A Spin-Off of Living the Dream by Kickass222urmom. Thanks again for your blessing in creating this mess.
A big thank you to Princeling for the cover art.
The Gryphon Kingdom of Kleinkrieg is preparing for war. Prince Blueblood is determined to prevent it. Unfortunately, doing so requires him to work with the local population of Bronies who have cropped up in Equestria. Out of options and running out of time, Blueblood must find common ground with these outsiders and journey to the heart of enemy territory to stop the war before it starts.
Things don't go as planned.
Chapters (8)
Great to see a Blueblood that can fight, most stories, even the one portray him as good always let him be a coward and hide from fight
Interesting.
no wonder why he's so good at fighting
First time reading this and the Brony is such a manchild
It's understandable to be annoyed that a stranger is in your bedroom but to purposely ignore the news of war coming?
Tbh with Blueblood's title as Prince
How many gold diggers have he met?

You'd have to be if you were in his very expensive shoes.
I really hope this is who I think it is. That would be so fucking funny.
I'm liking the story so far. I'm invested in this.

I can neither confirm nor deny that it is who you think it is. But trust your gut on this one.
Incredibly proud that my work has reached the preeminent Living the Dream scholar of our age. Thank you so much for the kind words.
Yes! I knew it! Richard fans keep winning.
Ah okay that clears some things up for me. I was wondering when this happened in the timeline. Guess the events of Nightmare Night either happened differently or didn't happen at all.
I don't know how far into the OG LTD you are, but it's fun seeing how this differs to the mainline story.
Speaking of, I guess Lance isn't an angel in this universe. God must've not liked this one as much.
I'm glad someone called him out. The canon appearance of Violent Inferno does not live up to the name.
This story has some deepcuts. I like the references that play out here, like I was not expecting Lance's war book to come back.
(TBH I'm half surprised that Peter's nightmare wasn't his guitar breaking.)
What a classic LTD fight. The bronies and friends get whooped by the current strong guy. Feels like home.

It's funny you mention it. I actually reached the Nightmare Night arc of LTD as I was writing this. I considered trying to update everything to add in Lance's angelic form and powers, but eventually settled on leaving things as is just for the simplicity.
Richard will always be my favorite LTD villain. You've gotta be one hell of a dedicated hater to follow your son into another life to kill him again. I respect his grind.

Bit risky to write for a story you haven't finished, but still a fun story in the end. I've accepted this as a full on AU.
Richard did nothing wrong.

Sometimes you've just got a dream and need to write it, even if there's approximately 200 or so chapters you've gotta get to first.
An AU is about what I feel I was aiming for. I definitely drew a lot on my own personal Equestria lore for this story. I still wanted to capture the vibes of Living the Dream as best I could, and try to nail how the characters act. I can only hope that now that it's finished I wrote them all well.
Don't want to sound like a nitpick, but it's spelled Fawn. Though knowing her adoptive parents I wouldn't be surprised that they would forget how to spell it.
This edition of Twilight is much more competent than her housewife counterpart, and much more physical. She doesn't know the story she's in. Women don't get story relevance until part 3.
I like how this implies that she could've solved every past conflict without issue, but chose not to for whatever reason.
Taking powerscaling into account, she is stronger than Luna. Cause Luna got oneshot by a weaker Richard, yet Twilight is obliterating him here, even if he's battle damaged. Yeah no wonder Kickass nerfed magic so hard...
...Not like powerscaling made any sense in LTD anyways.
Freddy, that went horribly last time. Not every villain will turn out like Cody.
Also, fuck you Fred.
And that's that. It's a nice short story to add to the LTD mythos. I enjoyed my time reading this one, and from what I can tell Kickass is too.
The characters were pretty spot on, excluding Twilight of course. Felt like just another day in the life of Lance.
