Given the chance to correct what's gone wrong, Twilight swears she's going to fix all this even if it kills her. Which it will. Frequently.

Twilight still isn't having a very good day. An army of changelings is attacking Canterlot, and the experimental spell that blew up in her face has stuck her in a time loop until she gets everything perfect and saves Equestria.

She's got a plan. She's also got a problem: Suddenly, she's not the only one whose day is repeating. And when you're caught between unstoppable force and immovable object, life has a tendency to get complicated.

This story is an authorized alternate-universe re-imagining of Eakin's Hard Reset, in which multiple loopers turn the time shenanigans up to 11. (Knowledge of Hard Reset is not required, but based on reader comments, will help in sorting out the early chapters.)

Cliff's Notes versions: RampantArcana has started a GitHub repository to codify the time-loop rules and the early-story timeline. Hawthornbunny has posted a chapter-by-chapter breakdown of all the loops, including the ones we don't see, with a lot of critical analysis. Those links contain spoilers (of currently posted chapters). If you're confused, either one of those fan projects is a great starting point, and story comments have a lot of insightful discussion as well.

Publication schedule: 2014 kicked my plot, but as of November I'm picking up the writing again and hope to have something by the end of the month.

This story is a sequel to Hard Reset

This is a followup story of Hard Reset, and talks about the experience of living in a loop from a more "slice of life" point of view, rather than adventures all the time. The original story ended several months after the reset point,‭ ‬and mentions the possibility that the time magic is still potent.‭ ‬The author feels like this is an important point that requires expansion.‭ ‬In fact,‭ ‬this is the most important point.

In this story, Twilight goes through her cyclic lives in a desperate and somewhat comedic search for meaning, but mostly just to avoid going mad from boredom.

This story is a sequel to Hard Reset

After the events of Hard Reset Twilight's life and mental well being are slowly returning to normal. Her recovery is cut short, though, when a letter arrives informing her that the time loop spell she cast is causing severe damage to space and time itself. In over her head, Twilight tries to summon anypony who will know how to fix it. The pony she gets is the last one she ever thought she would meet... and nothing like she expected him to be.

Gamer-type fic, inspired by Clicker Heroes

Reincarnation doesn't always go forward in time. Sometimes it goes in a loop, as in the case of Twilight Sparkle. She lives, she fights, she gets allies. Than she dies, improves herself and friends, and occasionally buys something that makes the world a better place. Finally, she is reborn and lose her memory. Rinse and Repeat.

However, with her rising to Alicorn, she has unlocked a few new things that would make her lives easier. The down side? In order to afford these, the world needs a hard reset. The temptation? She could keep her memories.

Soon Twilight Sparkle will see just how much she has done for the land of Equestria over her many lives, and see first hand what it was to start with. Thankfully, with no sarcasm for once, Discord is here to help her build the world back up.

Clockwork was a relic left to rot in the Royal Vaults, brought to life by a stroke of fate. As it is sent into the Void between worlds by the same event that gave it life, it soon discovers that there are other worlds besides it own. And they are all in danger. The Black Tide is spreading into every reality, determined to convert everything in existence into itself. To combat this threat, Clockwork must enlist the help of Twilight Sparkle, every one of her.

Prior knowledge of these stories is recommended.

Bill Overbeck. Soldier, veteran, old man, wise head, zombie apocalypse survivor and a dead man. Did I say a dead man?

Indeed, he's dead saving his beloved and the others in order to let them escape to an isolated island with no Infected. Finding himself after death in a world in conflict just like his from beings odder than the zombies and somehow, he's died again.

Well, it's going downhill from there, just like the outbreak once more.

Inspired by Eakin's Hard Reset fiction (And it takes place in that same universe too!) Read the comic first, it'll help you understand the situation. To make a note, I might not update this as often as I do with Command and Blunder because well, I was so bored with this one.

Have you ever seen a pony that just seemed out of place? Perhaps some mannerism, some behaviour that just struck you as odd? Some piece of clothing that didn't seem quite right? perhaps a coat or mane whose colour just seemed flat-out weird. A strange build, a strange voice, or maybe they were perfectly normal, except that you swear you just saw the exact same pony not five seconds ago somewhere completely different?

Of course you have. Everypony has encountered an Outsider at some point. But never up close, it's always at a distance, and they're always gone before you have the chance to challenge them.

But sometimes the rules get broken. Sometimes fate gets distracted for a moment, and a lone unicorn mare gets to see something that she was never meant to see.

Twilight Sparkle's day is about to get very weird.

Special Thanks go to Horizon for initial proof-reading, editing, and signal-boosting, provided as a prize for spotting an Easter egg in his story Hard Reset II. Seriously, it's an awesome, brain-warping story and you should go read it right now.

Thanks also go to my editors for putting up with my atrocious grammar and spelling errors - Ganelon, Ephraim Blue, BronyWhooves, Commonancestry, Princess Autumn Forest, and Morning Sun

Cover art credit goes to EMedina13 and tamalesyatole. I am looking for more appropriate art, so If you think you can do better, let me know.

After a tragic neutral run, Frisk is tired. Had had fought, and fought, and fought to save everyone, but he had made mistakes this run. The ending was not perfect, Asgore still fell to Flowey still became a monster, and afterwards, the flower became dust. Frisk had run dry of mercy for the plant this run, Flowey remembered, Flowey knew the truth, but he still worked against him and took joy in rubbing salt into the wounds.

Frisk fell after the battle, tired, beaten, and an inch from death. He just wanted to rest before resetting. He was just so tired. But something had changed. Who was this white pony? Why did she have wings and a horn? Why did she fill him with hope, and dread?
