Twinkle Twinkle update on Monday · 2:16am Feb 21st, 2021
Yes, it has been a long time since I updated. (Checks) May 2019? Yeash. I suppose I should give a quick summary of where the story is right now. Twinkle Twinkle has been body-swapped with the Dragonlord by Discord, and... um... Remember how I tend to have stories where the main character gets pregnant? I assure you this chapter does not have that happen to Twinkle. Exactly. Look, it's complicated, and Discord, so... Just wait until Monday. I will include a brief snippet for you to remember just exactly where Twinkle is at the moment. (i.e. extremely confused)
(Chapter 9)
“You’ll cheat and win,” said Twinkle through chattering teeth. “You’re too strong and unreliable to be trusted, or the unicorns would not have locked you away. You didn’t even tell us your name.”
“I’m Twinkle Twinkle,” announced the creature in Twinkle’s voice, then shook his head and thumped his forehead against one claw until a number of tiny unicorns fell out of his furry ears. “I swear, that whiny little voice of yours gets into your head and just won’t leave. My name,” he pronounced boldly, sweeping into a bow, “is obvious.”
By this time, Twinkle had curled up as much as she could to save heat, and could barely see above the dragon’s claw that was holding her to the Dragonlord’s chest. “H-hello, Mister Obvious. C-could you let us g-go now?”
Obvious laughed, a cruel and heartless kind of amused that Twinkle had only heard before from a pair of small colts who liked to pull wings off flies. “I like you,” chuckled the draconequus. “You’re pleasantly stupid. For the record, my name is Discord,” he announced, holding up some sort of music player that ran on black disks and a wind-up crank.
“Hello, Mister D-d-discord,” said Twinkle while shivering.
“Die!” bellowed the Dragonlord, who had managed to get the rope off his muzzle. He breathed out in an intense fiery blast that encompassed Discord and wiped the creature away like a scrap of parchment in a furnace. The Dragonlord’s wings snapped out and he climbed up into the frosty sky, still holding Twinkle in one clenched fist. She did not mind too much, because his crushing embrace was at least warm and helped put out the smoldering fires in her coat from where she had been just a little close to the blast of fire that had destroyed Discord.
“You, I don’t like,” sounded a voice from nowhere and everywhere at once. “Tell you what. Why don’t the two of you get to know each other while I go reintroduce myself to the rest of your kind.”
There was a sharp snapping noise, and the world went mad.

Twinkle was falling. She had fallen before, but this was a special kind of fall, with a lot more of her going through the process. By instinct, she rolled and spread her wings as wide as she could while being careful not to drop the precious little squishy thing in her… claws. The shock of realization made her do something she had never done before in her life.
Don’t panic! Wings out to glide! Don’t crush the me in my claws!
Her heart was beating just as hard as it could inside her gigantic chest, a cavernous space filled with churning fire, heaving lungs, and the weirdest sensation of tension. She turned her head and looked around with short, jerky motions, trying to spot the odd creature who had…
...who had…
She was a dragon now. No, Twinkle was in the body of the Dragonlord, which by process of elimination, meant that the Dragonlord was in the body of—
“Die!” screamed a tiny voice from inside her clenched claws. “Die and give me my body back! Burn in infinite fire! I’ll tear your liver out!”
Oh, definitely looking forward to seeing where you go with this one. Thanks for the referesher.
It lives! Yes!
Big fan kf the story. I love the sort of exploration, breakdown of lore and setting and rationalism type of thing that the story is full off.

Ooh, I'd forgotten about that one. Well, thanks for the update, and writing, and I look forward to seeing what happens next. :)
...And thanks for the refresher, though I think I might need to reread a little bit more too, perhaps. :D
