This story is a sequel to Before the Friendship Games: Dean Cadance
Principal Abacus Cinch is the Headmistress of Crystal Prep Academy, and there's nothing she won't do to ensure victory for her school. Even if some would call her methods... amoral.
Eighth and final book of Crystal Prep Chronicles: Before the Friendship Games.
Part of "Not Just Any Old Continuity", which includes
Not Just Any Old Trilogy
The Anon-A-Miss Saga
TimberTwi Tales
Check out all of my stories here!
I know this si the final one as you wrote on the summary. But is it, will there be one dealing with the aftermath of the games?
Because every single one ends at the end of the games, all i know is Cadence does become the new Principal, as mentioned in one of the EG shorts, but none is mention of Cinch's fate or what happened.
i want to see one where each chapter deals with how the characters deal with the aftermath, how they feel and any regrets, like i said in comments on the other one.
How do they deal with driving Twilight to becoming a Demon that nearly destroyed the world and such.

This is the last book of the first part of the Crystal Prep Chronicles. The next part is going to be called Altered Perspectives, and the first book will take place right after the Friendship Games (the event, not the movie itself.)
Huh... that was my first guess when Papa Cinch was described, but then you mentioned Radiant Hope was married and I thought maybe this continuity had a good Sombra.

That was but a red herring, my friend.

YES! Finally wanted to see what happens afterwards and what they go thru.
Quite a start! After reading your last seven tales in this series, I'm especially intrigued to see things from Cinch's angle.

Glad to know you're enjoying them.
I almost felt bad for Cinch last chapter(or was it the chapter before last...)... glad I didn't now.
Wait. I thought Cinch was the one that announced that Amore 'retired'?

Ah, nice catch.
You'd think I'd have a better handle on my own continuity...9707703
Actually, I reread the last story a bit. Cinch announced Amore's retirement in the school paper. Heartless and tactless at the same time.
Yep, Cinch has some issues....
If Cinch only knew how much she had to worry about with Cadance.
I've been swinging between feeling sorry for Cinch, and the exact opposite of feeling sorry for her pretty much every chapter.
That said, it's not like she doesn't deserve this mental anguish.
Is she possibly receiving some type of premonition about what's to come? I seriously doubt it's some type of guilt.
woah
As much as I hate Cinch in the story arcs. This wow, is pretty bad for her. I almost feel sorry for her, but the answer is so clear. She feeling guilt over her sin, she not like her father a monster who was a heartless monster.
To bad it may be too late now.
You'd think that someone as obsessed with academic perfection as Cinch would implement testing more standardized than "as long as I feel like".
First time I heard of someone wanting a nightmare.
And her guilt keeps growing.
Is she reliving the night her mama died?

Will you be making a series of stories that take place after the Friendship Games, similar to this one?

This isn't the last Crystal Prep story, and that's all I'm going to tell you.
Well, this helps explain why Cinch chose to 'convince' Twilight to participate.
I feel a "you truly are your father's child." is coming Cinch's way, probably from Cadence, most likly at the climax of the games, and it'll break her.
Well then!
After the previous stories built up just what levels Cinch had sunk to, I wondered what it would be like to get a full-length story from her perspective, and if she somehow might not be quite as pure evil as she‘s made out to be.... Well, she certainly is evil, yet still the tiniest bit sympathetic, and it seems she’s in for even rougher times. Good work.

Thanks! =)

I know, right? Sorry it took so long.
So, now Cinch finally finds out the meaning of her nightmares. Now what?
I wouldn't wish dementia on anyone. Yet, I still see the irony of it.
I would like to think of this as the 'before' chapter. When Cinch still thought her legacy would continue to prosper.
People call her methods ‘amoral’, I say ‘down right wrong’.

Please don't tell me she's being serious on the killing people part is she?
Interesting how it's handled here in the human realm.
Your gonna regret saying that later Cinch.
Now there's something that would definitely piss someone off who's looking for love!
Not always Cinch, no one is perfect at everything.

https://m.Which is a ridiculous thing to say considering a streak like that would be impossible to accomplish, let alone its purpose.
She's gonna regret saying that later for sure.

Which you deserve to suffer in.

That last one doesn't count as relaxing if you ask me.
Of course.

She could always not do it for once if you ask me. Won't be hurting anyone.

Saying 'got rose from her desk' makes no sense/doesn't match the sentence imo.
There's something to piss off Princess Twilight.

Wait what!?!?
You kinda deserve it.

I... I honestly don't know what to say about this... at all.
Or she should consider a temporary leave of absence to clear her mind of her job and stress.
Despite Cinch's dark past and the cruel things she's done as principal of crystal prep, seeing her let go of those tears was a good thing. While I do somewhat agree she should've hold them in, knowing she's been going through a lot lately, even if it's mostly bad, no one should hold on to their feelings whether it's good or bad.
