My name is Twilight Sparkle, and this is how I became a wraith.

The backstory of Twaith from the Twaithverse.

Thank you to Foals Errand for prereading.

Twilight Sparkle receives a new book from Discord chock-full of interesting and unknown facts about draconequi. How fascinating!

Nothing sinister about that, right?

Twilight Sparkle comes across a small, battered diary detailing a new form of transportation. While the research is sloppy and the notes incomplete, Twilight takes it upon herself to see that the ancient project is completed.

Of course, nopony said it would be easy.

A bolt of fire, a mighty crash
A demon turns to powdered ash
Remember the day that Tirek died
And also the day the Princess survived
―Equestrian Nursery Rhyme

Every year, on the day Princess Twilight Sparkle saved Equestria from its greatest threat, she mourns the loss of who she was.

Luna, still a bit unhappy at Celestia for banishing her to the moon for a thousand years, wants to have a small, tiny taste of vengeance. To be exact, she wants to send Celestia to the Sun.

So what is Luna going to do first?

Ask Celestia for permission, of course. Complications eventually occur.

This story is a sequel to Fear Me, for My Name is Twaith!

For a woman of science, intellect, and knowledge, isn't it a little strange that Twilight would use a device that picks up ghosts, or any sort of supernatural entity? Especially when ghosts weren't something even the magical, talking unicorn, Twilight Sparkle, didn't believe in?

Of course, most would consider a wraith and Cthulhu to be strong evidence to become a believer.

Side story for the Twaith universe. Reading it isn't ABSOLUTELY necessary, but it will help to understand some of the jokes.

Also, crossover tag is there for a cameo appearance by Beerus and Whis from Dragonball Z in the beginning.

Thank you to Foals Errand for prereading.

There's a lot of unpleasant surprises that can be found in photo albums. A third pony in what you thought was a private moment, inexpertly applied bodypaint, or just evidence of that time that your mother dressed you up like a burrito.

Twilight Sparkle was expecting to come out of Family Night with a few fresh blushes on her cheeks. What she wasn't expecting was a mysterious pair of wings in her baby pictures.

Hopefully Celestia will have some answers.

Many thanks to Present Perfect for supplying the brilliant concept, and to Evehly for the beautiful artwork.

Set in Lopoddity's Pandora-verse, where Discord and Twilight had a daughter. Pandora wants to know if draconequuses have their own country. After Discord's attempt to correct her pronounciation is mistaken by Pandora for the name of the country, Discord tells her a bedtime story about the fate of the country Draconequui and all the draconequuses that ungrammatically lived within it. And dad-trolls the heck out of her in general. Written with permission.

(Image is actually from moments after Pandora's hatching, though I may replace it if Lopoddity publishes a Discord-and-Pandora image that seems more apropos.)

When rumors start circulating that Princess Celestia has become pregnant, Twilight is quick to dismiss the rumors as impossible. However, when Celestia confirms the rumors to be true, it becomes quite clear to the Princess of Friendship that something is terribly wrong.

EDIT 7/8/2016: This got featured?! Wow, I am really happy about that!

Everyone knows of Twilight Sparkle, personal student to the princess of the sun, and element of magic. She has friends, family, and above all, hope.
However, Twilight Sparkle doesn't exist. In fact, Equestria doesn't exist either. All it is and will ever be is a figment of my imagination. Simply a way to live out the rest of my days with a slight measure of happiness. I am not her, but I would give my horn to be her for but a single day. To have everything, and yet not realise how lucky you are to have such things, to live.
What I am doing right now is not living, this is waiting for death.
