bravo
LOVE IT!
why can't i give more than 1 upvote to a story. Very few stories have me wanting to upvote and favorite more than once. This story is one of them.
I expected something epic emerging from the union of friendship magic and love magic...
but there is still doubt in the pink princess...
And NOW you plan to bring Shining back?
Ouch, he will be so different and this relationship will get awkward with him around...
Anyway, I crave more of this story!
Another great chapter. Also I'm sure the line was meant to reference Riply but being a Harry Potter fan I can't help but think that Molly would be proud! Though we can't let that take away from Cadance's own accomplishments. Playing Chicken with Nightmre Moon and getting in one hell of a shot is no small feat for someone who doesn't really have combat training.
Also s it just me or is Cadance more of a skilled flier here then in Canon? While granted it could be chocked up to heat of the moment and all that. I doubt it is as given the line about her being able to fly back to her room with her eyes closed she's a bit more familiar with her wings then the show implies her to be.
I don't think it was your intention, but I can't help but find the romance between Twilight and Cadence a little creepy.

Given that she supposedly was originally a pegasus, I'd like to firmly believe she's a pretty skilled flier given my headcanons about Pegasi mating flights.
*coughs*
That's a subject for another fic, anyway.

They're not related, it'll be OK.

GIVE IN TO THE CUTE.
okay so if cadance is staying with twilight, how are you twisting the timeline to fit?
need so much more of this, it is an amazing depiction of an time alteration spell I have ever read, keep up the good work.
I'm really liking this pacing! Not too slow, but not too fast. Good job, I can't wait for the next chapter!
3997120 This is the first of your fics I've read so yeah. As for her originally being a Pegasus my counter arguments are Fluttershy and Ditzy. Pegasi =/= expert flier. Still the show itself implies that she didn't fly much. at least from what I recall but my memory isn't the best.
On a happier note I like that you show that Celestia does NOT by any means enjoy playing chess master. Like Dumbledore I never thought she did but that doesn't mean I have to like them pulling strings behind the scenes after all that's typically not good guy behavior there though some do use it.
I intended to refrain from commenting until I was certain whether or not I'd stick this story through (which might be irrelevant if it's already close to completion, which it could easily be if the time skips keep coming), but I want to ask:
Is this line referencing how very open their relationship is? I'm not sure if it's my feelings for the current state of their relationship making that connection, or if you're actually implying that Cadance wants to devote herself more fully to Twilight and that the openness of their relationship is a symptom of emotional issues regarding romance. Twilight shouldn't have any such emotional issues, and yet she was having all sorts of horny thoughts about the ponies she was meeting last chapter, so I'm leaning toward it just being hopeful thinking on my behalf.
In any case, this chapter was decidedly lacking in what made me dislike the previous. I really liked seeing the adventure and it's little differences from canon from Cadance's perspective.

