Original Description:

Hi! Still struggling with a name for this AU haha, let me know if Watcherverse is good enough lol! Thank you all for helping me choose the mane 6 ships for this AU! I loved your suggestions, might keep the other ship suggestions for other AUs 👀

For this AU i also wanted to try to make it a soulmate AU, mostly to justify how some of the ships would get together. The AU begins when the princess of love goes to visit the princess of friendship:

Two ponies’ hooves clicked on the crystalline tile of Twilight’s castle, their voices softly echoing through the halls.

“And in here, we have the Cutie Map!”

Twilight led her sister-in-law into the map room, working through the castle tour. Cadance first took a moment to admire the beautiful tree roots from the golden oak library hanging up above, but she soon joined Twilight beside the huge crystal map.

“So this is what assigns you girls your missions?”

“That’s right! When a friendship problem appears, it makes our cutie marks glow.” Twilight lifted her wings to look back at her own mark on her flank.

“Fascinating…” Cadance gazed down at the map, admiring her own empire within it. “Did it show up like this? With the castle, I mean?”

“Actually, it appeared when we all sat in our seats together!” Twilight gestured to her own little throne, bearing her cutie mark symbol.

Cadance hummed thoughtfully. She lifted her hoof to the map, wanting to see if the projection had any physical sensation to it, when the whole thing began to softly glow pink. The two Alicorns’ eyes widened in tandem, surprised beyond words.

Cadance pulled her hoof away and stepped back, watching alongside Twilight as the pink glow overtook the entirety of the map. As they watched in shock, a series of small hearts appeared, much as their cutie marks did when the map called them somewhere.

“What are those?” Twilight asked, staring.

“I’m not sure! I was hoping you would know!” Cadance exclaimed in return, looking from the hearts to Twilight and back again.

“Usually, our cutie marks are what show up on the map…” Twilight trailed off, looking back at her very much not glowing cutie mark.

“Twilight! Your hoof!”

“Huh?”

Twilight looked down at her front hoof, turning it until she spotted a red heart on the side that hadn’t been there before. She blinked in surprise, then looked to Cadance’s hooves.

“You have one, too!”

Sure enough, Cadance now sported a white to blue heart on her hoof… The colors reminded her of Shining Armor. She looked from the heart on her hoof to the map, a matching heart sitting above the crystal empire. Suddenly, it clicked.

“Soulmates! They’re soulmates, Twilight!” She held up her pink hoof to show off the heart upon it. “This is for Shiny!”

Twilight’s eyes widened again, curiosity sparkling within them. Soulmates? Cadance was the Princess of Love, she would never doubt her on such a matter. If she said that a heart on her hoof meant she had a soulmate, Twilight trusted her.

She needed to assemble her friends, they had to see this!

Twilight Sparkle and Big Macintosh:Twilight was absolutely brimming with curiosity at the cutie map newest addition, she absolutely needed to do research on it immediately!…after she found out who her soulmate was, her mind racing with questions.

When a red heart mark appeared and the map led her to Sweet Apple Acres she had a pretty clear idea of who it was. Big Mac. She wasn’t disappointed at all, he had always been nice to her, helped her clear her mind when she was stressed, adored his family and got along with hers (Spike), was hardworking, smart, had a beautiful singing voice and the cutest green eyes and- OH, did she had a crush on Big Mac all this time?

And well, Big Mac wasn’t disappointed at all either, Twilight had always been there for his family, and he secretly thought she looked adorable when she was stressed and would chew on her hair.

Spike and Applebloom were thrilled to hear their big siblings were soulmates. They were actually trying to set them up for a date, Spike had noticed how Big Mac looked at Twilight when she would bring them snacks during their nights of Ogres and Oubliettes, and Applebloom thought who better for his brother than the smartest and bestest princess of friendship?

They complement each other perfectly, Big Mac is the listener and Twilight the talker, Twilight is the brains and Big Mac the brawns. Twilight absolutely cherishes the moments when Big Mac would open up to her and she can listen to what’s on his mind.

Fluttershy and Cheerilee: When the heart mark appeared on Fluttershy she was really nervous, would her soulmate like her? are they a nice pony? But the map would show her she didn’t have anything to be nervous about,her soulmate was miss Cheerilee, the teacher at Ponyville School.

They had met previously when Cheerilee had asked Fluttershy if she could do a school trip to her animal sanctuary and if Fluttershy could do a tour of it to her students. Cheerilee was impressed by Fluttershy knowledge of all the animals, and Fluttershy admired how kind Cheerilee was to her students.

