[Crossover] Sleipnir is Pinkie Pie

[anonymous]

Sleipnir leaves Asgard, because being your grandfather's warhorse really sucks, and ends up in a certain magical land full of adorable multicoloured ponies known as Equestria. Having inherited some of Loki's magical powers, Sleipnir shapeshifts into a bright pink curly-haired pony, moves in with a nice couple who own a cake shop, and sets about making friends and throwing parties.

Yes. Sleipnir is Pinkie Pie. Being Loki's daughter is the reason why she has all those inexplicable abilities that Earth ponies really shouldn't, like Pinkie Sense and popping out of random places to yell FOREVER and teleporting, and might possibly have something to do with her fondness for pranks.

(Why is Sleipnir a stallion and Pinkie a mare, you ask? That one you can figure out for yourselves. She's trans* or genderqueer and only now got a chance to finally be herself? Sleipnir was actually always a mare and it got changed in myth because someone thought Odin should have a stallion? Something else? You decide.)

[OP here. I have apparently lost what little of my sanity remained, and ended up writing a fill for my own prompt. And despite the crackiness of the prompt, it somehow ended up being incredibly angsty. Note the warnings: this contains torture (offscreen, and not very explicitly described) and references to abuse. I’m not sure what’s wrong with my brain, but I hope you enjoy it

The rest of items twelve through thirty-eight were mostly things their friends had noticed, specific examples of Pinkie Pie acting unusually or seeming particularly miserable. Fluttershy had even said she’d seen Pinkie crying (item fifteen). A lot of them involved Pinkie vanishing suddenly, or skipping out on get-togethers and the chance to spend time with her friends. The Cakes had told her she’d been saying she was too busy to babysit or to bake for the shop (items thirty-three and thirty-four), and that wasn’t like Pinkie Pie at all

Pinkie Pie stepped out of her room in Sugarcube Corner and onto the paths between worlds, feeling sad at having to leave Twilight behind. She’d seen Twilight following her in the forest, but hadn’t said anything, because then she’d have to explain all the potions she was carrying back from Zecora’s and she really hadn’t wanted to do that. Even so, she’d been glad to know her friend was with her. But Twilight couldn’t follow here here. Pinkie had to do this part of the journey alone

The only light in the cell came from a tiny window directly above the door; the room was barely brighter than the darkness between worlds, and that was saying something. It was just enough to make out the walls hewn from solid rock and the crumpled figure of Loki on the floor. Pinkie set the basket down and took a deep breath before she dared to look at him. She was always so scared that one day she’d find him dead, and he wasn’t moving, and in the faint light she could see fresh blood on his back, sharp lines of torn skin. The air stank of copper. Pinkie stepped to his side and nuzzled the back of his neck, watching his back for the tiny up-and-down movements that indicated he was still breathing

‘Twilight’s coming to Canterlot with me tomorrow,’ she began, once her mother had managed a few sips of soup and was beginning to look a little better. ‘The libraries there are super big, and all the really important books are in there, and Twilight can get us into the Archives - we broke in there once, the two of us, it was awesome fun - so I’m sure we can find something to get you out of here really, really soon

She’d startled him, Pinkie saw with relief. That scary glint was gone. ‘I’m still a danger. Still the monster parents scare their children with at night. Too dangerous to be freed, lest I destroy whole worlds, and what will your precious Equestria

It was a while before he spoke again. ‘I don’t believe your friendship is as strong as you claim,’ he said.

‘Why not?’

‘You haven’t told them about me,’ he said. ‘For all their concern, for all that you must want their support, you don’t trust them enough to tell them the truth about who you are and where you come from.’

Pinkie glanced away. She knew he was only saying this because of how close he was to losing hope, and because it was easier to pick at her optimism than face his own lack of it, and because he was trying to push her away, because everyone abandoned him in the end and he didn’t know anything else. Even knowing all that, it still hurt. But it wasn’t true. ‘I do trust them,’ she said. ‘I’m going to have to tell them anyway, once I figure out how to rescue you. It just… they don’t need to know yet

‘No,’ Pinkie whispered, tears filling her eyes. He was wrong, so completely, incredibly wrong, but even to hear him think like that broke her heart. ‘That’s not true. That’s - that’s the whole reason I haven’t told them. Because I love them and I want them to be happy, and…’ She took a deep breath, holding back a sob. ‘Equestria really isn’t like Asgard, it’s… it’s just incredibly nice. It’s peaceful, and everyone is friendly, and nothing really bad ever happens there. There are accidents, and ponies hurt each other sometimes, and there are always sad things, but… but no one would ever torture their own son to try and fix him. Ever. No one would let anyone get so badly hurt and alone and angry that they go a bit mad like you did, not since Princess Luna and she wasn’t half as bad as you. And no one would take their grandchild and treat her like a mindless animal and beat her if she tried to talk. They couldn’t even think of anything like that. And I don’t want to be the one who has to tell them that there are places where all those

Oh my God, this was perfect and beautiful and heartwrenching and goddamnit. Goddamnit, I want Pinkie to be happy, too, with her mother and her friends and oh my god. *bawls*

Aww, thank you! I want her to be happy too. I like Pinkie. I felt absolutely terrible while I was writing it. But I'm glad you liked it! And, you know, I'm sure she manages to get him out of there and everything ends up okay. Somehow.

ACTUAL TEARS IN MY EYES AFTER READING THIS. ;_;

Fantastic work, anon. Absolutely fantastic.

Pinkie/Sleipnir having shapeshifting abilities but limited to horse-shaped forms is a great detail. And this:
‘Pinkie Pie Lokisdottir,’ he said. ‘Bearer of the Element of Laughter. And a goddess in your own right, even if it’s never acknowledged, never known. I am the God of Lies, and you are my daughter, and that makes you a goddess.’ She didn’t know where he was going by this, but she didn’t like it. ‘Goddess of Laughter, of Joy, of Happiness. It’s very fitting. Happiness is only ever the daughter of Lies.’
...EPIC. And heartbreaking; well the whole parent-child relationship in this fic is beautiful and heartbreaking. I mentioned the tears in my eyes, right?
