This was my first attempt at fanfiction. I wrote it a couple weeks before The Cutie Mark Chronicles aired, so it was rather quickly invalidated by season one. I figured that since I started posting fanfiction here, I may as well include this as well. Growing Carrots is something of a spiritual successor to Twilight's Crusade, even if it doesn't exist within the same ficverse.
I'm marking it as complete, because it will probably never get finished. There's a second chapter floating around my Deviant Art page, but it doesn't make a lot of sense outside the context of the full story.
1658611 You again...
Well this is something.
It's tough being a god waiting to emerge. A young mind probably can barely imagine that level of power, let alone control it. Even though it's only in her dreams, it would be frightening beyond words.
I've long wondered if Twilight doesn't have a special talent with magic but rather she is Magic.

I plead the fifth.
1662438
Huh. I guess that's better than nothing?
1662477
And if you take that thought to its logical conclusion... then that means Twilight Sparkle is friendship.
I do agree though. The most frightening thing about having power is the fear of losing control of it.
1663084
Or the fear of being consumed by it.
Anyway... This really is... Something.
I assumed that in this fiction, you are saying that Twilight lied to the CMC.
Until I read your explanation.
1665633
Huh. Well that's now two votes for this being "something." If I keep up this style of storytelling, I might just have to petition FimFiction to add a "something" tag.
Aye. I imagine if this did happen, she'd lie to the CMC anyway. But honestly, the events of this fic eventually differ so much from the show, it may as well take place in an alternate universe.
Eh. Sense be damned. I decided to post it anyway.
Well.... why do I have the feeling this is going to be "Twilight tries to destroy the world" fic?
EDIT: its complete? well thats disapointing since bugger all happened except "something is wrong with Twilight."

I don't believe Twilight would ever try to destroy the world. I don't think she could live with herself after destroying that many books. Besides, Moon Dust "takes place" 20+ years after the events of this story. Not all is lost. For some species, things are even better. Mostly.
Response to Edit: I labeled it complete when I was only going to have the prologue posted. Both chapters were written before the completion of season one, and I never got around to finishing this story. Its current status is lingering somewhere in the vicinity of incomplete, on hiatus, and dead in the water.
We can fix this -- AFTER she had the dream and got her cutie mark, she couldn't face the fact of her issue. She spent all night researching and working on a spell that would hide her cutie mark. She needed time. Casting the spell, she was again to all viewing her a blank flank. Only she would know the horrible truth.
Cue to one year later... She is enrolled in Celestia's school for gifted unicorns and is taking the test. She utterly loses control of her magic, and thus loses control of her illusion. When Celestia notices she gained her cutie mark that day it was the perfect front. She bounced in a circle with joy knowing that not only would she no longer have to hide her cutie mark but that she was going to be studying under the one being in all of Equestria who might be able to solve her problem.

Now you can finish the story.
1694987
Well. Damn. That's a pretty good explanation.
1695002
Glad to be of help -- I hate seeing stories get stuck like that.
1694527 One of the greatest quotes from MLP "The stars will aid in her escape" you could easily twist a lot of things around and make it so twilight's special talent is the aid of nightmare moons escape that would not only explain the nightmares but also the reacquiring factor. And the fact that she's still having them could be a foreshadow of something. this is only a suggestion though.

That's a really interesting idea, and I do agree it would fit the first two chapters very well. But unfortunately, it can't really happen. There's a continuity between my stories that's already planned out, and I know exactly how this story goes. Even if this story never gets finished, other stories rely on events of it.
1695770 well then I may have to read these stories then
1695930
Heh. That may be a while. I have three other stories all planned out, scene for scene, that reference each other. I have bits and pieces of them written in unordered/chaotic ways, but nothing substantial enough to publish yet. I struggle with the process of telling a story, and I'm pretty bad it right now. But it's something I'm trying to work on. I really want to get to the point where I can finish something.
1696029 Well from what I see it would be worth the wait if you can organize them.
Seems to be the night for subtly disturbing stories for me.
1958066
Only subtly disturbing? Dang. I need to up my game.

Well I guess it wasn't completely subtle but it wasn't a case of "I'mma mush dis'gore in ur fashe" that I've come to expect from "disturbing" stories...
So on the scale of averages this was very subtle.