They are one if not THE most adorable couple in Ponyville, they regularly organize school trips to the animal sanctuary or Fluttershy goes to the school to do show and tells with the animals. Fluttershy always waits for Cheerilee to finish her classes so they can go to their cottage together.

Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Sunset Shimmer:

Rarity and Rainbow were very eager to meet their soulmate. Rainbow hoped they would be the most radical and awesome pony ever, and Rarity hoped it would be a romantic pony that would sweep her off her feet with sweet gestures. It wasn’t until they noticed their marks, a rainbow heart and a purple heart, along with an orange one,that it clicked for them, with a shared “oh” they realized they were each other’s soulmate.

Both of them knew that they were very different; they couldn’t deny the feelings that blossomed between them. And while they couldn’t find their other soulmate on the cutie map, it wasn’t until a freaked out Sunset stepped through the mirror, looking for Twilight to explain the two hearts that had appeared on her body, that they found their soulmate.

The three of them adore each other. Rarity’s biggest inspirations are her two wives, both of them being so fiery and passionate in what they do, and Rainbow and Sunset support her in everything she does. Rainbow loves to show off her two wives, introducing them as the two most awesome ponies in all of Equestria. While the three do have their fights, Sunset is usually the middle ground in their relationship, helping the three get along.

Pinkie Pie, Princess Luna and Fleur de Lis:
Pinkie was extremely excited at the news that she not only had one soulmate but two! Two heart shapes sitting on her legs. Double the love double the fun!

The cutie map led her to Canterlot, exactly to the castle. As she was roaming the castle halls, her Pinkie sense led her to no other than Princess Luna. The ruler of the night was surprised to hear that the pink bouncy pony was one of her soulmates.

While not forgetting about their other soulmate, Pinkie insisted that they had to throw a party to celebrate their reunion, all of Canterlot being invited of course. And at that party, amongst the highest socialites or Canterlot, was Fleur de Lis with two heart shapes on her legs. As soon as Pinkie greeted she exclaimed “oh there you are!!” And gave her the biggest hug, she was hers and Luna’s other soulmate.

Pinkie is obviously the fun one in their relationship, while Fleur and Luna are more down to earth. Pinkie and Fleur help Luna with getting used to attending parties and meetings. Luna is always there for Pinkie on the days she isn’t feeling the most happy. Pinkie may not be the most elegant pony, but Fleur absolutely loves her and finds her energy to be a spark that can illuminate any room.

Applejack, Cheese Sandwich and Discord:

How did Applejack end up in a relationship with one of the best party ponies in Equestria and the embodiment of Chaos capable of bending the reality with just a snap of his fingers? Not even she knows.

Applejack was the last of her friends to reunite with her soulmates.

When she had been called by Twilight and Cadence and explained the whole soulmate situation, she was surprised to find not one, but two shapes on each of her legs, one a yellow heart and the other one…well it wasn’t exactly a heart, but a shape that seemed to change on top of her fur at random. The cutiemap wasn’t of much help, both of her soulmates seemed to travel across Equestria with one being more chaotic in its movement than the other, making it hard for her to keep track of where to look for them.

It wasn’t until Mr Cheese Sandwich had made an appearance on Ponyville to visit his dear friend Pinkie and throw one of their signature parties, that Applejack noticed the orange heart on his leg, along with the strange shape too. And then the lord of chaos himself decided to join the party too! And both ponies were stunned to find two hearts, one yellow and one orange, on Discord’s paw instead of his legs.

Their relationship has been a bit rocky at first. Discord didn’t want to believe he had been tied down to two ponies! You can’t tame a lord of chaos like him, and while the party pony was fine by him, the element of honesty? Really? He found her a bit boring, with all her honesty and thinking the most fun she had was bucking apples. Applejack wasn’t so keen on Discord either, he was mischievous, treacherous and she was convinced he had never said a true thing in the large span of his life. But as a slice of cheese holds together two pieces of bread, so did Cheese Sandwich hold together them too.

Now, Applejack can’t picture life without her two silly husbands. With her help Discord had begun to be a bit more honest, and with the help of Cheese Sandwich and Discord she started to have more fun and be more relaxed about her duties in the farm. Their favorite thing to do together is harvest and help to make zap apple jam, Discord finds the process delightfully chaotic.

Big thanks to my friend TigerLilyKitty for helping me write the stories! 💗