Without spoiling things, we've got another 8 chapters or so left to go, maybe 9 if I decide to extend a particular sequence of events. Still a lot of development and a big climactic scene yet to come.
I am interested to see the queen try's to change into this time around. Twilight would be having none of that shit!
Squee! Loved this chapter!
When are we getting that scene?
Well, as much as I still disagree with Celestia's thinking, you did a great job of explaining her actions.
I still think what she did to Shiney was an extreme overreaction. She is basically saying that whoever is with Cadence can never have any argument with her in fear that said squabble will mean the love is gone. That's just silly. Your partner isn't your clone. Of course there will be things they disagree with. Of course you will do something that will piss them off. That's how life works. If Twilight gets mad at Cadence will it be time to start over again? I think Celestia has a bit of tunnel vision here.
Still, the whole explanation scene was masterfully handled.
I do like that Cadence wants to make things right with Shining Armor. How well that goes down...
I look forward to Rarity finding out that Twilight knows Fancy Pants(in every sense of the word! Oh ho ho ho! I've still got it!...why?). That will make the whole Twilight birthday party episode go a lot differently(if that even comes up in this story).
The Gala should go a bit differently. Twilight can tell Applejack that Canterlot snobs do not like good food, get Rainbow Dash into the Wonderbolts after party orgy, warn Rarity about Blueblood, teach Canterlot party etiquette to Pinkie, and tell Flutershy...nothing. Twilight doesn't know anything about Canterlot critters.
Ok, so, if Cadence is staying in Ponyville and will be involved with Twilight's future adventures...
That means we get to see a Discorded Cadence, right? Her Love turned to Hate. She will be positively evil. Will Twilight's psyche even be able to handle that? Oh it should just be delicious!
3997791
I would call attention to the fact that, as far as Celestia knows, Cadence's love magic (Which works how that earlier poster described it) Simply ceased to work on Shining Armor at all. She has no idea that Chrysalis was involved in that, and thus was forced to leap to certain conclusions about how Shining Armor felt about Cadence. She had ALWAYS been able to fix her arguments before by reinforcing their mutual feelings for one another, but when that suddenly stopped working....
It wasn't "Just one argument." It was, from Cadence's perspective, Shining completely abandoning his feelings of love for her, since she couldn't reinforce the emotion. Cadence tells Celestia, and Celestia makes assumption / judgement call.
3997818
Oh, I get that. I still felt it was an extreme reaction. I mean, she could have had her own talk with Shining Armor directly. She also could have found a way to deal with the problem that didn't involve straining his relationship with his own family via training exile.
Still, I get what you're saying. She made snap call that may have not been the best way to handle things. She isn't perfect.
This brings up an important question, though. Did Shiney write to Cadence at all while he has been away? I mean, she was supposed to be reading his letters after all...
What exactly happened to Spike? We go from seeing him fine to seeing him unconscious without any mention of the change of state, unless I'm missing something (and if I am, I apologize).
Other than that, I found this another good chapter, and I quite look forward to seeing where the story goes next.
3997139 You have failed, this comment has severely disappointed me. You have failed to exploit the perfect opening for this video reference.
Ok, I've got to ask just one question about one of the future chapters here and now:
Cadence missile?
Anywho, this chapter was a most excellent read (par for the course) and I can't wait to see the rest of the timeline trying to force fix itself cause we all know that's where the fun really is. Discord will really create a monster this time around, won't he?

3998265 He fainted offscreen, in the same way he fainted in the show. Twilight was a bit busy confronting NMM to notice immediately.
This chapter blew my mind. Patterns and possibilities coalescing based around snippets of evidence that were just hinted at. I'm so glad this is on my favorites because if Lapis even lightly taps the things that I now suspect may be happening then this will be one of the most interesting stories I've read here.
I liked this chapter a lot! Cadence's emotions seemed about right to me instead of what I feared from earlier. It will be interesting to see how the others interact with 'Love Beat'.
Also... Hurray relationship progression!!!
I look forward to the next chapter.
Well, this was certainly interesting. I am really enjoying this alternate timeline thing.
Pegasus, you're a Pegasus at the moment. Stay in character girl. Hehe.
But Celestia, it's four in the afternoon isn't it a bit late to be raising the sun. Maybe we should just wait til tomorrow.
So, now that Twilight has all these new friends, will we be seeing a Mane six orgy anytime soon?
3997791 You're not thinking fourth dimensionally, the Gala episode won't happen at all. Remember Ticket Master, not that episode is just going to go like this.
"Hey Cadence, we got tickets to the Gala!"
"Great!"
End of episode, and none of the other Element will go.
3997499
Having horny thoughts about very attractive people seems like a perfectly normal reaction to me. Twilight has yet to give us her opinion on the current state of her relationship, besides that she is happily in love with Cadence, but when challenged I expect her to thoroughly lecture any pony with an exhaustive list of reasons why she thinks they are wrong (that, or worry endlessly if she thinks she did something wrong *g*). On that note, it would not really surprise me if she actually suggests a four-way with Cadence, Spitfire and Rainbow Dash in the near future, so watch out.
3994657
You did not disappoint. The last chapter was a bit ambiguous towards the state of their relationship. With the whole time skip and our couple getting separated right after, it felt like there was something missing from the story. I only noticed upon rereading, at the beginning, Twilight was teasing Cadence about that very same thing. Calling her deliberately "my love" to remind her that she still is in love with her, despite Cadence being afraid of a commitment, and patiently waiting in her position as "friends with benefits" for Cadey to realize/acknowledge her own feelings. That is some serious dedication on her part.
This chapter overtly declares that part and then goes much further. When the fate of the world and more importantly Twilights life hung in the balance, Cadence was finally able to once more access her magic of love and not only save her, but also ignite the very spark Twily needed in order to understand the nature of the Elements. As in, ponies being there for one another has a magic of it's own, be it comradery against the Windigos, friendship channelled by the Elements of Harmony, or romantic love between two (or more) ponies.
One critique however: during the town-hall scene, our heroes somehow already knew Celestia was missing and tried to find her outside. This makes no sense, since at that time she very much still was supposed to appear at the balcony and they had no indication otherwise and should go towards her instead.
Wow...I...ALL OF THE LIKE!!! Can I upvote this more? I WANT to upvote this more!! The dynamic between Cadence and Twilight, and sheer depth of character we're getting and the amount of non-mane Six characters that are now here and involved! ...I need to thank Dear Chrissy...can we send her Fluffle Puff early? Like, make her cannon and stuff...? Please? She deserves it for doing us all such a huge favor!

