[Takes place directly after Tirek's defeat]

After Twilight has beaten Tirek with the help of her friends, she goes through the ruins of the library and finds an odd book. After she reads it, everything around her decides it wants to stop make sense.

It's been just a little over two hundred years after the death of Princess Twilight's closest friends. Not only were they the other Elements of Harmony who saved Equestria, but they were some of the closest groups of friends a pony could find. For some, coping with a loved one's death can be an easy and manageable feat; For Twilight however, it is impossible to cope with. Now grudges have grown, festering against certain ponies because of it. No one, not even Spike has been capable of cheering her up. Getting her to her senses, getting her to even smile has proved to be an insurmountable task. Now the only question on most ponies’ minds is: Will Princess Twilight be capable of getting over their deaths or will she sink into a pit of despair and forever be lost in a maze of depressed, and if so, what possible harm could this cause herself and others...?

This story is a sequel to The Enchanted Library

It's easy to think about fairytales when you’re an ancient alicorn trapped in a library for centuries on end. It's easy to wonder how one would go about rescuing you, to think and devise and plot out how to free you in a blaze of glory, intrigue, adventure, and romance.

Or, rather, it’s easy until suddenly it happens and you’re forced to ask yourself the one terrifying question you’d yet to consider.

Now what?

The mirror held in the Crystal Empire opens once every 30 moons to Canterlot High. At least it did.

The mirror has started to open once every five moons but not to Canterlot High. It opens to a completely different world. Celestia has created a colonization effort called Equestria Nova to establish a presence in this new world. Ponies from across Equestria have been selected to start a new life here. However, they soon discover this world works very differently from Equestria.

Many have opposed Celestia and all of them have fallen, one way or another. Some she has slain. Others she redeemed. Her servants and friends have done great deeds in her name and her fame has spread throughout all of creation. She is the Sun in all of its glory.

And yet she finds that she cannot get a single child to believe she is even real.

Part of the Monophysite Quartet.
Ageless, Or Celestia Plays Dice With the Universe, Have You Considered My Servant, Twilight?, and The Esoteric Rites of Darkness (NSFW), all coming from a single story idea called "Monophysite" and exploring some perception/idea/theory about who or what Celestia is and how that effects her friends and loved ones.

While on her way home from a day with her friends, Apple Bloom runs into Twilight on a trip to Zecora's hut. After insisting to join her, little Apple Bloom gets lost in the woods after chasing a mysterious mare hiding amongst the poison joak. She stumbles upon a town completely isolated within the Ever Free Forest, but something about this town just doesn't feel right...

A World, Reflected is a somewhat dark, urban fantasy magical girl retelling of Equestria Girls.

Twilight Sparkle, newly an Alicorn and the Princess of Friendship, was dreading her coronation - when a thief strikes in the night, stealing the Crown of Magic and taking it through the gateway known as the Mirror of Reflected Worlds.

Now, Twilight and Spike must pursue Sunset Shimmer - known by some as Princess Celestia's most faithless student - to another world.

Through the mirror, Twilight and Spike find a world, reflected: a world full of echoes of the ponies they know as strange bipedal sapients; a world where if magic even exists it follows much different laws; a world stalked by savage monsters held back only by five mysterious heroines and the equally mysterious hero who lends them his aid.

The fate of both worlds may rest on whether or not five estranged high-school students can rekindle their friendship - with Twilight's help; whether or not an oddly familiar lad proves to be an ally, a friend, a lover - or a fatal distraction; and whether Twilight and the heroes of the reflected world can deduce just what Sunset Shimmer's malevolent plan is - before it's too late for them to stop it.

When I first met Princess Twilight, she was confused, lost. Adrift in an alien world. I thought of her as a rich eccentric, certainly a foreigner. I humored her as much as I believed her, really. Even when she dragged me to the very ends of the world in her mad quest for a mythic well, I really did it all for her. I figured it would help her find some closure, and we could go home.

I was right, in a way.
