Indeed... but also inspired by the works of one "Gairon" on deviantart. As I recall, in his "Happy to Serve You" comic series, Nemu Kurotsuchi is shown as having a mini-fridge in her stomach.

Quote: "Another good chapter with a few nice edits. What will you be working on next?"

Glad you like, and I've actually finished the next part already - "Diamond in the Lab" is coming up right after this.

Quote: "Also, have you thought about maybe doing another story? I'm fine with this one, just curious if you have any other projects in mind."

I have a partially written and plotted Equestria Girls vore story, with Sunset Shimmer as the protagonist, who enjoys eating and being eaten (she's got a permanent spell that revives those she eats). And her friends get in on the act when she admits the truth to them.

Quote: "If you're interested in my stuff, I've listed them all in the Applebloom thread. If you like any of them feel free post in their respective threads-I already feel a bit bad about plugging my stuff in your thread."

Will take a look.

And now, #5 (in in-universe chronological order):

MLP Guro series #5: "Diamond in the Lab"
- Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon's parents sell them to Twilight and Rarity for harvesting, and the two find unexpected friendships after being reduced to disembodied brains.

***
Rarity hummed contentedly as she moved around her shop. Oh, this day will be just perfect, she told herself. Perhaps not the kind of day of which I've dreamed since I was small... but still ever so exciting! She had to restrain herself from squealing in delight.

Just the other day, Filthy Rich had come into Carousel Boutique to discuss, quietly, how much he could get from her for his daughter's parts. "I really don't know what to do with her anymore," he'd confessed. "Since your sister and her friends were harvested, she's only gotten worse, and... well, I really don't think there's any chance of her changing for the better. So how much do you want for her?" Rarity had been taken aback, but had accepted his offer, and had made arrangements to accept delivery at Twilight's castle the next afternoon. Not long after, Silver Spoon's parents had come in with the same offer, but with the addition that Filthy Rich would be delivering her along with his own daughter, and Rarity had accepted this deal as well.

Checking the time, she snatched up the bag with her equipment. It was time to go harvest!

~*~

Meanwhile, over at her castle, Twilight was in the parlor, chatting rather lively with Filthy Rich.

"So you see, the spell I cast on the girls will keep their brains alive, even after it's been removed from their bodies, just like it did the others I've been harvesting," Twilight explained. "Once they're in their jars, you can come over anytime and talk to either of them if you want."

"That's very generous of you, Princess," the Earth pony man replied. "But given I'm the one who's sending Diamond here, I don't know if she'd be happy to hear from me."

"Well, that's your choice. Like I said, you're welcome to drop in any time." Twilight smiled. "Especially since you're helping support my other little project. The vats are doing well, and the first shipment should be ready for harvest and delivery within the week."

"I look forward to it, Princess." Filthy Rich bowed. "And I suspect my customers will as well. Barnyard Bargains brand Mare-Meat is sure to be a best-seller."

"Indeed it will." Twilight looked at him as he stood up. "Well, I suppose I should let you go."

"Indeed." Filthy Rich bowed. "Your highness, it has been an honor to do business with you and miss Rarity. I shall see you both again in a few days."

"Likewise." Twilight's head cocked. "Until then, Mr. Rich." She led him to the door, and watched him go.

Moments later, Rarity came rushing up. "Am I late, darling? Are they here?"

"They're here." Twilight smiled. "Let's get to work."

"Yes... let's." Rarity held up her bag. "Oh, I do hope I brought everything I need."

"I'm sure you did, Rarity. I'm sure you did." Twilight led her into the lab, where two naked, silenced girls lay on the steel tables, while Liza Doolots stood to one side, double-checking the tools and jars she'd set up. She looked up as her teacher and Rarity entered the room.

"Everything's ready, Miss Twilight!"

"Thank you, Liza." Twilight ruffled her apprentice's hair, then turned to the tables. "Well, here we are, girls."

Diamond Tiara glared at them from her table.

"Don't look at me like that," Twilight told the pink-skinned girl. "You knew your father was going to have you harvested someday. Now, it's time. And Rarity's going to be the one to cut you up, just like she did her sister."

Diamond's eyes widened before Twilight cast the paralysis spell on her, and looked at Rarity. "She's all yours. Liza and I will be in the next room over, so we don't disturb you."

