The Royalverse is my disliked ships / ‘grimdark’ au. In this universe, Queen Chrysalis had almost succeeded with her plan to take over Equestria, she was much more manipulative and cunning, actually behaving like Cadence herself, but Twilight still saw through her disguise and knew something was wrong, the same thing happened, Twilight called her out during the wedding rehearsal and everyone took her side, Twilight was kicked out of the wedding, but instead of banishing her the way she did Cadence, Chrysalis just allowed Twilight to feel completely betrayed and rejected by everyone she loved as the wedding went on without her. Only months into the marriage did Celestia finally catch Chrysalis feeding off her husband, and a massive war broke out, ending with Chrysalis’s death and the banishment of changelings from Equestria forever. Chrysalis had long fed off the real Cadence to the point of death and Shining Armor was so weak from the months of mind control and being eaten from the inside out that he died shortly after he was freed from her grasp as well. This has caused a massive rift between Twilight, the Elements of Harmony, and the Princesses, Twilight blames them for the death of her brother and childhood friend. Because of this, Twilight moved out of ponyville, cut contact with her friends, and never became a princess, they never discovered the map, they never started a school of friendship, and possibly most importantly, they never met Starlight Glimmer, who is still out there building her cult.  
This universe is centered around the son of Braeburn and Big Macintosh, Royal Gala Apple.  

 
I’ve never written a real scene to go with a picture before, I hope y’all enjoy! I’ll probably make a follow up to this too
 

 
Flam exited the courtroom still in utter shock of the outcome, magically dangling his unnamed newborn foal a foot above him as if disgusted to even touch her, Cozy Glow was a young woman, in her early 20’s, with no attorney who had been squeezing money out of Flam for months, and Flam was 100% certain he would be able to wiggle his way out of any parental responsibilities to their child, especially since the child had been conceived from an unplanned one night stand, but the pegasus was a lot more manipulative and cunning than Flam expected, and within the week she had wiped the floor with him and had the entire court, and two weeks later it was decided all parental rights and responsibility would be forcefully given to Flam.  
Ahead trotted Cozy Glow, a smile on her face spread ear to ear and her eyes shining with pride and relief, but the smile dropped as Flam caught up, a groan escaping her throat as she stopped, turning her head but not bothering to face him directly  
“What? Did you not here the judge, or is your hearing going with age? You don’t have time to be stalking me, you have diapers to shop for”  
Flim’s eyebrows furrowed in annoyance and his ears went back, making Cozy’s smile return  
“You didn’t have a problem with my age the night this brat was conceived, did you Cozy?”  
Flim announced this loud enough to be heard, and Cozy Glow’s eyes widened and she gritted her teeth, feeling the burn of the stares of strangers on her  
That was it, nobody tried to humiliate her  
Cozy straighted her posture and cleared her throat, glaring at the unicorn in front of her, her lips curling into a cruel smile, cruel enough to send a shiver down Flim’s spine, although years of practicing his pokerface kept him composed  
“Oh, that’s cute grandpa, that’s real cute!” Cozy snarled, “You’re old enough to be my father and you really think I was attracted to you? Well, for your information, I never PLANNED to sleep with you! You were a dirty old man I was stringing along for free cider who happened to get lucky on a whim! You were a fluke, and if you think you or this ugly filly will see me ever again you’re stupider than you look”  
Flam’s eyes widened, completely thrown back by her words, and stared silently at her grinning face before stuttering out some final words “W-Well! You, you still did it, didn’t you? As old and ugly as you claim I am, this foal is still here!”  
Cozy’s smirk remained, and she fluttered her eyelashes at Flam, her voice sarcastic and sickly-sweet  
“And you slept with me! And now you’re paying for it! Your actions have consequences, Flam, I’m sorry if that’s some kind of shock to you…”  
And with that, Cozy left Flam, speechless and in the custody of a newborn child, after a minute or two of utter shock, Cozy Glow let out a slow, exausted breath, looking up at the greyscale filly with the blood red eyes, the one who looked nothing like him but matched his DNA, the one he fought to get out of his life since the day he learned Cozy had gotten pregnant, the one that cost him almost all his savings, and felt nothing but resentment.  
“All right, I’m dropping you off at the nearest orphanage by the end of the day”  
He began to walk in the direction of the train station, the unnamed baby still floating above him, beginning to murmur out of crankiness, Flam, however, was too busy talking to himself to notice  
“ ‘Your actions have consequences’, Bah! What kind of namby pamby crap is that? Sounds like something Applejack would sa-”  
Flam suddenly stopped dead in his tracks, a smile flashing across his face  
“Applejack! Flim’s Wife Applejack! Applejack and Flim!”  
They’re in their lovey dovey first few years of marriage phase, he was could easily convince them to take this kid off his hands! His brother was great at keeping secrets he would be sure the filly wouldn’t starve to death or be abused, he may not feel any love toward the baby, but that didn’t mean he was heartless or wanted it to be harmed, he picked up his pace, still determined to get rid of the child by the end of the day, and ponyville was at least a two hour train ride
