When Prince Blueblood crafts a new magical spell, he is transported to a mystical plane of existence. There, he is informed that he is to become a full-fledged alicorn prince.
He takes it rather well, all things being considered.
Equestria as a whole takes it a small bit less enthusiastically.

Blueblood becomes an alicorn, much to the author's dismay.
Blueblood continues to be an alicorn, despite the author's protestations. He now finds himself the victim of magic gone horribly right. He is flung into the world of humans and their odd subspecies known as bronies.
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?