Twilight wasn't sure where to go looking for Celestia, so her first inclination was to go outside where the Sun raising ceremony was intended to take place.
3999088 Witch might be fore the best. Much as it's tempting to see how things would go wrong here. I really do wish to spare Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rainbow the pain. Nothing against Pinkie or Rarity but well, Rarity kinda needed that bubble burst lest some clever and cruel "Noble" decided to make use of that by toying with her for the privilige of saying "Yes, I'm dating a national hero!" And exploiting that and more for all it's worth. As for Pinkie, while the Gala may be as lively as a mortuary at Midday the vast majority of the other guests were still enjoying it in their own way even if she and others weren't.
3999366
Ah my mistake, Twilight wasn't listening to the mayor and missed the part where she announces Celestia to appear at the balcony. Canon events confused me here :)
3999381 Yeah I agree, Rarity did need that, but the Trenderhoof incident should help with anyway.
3998418
Ah, thanks.
3999416 I'll take your word for that. My cable plan doesn't include the Hub and I can't afford to subscribe to it. and well When I tried to watch Daring Done it was behind a pay wall on Youtube. Though that may have changed now as I saw The weird al episode without such issues... need to check into that.
Anyhow I'm glad to hear that Rarity's odds of being taken advantage of like that are going down. That's always good news to hear. people and ponies aren't good or evil by default but some still have some disgusting ideas and tendencies.
That was very cute chapter This will be interesting seeing Cadence being with Twilight during the seasons Also seeing all the shipping that will be happening That was great how you fit it and didn't change the way the episodes went really I still want Shining Armor and Luna shipped I WANT MOAR SOON! If that is alright with you
3998346
AHHH! KILL IT KILL IT!
I think you repeated some words.
I feel like one of those sifting should be shifting
I eagerly await for more.
Best of luck, stay healthy, and update soon!

Definitely looking forward to seeing things be made right for Shining and seeing what form that will take. People have been suggesting ShiningLuna in the comments, that could be interesting.
Chains of fate hold a fiery stride.
I had thought that the threads of the story would find another, but I did not expect this. Now Twilight plays the parts of two, but what of Cadence? Does she still play her own part in her own shared story, an outsider looking into Twilight's other story and able to see much that others do not?
Too many unknowns. Far too many unknowns.

Twisting time tends towards turbulent uncertainty. Unknowns unfold, unfortunately, under unscrupulous usurpations of fate.
Letters letters letters, alliteration, wheeee!

You know what? You're absolutely right.
Listening to john dreamers dark souls 2 song true strength made this chapter and my day great
3998373
Spinal Tap reference? Lol
She knows. SHE KNOWS!
Another great chapter and Cadance was badass fighting Nightmare Moon.
Nice chapter, good work.
...That Celestia… She is very... Celestia. Is there any other acceptable word for Celestia? No, Celestia is Celestia, plain as that.
