Pony POV Series/Awesome

"Mimic: You lose."
 * Fluttershy showing Fluttercruel who's boss then singing her to sleep! Fluttercruel was very wrong to call Fluttershy weak.
 * And she keeps Fluttercruel around for rehabilitation. Conquering a foreign personality that stands against everything you represent, and letting her keep her own consciousness to make her a better being is not something just anypony can do. And it works.
 * Pinkie Pie gets one of her own in her story of the same series by defeating Angry Pie, a fractured part of her psyche representing her unexpressed pain and anger over what Discord put her through, inside her mental plane. How does she do it? By merging with her Pinkamenia personality, and forming Surprise to fend her off, then merging with Angry Pie itself to become a cohesive personality far more stable than anything Pinkie proper has been since the Rainboom.
 * Also counts as one for the author, for making the new more stable Pinkie Pie still... Well Pinkie Pie! She's certainly more stable and sane, but still her zany, Cloudcuckoolander self!
 * Applejack takes the cake in her own story by being able and willing to stare directly into the Well of Forever, a pool of knowledge that tells all uncomfortable truths as a way to cope with her Brutal Honesty issue with Discord. This is quite a feat on its own, but then she tops herself by jamming her hoof into the pool's safety mechanism when her self control starts to waver, and stares down the Truth until she is forcibly cut off, and she's still game for another round. She spends the night at Canterlot Castle to decompress and the very next day, still with a torn up hoof, she takes it upon herself to use her new insight to help everypony she can get to reassert themselves, and hits a half dozen before sundown. Who is best pony?
 * One of the things she sees is what happened if Applebloom hadn't escaped Sunny Town. The alternate Applejack finds out and pretty much goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge, destroying the town singlehoofedly. Do not mess with Applejack's little sis!
 * One of the other things she sees is a subtle one.
 * Another thing she sees is
 * Twilight gets one in Trixie's reharmonizing by keeping her wits about her through Loneliness' illusion of an insane asylum and catching the fact she'd said her THREE friends, not SIX had brought her there. Loneliness hadn't mentioned Princess Celestia at all, and both things any real doctor taking care of an insane pony would know about her, but Trixie wouldn't.
 * Trixie gets one by finally breaking free of Loneliness' spell, and coming out of Discord a better pony than when she came in, completely obliterating Loneliness in the process.
 * Luna actually gaining control over her identity as Nightmare Moon when Discord's games threaten to turn her into a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds. And then it's shown that she sent Twilight's letters, due to her sister being Discorded into a useless child, and floats it right under his nose, because "Why the hell not?"
 * Luna wasn't as lucky as Applejack when she looked in the Well Of Forever, but by taking the full brunt of it and learning the entirety of all Truth and All the Myriad Ways, it's a wonder she's hasn't completely lost it. Consider that she had the entire millennium that she was banished, including the fate of everyone she knew revealed to her in eidetic detail to mull over, and the What Could Have Been. Possibly advance information on Nightmare Moon, depending on how the timeline breaks down.
 * One of the thing she learns is that G1 Mimic threw down with Discord after he broke down the Rainbow of Light into the Elements, and kicked his teeth in. Granted, it was the last thing she ever did as a solid state of matter, but there's a good reason he only has the one fang.
 * This moment was so Badass that a fan saw fit to make fanart of it. The Defiant to the End expression on her face just makes it all the more awesome!
 * The fanfiction version makes it even more epic by explaining that On top of this, Discord had told her that there's no way she could so much as scratch him. After she does, knowing he's going to kill her regardless, she says this;

 * The fanfiction version makes it even more epic by explaining that On top of this, Discord had told her that there's no way she could so much as scratch him. After she does, knowing he's going to kill her regardless, she says this;

"Mimic: One more thing Discord. I think I should tell you. You know the rainbow that connects this world with the world of humans? Discord: Oh yes. Lovely place. I intend to visit there after I'm bored with this dump. Mimic: Don't pack your bags. Megan on her side, and Celestia on our side shattered it. You'll never torture another human again. Discord: You ...you ... you ..."
 * We finally see this moment in all its glory in "Origins". Its every bit as epic as it was hinted to be, made even more so because . And she gets the satisfaction of not only being the only mortal pony to harm Discord in such a way he couldn't heal from it, she manages to utterly destroy his Smug Snake facade for the entire fight without even touching him:

" : At least I can say I went out with a bang."
 * Meanwhile, during her reign with Celestia, Luna bests a resurrected Tirek on her own for the position of "Bringer of Night and Moon" and claimed his demonic chariot as spoils of war, the one she used to crash Nightmare Night in Ponyville. And it's used for joyriding.
 * Fluttercruel and Pinkie Pie subduing and calming down the berserk Rainbow Dash. Even more impressive is that Fluttercruel manages to do it non-violently! Well, non-violent for Fluttercruel, anyway. Pinkie Pie's profound yet still in character story is also a big moment for her.
 * Zecora is the only pony known to shake off Discord's influence under her own self control, and the Manes have to hold her to going to a doctor because she doesn't want them to spend time on her when there are other ponies worse off.
 * alexwarlorn, the author, rewrote the opening of the Fluttercruel Reprise chapter to canonize with Luna Eclipse in a matter of hours.
 * And rewrote four chapters to fit the reveals of "Sisterhooves Social"!
 * The mane cast and Trixie singing the show's theme song in the penultimate chapter is easily one of the most awesome moments of the fanfic. It's also a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming. Now if only one of the fan music composures or fandubbers would get their hands on this...
 * How they do it is particularly awesome and perfectly in character:
 * It is also implied that
 * A group of fans assembling to do an audio version of the fanfic!
 * Worth noting especially is Fluttershy's voice actress, who manages to do her Discording point in such a way that it's both absolutely chilling and completely heartwrenching without overselling it. She also deserves props for being able to deliever Fluttershy and Fluttercruel with the same voice but managing to make them sound like completely different characters based entirely on how their lines are given.

"Sweetie Belle: My big sister owns Carousel Boutique, we sell to Canterlot and super-stars! Applebloom's family founded Ponyville! Scootaloo is apprentice to Best Young Flyers' Reigning Champion and world record holder for Sonic Rainbooms! (forces Scootaloo and Applebloom to bow along with her) Madam!"
 * Even more impressive?
 * Easy to miss, but
 * This absolutely epic piece of fanart for Trixie's Discording. It was also used for the Audio Adaptation.
 * Sweetie Belle telling off Silverspoon's mother for calling the Cutie Mark Crusaders urchins and considering them too lowly She tops it off by ending it on a completely polite note.

"Well. That was thrilling."
 * The Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike, and managing to travel through time. Keep in mind this is a group of fillies and a baby dragon who manage to do travel through time on accident.


 * While "Generational Transitions" has quite a few, one impressive one is
 * From the Optional Canon, we get Cadence. You know how Cadence is a Badass Princess in Canon? Well, in this universe, she defeated Havoc, a GOD of Social Fears (well his avatar) all on her own. The indication from Celestia being that this was the only plausible explanation
 * Worth noting is that this carries off of Origins, where
 * It's an Alternate Timeline, but Shady: Line of Fate has
 * It's a minor example and nothing comes of it, but one has to give credit to Dr. Hoof Wave in "Different From Everypony Else", where it's shown that within minutes of encountering Discord, he managed to accurately deduce his family situation and diagnose it as the cause of his insanity and cruelty. And this is after it was shown that his colleagues have no real respect for his methods, proving that he's a bit of a Bunny Ears Doctor. Of course, Discord being Discord, afterwards he immediately discords the unfortunate Hoof Wave into a nihilist who doesn't even believe that rational thought exists.