"Thank you, Twilight." Rarity flashed her a smile. As Twilight and Liza rolled Silver Spoon's table out of the room, the fashionista turned back to Diamond. "Now... you're going to make a lovely pink leather jacket, my dear. And once that's ready... oh, the things I can do with the rest of you." She smiled, and then began to sing as she held up a scalpel:

"Slice by slice, cutting all around,
Making sure that every move's just right,
A little bit of magic keeps you from bleeding out,
Oh it's an absolutely wondrous sight."

The scalpel pressed into Diamond Tiara's bare flesh, and in an instant had cut a thin line down her breastbone, from collar to the bottom of her belly, and another quick slice around the top and bottom of her torso. As Rarity began cutting again, she continued to sing.

"Now we peel the skin off, and go back to the top,
To cut into the arms on either side,
Oh Diamond please don't cry, you'll soon see my dear,
The artwork I am making from your hide!"

While she couldn't make a sound anymore, on the inside, Diamond Tiara was screaming in terror.

~*~

Over in her secondary lab, Twilight was looking over her tools, then turned to Silver Spoon. Unlike her friend, she merely looked sad, and Twilight was almost hesitant to start cutting into her. Then she shook her head.

"I'm sorry about this, Silver Spoon. But a deal's a deal, and you're getting harvested." She cast the paralysis spell, then looked at Liza. "You know what to do."

Liza nodded. Setting the scalpel to Silver Spoon's arm, she cast the sealing spell and began carefully slicing the skin away. Down one side, and with careful cuts at each end, she removed the skin from the girl's arm, then did the same on the other side. Next, just like Rarity, she began slicing down Silver Spoon's breastbone, neatly bisecting her flesh. After making further cuts around her collarbone and waistline, she carefully peeled the skin away from the muscle, and set it aside. "We're making a coat out of her, just like Diamond Tiara, aren't we?" she asked Twilight.

Twilight nodded. "That's absolutely right. Now, we're going to cut around her little cunny and make a purse out of it, just like Rarity did with Sweetie Belle... and just like she's doing with Diamond Tiara right now," she added as she looked towards the other lab.

Had she been able to move, Silver Spoon's eyes would have widened in fear.

Stepping back, Twilight watched as Liza expertly cut into Silver Spoon's flesh again. Slice after careful slice, she removed the hide from the muscle, and soon had the outer layers unhooked from Silver Spoon's cervix. Holding it up in triumph, she handed the portion of flesh to Twilight, who smiled and took it over to one side of the room. "While I'm doing this, you can finish cutting the rest of the skin off her legs," she told her apprentice.

"Mm-hmm!" Liza nodded, and then began cutting once more, while Twilight began working with the skin she'd been given. While no expert seamstress like Rarity, she was more than capable of handling this particular task (especially when Rarity had shown her how to do so with another girl from Fillydelphia just a few days before). In a few minutes, she had the little purse ready, and took it over to Silver Spoon.

"See what we made from you?" she asked the younger girl. "It's lovely, isn't it? Your family's going to be so happy when they see what we've made of you." She glanced at Liza. "We need to get the rest of the skin off her head now."

Liza nodded, and the two set to work. A few minutes later, the last of the silver-skinned girl's outer flesh had been set aside, and the pair were approaching her once more, with a scalpel, a jar and a mirror in their hands.

When the second of her eyes came out, Silver Spoon inwardly sighed in relief. Now, she wouldn't have to see what they were doing to her anymore.

~*~

Back in the main lab, Rarity was busily working with the flesh she'd removed from Diamond Tiara's legs. "You know, it's ironic," she remarked. "After all the fun you had with those panties made from my sister's skin, you're going to get turned into a set as well. Two sets, actually. There's just enough here for it."

Diamond's eyes were still wide as she lay there, unable to move as Rarity continued her work.

"Now, I think we're just about done here. I've taken all of your skin, including your cute little cunny." Rarity held up the purse she'd made from Diamond's most intimate portion, and smiled. "You should be proud, you know. Not very many girls get the opportunity to become one of these, and now you and Silver Spoon are going to join their ranks. Just like my dear sister did."

Diamond said nothing.

