We all know how the story begins, and we all know how it ends. What we do not know is what happens in that infinite moment of time between when a pony dies, and when she is returned as something new. My name is Princess Twilight Sparkle, and this is the story of how I died.

Hiatus...
Just released and on hiatus..
just not reading it then..
You put this up today and put it straight on Hiatus. Ok then Im not going to bother reading it.
I had a similar head canon where Twilight died, but I made it more to be a dick rather than have a coherent explanation. I like how this story goes and it has great potential for it to be this epic thing. I will await to see if anything new awaits.

You're missing out on something good then. Your loss, I suppose.
4357610 Are you fucking seriously not going to read a story just because he didn't decide to put the incomplete tag? Fucking seriously?
This is quite funny. A favorite and a like from this guy!
4357731 You don't get it, do you?
Why would I start reading that is not going to be finished anyway?
I hate starting something and not getting to finish it. Just like when a series gets canceled.
4357731 Im not going to start reading a story that probably wont have an ending. It would be like watching 20 minuets of a movie then never seeing how it ended.
4357731 I'm with those two on their way of thinking. Hiatus I've found translates into "Expect this to never be finished." Not exactly a fine selling point.

Meh, just being honest. I'd rather put it on hiatus, than set it to incomplete and get bugged for updates. And there is no "When I get around to it" tag. It's technically been on hiatus for over a year and I finally dusted it off to work on it, as a gift to my readers. Right now R4R is my active story, and getting precedence, and this will get some love as I have time and inspiration, as I explain in the footnote. Read it or not, I don't care, but please don't bitch about my honesty.
That just kills my motivation to work on it more. Also, I f you did read it, I explained that I am looking for some help with the story if anyone is interested. But, y'know... Book/cover, etc.
4357309 Oh, it's definitely british humor. I had a ball using it, and can;t wait for someone to figure it out.
4358042 I stand by what I said, however, I do apologize for the negativity you felt.
I'm sure there is a page somewhere on this site explaining the technicality of the terms, but people usually put up hiatus when they've given up on a story in favor of greater and higher priorities. I was commenting with that on my mind.
Hope in some way that explanation makes you feel better, but I've read too many great tales be forgotten forever and cast into the bottomless, eerily glowing pit of eternal incompletion.
4358228 I understand that, I have over two dozen on my reading list that havnt been updated in over a year. I just set them to email notify and move on to the next story. It's sad, but sometimes people just lose interest, or life happens. Like I said, this thing was in my docs since the end of Season 3... I am just finally coming back to it, but i just dont wanna get hopes up for frequent updates.
Duh, it's the same script from Conkers bad fur day.
Stupid squirls, gthe worst are the cats, bloody things.
I see what you did there.
Albus Starswirl, Albus Dumbledore, every Harry Potter fan can make the connection. Good job on the story. I really want to know what Celestia does in the shower.
4359158 Carolinus is another famous wizard as well. And yes, I'm sure everypony wants to know.
4358042 - I actually had a Quantum Leap/MLP type (Quantum Hurdle I think was the title) idea a while back. In that timeline, Twilight was a scientist like Sam, and the Project HQ was in the crystal mines beneath Canterlot, due to the crystal being able to store and amplify energy. I didn't get very far into writing it though. I might go back at some point and try again. Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.
4359289 book series to the dragon and the george along with the cartoon flight of dragons whitch was based on the dragon and the george along with the awesome draconic theory book flight of dragons
Eh, heh, I like the pre-premise, the interpretation where Twilight's alicornication is a literal death and resurrection. I would have done something with that, most definitely. I might still will. But not with Wisecrack the Grim Prince and his universal remote.
4359963 Triple A class Mage, at your service!
I love that book series. To this day, any game I play has a ranger-type character named Daffyd.
I know I've heard those lines before...
Conker's Bad Fur Day?
4357309
Conker's Bad Fur Day also came to mind as well.
4360836 top four fantasy series ever along with discworld and d the kingkiller chronicals and 3/4 of the sword of truth series.
@Drax99...
I agree with both sides of the argument here for the Hiatus...
On one side, you did things right with a healthy word-count, properly crediting your cover image to the DeviantArt(ist) otakuap, were honest about why you posted up with a Hiatus. This avoids a Dislike.
One the other side, it is a turn-off for potential readers to bother reading this if it is likely not to be continued any time soon or later (or even never). This, unfortunately, prevents a Like or even Favorite, despite the positive writing factors.
4360940 DING DING DING! WE HAVE A WEINER!
It's Greg the Reaper!
Extremely good story written here!
I would love to see more of what happens with Twilight and Starswirl, but if it stays on hiatus forever, eh, them's the brakes ,y'know...
Either way. Good chapter/one-off/whatever-it-becomes
So if Starswirl had no friends, why on Earth did his spell to turn him into an alicorn rely so much upon having friends? And I mean specifically friends because apparently being madly in love with Luna (and vice versa) doesn't count as a 'friend'.
Just a thought.
4365068 He dun goofed, which is why it didn't work right.
4364044 I do plan on working on this, just not as often as R4R. Like I mentioned I do, just put it on email notify, and go on about your business, lol.

Honestly that's less headcanon/interpretation and more actual canon if we go based on mythological imagery, like the staff's been shown to use in the show before. Apotheosis is the transcending of the mortal coil, the shedding of weakness and mortality to become a higher and more perfect being. The ascension from peasant to king, from man to god. It requires the loss of one's old station and trappings to gain the new. Which, frankly, based on everything that happened in that scene - is exactly what happened.
Twilight looks down, as if resigned. Scorching black hole in the ground where she was. Fades in to this astral world of impossibility where Celestia is waiting for her like some sort of afterlife that a being as nearly-deific as Celestia can traverse. She takes Twilight by her side and shows her the life she lived up until that point, images and memories that became the Twilight that she was that day. Then at the end, something escapes Twilight's chest (soul much?) and envelops her, transforming her as she is then deposited from above back down to earth.
The symbolism of several cultures' religious and afterlife mythos are represented in this too perfectly to be a coincidence. As proven when the Studio admitted that the shooting stars in the Apple Family Reunion episode were Applejack's dead parents, they've shown a fondness for that sort of imagery. Headcanon is meant to be a vague thing, that can't really be explained, but you think there's something there so you just accept it without any sort of logical reasoning or supporting evidence.
Personally, I say Twilight died and was reborn into the ascended form that was her destiny from the start. They just can't up and -say- that these days due to the nature of the show. ... Even if G1 had obvious deaths in it that were confirmed, more obvious attempted genocide, dark gods, and violence against infants. ... Thinking back on that, why ARE we so fucking touchy about this sort of thing these days when even the ugly ass G1 was rolling more hardcore?
Hi, "Conker's Bad Fur Day." Haven't seen you in a while.
Heh.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who caught the apotheosis 'Twilight got vaporized' angle of Magical Mystery Cure.
My head canon is that they couldn't get the scorch mark out of the floor and just threw a rug over it.
A silly way to justify pony Quantum Leap? Beautiful.
Well that was a fun little thing. I'm kinda wishing there'd be a bit where Twilight goes back, tells everyone about meeting Albus, and they think she's crazy for it. Except Luna who gets really sad and sorta happy. And blackmail, lots of blackmail!
I WANT MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Three years to the day since the last comment. Not bad.

Only saw the story today, didn't realize until after that it was old.
8232578
I have only just read it.
This story could be finished in one or more chapters, so it is a bit disappointing that it was left like this.
