Twilight borrows an idea from Time Turner to 'bring the past forward to you', creating a spell that in theory should allow one to see the past without taking part in or altering it. Due to Twilight's genius alterations made with too little sleep, it backfires and results in semi-actual time travel where each pony is sent back in time into their old foal bodies. Various shenanigans ensue with a chapter for each pony.

What an interesting idea, looking forward to more! I wonder, since this temporal window Twilight predicted did not in fact happen, did the timeline split? And what would happen if you were to use this spell to bring time forward to a time you didn't exist? At least it would still be temporary, I guess.

Very good questions
Though the commissioner just wanted something cute so I won't likely explore most of that. No catastrophic timeline glitches or Fallout timelines sadly.
The art: exists

Indeed, the moment I saw it I knew it was perfect, so I'm glad I got permission to use it.
Dawwwww
Not sure if you know this but Pinkie does mention having a brother in the Pony Life show they did. It would be funny if this timeline did made the brother but him being missing is the weirdest sad story ever…
Applejack has the best chapter!

What would Spike’s view from inside the egg be like?

Probably not very interesting. I imagine being in an egg is pretty boring.
Limestone: Boulder go down the hoooole!
Cute but dad how she did not get to embrace her parents in her adult life
Yeah here parents are pretty reckless to risk her flying out the window like that; that fact it happened at least a few times before is worrying

I mean the way Rainbow turned out I can't imagine her having highly responsible parents :p

Her parents canonically died before she got to know them well. They had a whole episode where they were learning about their parents because they never knew them well.
