Well, I'm a sucker for r63verse fics.
I do believe that in this case Braeburn should've been referred to as a she. I may be wrong but it just seems like it should've been a she.

Edited. Braeburn is now completely a she, like she should be.
oh please continue? it's good
So far so good.
Though Angel should be Angela
You'd think that Twilight/Dusk would have first thought of going to Luna/Artemis once they realized the dream kept repeating....
Also, if this takes place after Discord/Babel, all the Element Bearers should be addressed as Lord/Lady, since they were knighted by the prince/princess.

Huh. This is, uh, something. Maybe something good?
I can't rightly say where you're going with this, but I'll stick around to find out.
I thought unicorn horns grew back eventually, being made of keratin, otherwise the Lotus sisters wouldn't even dare file them down.
Trust, yeah, right.
A simple explanation could have been given, it didn't even have to go into detail... both sides are trying to care for their ponies, but one of them is going about it all wrong... currently, my money rests in that the side that is betraying the spirits of the elements that is wrong, and going to lose much more than what they would if they had spoken up from the beginning.
Princess Luna: She's a persuader extraordinaire, alright.
Seriously, what'd you expect, when you so desperately plead someone not to look for something?
Huh, horn breaking seems to be popular recently.
FEATURED ON EQUESTRIA DAILY!!
So... we have three villains.
Luna, Solaris, and... and... Celsestia
I hope to see more of this heart-wrenching story.
Disliked because I fell asleep while reading this. If there are interesting cross-dimensional consequences to bearing the Elements of Harmony, I would like to find out what they are in the first chapter. Mysteries are fine, but what the story is about shouldn't be one of them; it should be clear from the beginning.

I want to see more, but ultimately villain seems like the wrong word. I think there all really scared, and not sure what's really happening.
I kinda hope this doesn't go the way Eternal did (you know, where Celestia chained up her other half -- fanon) or like Dusk's Dangerous Game where Celestia was being something of a control freak to achieve a particular end, almost regardless of what got in the way. I'm seeing that kind of vibe though.
If you asked me what was up, I'd almost be willing to say that two universes want to merge for some reason. Or at least that they will, given half a chance. Not sure if that's bad or good. Alternatively, maybe Celestia and/or Luna have done something wonky and are not telling the whole truth about the existence of the elements.

It's like having a dragon or something tear the wings off a pegasus.
Pretty sad, really.
As a new project I'm starting on my channel, I've done my 1st ever dramatic reading of the 1st chapter of this. Give me some feedback (i wasnt prepared for rule 63 voices a lot of times I droned in and out of em, and Dusk Shine is freakin hard to pronounce) Have a listen and be an honest applejack about it, I need all the positive or negative feedback I can get! Click me!
Wow............. If I may impose personal parallels, I feel almost as if I am reading the emotions and confusion I went through when I was first coming to grips with (and my eventual acceptance and embracing of) my gender dysphoria. A doppleganger that you recognize yet can't reach out to. The fear that others possess. The need to know more. If that is your goal, my hats off to you good author, because this is a fucking stroke of absolute genius. If not... Well, unintentional allusion is unintentional.

This is absolutely brilliant! Also, playing this song on repeat throughout the chapter really gives you the emotion:
Sweet Celestia's fine flanks! Look at all the comments!

I hope you're still reading, because I'm still writing!

You'll notice it is Angela now. :3

Celestia and Luna have been alive a long time. In this story, they unfortunately seem to believe that entitles them to know things that other ponies aren't supposed to.

It's the classic "don't eat a cookie before dinner" conundrum. You'll get in trouble, but obviously the cookies are better than dinner if you have to wait so long for them...

Is it? I haven't seen many other stories where horn breaking happens to the mane six. Ah well, this horn breakage is incidental rather than the focus of this story anyway.
2192882
Isn't it though?
2193595
Solaris? I dunno, he seems like a nice guy to me in the last few chapters ... Or does he know more than he's letting on too?
2194027
Scared is a good word. Fright can easily make anyone desperate.
2194657
It will come. Don't you worry about that.
2193838
Sorry to hear that! I guess I'm just a fan of opaqueness?
2195518
I listened to the entire thing, sir. It was impressive, and quite flattering. I've never had a story chosen for something like that before! The voices had good inflection for the most part, though perhaps they need a little more range to differentiate from your reading voice, but I can understand it's hard to sound like a filly.
You put an interesting spin on how some of the talks went; I enjoyed Applejack's part especially. I hope you do more!

