There has always been a little voice in Twilight Sparkle's head, whispering dark musings to her. And until her brother's wedding, she has managed to push those bitter thoughts away and focus on the good. She forgives and forgets and holds onto hope.

But when her friends turn their backs on her and her brother cuts her from his life, Twilight finds herself alone, with only the little voice to comfort her.

And it is through anger and hate that has been repressed for so long that Twilight finds the power to rise up. Harmony and Friendship have only brought her pain and suffering. It is time for her to embrace her dark side. No longer will she worry about what others think. Twilight is going to live her life how SHE chooses: without friends, without family, without love and without harmony. She is going to cut loose, have fun, and screw what others think.

For her friends and family, it will soon become apparent that if they don't find a way to mend the damage they've done to the lavender mare...Twilight Sparkle might be lost to them forever.

Taking place a week after the royal wedding of Canterlot, Twilight has a nightmare which leads her to believe that the Changeling threat is still at large and anyone around her could be in disguise. Her personal worries get even worse when she gets haunted by a scarring incident caused by her brother and her friends the night before the wedding and believes that no one can help her. But when Twilight breaks down and suffers from emotional trauma, will her friends be able to realize the importance and value of true friendship through their foolish mistakes? Or have they not learned a thing at all this whole time?

Please contribute to this fanfic's TV Tropes page here.

Right before the big Canterlot Wedding, Twilight Sparkle makes a 'false' accusation against 'Princess Cadence.' Abandoned by her friends, teacher, and brother, the heartbroken pony experiences conflicting feelings of guilt and anger. Seizing this opportunity, Chrysalis takes in the fragile unicorn as her protege for her plan to plunge Equestria in darkness and chaos. With the Elements useless and the world being torn apart, how can Princess Celestia and the Elements possibly undo the damage they could've so easily prevented? And will Twilight be able to push away the darkness, or lose herself to it?

Note: Alternate Universe because of a few....'secrets' certain characters have, as well as obvious other reasons.

The three rulers of the Hearths Warming Eve tale have returned, and are as hateful and disharmonious as ever. Unless the Mane Cast figures something out fast, these three cold hearted mares are going to plunge Equestria into civil war. I HATED those three pony leaders! I WANTED THEM TO STAY FROZEN FOREVER! Their advisers deserved to rule more than they did! So, I wrote this Fan Fic, where everypony will get to see how evil and heartless they really are.

Oh, and this is VERY important. THE RULERS ACTUALLY DO LOOK LIKE RARITY, PINKIE PIE, AND RAINBOW DASH. This will actually be important to the plot later. Anyway, the episode was really great, and I hope you all enjoyed it. Hopefully its success will rub off onto this Fan Fic.

Some things in this world happen by chance. Others do not. Twilight Sparkle is about to learn a disturbing truth that will turn her world upside down.
