For a long time, Twilight could feel it; a sense of emptiness she couldn't explain. Now that she's a princess, that feeling is stronger than ever. She finally decides to bring the matter up with Celestia. In response, Celestia gives her an old book.

The contents of that book will change her perspective of the world... and her beloved mentor. Just accepting the truth is a challenge. And after that?

She has to make a decision.

Equestria has changed forever, and so too have those who live within it. There can be no denying that things are far better than how they used to be, with friends and allies all across the world. But one afternoon, during tea with her friends, Twilight discovers that one of them sees things a bit differently.

Twilight Sparkle had climbed to her peak. She had ascended to godhood, seized reign of Equestria.

And she had never felt so alone.

Desperate to escape her isolation, Twilight unsealed her vault and pressed a certain book back into its slot in a well-guarded mirror.

She hadn't stopped to think that after she left, the human world kept crawling on...

EDIT: HOLY **** GUYS FEATURED 04Sep2019! First time, baby!

Proofreading: leeroy_gIBZ

Starlight Glimmer has gone back in time. Each time Twilight tries to stop Starlight, she fails and is flung back through the portal and into a broken, twisted Equestria, ravaged by wars or monsters, each version worse than the one before, barreling toward the destruction of the world. Until she lands in a version of Equestria that ... isn't worse. It seems unchanged, happy, normal. The only real difference she can find on the cutie map is that her castle isn't there ...

... but the library still is.

Flurry Heart spent most of her foalhood listening to stories of favourite Aunt Twilight Sparkle's many accomplishments.

Now a young mare seeking her place in the world, Flurry has attempted to model herself in Twilight's image. One could even say that Flurry idolizes her aunt.

Twilight wishes she didn't.

It's time for a chat.

This story is a sequel to Losing Sunlight

Sunset Shimmer hasn't needed a family in years, but now that Twilight's introduced Sunset to hers, Sunset wishes she could do the same. The best she can do is bring her home to meet Princess Celestia, which would be hard enough for Twilight without mixing new magic with anxiety.

Sequel story to Losing Sunlight. Not necessary reading, but if you like this, you can check that out afterwards. Cover art by the talented SunsetSlight. Special thanks to Dubs Rewatcher for editing. Scribblefest 2018 Entry.

Moondancer has...had a secret, but when it's revealed for the school to know...she's met with more support than ever. The quiet nerd gains a group of die hard friends and...with no prior knowledge of friendship, she begins trying to take turns to learn more about them...from the DJ's music, to the overenthusiastic 'Cryptozoologist' as she likes to call herself, the confectioner, the reserved socialite and even the cheerful delivery girl. Though none seem to hold her interest as much as the girl who stood up for her first. The rough and tumble jock.

Join her on her journey from being an outcast to having so many friends she isn't sure how she'll manage...and maybe, just maybe...she'll let Light know just how much she appreciated her stepping in when that bully decided to pick on her.

*Note* Dancing may or may not happen.
Profanity and Violence aren't the focus...but there are instances where fists are thrown and some heavy topics are discussed. The suicide warning is for a big reveal, but no worries, none of the cast are the victims.

After the defeat of Tirek, Equestria is safe once more, but Luna can sense that her sister is troubled. When Celestia retreats to the starry realm of ascension in order to look upon the past, Luna joins her to discover what is bothering her.

What did happen to the "other" Sunset Shimmer? The human one? The one who isn't a pony? Where is she?

Sunset is pretty sure she knows the answer.

Everypony who has ever been surrounded by the love of a family relies on them. But what if you lost them in one of the worst ways possible?

Being disowned by your family isn't the best feeling in the world. It is a major tragedy nopony should go through. Good thing for Pear Butter Buttercup, comfort is on its way.