I was honestly floored by how forthright you are here, and I'm touched that you connect with my writing so deeply. Another friend of mine actually pointed out similar feelings about my story when this was still conceptual, and I won't say that didn't affect how I viewed the work. So I guess it's unintentionally intentional?
I'm glad people can relate so well to my stories, and I'm happy to have you along for the ride.

BWAAAAAAAAHHHMMM.

Well thats the thing, the mark of a good author is the ability to be both abstract and concrete. Let the readers draw their own conclusions. The fact that so many people can relate to this in so many ways means you're doing extremely well.
(One suggestion though, you might want to scootch the plot along and let us know what's really going on soon, because there's abstract, then there's too abstract.
)
Really looking forward to seeing where this is going.
Holy crappers, this is amazing. Please continue with your awesomeness!
Artemis seems to be the only helpful one so far, with Solaris being indifferent and Luna/Celestia actively trying to stop their student. Dusk Shine out rolled Twilight for the better set of rulers, it seems.
Fantastic story! I love how the viewpoints are alternating between worlds. Differences are subtle at first, but grow with time, and after Artemis' spell at the end of last chapter, the symmetry seems to be broken completely.
My current theory is that Celestia and Luna have either discovered this mirror world, or divided it from mane Equestria in the past and created the black barrier to keep the worlds separated. They believe that if left for themselves, the worlds are going to merge and Princesses are going to do everything to prevent it.
Found this through Equestria Daily. Having Celestia and Luna being opposed to Twilight like this seems off to me; Solaris's and Artemis's actions are much more in line with the Princesses we know. But other than that, I sense potential here. Favoriting to see what happens next.
Nightmares are serious business. My gosh I want more of this sooo badly...
It's finally coming! The moment where they meet themselves! And there's gonna be nightmares, too, aren't there? And an epic boss battle, to boot, I hope! I'm looking forward to this!
An interesting end, a very interesting end.
........
SO AWESOME
I'm gigglin with giddyness here, it's really coming to a head
DUDE.
This is intense!
I hope Nightmare Moon/Nightterror isn't still alive...
So intense! What's going to happen when they finally meet? Augh, I need to know!
I bet it's Luna who is erasing things and memories from everything in the alternate world. I'm confused as to why Celestia and Luna have been so crushingly oppressive with the Mane Six's experiences while Solaris and Artemis have been relatively helpful and supportive.
CONSPIRACY IS AFOOT!
Moar please.
I knew following this story was a good idea, only down side is I'm so into it right now but there is no more to read. Your writing style is fantastic for this kind of story and how the two worlds are starting to bleed into each other, just fantastic.
Just spotted this on EqD and read all five chapters in one sitting. This is good stuff! I can't wait to see where you take it next.
WOW. That is all.
I have an idea as to why the rulers of our known version of pony reality are trying to stop this while the reverse reality is pushing forward.
Potential spoiler below.
I believe that the reality with our mare Mane 6 is the true one while the alternate is kind of a bleeding edge. If the 2 realities were to meet up the results would be disastrous. Not to mention the speak of how nightmares and terrors can shape our view of reality. If the 2 beings that are the controllers of this were to ever meet up, whatever were to happen could destroy the very fabric of reality on all fronts.
This story is beginning to take on a somewhat Lovecraftian tone.
So, let's see if I've got this straight: By trying to cross between worlds, Twilight (and Eventide before her) inadvertently set free the lovechild of Cthulhu and The Dark Presence from Alan Wake, who was trying to tempt them into setting it free so it could "write" their story into a tragic ending. The reason, therefore, that Celestia broke Twilight's horn was to try to keep that from happening. And also it was responsible for Nightmare Moon et al.
Does that sound about right?
Damn...
Aaaaaaaaaaaand... Fave
If its this good now I can't wait till later

Something like that. But sometimes it's best to not think and just accept not knowing. Trust me.

You don't want to go through what I went through in my effort to try and understand this.
^ Oh, good, a summary. I almost didn't understand the chapter.
Amazing chapter.
I think the princesses might be over reacting but....I will continue reading
Dude.
Excuse me, I gotta... I gotta pick up the pieces of my mind. 'Cause it exploded and all.
Holy shit...
That awkward moment when you have a genius comment but you forget it while typing it
Now this has delved into a full blown In the Mouth of Madness parody.
At least in the "story" department.
Best opening to a chapter that I've seen in a long time.

I... What is... I don't..... Even..... I....... Wha........
