Neat to find you doing a full story on Princess Twilight. Looking forward to more.
Now for the wait...
This kind of reminds me of that one episode of Star Trek: TNG, when the aliens wipe their memories, but the crew figures it out based on a bunch of little things.
Dammit, Ragous, you just keep being awesome, you hear?!
Intriguing. Do go on, please.
Hmn, that was a pretty interesting start, and nice use of the dropped Star Spiders.
At the moment I am thinking that the girls' in-show visit involved some accidental time travel back to before Celestia retrieved her journal, but there are some huge flaws in that idea that would need to be explained away, so I'm not particularly attached to it.
Reading this story is giving me a sense of deja vu. I remember reading something exactly like where twilight realizes something is wrong, but like... 6 moths ago. Considering this story is about deja vu, it's kinda freaky.
It involved the star spiders as well. I have no words for how to describe how this situation makes me feel.
3602831 Eh, it might be a bit early to be tossing that word around; the story's only just begun. Nevertheless, I appreciate your enthusiasm and support!
3604703 Those spiders were meant to be something more, I suspect. It's strange that they introduced a special creature only to ignore it for the rest of the episode.
3603243 I shall. Stay tuned!
Oh man, this is exciting! Always been a sucker for supernatural, haunting vibes, so this story is definitely striking a chord with me. I very eagerly await a continuation. Your writing is always pure gold, Raugos. Rarely do I find authors whose every work excels, and it's always a pleasure to read what you put out.
I've also always been a sucker for this wording when it comes to Spike and Twilight.
Wow! I'm looking forward to this continuing
.
I'm very interested to see where this is going.
Great writing, although it seems really fucking stupid to get yourself bitten by a spider. Though I guess Twilight Sparkle could panic and do something like that.
Will the Pony of Shadows be appearing in this story?
3723721 Maybe...?
Mysterious... I want to know what happens next!
All that from a spider bite? Or something a little more sinister?
Wow! I'm confuzzled, if the clean library is fake, does that mean the whole thing was a dream?
Need more data, please. Can not reason understand go.
So, did they somehow discover another castle?
So, a grey female unicorn with a turquoise mane & tail and a green magical aura? Looks like we just found Summer Cloud.
Sorry Twilight, but your library is in another castle.
YAY, the first fanfiction based on an episode of Season 4 and it's already one about the old castle!
I really like the story so far!
There is only one thing I have to criticize:
It seems a bit odd that Twilight suddenly refers to Spike as her brother.
I know, they have something like a sibling relationship, but it would feel more reasoned that she says that, when there would be some sort of introduction to it that she sees Spike as that.
I know that this is a common thing and well known fact in the fandom, but since the story plays in her own, little universe it would give her more sense when there would be an introduction to that.
But that's all, everything else is great, I especially love the idea that Twilight let herself being bitten by a star spider to enhance her senses!
I'm excited to see how it goes on!
Wooh, the second chapter doesn't disappoint!
It was already very intense in the first chapter and now this has doubled!
You captured the atmosphere of the castle very well and you brought it to a even higher level!
You describes the place so well, that I as a reader can really feel that something is there, in the same way Twilight and Spike do.
I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
This was wonderfully trippy. I'm so curious as to how this false library corresponds with the real one, if the decayed one even is real, and how that might correspond with the events of Castle-Mania. You've successfully disoriented me in the best way possible; I have no idea what to believe. As I said in my comment on the first chapter, I'm loving these haunting, spooky vibes – the sense of wrongness 'just beyond perception'.
3994914 Thanks. I just hope I don't disappoint when the truth finally gets out in the open.
Great story so far! I'm surprised it doesn't have a horror tag, from the tone of the first two chapters.
Can't wait for more!
So I'm thinking that the whole thing is an hallucination, and they're still out cold on the library floor. Since the place is too detailed to be made up by their minds, I think they're actually looking into a pocket dimension, the librarian is a ghost, and this whole place is her purgatory. It still doesn't explain why they didn't notice any of this the first time, unless they did and their memories have been tampered with.
Hah! I knew it! Pocket dimension! And Nightmare Moon caused the forest, I bet she made this place too. It certainly makes sense that the worlds foremost expert on dream magic would make the worlds most realistic dream.

"Clues" was the name of that TNG episode, I think.
