After a terrible storm sweeps through the Everfree, Fluttershy finds the weakened but still powerful King Sombra on her doorstep. Unable to resist his dark magic, she finds herself trapped by a spell that forces her to aid him, protect him, and heal him until he is strong once more, all while keeping his revival a secret from her friends. Unwilling to risk bringing her friends into the situation and endanger them, Fluttershy decides on a riskier tactic

If she could reform Discord, why not the Tyrant of the Crystal Empire. After all, with his spell keeping her from betraying his presence, it might be her only hope. Can she kill the Dark King with Kindness? Or will the ancient sorcerer once more stretch his shadow across Equestria?

Celestia awakens from a nightmare, a vision of a future that no one in her nation wants to see. So what's she to do?

She sends Twilight to fix it. Of course.

That's not to say she isn't unprepared; she gave her a notebook with a couple spells. She doesn't expect what they'll do when she casts them, though... nor does she expect both her and her opponent to be taken for a ride.

A cross between Groundhog Day and every crossover ever. The time loops are never the same!
Also may contain elements of Fall of Equestria.

This story is more of a pet project than anything. If you can help make it better, then please let me know what I can do to facilitate that.

Also open to suggestions for upcoming chapters from readers. Every one will prove to be interesting in one way or another!
