Sometimes, bad things happen to good ponies. A year following a tragic incident, Twilight Sparkle returns to Ponyville to visit what she has been missing - her town, her memories, and most importantly, her friends. But will everything be as she remembers it?
This story has a sequel titled "In History, Maybe".
Must not...
Truly amazing, One of the best fics i've ever read.
I desperately wanted a 'twilight comes back to life' ending
The fact that it states that this story is incomplete got my hopes up for a second chapter with said reviving
That was until I read THE END and you crushed my dreams
also, your writing is very good. One of the best written although sad fics I've read
All I could think of with the cemetry part was This is good. Isn't it?.
Lovely story. Truly beautiful and heartwrenching. Take my like, as well as a moustache. 
Goodbye, Twi.
You took the shiny rock, polished it, and turned it a gem for the internet to see. I said it pre reading, and i say it again. Masterful. This is probably rivaling my little dashie. If this doesn't get featured... I don't know... Just remember, you have the authors behind something epic on your back, we'll get this what it deserves!
I can't believe it. This made me cry harder than "My Little Dashie." I just broke down half a dozen times while reading this story. 
First thing i have to say.
FUCK YOU TRIXIE! BURN FOR ETERNITY YOU MONSTER!
Ok, now that that's out of the way.
This story needs to be spread. It's a great lesson. Appreciate EVERYTHING in your life. Even the hard times, because they make the good times that much sweeter. Also, this story reminded me of my feelings on death. Personally, I'm not scared of death. It's the goodbyes and the absences of the ones you loved that make me sad when I think of death. This story touched me deeper than "My Little Dashie" did. And for that, I thank you sir.
Liked, favorited, and watched. Words simply can not adequately describe this work of literature. This is, without a shadow of a doubt, the most beautiful story, fanfic and other, that I have ever read so far in this life. You are a brilliant author, with skills that I envy. Continue writing amazing stories and I wish you luck and success in your future. 
>>544663 >>544783 you guys....just d'awwww.
>>544416 >>544580 Maybe...MAYBE...there will be an epilogue somewhere down the road. But for now, I'm leaving this as it is.
>>544717 jeez, well I don't think it's nearly THAT good 
But thanks a ton, it means a lot.
>>544451 wow, I didn't even think of that for some reason...now I have an urge to play that game through for probably the tenth time...
Oh god...I've never, even once, in my life described a story, any story at all, as beautiful. This is the first. It's not the saddest story I've ever read, it's not the most heartwarming, but it's honestly one of the best. I literally cannot decide whether to cry, or to smile. This is a top contender, definitely in my top 5 stories I've ever read. This was a complete masterpiece, a heartwarming and heartshattering tale with an important lesson.
Don't stop writing, ever.
Not. One. Tear. Not a single drop. That shows something about my will right there. Or my coldness. I really don't want to know which. I wasn't even trying to not cry. Either way, it feels... strange, somehow, to not be saddened by something that made several people burst into tears. Nice writing, though, as you had me puzzled at first.
>>544717 MLD was worse for me, with the realization that came shortly after the end. "...The last time we would see each other." EVER. Even in death, they're separated. This story eventually has a happy ending, even if it's several decades later. I didn't shed a tear at either one of them, though, which makes me feel even more awkward.
>>545590 I'dd very much love to have an epilogue to this story
If you decide to do it, don't stress yourself and write with the same passion as your original story
I just hope I can bare whatever sadness awaits in the epilogue. I believe you went to far to now pull of a cleverly written 'revival of Twilight', so that's probably out of the question and basically everything else is agony to me
No pressure though

WHYDIDISIGNUPFORTHIS!
My main complaint is that I could not prepare myself for all of the horrible brain-mushing sadness that is a pony's premature death. It didnt really say anything about dying on the tin.
EDIT: *delete* Nevermind.
I want you to know know that this story was absolutely amazing. Exceptionally well written, and does what it is intended to do beautifully. I had to stop reading so many times to get the tears out of my eyes so I could see the screen.
I don't want you to think that I thought this story was bad. My brain just does not handle the concept of pony death well, is all.
EDIT: *delete* Nevermind.
I had a big long rant (not too long, I think) here about death tags and epilogues, then I decided it was stupid. I suppose I couldn't effectively read what I had written because my brain had turned to mush.
*sniff*... IT WAS BRILLIANT!!!
Why can I not cry?! This was just so sad, no, so heart wrenching, and I couldn't shed even a single tear! You got me close though, several times in fact. But, as said by many above, this story was written as though by the hand of a master. You did exceptionally well at conveying emotion. And the fact that Rainbow Dash was in love with Twilight, well, that almost made me weep when she admitted it. I say, write more! I'd give you a gold medal, but I seem to have lost them, so you'll have to make due with a like, fave, and a watch. Plus this comment!
i was in tears for about 90% of this, its too tragic, Twilight is far too brilliant of a pony to have her life snuffed out so young... it was beautifully written, but i shouldn't have read it, left me in tears for over an hour trying to get through it. But thank you, there has to be your heart in this story, that you shared with us. Thank you.
I don't...
I...
THERE ARE NO WORDS. NONE.
And now I have to sit here and convince myself that I don't want to cry. WHY DO I READ THESE MASTERPIECES?
All in all, a perfect blend of emotional pain, with some tear-jerking moments. But all in all, this fic truly attests to the power of friendship.
An upvote and a favourite for you!
Sincerely,
ChrisTheCat
"Oh, nothing...nothing really. I was just a little curious if you could do the same with a big, bad Ursa Major."
*BEEP BEEP*
You hear that author? That's my rage alarm. You have 3 seconds to rectify this situation, get my waifu out of this situation, and stop writing something so goddamn sad before I personally rage and then try to break my laptop and you.

