(Notice: MLP S9E1 and S9E2 are called "The Beginning OF the End." This is "The Beginning AND the End.")

Twilight Sparkle time travels. She was TRYING to send a letter to Princess Celestia about to incoming return of Nightmare Moon. She DID travel about twenty-eight years into the future.

(Crossover between MLP S1E1 "Friendship is Magic, Part 1" and MLP S9E26 "The Last Problem")

EDIT 3/4/20: WHAAAT?! 56 bookshelves and 28 tracking as of now?! This has got to be easily my most popular story. Many, many Pinkie-sized hugs to you all!

An alternative ending to the season 5 finale.

Starlight Glimmer destroys the time scroll that allows Twilight to return to Cloudsdale. With the sonic rainboom stopped, her plan has succeeded, and this time, Twilight can't come back to try and stop her again. She thinks it's over, but when Twilight pulls her into the present, Starlight finally sees what her actions have done.

So, my friends and I woke up in this forest none of us recognize, and were scattered by these wooden dog things. Now I gotta find my friends before we get into any more trouble. Now if only I wasn't a foot tall, and can say more than "Eevee"....

This is a random thought that popped into my head one day. I figured I'd get it out now. Still don't quite know where this'll end up, so let's take this adventure together.

Character tags and categories will be added as needed.

Meadow Dawn had been spending time in another Equestria, an allied version that while more militaristic, was giving her much needed leadership training. A side effect of that world was the strong chance of landing in another, so much so that there was an entire division dedicated to recovering lost ponies from such events!
Now Meadow Dawn finds herself to be among that affected group, using her skills to hide as best she can until their Equestrian Defense Force members can rescue her. It'll be hard, considering the world really doesn't want her to lose her colorful nature!

Author's note: Very proud of this project, as it has very little extra fluff as best I can tell, and is probably one of my best works to date for the goal of keeping it short and sweet. Let me know what you think!

Everypony enjoys myths and ponytales, even if they know such things aren't real. Alicorns fighting against a spirit of chaos? An ancient princess trapped in a library under a tree, waiting to be found? Quite enchanting and fantastic tales yes, but nonetheless as fictional as Daring Do and other such stories. At least, that's what Rarity used to think.

She doesn't anymore.

Dedicated to Annuska for being as amazing a writer as she is a friend.

Now a physical book!!!

Based on an old oneshot.

Twilight faces the thought of immortality with her usual aplomb: falling down into a ball of misery and confusion about her role, and what she will do in the eventual absence of her friends and family.

That is, until a much older Twilight Sparkle takes the time to talk to her.

Being the Deity of Time is tough work. You've got to protect the timestream, save ponies that tamper with time and get stuck in infinite loops.

There's also a lot of experimenting one can get done with the ability to reset the universe each time.

a lot of experimenting.

Point is, she's done a lot, for a LONG time. So, after her latest experiment goes very wrong, she decides to take a vacation.

Back to where she was once known as Twilight Sparkle.

Also, Discord does some things too.

(A one shot idea based on this beautiful comic, takes place in an AU post Season 8 due to (Spoiler Alert!) the Season Nine trailer revealing the Tree of Harmony will be destroyed.)

Twilight Sparkle thinks she knows everything there is know about the Tree of Harmony and the map within the castle that it spawned. So she is surprised when the map calls her alone to the Tree of Harmony's location.

It is there that the Tree of Harmony reveals a secret known only to Twilight's students, it has taken on a physical form and gained sentience. Taking the form of Twilight herself, the tree wishes to talk with the young princess about many details.

Much will be revealed as the Tree of Harmony shares in its experiences, and Twilight will be left with a sense of perspective, both on the tree's role and the role friendship plays in promoting harmony throughout the world.

Much has past since Twilight ascended into alicornhood. It wasn't the best moment of her life knowing that she had become immortal. Everyone around her, her friends, her family, all laid to rest, but only she remained among mortals and among the princesses.

During a cold winter, Twilight looks back at what life was like for her while going to her friends' graves, paying respects to them, and to never forget what they had done for her when they were once part of her life.

Takes place 40 years after the end of the series.
