Actually, a fic based on this pic would be great.
I've played around with the idea of Silvertongue stuck in some sort of limbo that resembles a primordial wilderness...I'm not quite sure why, but I just pictured it that way.
Each of his "daughters" were born under extremely strange circumstances. Curacao awoke, emerging with false memories from a certain magical pond that was destined to return to when anypony said to her face that she wasn't real, or when the time ran out. Silvertongue vaporized the pond and when Curacao started to realize she wasn't really his daughter and her life had been a lie, Silvertongue admonished her and told her he wouldn't let anypony slander her with filthy lies about who or what is and isn't real. She is his daughter, and the truth will never run fast enough to escape what's already been burned into its flesh.
Havocwing woke up in the ashes of Sivertongue and Curacao's campfire. She was a bully who refused help until she got in over her head with the monsters of the forest. Those Timber wolves burn easily, but when they combine its a different story. Although she insisted on being the bigger sister of Curacao when she adopted Silvertongue as her father, Silver said that Curacao was born first, and besides, she was more mature and knew more about how to be a sister.
Red Velvet began as a single drop of blood spilt on the forest floor when Silvertongue cut himself protecting Havocwing from the giant Timberwolf. In the presence of both the fillies' fear and horror at seeing their protector bleed feed into the bloodstain, which had already animated by the strange magic of the forest. The blood spot became an ooze and slithered into the ground and feed on worms and insects before it sent out bits of itself to grab small animals and drag them back down into its lair, and eventually a pink filly "hatched" out of the earth, and took up residence in a spooky castle, feeding on the fear of beasts, but sorely remembering the delicious fear other little fillies were capable of.
Then Silvertongue and his daughters took shelter in the castle, believing it to be safe. That's when Red Velvet sealed the larger alicorn in his room while he slept and had her fun with the fillies. She absorbed so much fear from Havoc and Curacao that she became nigh invincible. Until Daddy woke up, and broke the horror instantly by making her burp up all the fear she had accumulated.
It came out in a humorous little green cloud, and Havoc, who had been so terrified moments before in the grimdarkness, burst out laughing. Curacao couldn't really contain herself either. Red, however, not merely empty of fear but unable to feel it anymore for the first time in her life, was so terrified that she began to cry. She asked what had been done to her. Silvertongue explained that she was getting better. Red thought that she was dying. She had to get fear, but she couldn't find it! Need it now! Need it now! NEED IT NOW! I'M GOING TO STARVE WITHOUT IT! NEED IT-
A hug. "Shh-shh. Shhhh.... Its okay. You're going to be fine. It might not feel like it, but you're finally well." After a long heart-to-heart, and a good talking to to Havocwing about what being a big sister was really all about (which MIGHT have involved for one moment talking about Red Velvet being in charge of not only Havocwing but Curacao for her to get that it was about how to help the other take care of their new baby sister rather than authority and finally understand why Curacao really was the best oldest sister. And he couldn't trust Red Velvet with that kind of responsibility without somepony showing her how its done.), they brought Red Velvet into their little family...
Some other crisis or another occurs in the middle of a strange...molting spell Silvertongue is having. This isn't supposed to happen to an Alicorn's wings. Ever. And he's losing them at an alarming rate. What's more, they feel unnaturally heavy for feathers. Then a certain enemy shows up to try and control the alicorn by taking the two earth pony fillies hostage. Seeing that her father can no longer fly, Havocwing tries to defeat the enemy, but gets captured herself. Silvertongue saves the day in a dramatic fashion, molting all of his feathers in the process. When he starts to bemoan his naked wings, the girls give him encouragement.
Havocwing: "It's...really not that big of a deal. And you were a total badflank!"
Curacao: "Oui! Yes, Papa! You were...fantastique!"
Red Velvet: "Don't worry, daddy! Me and Clottles will get anypony who even thinks about making fun of you! You're the best daddy ever!"
Grayscale Force: "Meh...he doesn't look all THAT tough."
Silver, Red, Havoc, Cura: 0_0
Grayscalle: "...What?"
...and so on and so forth. Insipid will probably be born from something that got the magic sucked out of it, and Starlight would come, of course, from Silver's eye, or maybe pull an Athena* and come from his own mind, but she "escapes" through his eye.
*-Athena was born from Zues' brain. Her birth gave him such a headache...
Silvertongue is put out of commission from the shock, and in the power vaccuum, Starlight tries to take over, demanding the fillies (and just about every other creature) treat her like a queen. She actually DOES make a pretty good "final boss" her beginning stage combines Grayscale's disregard for Silvertongue with Havocwing's stubbornness and Red Velvet's dangerous power level, and dials it all up to eleven. All while Silvertongue is at his most helpless.
Its such a shame I'm in a horrendous stalemate with that other fic I'm writing....I also am playing around with a Mother 1 ponyfic starting the CMC that's on the back burner...

Heh, has a PHD is being best dad. Just wait till he "tells" them how they were created. I love how Havoc Wing is the one hiding behind Silvertounge. Just a question of curiosity, how many times did you have to write that signature?
