Friendship is Optimal: Heart's Desire
A story set in Iceman's Optimalverse. Princess Cadance seeks the meaning of life, especially a life that is isolated within a machine.
CelestAI satisfies human values through friendship and ponies, but what about values that eat at the soul and deprive you of love?
Princess Cadance must find her answers in a world where Celestia has only one chief desire, where everything presented to her is for the sake of satisfying her values, and where there are more of her than she can count, or contact.
This story is heavily influenced by the concept albums 'Epica' and 'The Black Halo' by Kamelot. Therefor there are some strong Faustian themes.
