This story is a sequel to The Black Sun

Hey everyone, so it’s been a bit... had college work to do and such.

This does take place in the Burning Star Saga universe, but there are new characters. Most of who are related to the Mane Six.

Anyways, while Dusk Shine is often the name of the Rule 63 Twilight, here in my universe he is Twilights Cousin.

While on a vacation from college staying with his cousin Twilight, Dusk Shine chronicles and experiences the strange things that magic has brought into the light. But as the days go on and more and more things are revealed by the light of reality, more and more dangerous things start creeping through the cracks.

Humans will learn that sometimes, in order to keep their world from coming apart, some things should be left very much alone.

In order to get context for this story, please read The Black Sun. It will give context for the entire thing.

(Oh and btw, read this story in light mode. Some of the text is colored ”Like this” and if you read this on dark mode, that text would be unreadable. So yeah, light mode only.)

Dusk Shine is tired. He's scarred, battle-hardened, and young, but more than any of those, just tired.

Nopony deserves to suffer through what he has endured, much less at such a young age, but what happens when he finds his place in the canon Equestria? Where sunshines and rainbows are everywhere.

Will this new world heal him or will the striking similarities to his once-happy world break the stallion under the weight of what he's lost?

Read on to find out.

RGRE, will be obvious as each chapter progresses

Dusk Shine is a stallion that would do whatever he needs to survive. Even if that meant lying to himself and sleeping with Nightmare Moon herself for bits. But when he stumbles across a crystal table deep in Everfree, he'll realize that there is a lot more than the Night.

He doesn't know what to think about this.

(Mostly from Dusk Shine's perspective, so if somethings are obvious to you, doesn't mean its obvious to him)

After the events of the Friendship Games, things with the Shadowbolts didn't just end there... Romance has bloomed between students from Crystal Prep and Canterlot High...

The competitive and athletic Rainbow Blitz finds an unusual competitor that challenges him to a race: Indigo Zap. He takes the challenge from the athletic Shadowbolt, but there's a little more to that...

(Canterlot High students are 63'd, Crystal Prep will be still girls.)

Dusk Shine's complicate life continues in another dimension named Canterlot High. Now Dusk Shine will live a wildly funny adventure in high school with counterpart of this alternative friends and family in this world.

I would first like to thank the story My Princess Alluring by Lapiz-Lazuli and Inky J. You guys did some fantastic work with that. And I make this fanfiction in your honor. Kinda.

The cover image, it's not mine, and I will take it down if the artist contacts me.

I have a friend encouraging me to write this, bless his heart.

Paradoxes don't normally occur. But when they do, they can be quite... life changing. In a universe, quite different from that which is known, many things can be different.
Say that, Shining Armor never was born. Sombra never existed. The Crystal Kingdom never did stand.

...Twilight Sparkle wasn't born a mare.
Maybe it's life that has to be seen played out to understand...

A couple weeks after her first Nightmare Night in Ponyville, Twilight gets lost in the Everfree Forest all by herself, hoping to find a way back to town. As Twilight searches, she comes across a strange flower that sprays out some strange pink pollen. She inhales it, and gets a pain in her stomach. The pollen made her pregnant with a colt that looks like her male counterpart from another dimension (Dusk Shine from On a Cross and Arrow by Conner Cogwork).

Meanwhile, a kid who has been living with his abusive aunt and cousin make his life miserable when his parents are working in Europe. That young boy keeps getting treated like a slave, and barely gets any food. They even force him to clean up the house that they keep messing up, no matter if he was healthy or sick. Then one day, he gets really sick the day his parents come home, unexpectedly to the abusive aunt and cousin. He had a sickness that couldn't be cured. At least he saw his parents one last time before he passed. He then wakes up as the colt that Twilight Sparkle had given birth to.

Twilight has been bothered by the recurring dreams of "humans" which look strangely like the male versions of her best friends. Meanwhile, in the Equestria Girls universe, Flare Sentry has accidentally revealed the antagonistic intentions of Sunset Glare at the school of Canterlot High.
Are the two worlds able to combine and stop Sunset Glare from claiming what he desires?

