BirdBodhisattva


Presently "importing" Esquestria: The House of the Sun from another site. Will attempt to bring maybe three updates per day, until it is caught up.

Ohhh finally here I see.

This is interesting please continue.

Long term fan back on SV. Keep up the good work.

TRIGGER WARNINGS:
This story talks about dark things, including but not limited to:
-Violence
-Death
-Suicide
-Rape
-Abusive relationships
-Gore
-Racism
-Mental health issues
-Horror
-Other, potentially disturbing issues

Not pulling any punches uh... God, I hope she makes it out of this okay.


Also, I believe you may have misspelled Equestria in the title. I don't know if this is intentional or not.

this was... very good.

One of the ponies she had invited left, then and there, and you never heard of him again. But the others, together with you, she later invited to a meeting of a "group" she was part of.

That guy has no idea the massive bullet he probably just dodged.

Ah, a Moth cult could very well suit Rarity, especially season one Rarity.

An Infestation of Worms, abominable and quite critically worrisome. My goodness me though, she's quite the up-and-coming Moth adept, verra sneaky.

A Heart cultist so blatantly missing the beat, for shame. Fortunately our intrepid Moth was able to patch things together.

this whole rolling system actually adds tension cause I know things might go wrong, rather than having the safety net of, the author won't let X happen.

I read it all the way through, cool story. Have no clue what all those trigger warnings were about unless all that is supposed to happen later.

Thank you for reading it!

And the story is actually a lot longer. I am slowly transferring it here from somewhere else. So the trigger warnings definitely will be relevant only later.

I've read the full version of this on another site and it was quite enjoyable to read. I'm a sucker for Secret Histories stuff and a crossover with MLP was initially a weird concept but you managed to mix the two in an interesting way, I'm not a huge Moth fan myself yet I found myself really liking how you portrayed it's vibes, especially in regards to the Master and the Woods.

Honestly the story is in the top 5 Quests I've ever read, keep up the good work BirdBodhisattva and I'm really curious to see how the story continues. Highly recommended.

On what site did you find the full version and do you know where I can find similar novels

11793696
I found this particular work on a website called "Sufficient Velocity" in the Quests section.

In regards to Similar Novels there are two ways you may mean, first being this story as a Quest which is a story where the audience can vote on what occurs in the narrative and you will find various Quests on the previously mentioned website Sufficient Velocity and on Spacebattles.

Second being the contents of the story itself, I'm sorry to say that the sub-genre is rather scarce. Esquestria: THotS is based on the game Cultist Simulator/Book of Hours, works with rather unique tone. Unfortunately fanfics based on these works are pretty rare and those of significant length even rarer, so I'll have to point you towards other less related but similar works like Sunless Sea and Fallen London(This one is free) which are both very text dense/narrative driven games.

There are only a handful of updates here, there are far, far more over on sufficient velocity. There's over 800k+ words iirc, so check it out over there if you'd like. Would highly recommend.

he has no idea indeed... Though, you know, danger AND opportunities. He gave up both.

11793483
eh, I thought she was obvious Grail material from the first update here. I'm still not sure if Pinkie should be Heart/Moth or Moth/Heart though, even 18 turns in...

11793591
and things do indeed go badly, at times... you'll see 🤐

11793449
The story is hardly over, so it's all yet to see. We ARE still alive, though.

the S in Esquestria was indeed a typo. It was noticed a bit late, and it kinda stuck.

if you want to catch up faster than the updates here, the quest is on the sufficient velocity forum. We're on turn 18, and a LOT has happened... we have an interesting mix of failures and successes

11793769
Thank you, When I was asking i was asking about both, I like quest story's but they are hard for me to find. I also want to find more cultist simulator type novels, but They are also hard to find.

I figured Pinkie for Heart/Knock, she is unceasing and no barrier can deny her.

Ah yes the beginnings of horror,you might want to turn back now if you just wanted to enjoy the slice of life. ;3

Deepening social bonds, most excellent. As well as being a good mom, happy and healthy home lives are such a rare genre.

Yon rug will surely prove useful sooner or later, and there's a convenient book to touch up the Heart lore to level 2!

Grail's a heck of a trip, and yon cult Master is surprisingly circumspect, very respectable I must say.

"You are among the very damned best maids we have in this house, and I wouldn't accept your transfer to Canterlot, or anywhere else for that matter, even if I got a letter from my father," you un-hug her, but still keep a grip on her with both your hoofs, and you look her in the eye as you talk to her, "and I hope that you can trust me if you ever need anything, or if anything complicated like this ever comes up again. And I mean anything."

Her terrified expression has now turned into one of surprise as you keep talking.

"You are also getting a raise," her eyes and mouth go wide open, "and I'll be taking care of Silky's recent antics personally."

Velvet is such a mom, it's wonderful to see. Who would have thought one could find such wholesome fluff in a Cultist Simulator crossover?

Now there's a surprise, Cheerilee turning an inclination for Heart into a drive to complete all of the paperwork. An impressive application.

Not as impressive as Silky though, dear child has a commendable yen for friendship. Also, older sister get, most adorable.

"My dear, you have no idea how… Actually, where are my manners? I am Baldomare, and that there in the corner is Illopony, my dear beloved," she says, pointing to the blank pony, "and I take it this is your first time through the Blank Door, right?"

Baldomare and Illopony! Ha ha, a pun of puns indeed! I love that you thought of this. I also love that she's gotten her beau back, or perhaps he's gotten her back, depending on how you look at it.

Best daughter, Velvet needs more hugs.

Moth is the aspect of obsession and transformation as well as chaos and obfuscation, poor Velvet got hit upside the head with a significant influence.

One begins to suspect that the Master was never a pony of any sort, one of the departed Carapace Cross reawoken?

Witness the ritual and solidify loyalty to the cult.

-Violence
-Death
-Suicide
-Rape
-Abusive relationships
-Gore
-Racism
-Mental health issues
-Horror
-Other, potentially disturbing issues

Shouldn’t you add a gore, horror and non-con tag then?

And done... now... consequences.

I wonder does Despair eats itself too?

Something, something, MOTHer... something.

Accept, note and pursue the lunar alicorn. Loyalty to the cult and the master first.

Batmare, batmare, does whatever a bat can~

No wait my mistake I meant mothmare... well not that it matters much.

This stallion got that dawg in him... not a dog and hopefully never a wolf.

Winter is an end... but is it closure as well?

Give the mare a hug.
(If possible) tell jade whistle something comforting.

hi author, i'm jumping in here from Sufficient Velocity, right now im at point where we met wolf-divided for first time, and i would like to say that this story is a real treat, at least to me, most stories stick to one theme and mostly to one feeling making it more dull each time it appear, but you juggle so many of them at once, happiness and pain, love and fear never knowing which one will appear next giving them new sharpnees and new depth each time they change, and how you write characters allowing me to connect to them and allowing me to feel what they feel that more acutely, i dont really know where i'm going with this rambling, what i'd like to say is thank you for posting your story here which allowed me to find out about it and enjoy it, and i am really enjoying it very much, i hope to catch up to the current events so i too can cast my vote in what happens next, with all the consequences that entails

The Princess of Dreams can dream in her dreams if she wishes so.

Sistehooves Social with maid sister sounds fun.
