Twelve years after the Crusaders discovered their true nature, an ancient evil has returned. Celestia is hurt, magic is weakened, and Equestria is nearly lost. Now our heroes must find a way to fix The Hole In The Sun.
Discord makes a deal with an anonymous human. The human gets to live a good life in Equestria. And Discord? he gets to have a son of his own. Of course, his only reason is to impress Fluttershy and annoy Twilight.
"Even as they lied to me, Even as I broke- Even as the world crumbled, Even as it died, Even then you searched for me, And tried to reach my side." Twilight Velvet is going to find her daughter. No matter what it takes.
Should you ever revisit this, I will read any continuation with eager eyes. Especially if you can work in the Derptor at some point. (I know you said it isn't her story, but come on. Best pony as a Time Lady? How can I resist?)
3575380 If I ever manage to actually start writing this again, Derpy will be making random asynchronous appearances throughout the story, running her own B-plot where she runs in on the alt-mane 6 and does something then months later does the thing she did before that. I might be more ambitious than smart with trying that, but that's really the point of fanfic in the first place, isn't it?
Also, since you reminded me this exists, I added a bit at the beginning of the chapter I'd had in my head, and I'll try to draft out the next bit in the next day or two. Nice to see some interest in this.
Origin-swapping with good, solid Pratchett-esque vibes throughout? This deserves a favourite and more. Best of luck with this, and I hope to see it continued.
3812786 Thank you very much for your interest, and I very sincerely promise that I will get back to this story eventually, even if my impending graduation means I will soon have less free time than ever. After all, I have such plans for this. (That being no plans at all, which is really rather the point of exploration. It's more fun that way.)
I'm not going to lie: I came into this planning to dislike it in some way.
Couldn't manage it. Prose style isn't my taste, but the execution of this premise is pretty good so far. I'll be favoriting to see what you do with it. Have an upvote as well.
Man, I love your prose and your worldbuilding and I hope you haven't given up on this. I love the big universe-changing concepts introduced in Homestuck and I'd love to see more of it incorporated in non-HS fanfics.
Chrysalis tag is interesting...
My only issue is Technomage. I have a hard time fitting serious widespread technology into canon, even originswap AU.
That said, I really do hope you continue to update this. It's a perspective I very much want to see more of, and written well.
You performed the Scratch on Equestria.
You performed.
The Scratch.
On Equestria.
...
And it is AWESOME

Thanks, I swear I'll get back to writing eventually.
Can you tell me what, specifically, predisposed you to a negative view of my short stretch of words?

Negative comment on my story's pacing. :twilightbashful:
But seriously, you got a good thing going here.
Well, this is off to a good start!
