There's a blogpost.

Twilight Sparkle always found comfort in schedules and routines. Her daily life was so by the book, even when she'd need to see to official princess business, one could say it was almost written before she even woke up.

But when that routine is changed, interrupted, alternated and suspended, Twilight finds she will have a lot more on her plate than simply running Equestria.

Today marks the beginning of Twilight's really bad day.

Twilight had no idea of where the door had come from. It was there, and that was a fact. When it was there, at least, which wasn't always the case. But she would find out what was behind it sooner or later. It was just a matter of time. The door was always there, after all.

In the aftermath of the ruined wedding of Shining Armor and Princess Cadance, Celestia and several others maintain a vigil at Canterlot General Hospital. AU.

A/N: I'm sure that someone has done something like this before, but I needed to get the scene out of my head. Please give feedback and let me know if I messed anything up!

I am eternal, and death is my steadfast companion. The passing of each generation of my little ponies weighs on me; every one of them is a fleeting, irreplaceable treasure, a snowflake dancing 'round a fire. I want to save all of them; I have the ability to save a few. I have saved none.

Twilight Sparkle sits on her throne, raising the moon yet again after tens of thousands of times. It's been over a thousand years since her best friends passed, and she regrets becoming an immortal alicorn that cannot seem to pass on naturally like the rest of them.

But when she has the opportunity to bring them back, will Twilight take the risks to make it so, even if it means sacrificing her own morals and making deals with those who she should never associate with?

This story was originally written for Scattered Pages: Tales from the Book of All Stories, a convention-exclusive book that was published for "Ponyville Ciderfest 2023: An Interactive Storytelling Adventure!"

Twilight died today, and then she woke up.

Based on a story idea someone suggested

Queen Novo banishes Twilight and her friends to the deepest reaches of the ocean. In this dark and desolate place of water and silence, giving in to one's animal instincts seems like the obvious course of action.

Thus Spike awakens, trapped and alone in an unfamiliar place. But as he quickly learns, it's a lot worse than that.
