The multiverse is a big place, champ! Identities blur, faces duplicate, sometimes the entire world seems like its spinning in the wrong direction! But through all of that, you gotta keep your head up and remember your name! Once you do that, you really start to stand out from the millions of other ponies who also have that name!
Coco. That is your name.
Daybreaker. That is her name.

You are truly one of the best on Fimfic.
I meant what I said in last week's thread; some of your strongest character rapport I've seen takes place in this fic.
This tidbit especially feels like something I myself would have written on a really really inspired day. Most of the goodness in this story comes from how deliberately info is disclosed to the reader. Both the pacing and the sequencing. And I can confirm that since I know actually know who Eris is, rereading this was nice and rewarding. Keep up the good work, and may your bucket never run out of multiverse adventure tales.
Sweet.
Random though: if this world randomly brings in crap from all over the universe, Eris is kinda taking a risk in visiting so often - sooner or later she's likely to run into something that can match or surpass her, say a version of Cosmos even nastier than that in the comics, or the actual Grogar with his power-draining bell. Even if Draconequi are unkillable (a head canon with which one might quibble, given some events on the show), they certainly can be drained of their powers, imprisoned, and possibly much worse (to quote Jafar in his evil genie form, ""you'd be surprised at what you can live through", and that's talking about regular humans). Pride goeth before destruction.

The fourth thing draconequui are known for is brashness.
I think I'm a little biased since I have one of the comics where Eris appears in so I'm semi-familiar with the setting and a lot more so with Eris herself, but the prologue was still quite helpful since this isn't the same setting as Nightmare Knights', as I realized a little too late.
As a counter to Casketbase, I think one of the strengths here is the info that wasn't disclosed, leaving the reader having all the necessary information and some of the unnecessary (but still fun-to-read/immersive) details... and then a few burning questions that aren't answered. You don't answer how and why Coco ended up here in the first place because that's not the point of the story (and the story doesn't need it); all I can guess at is that Daybreaker went away from Eris in part due to Daybreaker's egotistic personality and in part due to Eris simply... well, being Eris, but I know not more than that. Sunset simply just appearing and seeming a lot more world-weary than expected...
In a sense, reading this felt like being in Coco's shoes, not just for the obvious reason of having her as the main character. The story feels like that planet in the middle of everything: info is just thrown up at you, and there's only the slightest bit of outside-of-story context that makes it sensible, but the little chaos we've got is enough to make a whole world (or some) out of it... and of course, a story. It does help that, while the story's core is something about a friendship forged through fire (I think that's what this is... it's certainly a strange set of trials to go through, at least, when one of those trials is the megalomaniac tyranny of your travel buddy), that friendship is a pair I think I've never seen before.
And... hey, good foreshadowing on one of Daybreaker's lines on how to defeat or delay Eris.
Thanks for the story! It was a great one.

I KNOW I've written good foreshadowing when even I don't remember that foreshadowing. Daybreaker said what now?

Oh, I did a brain fart; it wasn't one of Daybreaker's lines but Eris's:
Superb!
Silly question, was Sunset patient Zero in the zombie world?

We'll say sure!

Ta, just seems appropriate. Maybe she brought the plague through the mirror portal or something like that.
