(Takes place prior to any of the events in "Nightmare Knights". Proofread by Smity91 on Fanfiction.net)

Having been freed from limbo, Stygian has spent his days as a reclusive author publishing his auto-biography. But now he's decided the time has finally come for him to do what he should've done a long time ago, tell Somnambula that he loves her.

Somnambula, meanwhile, is still struggling with the death of Prince Hisan and the fact that she wasn't there to say goodbye to him. So when Stygian shows up in her village, she is simply glad to see a friendly face.

But even if Stygian confesses, does Somnambula love him back? And if so, is it possible for them to make a relationship work despite the obstacles and the hardships?

When a new large - and extremely powerful - group of enemies appears seemingly out of nowhere and attacks Canterlot, Twilight and her friends have to sneak into their underground lair to find and stop the source of their power. Then things get complicated.

Canon-divergent AU with an alternate outcome to the Season 6 finale.
