    Bookish Delight's Stories (23)


    After the events of the Royal Wedding, Twilight Sparkle questions the purpose of her very existence. She fortunately has friends in high places who may be able to provide some answers... but heaven help her if they prove to not be enough.

    Hmmmm... this is getting interesting

    Huh...That actually does well in explaining why those two fell out of contact. It also shows the softer side of Celestia that we only vaguely see.

    I see much potential in this story, mate. I'mma keep this on watch. *tracked*

    Wasn't chapter 1 a oneshot on Equestria Daily a while back?

    I sense a certain theme in the chapter titles so far.  I wonder if it'll be continued, and if it'll ultimately mean anything.

    Twilight wants to be just like Princess Celestia...

    but Princess Celestia isn't perfect.

    Where does she go from here?

    I for one am intrigued to find out.

    Not to my knowledge! Though now you've got me curious...

    Very observant. :twilightsmile:

    My aim with this story was to provide several potential answers to dangling questions, regardless of whether or not they'll be disproven down the line. Expend the trend to continue--and thanks!

    >>864850

    You've got the gist of it! :D Thanks for being interested! Future chapters will delve deeper.

    Really get to know her again. Then tell her.

    She'll understand

    then you can finally put this whole thing to rest.

    Hmm, so the story isn't all going to be about Twilight's worry over herself?

    Not all, no. Every character listed in this story's profile will be explored in some manner. All I can say without spoilers. :twilightsmile:

    Poor Twi, seems like she is prone to depression and self-deprecating thoughts. I really can't wait to read more especially after that whole filly-hood bombshell thing. Did Cadance ever tell anyone about that night?!

    Hm.  So Twilight wasn't planning to commit suicide.  Just... open to the possibility.  Which raises the question: what was she hoping to accomplish?  Some sort of 88-MPH thing, or...?  Well, I suppose we'll see.  In time.

    I believe reason she jumped was in a way - because she thought it is the last thing she could try.

    Luna is worried about 'End of Dawn', I think.

    I'm thinking for Twilight it was more of an "equation of pain": she had accidentally caused pain to another pony, so to punish herself, she'd subject herself to at least as much pain herself.

    ...and that last sentence used "herself" so many times that it ceases to have any intelligible meaning anymore.

    We've all been there at one time or another. (hug) :heart:

    >>1402786

    You know, I've heard that more than once about this story (as well as its predecessor), which is odd since I've never had such an experience to draw from.. none that was diagnosed as such, anyway. Not disagreeing, just saying it leaves me curious. :pinkiesmile:

    >>1402405

    Yeah, I had to step away from this one for a bit. I was honestly taking on too much sad material at once and my muse went all out of sorts. :applecry: Fortunately we're coming to the light at the end of the tunnel!

    That nightmare was just DARK.  Emotionally jarring.  I got a chill just reading it.  And once fridge logic sets in...DAMN!

    Yeah... It's been difficult for me to tell when she's dreaming or not, but I think she's been asleep since last chapter.

    Great story though! Twilight and Shining Armor... So awesome.

    Son of a... You stole the title of my story for your Shining Armor chapter! You a**! :flutterrage:














    ...Just kidding. :rainbowlaugh: I'm sure I wasn't the first person to think of using the title of that game for a story focusing on Shining Armor.