I can not describe...how I feel right now after reading this. It's like my heart has been torn out by a harpoon, and then stomped on a few times for good measure. In other words, it feels like I have lost my best friend. All in that sort of,"I feel like shit but I'm glad I read it" sort of way.
All my tears bro.
Thank you, just thank you for this absolutely beautiful tale. Normally, stories like this bring tears due only to the sadness brought forth but this story made me happy as I cried. I could feel the love and joy they all felt for Twilight and it moved me. To everyone else I recommend listening to Crepuscularity (Twilight Sparkle's Theme) by AcousticBrony just as they're gathering before the party.
You're awesome
Although im gonna say this, the part where twi's father said he thought about killing himself, I just thought "woah....ummmm too much love" but still that part made me cry and youre still awesome
1 more thing, what celestia did at the end, makes me hope there's wifi up in heaven....if I get there I don't think I've done bad but im lazy
God damn it, man...there are no words to describe how sad this is...
I don't know if anything could make me feel better--
D'awwwwwwwwwwww...
Yeah, that helps.
This was just beautiful.
Each character was fully characterized. The scene where they were all gathered at the tomb was a great demonstration of your ability to capture each character's personality and also their underlying virtues and weaknesses alike. I especially like how subtle and realistic you made Fluttershy when she did her speech and Rainbow Dash desperately compressing her true feelings.
At the final scene I was tearing up and yelling for Twilight to never go. Seriously, you earn my applause. And my salty optical liquids.
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. A life is a truly beautiful thing, and all too often we take ours for granted, but in the end, I'd rather have my friends celebrate my life than mourn the loss of it.
(Not planning on dying soon. Just sayin. It happens to everyone eventually.)
Omg... This Fic... is sooo amazing. Lovely in every sense of the world. I must applaud you for this. My heart started breaking every step of the way... and was torn to pieces at Rainbow Dash's final speech. You have gotten me so worked up. Im still crying and i finished this like 30 minutes ago.
Once again, phenomenal work my friend. You and your story are a gift to have in our community.
That was a bitter sweet story. It was sad knowing what was coming, but at the same time, it was happy. I wouldn't say they were tears of sorrow, but rather the tears of joy seeing the characters hold such connections to one another. Its never a goodbye, just a see ya next time, even in death.
Thank you for this. I mean just...... God thank you for this story. Every good story is relatable in some way or another. This is beautiful. I'm so sorry if you had any personal experience in this story, and if you did, and you ever need to talk, feel free to let me know cause I've been through the ringer. We may not know eachother personally, but if you EVER need to get anything off your chest, just toss me a message.
This took my soul and brought it to a bright dimension where you just sit there and can think. Nothing more nothing less, just sitting there and thinking.
This story is the best I ever read, it was deep, so deep and sad but still beautiful and amazing, touching your heart in a way only a few things are able to do. Bro, you created something that I cannot classify. It gives hope and destroy you in the same way, lits up your mind and push you into darkness.
This creation shines bright out of this world and concurrently absorbs each single light.
My dear author, I'm glad you shared this piece of mind with us.
Even I hoped for a resurrection of Twi, I enjoyed the ending.
Masterfully done!
Just masterfully.

I read "My Little Dashy", and I didn't cry at all. I don't like sad fics much, but I had about fifteen minutes of free time at the end of Math class and I had already re-read The Immortal Game, so I figured I'd check it out. I hid by the stairs and skipped through a lot of my next class to continue reading it. I didn't cry for My Little Dashy. I don't cry. I haven't cried in years. I have this problem see, where I internalize things and become depressed but I never cry. I made it through your story without crying... up until Rainbow Dash flew away from Twilight Sparkle's grave. I'm good at predicting things, so I knew she was in love since she broke down during the party preparations. But nothing could have prepared me for the beauty of that declaration of love. My vision got blurry... and my first tear in four or five years trickled down my face.
God, I love you. You are amazing. So... fucking... amazing.
The idea that death is an ending of any sort, or that humanity even understands the concept of an "ending" is something that people seem too ready to accept IMO, so I agree with you to an extent.
Like I said, I can successfully extract a message from your fic, but the entirety of the fic seems to be having trouble following along, that's all. It's still fairly well-written. If we still had a star fix I'd probably give it either a 3-4/5.
I remember shedding a few manly tears when I read My Little Dashie. When I read this, a veritable flood of tears were streaming from my eyes when I reached the end. Beautiful work, man. Simply beautiful.
EDIT: Oh yeah, before I forget, FUCK YOU TRIXIE GO DIE IN A HOLE.
All of my everything... Best fic I've read in a long, long time...
as much as I want Twilight to live again in this story it would sort of mess it up. If there is an epilogue, I'd love to see the Twi/Dash thing expanded upon... Dash's emotionally charged outburst after the others left was fucking heartbreaking!
There has not yet been a fic that has made me cry. However, there has been only one that made me come close, and that was My Little Dashie - that is, only one, until now. I don't know if the hype that comes with MLD increased the sadness... but this, this is a true masterpiece.
I cried so much as they were around her grave. The Fluttershy part was the saddest
Seriously great story. I cried as much as I did reading My Little Dashie only difference between the two is this story I cried throughout it and My Little Dashie it all happened at once at the end. You sir are a great write never stop.
I don't want (She who shall not be named) to die. I want her to recover her sanity just enough to realize
what she did and feel the pain she caused, but not enough to be released. Then live with that pain
for the rest of her life in prison. And I hope her life is long. Statue in the prison court yard maybe?
