Magic is something to be shared.

Magic helps ponies achieve great feats.

Magic is powerful and she is the master of magic.

Magic never goes wrong...

This is a story about Twilight and quite possibility the cruel nature of chance and circumstance.

If there was one thing Twilight Sparkle had learned since ascending to alicornhood and becoming a princess, it was that ponies talked. Then, quite suddenly, they were talking about her.

And then they were talking about her love life since she was a single princess, unmarried and approachable.

She was still getting used to that part.

She was especially getting used to talking about it with Sunset.

Professor Twilight Sparkle has spent her adult life trying to forget the follies of her youth, and the fiery sorceress whose betrayal shattered her heart.

Sunset Shimmer has built an empire of steel and science in memory of the otherworldly power she once wielded, and of the soft-spoken scientist she once called "friend."

Now, fifteen years after the disaster which tore their bonds asunder, a new threat will force these two former friends to reunite in order to save both worlds. And as the past collides with the present, Sunset and Twilight will learn that even in a world without magic, friendship and love still have the power to do the impossible.

Set after Legend of Everfree. Later Equestria Girls stories aren't necessarily canon to this timeline.

Story has been written and will update weekly until completion.

Twice, they denied her a great victory. Twice, she was left humiliated and beaten by pony hooves. But if there's one lesson Queen Chrysalis surely learned, it was revenge. If there was a second, it was where to stick the dagger in a loving mother.

But there are some things even she can't foresee.

Following her tragic death by yet another villain of the week, Twilight Sparkle finds herself facing something all alicorns eventually uncover.

The continue screen.

For centuries, ponykind thought Princess Platinum's splendorous silver crown lost for all time, but it has been found. Twilight Sparkle, the self-proclaimed Princess of Thieves, has tracked it down to the long-fallen Diamond Dog kingdom of Erebark, and means to enter the mountain to retrieve her kin's lost heirloom and settle scores with Princess Celestia.

Unfortunately, there are one or two details she didn't realize going into this mess. Namely, that she'll need to steal from the gilded gallery of one of the mightiest dragons ever to walk the land.

Oops.

Twilight copes.

Chancellor Neighsay returns from his humiliating encounter with Celestia and Twilight in front of the School of Friendship and thinks things over a bit.

He also hopes that his acting in front of them wasn't too on the nose.

Adagio Dazzle prefers things the way they were. Twilight offers a glimpse of what they could be.

It’s a typical night for Scootaloo and her aunts; Dinner is burnt and it looks like take out again. That is until Rainbow Dash says they’re invited to her parents half wedding anniversary. However, seeing as Scootaloo’s aunts are lesbians, will Rainbow’s parents accept them, or is it a fear only in her head?
