Prince Blueblood's ascension to alicornhood had a rocky start, but he seems to have smoothed things out. Certainly, Celestia has been happier since Twilight Sparkle joined the royalty of Equestria.
However, due to misfortune and malady, Blueblood is flung across the cosmos to a strange land filled with bipedal creatures of unknown intent. He flees in fear, hoping against hope that help is on the way, but certain inhabitants of the new world are not so easily avoided. Only one mare can save him now, and she's nopony to be messed with.
Changelings, alicorns, and bronies collide as Blueblood tries to return home.
We're all doomed.

Blueblood becomes an alicorn, much to the author's dismay.

After the ascension of Prince Blueblood, a bevy of unicorns, pegasi, and earth ponies suddenly find themselves elevated to the status of royalty. Ponies ascend, hijinks ensue, and Celestia consumes boatloads of coffee in this short-story collection.
A story about the ponies Pinkie Pie loves, and those who love her in turn. By the way, Braeburn's an alicorn prince now.
Blueblood is sent to Tartarus. No, he's not a prisoner. Rather, he is to become the new warden of the magical prison for Nightmares. The key problem is that he just doesn't want to be the warden. Will he follow his duty, or his dreams?
