A short one-shot with snippets of story and elements of a darker AU based around if Demon Shimmer hadn't been defeated and dumb magic rules I made up just for this exact AU were in play.
Written during the Iron Author Writing 2023 Competition. The one I submitted for the competition lacked all my funny italics because I had to paste it in from libreOffice haha. (I have since realized I should have pasted in the chapter here first and then into the competition, but c'est la vie).
Feedback/Critique greatly appreciated! (see Author's Note at the end of the work )
