Looks like the two first pictures are referring to the first chapter, and a picture for the last chapter is lacking.

Honestly, if I had to do a time capsule of pony stories, this would be the first one in the list.
 
If only to show that you can turn a pastel-colored pony into a bitersweet tragedy worthy of Greek myth.

Considering the Moondancer episode that aired after Season 3 (when this fanfic ended) is just giving a whole new perspective. And, in this fanfic… No Lyra at Cranky and Matilda’s wedding. Not as canon at least.

My heart just broke again.

shortskirtsandexplosions will surely announce it on his Fimfiction blog once it’s ready – as will SPITZtheGOD who’s the one working on the books. I recommend also joining the Printed Fiction Hardcopies Fimfiction group whose members try their best to keep track of all past, present and future printing projects.

Painful as it was, I’m thinking that fanfic (and how can I relate, being male…) was like giving birth. I actually said at least once ”I want to die like Lyra.” Though she isn’t specifically said to die in the fanfic, it just more or less ends.

@runner2
 
Lyra’s no less than heroic by the end of the story if you see it from a certain perspective though.

@Myrica Gale  
Well, that’s depressing.

They are making a printing of Background Pony?? How might one find where this english version might be released from?

Wonderful illustrations!

@SaintAbsol  
There’s a printed Russian translation currently available for pre-order. The images above are the chapter images for the book. An English version is planned for Q4 of this year. I don’t know if it’ll use the same artwork though or if these are exclusive to the Russian version.

Why is Background Pony suddenly getting a new surge of attention? The fic’s been out (and completed) for quite a while now.

Everyone knows that Lyra is just a happy careless lesbian who lives with Bon Bon.

@runner2  
Oh, well okay.

Not quite accurate there.
 
It’s a fanfiction called Background Pony that follows the story of Lyra Heartstrings starting on the night that Nightmare Moon returned. On her initial return, Lyra was unlucky enough to be the first pony she seen. Through some, at the time, unknown magic, Lyra was cursed with being basically removed from existence. No one remembers her. No one can remember her even after meeting her. And no one can ever find out about her since anything she writes or does is removed from existence or somehow covered up.
 
It all starts on the night that Nightmare Moon returns and follows her entire life and what she does.
 
Very sad story… and these images are representing various moments in that story… at least until the final deciding moment.
