Daybreaker does not exist. Or at the least, Daybreaker shouldn't exist. She's just a nightmare, a concern, a personal fear. She isn't actually real.
Only until she is, at which point she becomes something of an issue for everyone.
Fortunately (for everyone who isn't Daybreaker) she just-so happens to wind up in the one spot on the planet where the only person she can bother is the only person who doesn't mind all that much. Even the death threats get treated as jokes.
It's intolerable.
Chapters (7)
I am the splinter to the eye of inspiration.
12178571
My muse. Hah!
12178573
Muses are much less annoying. I don't get paid enough to be a muse. You get the splinter instead. Budget cuts! Think of the austerity, man!
well, i'm guessing they're in either tarturus or that one universe which starlight destroyed using timetravel or something. the real question here if so is how in the god damn hell sam got there
12178584
It should be remembered that I've only seen, like, 20% of the show, so...
12178585
i haven't watched even an single episode, but one tends to catch on a little after reading a bunch of fics
12178587
Could have fooled me! I had to read like a dozen of these things before I knew they were horses!
She had certain ideas about what being dead was like and they did not include beds, god damnit!
Sure, dear.
Pay2Win players when the nolifers show up be like:
Changelings can't eat pity you unsufferable whoops sorry wrong fic
Yeah! He should be challenging her to a fistfight! Show some respect, simpleton! YOU GET BACK HERE AND YOU FIGHT ME THIS INSTANT--
Stop speaking your strange foreign tongues, alien. No version of Celestia written by CM has any concept of 'asking' before cuddle-adjacent activities begin!
No, but if you say you're all of you I'm going to be uncontrollably headbanging to Sonic music for at least an hour so let's not go down that path
well she got the without-restraint part down at least
She's an alternate mind of Celestia so she's in at least three minds about it!
Hmph. Paul would never. Paul's always excessively flammable. It's why he blows his top so often. The reason he smokes is he's hoping someday it will explode and take him out.
How many minds are in this room right now?! Egads man! I can't even keep track of one!
Daybreaker discovering for the first time that playing against bots isn't the same as real competitive play:
Technically she's never eaten before so this is what one would expect!
Psshh, the difference is that the other Daybreaker would be howling with laughter at how absurdly bad the situation is! If you can't laugh at cosmic jokes at your own expense, are you really the unshakeable ruler of the sun? Work on yourself, lady!
I just noticed that there is a trend of fimfictions (wooosh, look what I did there) of Daybreaker recently.
12178610
You can't prove it was me! No jury will convict!
12178610
Fucking love bandwagons, me.
Seeing a “#1” in the chapter title of Cackling fic brings me unbridled joy.
Ah just wonderful writing! Cheery and clever
12178611
See unfortunately for you. You will not be getting a jury trial.
And I declare you guilty as sin.
However since I am in a good mood I will allow you to choose your punishment.
You either make a multi chapter fic declaring how Nighmare Moon is the superior evil Alicorn.
Or execution by being dog pilled by a million puppies.
(This is a joke by the way. Please don’t take this seriously
)
12178590
But the show is called "my little pony"
12179042
I don't read titles, it ruins key plot points (like them being little).
Well, Daybreaker's being rather ungrateful! The shame of it! She's supposed to be better than Celestia, is she not? Humph!
Joking aside, I'm liking the story so far
Still one of the best lines I've seen. Truly.

I'll give you the missing words, but I'm not sure what were you have in mind?
12179346
Stahl's simply wrong, and must not be familiar with this particular turn of phrase.
'Were one of a mind to' is fine colloquial English. Why, one could use it in a professional novel, if one were of a mind to do so. And, in point of fact, many have.
12179346
is it not supposed to be we're in that case and context?
12179338
The sentence is correct, your attempted correction is wrong.
I'm not even sure what you were trying to correct here. The sentence is fine, although some would argue for a comma after 'about' for easier legibility – but that would come at the expense of the intended flow when spoken aloud.
Another incorrect attempt at a correction. 'It seems to vary' is not interchangeable with 'it depends', and is perfectly valid English.
When posting corrections, please be careful not to over-correct or mis-correct anything.
I've been seeing an influx of Daybreaker/Celestia stories on this site lately, and this is the latest one on my binge. Great job so far!
12179824
I don't know what's been getting into the water to make us write this many daybreaker stories
but i like it
12178585
Relatable, I got hooked into the fandom by reading fics off fimfiction. And now I have only watched season 1 of the show.
Dsybreaker: Bites Samuel with all her force
Samuel: "Pardon? Anyways..."
Samuel has no self-preservation instincts, does he?
Still, it seems to be working; Daybreaker almost laughed!
12180115
My excuse is that he's super lonely. And kind of an odd duck.
The image of this alone is too funny
After years of interacting with the locals as though they were young children, Sammy has come to realize Daybreaker is something else entirely.
He must treat her like a petulant teenager.
12180984
Honestly a pretty good comparison. Unfortunately the petulant teenager is an arsonist extraordinaire and currently in juvie, heh.
12180984
12181037
Oh the images you two have put into my head. Hilarious.
12181037
12181247
He is literally grounding her!
Wouldn't her actions only have worked because Celestia fears they would work, and that tyranny might improve things?
12181808
That would depend upon your definition of improving things.
12181818
Well, that would fit under the banner of 'because celestia is afraid of the consequences', too. In that case it'd be the fear that in her 'psychotic break' mind, she'd like the feeling of, presumably, everyone fearing for their lives
Finally making the obvious point to the very, very dense houseguest, heh.
Finally making the obvious point to the very, very dense host.
boy, you're really putting it out there subtly for us, huh? to be fair i guess thats kind of warranted seeing how you never use the god damn romance tag (no offense)
aah wait, does that really mean there wont be anything though? hmmm...
12182183
Gotta keep you guessing, brah
12181866
Together, they solve dense crime. Slowly.
That's not how taking responsibility for life you accidentally created works. Which should be obvious but hell, here we are.
Kind of regret Paul not being in this story. The choice words he'd have would be second only to the threats he'd issue in this situation.
12184426
Paul...? Pls context.
12184426
I second TrashBoat’s comment. Context please.
Is the title a reference to mosquitoes, WH40K, both, or something else entirely?
12184454
12184457
Character from Like Clockwork, one of Cackling's best fics.
If he saw this mess there would be no mercy.
12184457
12184454
he's another human MC of cackling's fromhere. if you've read the story you'll probably get whyoopsies didnt see he had already replied my bad
12184426
At this stage the argument would be that, owing to her tumultuous personal feelings, she isn't seeing it as a life quite yet, and simply a magical mistake. A view that will likely get probed shortly.
Whole time im reading this im imagining this dude haveing a british accent sounds so fitting
12184519
Cool thanks
12184561
Thanks for the effort anyway.
