info

a submission to the May Pairings Contest 2022.

reviewed by Stinium_Ruide.

this strange story idea began life as an entry to Nailah's Shipping Contest that did not get finished in time. the randomly generated pairing i was given was Wallflower Blush x Princess Skystar, and the original version of the contest had a set of prompts that included the pair waking up hoofcuffed to each other in the middle of nowhere.

the pony Wallflower Blush in this story was inspired by Sledge115's Wallflower of Canterlot

thank you to Rego, Dewdrops on the Grass, Sledge115, and The Sleepless Beholder for prereading!

Years ago, Octavia still loved music. Years ago, Luna thought she might yet do some good from her prison. Years ago, Vinyl Scratch found herself in an interminable dream.

The little things. The small details. The subtle touches. Ponies don't realize just how important these things are, and how central they can really be in your life.

Keeping them in your mind is fine, but sharing them with others is an entirely different joy, one I wish I'd learned sooner. Now, listen, because the tale I'm about to tell might help you see the world in a different, more observant light.

As a child, Daphne knew of a world where magic lived, where an immortal princess reigned over a beautiful kingdom, and longed to journey there beside Leit Motif, the filly she'd grown to love in the woods behind her home. But one day, when she needed her most, Leit Motif was gone, and she never came back to show her the way. As she grew, she put aside her childish dreams, and taught herself to believe the lie.
When forces beyond her knowing take her sister Amelia, though, she discovers that her childhood fancies were entirely too real, and is thrust into a journey that will take her back to that land she longed for, back to the childhood friend she'd abandoned, and to worlds she'd only dreamed of.

PresentPerfect's Review

Given the successful befriending of Discord, Princess Celestia deems that no longer will villains be defeated but instead reformed. While most have the chance to submit willingly or continue to fight, King Sombra is given little option. Brought back from the dead and stripped of all his powers and strength, it's all become a game of futility. Now Sombra only wishes he could have stayed dead all along.
