A/N: Featured on Fimfiction’s List of Stories On The Homepage: January 19, 2024!! My first proper G4 story in over 3 years and my first story of 2024. Set in the ‘Asylumverse,’ this story is an alternate take on the “Amending Fences” episode and deals with the aftermath of Sanctuary. Reading for that story is REQUIRED in order to understand this one as I’m making it as a direct sequel. Updates will hopefully be coming daily until this story is complete. Enjoy!

Active duty as a magus in Equestria is a life of travelling and dangerous situations. As much as Twilight Velvet enjoyed her work, she couldn't put it before family; not now when she has two foals to take care of. Someone higher up agreed, fast tracking her retirement; except, there's a catch: she has one last job to do, from the princess herself no less.

But one last job before she can be with her family should be no problem, right?

Twilight finds that she regrets ever thinking so when she finds herself completely cut off from the rest of Equestria. It doesn't help that she has to take care of more than just her own needs in order to survive.

This was written for the Ancestral Tribute contest.

Being able to see possible futures makes Minuette's life pretty easy. Being able to roll back time when something goes wrong makes life even easier.

Both powers should make asking Sunset Shimmer out on a date the easiest thing ever.

She shouldn't have tried on a Tuesday.

I love waking up every morning to the sound of dishes being done. Especially when they are being cleaned with a DUBSTEP DISHWASHER!

Ever since I got trapped in Equestria, Vinyl Scratch has been my best friend and Marefriend. The fact that she is a friggin DJ makes her all the more cooler!!!

Warning: This story contains Wubs. If you are to Novice to handle the epixosity of the Wubness, then back out now!

Princess Mi Amore Cadenza. 1'000 years ago, she used the elements of harmony to banish both of her aunts to their respective celestial bodies, in the battle to determine who'd rule Equestria, by accident.

Her guilt weighing heavily on her mind each moment she took up the mantle as the new ruler, was another moment that reminded her, of how she got the crown in the first place. Despite the negative thinking and worries she felt, Princess Cadenza's rule is well received and prosperous with the assistance of a few trusted ponies through the years of her reign.

Now, a thousand years later, the day to celebrate her victory over both siblings and her coronation as Equestria's ruler coming up.

So, she has sent a mare that she foal-sit for to ponyville. Moondancer is tasked to look over the celebration and add any finishing touches to the celebration if necessary.

Cadenza hopes that the mare will make a few real friends in the process. But, with the threat of losing what social standing she has, and the imminent return of the Celestial sisters, can Moondancer, learn the value of true friendship or will Equestria be led under a new rule?

The first story of the Cadenzaverse!

"Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria, there were two regal sisters who ruled together and created harmony for all the land. To do this, the eldest sister used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn. The younger brought out the moon to begin the night. Thus, the two sisters maintained balance for their kingdom and their subjects: all the different types of ponies.

"But as time went on, the two sisters grew greedy and covetous of their neighbors to the north. The Crystal Empire stood ready to defend themselves, but even their prince, noble and kind, could not contend with their power. On the fateful day they turned on their once friend, they became the ultimate perversions of their former selves. The elder sister became Solaria Dawn, herald of light and hate, and the younger became Night Mare Moon, harbinger of darkness and fear.

"Reluctantly, the noble prince delved into the darkness and found the forbidden powers needed to save his empire from certain doom. With the might of the shadows, combined with the mystical strength of the crystal heart and the elements of harmony, he was able to defeat his former friends and bring peace to all of Equestria, bearing the responsibility of both sun and moon. Harmony and peace once again fell upon the lands.

"One thousand years has passed since that time..."

Moondancer has a plan. A plan to get away from it all. Minuette has a similar plan. Hers just involves joining Moondancer on her airship and having them hunt for the fabled lost treasure of the Cloudshark.

Moondancer has a few problems with Minuette's plan.

Twilight Sparkle has always respected the laws of science and magic. It's a respect that got her a scholarship to SGU, where she formed a small but comfortable group of friends and has received top grades in her two years there. It's a life that makes sense.

With her final year beginning and a special instruction from the Princess to bond with a fellow pupil, Twilight has enough to fill her life and her mind. It doesn't make sense that she should have recurring dreams about a mysterious mare, that this mare seems eerily familiar despite being a total stranger, or that she can recall the dreams with unusual clarity.

Twilight has questions about Equestria and about herself, and the answers could reshape her perception of both. She begins her research with a central question:

What lies beyond the edge of a dream?