"And now, I'm going to finish skinning you. Just imagine what it will look like, once your head is all stuffed and hanging on my wall. Your father told me I could keep it as a trophy, you know. And your little friend Silver Spoon too." She smiled. "It's too bad I can't use your eyes for something like I did Sweetie Belle's, but Twilight really, really likes using those herself. I'll let her take them once she's ready." Selecting a scalpel, she leaned down, and laid a gentle kiss on the smaller girl's lips. "Enjoy, dear." With that, she began cutting. And just as she'd pulled the last of the skin away from Diamond's head, Twilight returned, carrying a jar, mirror and scalpel.

"Hey, Rarity." Twilight gestured to Diamond's body. "Is she ready for me?"

"Very much so," Rarity told her. "See?" She held up the skin from Diamond Tiara's head.

"Good. Silver Spoon's eyes and brain are in their jars, and Liza's busy harvesting her organs, so she doesn't need any help for now." Twilight glanced at Diamond Tiara. "If you'll hold the mirror, I'll take her eyes."

"Certainly." Rarity accepted the small hand mirror from Twilight, holding it up to Diamond's face and watching, fascinated, as the other woman began carefully slipping her blade behind the first eyeball. When it was out and into its jar, she moved to the other side, and set to cutting the second eye from its socket. Once it was in the jar, Twilight set the scalpel down, held up the jar, and muttered her spell. A tiny flash of light later, and she had the lid on the jar.

"There, that's done. In forty days, we can use her eyes to animate a statue." She looked at Rarity. "Speaking of statues, how's the one of Suri I gave you doing?"

"Oh, she's a wonderful model," Rarity told her with a smile. "And she's extremely useful for fetching things when I need them."

"Good to hear it," Twilight told her. "Now, we can take Diamond's brain. We need to cut the extra flesh off her skull, and then we can cut the skull open." She pointed. "The jar's right there."

"So I see." Rarity looked down at the fleshless girl. "Do you want to cut, or shall I?"

"I'll let you do it," Twilight told her. "I'll do the skull and brain. Then we can start taking the rest of her organs. Do you want her womb?"

"Oh, absolutely." Rarity began cutting into the muscle around Diamond Tiara's head. "They make such wonderful soles."

"So I've heard." Twilight watched her friend work, and when she was done, accepted the scalpel. "I may have to try a pair made with it myself someday."

"If you ever do, you know where to get them," Rarity told her cheerfully.

A few minutes of work later, and Diamond Tiara's brain was out and in her jar, and all the lights were red. Twilight winced. "That's not good."

"Oh?"

Twilight nodded. "Her brain's screaming. She wasn't really ready for this..." She shook her head. "If she doesn't get better, she may go insane and die, like that one stallion did. Not one of mine," she added hastily at Rarity's horrified look. "It was in Fillydelphia, back before I started my operation. Starlight actually came close, but... we managed to save her. It was a close call though."

"Oh dear."

"Oh dear is right." She looked at the brain. "I've got to take care of this. Can you finish taking out the rest of her organs? And save the ovaries for me, I need the DNA for my research."

"Indeed." Rarity looked at the skinless body. "I presume you want her bones for your work too?"

"You know me well." Twilight smiled. "Liza can help you once she's finished with Silver Spoon. Her brain's doing a lot better than we expected, actually. Not up there with the Crusaders in accepting it, but she's not screaming either."

"That's good." Rarity turned to the body and began slicing the belly open. "I do hope Diamond gets better. I'm afraid I may have... gone a little far while I was cutting into her."

"I see. Well, I haven't lost a patient yet, and I'm not about to lose one now." She looked at the brain. "You hear me, Diamond Dazzle Tiara? I am not giving up on you!" With that, she marched out of the room, the brain jar in her arms, leaving Rarity and the skinless body behind.

Shaking her head, Rarity looked after them with a smile. "Oh, Twilight... you do have a way with ponies."

Then, reaching into the body cavity with a scalpel, she grimaced. "Of course, she had to leave me with this part."

~*~

Several hours later, Twilight returned to the lab. "Well, I think she's doing at least a little better," she reported. "How about you two?"

Liza gave her a thumbs-up. "Organs harvested, meat packed and in the freezer, and Miss Rarity's helping me clean the bones. We're just about done!"

"Good to hear it," Twilight told her with a smile. "Rarity?"

"Your apprentice is a wonderful little assistant," Rarity replied as she wiped down one of the smaller bones she was looking at. "If she weren't so loyal to you, I'd be tempted to steal her away for myself."

