One day, just like that, Twilight decides she's going to die.

This story is a sequel to Ynanhluutr
Rainbow Dash endures many trials to reach the edge of the world.
The book was empty. Purely empty. Each page was as blank as the last. There were no words; there was no title. There was nothing but page after page of blank, white paper.
So Twilight reads it.
Rainbow Dash was the Iron Wing. She was a war hero, the Slayer of Shadows, the Liberator of the Crystal Empire, the Wrath of Celestia. And depending on who you ask, she still is.
But the war is over. There's little need for a pony like her in peacetime. So she keeps telling herself that she needs to adjust, that she needs to find a new role to fill in the world that she saved. But Equestria seems content to let her remain what she has become, even though they have no need of a warrior.
"This isn't how it's supposed to be", is something she keeps telling herself. But every time she says it, the only thing she can reply is, "so what should it be?"
One whole year after the close of the war, and Rainbow Dash still doesn't have the answer.

Do you need to know what texture an apple's skin has to be in order to be sure that it's ripe? There's an app. for that! Ever wondered how many apples it would take to fill the cement foundation of a skating rink? There's an app. for that too! Ever felt like having an adoracute hologram with orange freckles that you could summon at any moment to chat with you in a charming country accent? Well...
When Twilight Sparkle donates a bunch of crystalline "smart-watches" to the citizens of Ponyville, she unwittingly includes a free download of a holographic Applejack with each prototype. Now the entire town is enamored with utilizing their helpful little neighborhood apple pony. The only thing is... would the real Applejack approve of all this?
As Rainbow Dash takes a nap, Rarity has some tea with friends.
There’s nothing going on, there are absolutely no stakes whatsoever, and they still manage to bring doom to all of Equestria.
Written before "Crusaders of the Lost Mark", so a small little tiny bit contradicts canon now. Sorry for that!
