
I am also really hoping you have Celly have major reactions to the ascensions? That would be great drama!
I didn’t expect for her to take it so seriously.
That’s not too bad.
Great premise but I think giving pinkie pie alicorn magic could spell the end of reality
Just don't turn canon villains into chumps whose only purpose is to be stepped on by the collective Alicorn might.
Great chapter

It's sort of like what happened in this video, though I don't know which is more funnier being Twilight not too happy about the rest being alicorns or Luna feeling that she is shorter than the rest.
11603709
What would Alicorn magic centered around laughter even look like? She can already do anything as long as the result is funny to someone, and that's a lot of wiggle room.
I'm just confirming things here. This is the description that you see when you see it elsewhere.
And this in the description here.
So does that mean all of them became Alicorns? If so then would it be that Sparkle isn't the only one who ascends instead? Or did you mean everyone but Twilight ascended? Just curious about the semantics, I'll probably read this at some point, just would like this understood for my peace of mind. :P

All 6. Made a minor oopsie.

Won't it be funny if the world just went boom
I require Alicorn Spike.
11604122
“Did somebody say boom!?”
Cue Credits

pinkie pie you blew up the world
Interesting concept. The editing needs major polishing, but it is otherwise written well for the first chapter of a saga.
This is gonna be amusing.
Will the prophecy stuff include Spike in it too?
nice work
Interesting so far.
I’m starting to think that luna is the wisest of the two.
So do they all have wings and a horn yet or is that coming later?
11611947
That will come later. Their ascensions will be a bit more gradual.
So Spike was part of the spell too?
What transformation he will get too?
Huh. Well, I was not expecting things to happen this way.
Huh wasn't expecting Spike to be part of the spell alongside the Mane 6, wonder if he'll go though changes like the rest of the cast?
That sibling bit between Spike/Twilight at the beginning was golden, excellent work!
Nice story
I mean it did happen in Ponyville so it is technically a part of Ponyville's history
11613404
True.
Your pony swears are commendable, you pickle sniffing mother apple eater.
Until next chapter, Klaatu Barada Nikto.
(or however you wish to spell it).
That was a good story goodluck with the rest of it.
Hey, u planning on updating this anytime soon?
11719979
Working on it. I'm also working on other stories at the same time.
Wait really?
Fair.
They should’ve been gotten that.
What are those?
bloody hell, took ya long enough
11734430
Some of those are references going all the way back to G1.
11734437
I write at my own pace, so meh.
nice looking forward to the next chapter
11734430
Considering it's unicorns with the psychic ability and earth got strength.
11734458
But at first it said earth ponies had psychic powers.
11734452
You mean the clan part?
11734462
Yeah I think the author made a mistake cause this is a fact that any fan can tell. Earth for strength and unicorns for magic and psychic ability and Pegasus for the sky. Pinkie though is the exception to the rules and that is all the rules including the rules of space and time.
11734463
Yeah.
