Alicorn Twilight Favorites

On Wings of Change An Ali!Twilight story that doesn't revolve solely around Alicorn Twilight. by Kobalstromo 74,119 words · 1,377 · 59
Not My Destiny Twilight refuses to accept her ancient alicorn heritage by Smayds 37,412 words · 1,669 · 61
Ascend Cheer up, Twilight. It's not every day somepony changes species. In fact, no pony has ever changed species. Or dealt with the results of that change. by xTSGx 61,412 words · 2,914 · 69
Sharing the Night Twilight becomes alicorn of the stars. This is sort of a problem, because Luna kind of already was alicorn of the stars. Oops! by Cast-Iron Caryatid 234,498 words · 3,845 · 105
Expectations Twilight gets wings and must adapt to a changing life. Outcast. Fear. Acceptance. by Beige Monkfish 71,208 words · 843 · 33

On Wings of Change - READ IT NOW! A brilliant bit of writing by Kobalstromo. ||| Not My Destiny - One of the older and best Alicorn Twilight stories, has one hell of a tear-jerker for an ending. Don't read the grimdark alternate ending without a strong stomach or, like me, you'll run and hide under the "Super-Ultra-Mega-Happy" alternate ending after six lines. ||| Ascend - A "traditional" Alicorn!Twilight story that pokes fun at the subgenre at the same time. ||| Sharing the Night - A brilliant take on alicornhood and just some really solid writing overall! ||| Expectations - Sad and enthralling, this piece places emphasis on the emotional craziness that Twilight might be in for immediately after sudden alicornification.

Mass Effect: Shades of Twilight - You wouldn't think Mass Effect and ponies would go together. Loyal2Luna proves you wrong in the best way possible! ||| Becoming One With the Night - Take a break with this nice TwiLuna story by Rites fan Spacecowboy. ||| Integration - "A changeling is abandoned in Ponyville" is a common theme in FimFic stories, done to death. THIS time, a pony joins the hive instead! ||| The World At Large - The sequel to the excellent Freeze Frame by ToixStory! ||| The God Particle - One of the very few HiEs I actually, truly like.

Surprise! It's time for more Designing Intrigue! · 4:41am October 1st

Folks wanted to see this since a recent-ish chapter of RoA featured Rarity, so I figured it's time to resurrect the side story for at least a chap! RoA will be returning at the end of the October, barring something crazy.

Thanks again for sticking with me!
