Summary
An Alternative Honorverse Novel.
I know the extended story-arc is one of the great glories of the Honorverse, but haven't you ever, ploughing through the latest best-selling doorstop, wanted radically to short-circuit the whole thing, and see those morally defective, small-souled Manticoran aristocrats taken down hard? And all Detweilers and Kolokoltsovs whatsoever fed to a vengeful passel of treecats, with BBQ sauce? I know I have ...

Bookmarking this so I don't forget it.
Excellent read, a more satisfying ending than canon, and better utilization of the treecats too.
Will need to reread someday, and maybe not all in one marathon session. -

I love this story and all the little twisty-turney machinations happening too.
Hoping the author eventually returns to this. I want to see how the preparations for the return of the Others pays off. -

House Mooton is an old and respected house founded before the time of Petty Kings and forever residing in their city, Maidenpool.
Eleanor Mooton inherits the Ladyship of House Mooton after the second brother of two months dies in a hunting accident in the middle of Robert’s Rebellion. She is quite put upon about this.
(alternatively: local reincarnation unfortunately becomes important due to the universe's own fuckery. she should've ran to essos the second she realized where she was.)

Chapter 65.
Excellent world building. It provides enough detail and backstory without being overwhelming.
I quite like the world and story built here. The character growth is lovely. I've learned more about ponies than I ever thought I would. 😄
I also like that even with it's large cast of characters, we aren't jumping all over the place between perspectives. We sometimes get other characters' perspectives as a treat or as part of the build-up to introduce them.
Earlier chapters sometimes had the characters repeating themselves, but that would happen across chapters when repeating their background stories to newly introduced characters. So just like how a story would be repeated in real life in a similar situation. Only mildly annoying that way, easily skimmed over to get to the new stuff if that's not your thing. This improved in later chapters as more things were going on and it was easier to yada-yada the main characters giving their backstory to other characters. -

Bookmarker's Notes
A nice story. Relaxing and fun. Low stress. I found myself cackling a number of times at Ammy's antics.
Appears to have gone on hiatus, but at least it left off on a good point in the story.
I'm not sure how the author intends to deal with the Endbringers or Scion and they seemed to be building up to some kind of positive resolution with Panacea but didn't manage to get there yet. I also wonder how the S9 would be dealt with. Would they just stay away? Would Ammy manage to manipulate their demise, their rehabilitation? With the way things were going I suspect it would be fairly low-stakes overall. Some drama, but nowhere near the levels in the canon. Oni-Lee and Lung being brought more around to the side of the light, being rehabilitated would have some interesting implications in the future. -

Whatever she expected when she triggered, it wasn't meeting a short white-haired girl or turning into a hyper-advanced technological platform. Of course when you're Taylor Hebert, things frequently don't go as planned.

Summary
Amy and Victoria Dallon were always together growing up. They were a package deal, one obsessed with joining the family business while the other was content to avoid all that nonsense. This difference in opinion was a constant source of frustration, but never enough to break their sibling bond.
Yet, with a slight alteration to their timeline and some slightly different Trigger Events, Amy ends up working towards the Cape life she always wanted.
Alone...
At least at first.
Co-Written with the fantastic Zira!