"Not a chance," Liza told her with a laugh. "I made a promise to Miss Twilight that I'd be hers forever, and I'm going to keep it."

Twilight's eyes glistened for a moment, then she shook her head. "I'm happy to hear that, Liza." She glanced past them. "And how are you doing, Silver Spoon?"

The brain jar on the counter, its lights glowing various shades of pink, hesitated before a scared-sounding voice came from its speakers. "I... I'm okay, I think." It hesitated. "Maybe you should let me talk to Diamond. I am her best friend, maybe I can help her."

Twilight shrugged. "It can't hurt. By the way, if I scared you while I was harvesting you, I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I deserved that." The jar was quiet. "And this. I really, really shouldn't have let Diamond talk me into... into some of the stuff I did. But she was my first and only real friend, I didn't want to lose her."

"I understand." Twilight picked up the jar. "Come on, I'll take you to her."

"Thank you," the jar told her.

"You're welcome."

~*~

Two days, and then two weeks, passed. During that time, Twilight spent a lot of time in her Brain Room, watching over the newest additions to her collection. Meanwhile, Rarity finished the jackets she'd started, and they and the other items she and Twilight had made from the two girls went on display in her shop. They sold quickly, much to her delight, and for a good price. She also re-sold the outfit made from Sweetie Belle - Filthy Rich had sold the entire set back to her the day after his daughter and Silver Spoon went under the knife.

And at the end of the second week, he finally returned to Twilight's castle.

"Mr. Rich!" Twilight happily greeted him. "Here for the next meat shipment? It's ready."

"That would be nice, especially since we sold out of our first order within hours." The Earth Pony man looked at her. "Your steaks were especially fast sellers. And thank you for setting a couple aside for my wife and I. They were delicious!"

"I'm glad you liked them," Twilight told him. "And... you're really here about Diamond Tiara, aren't you."

"I am." Filthy Rich hesitated. "Is... is she all right?"

Twilight smiled. "She's doing just wonderful. Let me show you."

As the two approached the brain room, she gestured toward the window, and pointed in. "At first, she... wasn't happy. At all. She was scared, and upset... but just look at those lights."

Filthy Rich looked through the window, at five jars sitting on the table, their lights all blinking green and blue. "I take it that's a good thing."

"Very much so." Twilight looked at them. "The jars monitor how the brains are doing, and the colors indicate how well they are. Green and blue are signs of happiness and contentment, which is the best possible thing for them."

"Oh good." Filthy Rich looked at the brains again. "Those jars... one of them has my daughter, I take it. Who are the others?"

"The Crusaders and Silver Spoon." Twilight smiled happily. "Those three... after all the times your daughter harassed them, you'd think they wouldn't want anything to do with her. But when they found out she'd been harvested, and that she wasn't taking it well, they reached out to her. They invited her to be their friend. It took a little while, but she accepted it. And now, she's happier than she's been in years." She sighed. "I know it was hard for you... but really, losing her body is the best thing that's ever happened to her."

"I see." Filthy Rich smiled. "Thank you for taking care of her, Twilight. She may have been... well, a pain, but she was still my only child, and I really didn't want to do this to her. But now that I have, and it's helped her so much... I can rest a little easier."

"I'm glad I could help," Twilight told him. "So. While you're here... can I interest you in dinner with Liza and I? I have a couple of Applejack steaks I can throw on the grill."

"That would be lovely, Princess. Thank you."

THE END.

***
At least part of this were inspired by one of TheVisitorBlack's posts in the Furry board's "Alteration Thread". (Specifically, the third post in it.) The original "Sweetie Belle's Gift" was also a direct inspiration for how to handle things.

Rarity's songs were inspired by a mix of "Art of the Dress" and "This Day Aria". (As were the lines at the start.)

I've tried to include a little more detail in the guro section, while still mixing it up somewhat this time around - hope I succeeded.

Also, this marks the in-universe debut of Twilight's vat-grown mare meat business: renewable sources of free-grown flesh, cloned from various ponies, that can be harvested and sold for everyday consumption. (The "whole clones" part is coming later.)

Next up - "The Silence of the Sirens", in which Adagio Dazzle and Aria Blaze get harvested, and Sonata Dusk has a much happier ending. (What can I say, I like her.)