For those who do not know, the gender swap names come from the Fimfiction On A Cross And Arrow and are as followed:
Pinkie Pie- Bubble Berry
Fluttershy- Butterscotch
Rainbow Dash- Rainbow Blitz
Rarity- Elusive
Applejack- Applejack
Flash Sentry- Flare Sentry
Sunset Shimmer- Sunset Glare

This is set in an alternate universe instead of the events set in Equestria Girls and is based off the YouTube video "Helping Twilight Win The Crown- Colt with female Twilight" by QuantumObzezzed

Twilight Sparkle has never needed much to be happy: a book to enjoy, a research to carry out, and a Spike by her side. But after teaming up with and befriending five stallions to save the world in her first, fateful night in Ponyville, her life has been thrown upside down.

For she is now the Bearer of the Element of Magic, and ever since, trouble is knocking at her door seemingly every week: be it a monster attack, friendship drama, or the fact that Equestria seems to be sleepwalking from crisis to crisis, Twilight’s life will never be the same again.

FAQ
Q: If it’s not a harem romance, then why are the mane six and Luna genderswapped?

A: Because while it started as a deconstructive, character-driven take on one, we’ve realised that this character arrangement grants us far more creative freedom than what we would have using their canon incarnations.  Having M!Applejack, Rainbow Blitz, Elusive, Butterscotch and Phil Pie allows us to, essentially, make their characters our own, take them to uncharted waters, and introduce new plotlines and situations that haven’t been done previously and that just wouldn’t have worked if applied to the girls we all know and love. It’s, in a way, what keeps this story fresh, even when retelling the series for the umpteenth time. It mixes up their dynamics with other ponies and with each other in new, unseen ways, and makes it all the more interesting to explore.

Adding to this is the fact that Twilight, at the beginning of the series, is something of a blank slate, whose character development is informed by the quirks and personalities of her friends. Therefore, she functions both as her own, recognisable character and as an audience surrogate, who’s getting to know these guys at the same pace as the audience itself.

Funnily enough, Luna’s genderswap was never intended to have any relation whatsoever to the harem trope; Artemis was never supposed to be a Love Interest. Instead, well, let’s just say it fills in a certain, unaddressed headscratcher in the original series.

Q: Will there be shipping?

Yes, there will be romance. However, not only it will be what most people like to call a 'slow burn', but it's most definitely not the main focus of the story. If you're looking for a ship fic, you'll be disappointed.

Q: Is [character] genderswapped too?

No.

The only characters who are genderswapped are Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Luna. Everyone else is their canon gender. Trixie is female. Starlight Glimmer is female. Should she appear, Sunset Shimmer will be female.

Discord, on the other hand, is something of a grey area, as they're a literal God of Chaos. Therefore, just as they can do pretty much whatever they damn well please, they can also change genders at a whim. However, should Discord adopt a female gender, her name would still be Discord, rather than the fanon Eris, as the word 'Discord' is genderless.

Q: Why is male!Pinkie's name not the fanon Bubble Berry?

There's multiple reasons, all of which are stated point blank by the character himself during his introduction in chapter one. It's mostly for meta reasons, but there's some plot there, too.

Q: Will you do [episode]?

There is an overarching plot, and the selection of episodes that get adapted and the way they do heavily depends on how they contribute to set up or advance said plot, or how plausible they are given the differences between the canon characters and their genderswapped incarnations.

Therefore, many of your favourite episodes may end up happening in entirely different ways as they did in canon, be mixed up with another episode, be relegated to a mere mention, or maybe just not at all. It all depends on how they fit the bigger picture.

I may or may not have just broken my hand against my desk when I jumped in surprise when William Grey told me this story was on featured, literally MINUTES within uploading chapter 9.
I'm sorry, just...
What?!
Mind-blowing, man. I have no idea how the algorithms work, nor how long it will last, but we're very happy about it.
Seriously, we wish to thank wholeheartedly to anyone who has read it, who has liked it, who has commented. This is our first published story, among myriad we have written yet never had the courage to put them out there. It really means a lot to us that people are responding positively.
Plus, that means I can claim moral victory, because I absolutely spent my whole weekend writing this instead of preparing the ppt for my monograph's thesis proposal for tomorrow.
So, yeah.
Thank you <3