My family hired the VHS from the video store 18 years ago - it had "Schisms" on the tape too from memory.
And just like reading this fic, it was watched at night.
But guess which one is giving me the creeps!!!!
Now it's 47 minutes past midnight - Spike and Twilight are trapped in a world not theirs - creepy magic all around - .....and I can't read past chapter three because it hasn't been written!!!
Of all the stories I could have read before sleep....
Note to author: please finish!! You can't leave Twi, Spike and your readers in this state!!
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Is he really dead or is it just a place displaced from time?

Another year, i would seem :p
Oh my god, Raugos. I never realized exactly what this fic was until this moment. You MUST continue. I beg of you. I've needed answers for so long.
Can we not wait another year and a half for the next chapter?
"Shadow of the Castle", woohoohoohoohoohoohoohoohoo! It's alive! It's really alive! The Shadow is alive!
Damn, if I wouldn't be so tired right now after staying up the whole night and catching up with EQD I would read this right now!
Can't wait to wake up again! This is going to be a restless sleep from anticipation!
Holy moly, I actually had no idea it had been so long. I was extremely excited to see an update for the story in my notifications.
We get both a few answers – or at least implications – and a bunch more questions in this chapter that I'm eager to see continued. Not much else to say about this chapter other than that your writing is sharp as always, and of course I'm so glad to see the story lives!
Has it really been that long? Perhaps my memory is going the same as the characters in this story.
Hmm, what if Twilight's friends come after her? Will they see her body of will they be trapped with Twilight and Spike?
Or, did they even leave the Castle after the first time?
Damn, my mind is blown. Well, I can't see "Alternate Universe" tag, so I think Twilight will wake up at some point. And maybe her first journey to the Castle was not fake but the second one?
Wait, what if she has been dreaming after she fought with Nightmare Moon? What if Princess Luna's return is fake?
Holy apples, I better not think about it.
Author, you've earned my appreciation. Good work.
This is a bit confusing, but i think i get the gist of it.
I'm glad I found this story. I just hope that the update schedule will be more consistent.
Welp, this be creepy as all hell. Consider me hooked, and I hope you'll write the next chapter soon.
Yeah... when Summer was describing that nopony actually told anyone I figured there may be a problem with remembering it or believing it was real...
Boy, this is one hell of a mystery you got here. Can't wait to hear how it ends!
That would explain why nobody rescued her before. Even the Dragon couldn't remember. Took an alicorn to pull it off.
Oooo, and not done yet? That felt like it could've been an endpoint, but... not gonna argue a bit!
Hooray! Are you going to continue?
This chapter was fantastic! I can't wait for Celestia and Luna to get involved. Given the delicate complexity and surreal nature of Summer Cloud's dimension, I think Luna will probably have to be the one who sets her free.
I really hope you give us one more chapter, even though this could be a great end point. Here's to hoping.
Golly....
ah gosh what a way to end the chapter...
Very good! Six out of five!
This story is one of the few E stories that I actually like. And, so far, it is my favorite!
A very nice adventure story. Nothing too big, and just the right size and depth. A great read, in my opinion.
I give it 5/5 stars.
Really interesting story, and splendid execution. It was a pleasure to read this. Thank you.
When I did realize who it was, I am told the sound I made resembled a breathy, squeaky, "hweeee." I have wanted to know the answer to this question for a very long time.
So, when's the epilogue chapter with our two favourite transfigured guardsponies coming along? Learning that they weren't the only ones preserved, after a fashion, will be a very interesting story all its own. Especially Anvil's reaction. . .
Wow, now it's even complete. I wanted to wait with this, but I need to write a comment NOW.
I feel terribly stupid. I was asking so much for this to be continued and when it finally did, I couldn't get around to reading it because stuff happened and my time management became poor again for a while, so I just didn't find time to read it.
I watched chapter after chapter come out and hoped I would fix my schedule again soon so that I can catch up quickly then, but I never made it. And that after I was the main motivator behind it that you continued it.....
I feel so stupid.
Sure you were wondering why I never read it and why I never said anything about the new chapters. I'm sorry for that. That's all I can say.
And I want to let you know that I'm still interested in the story. And that I'm glad that you didn't get demotivated in continuing it because I never reacted to the new chapters.
I'm going to read it as soon as I can and write something about every chapter and give you detailed feedback for it then.
