Star Swirl the Bearded is one of The most influential ponies of all time. So why is it that behind all the myths and legends of the pony, none seem to know where he came from, and none know what happened to him? Who was Star Swirl? Twilight Sparkle will learn, from the stallion's own journal, filled with his memories (literally), who he was.

Ooh, this is INTERESTING. I had an idea like this I wanted to make a fic of.

I also have many easy ideas :) and trouble writing... :|

Am I... you? :twilightoops:

Loved this! And oh my gosh, I've seen Trixie as a SS descendant, but never an ancestress! I laughed like a madwoman at that part. Looking forward to the ending, even if it's a bit mind-bending. :pinkiehappy:

4522751 Thanks that really means a lot. Seriously it does.

That.. The Marvin I love you song! O.O Wow, rare to hear that from anyone. I'm not even sure where I ran into the four(?) songs about Marvin. Heh, he should've told her to pack a towel along with that cloak. :pinkiehappy:

That was a finely crafted ending-- Beautiful, poignant-- And yet I think that even if the happy ending turns out cliche and cheesy, I'll still like it better. Even if they got to spend decades (albiet backwards) together, I think that those times together are like pringles. One, a dozen... Screw it, the whole canister. :rainbowlaugh:

Also maybe they can settle down and be Celestia and Luna's ancestors. :rainbowhuh:

4634819 That's how I feel about the stories I read. There's the good ending where something is bad, and then there's what you want to happen (Or what should have happened if only the characters were thinking!:twilightangry2: But nooo, they would have to deal with it in real time, under pressure when you can't obsessively think about how it could have gone right... This happens a lot to the stories I read)

Yes! Yesyesyesy--ahem. I mean to say, I shed happy tears for this one. Especially after the last one. Yay happy endings! :pinkiehappy:

*snrk* getting into the weird endings, eh? It made me laugh a good bit. :)


4693424 Ending 3 is my official Funny/Alicorn ending. I think I'm going to do action next.

(Warning, spoilery)

And then when he turned into the tree MY BRAIN EXPLODED.

Like, there were bits everywhere. Very gross. But also very awesome. Does this make harmony tree x immortal Twi a ship now?

4728799 You mean it isn't already?:pinkiegasp: I have created a ship!! Hahaha!

I wrote this and considered making a mild gore warning, but it was late, I'd have to reread what I just wrote, and so I decided that I was just overreacting. Hope that it wasn't to much for anyone.:facehoof:

Ive seen this piece of fanon before, in other places.....I have to say, I do like this one actually... Good Ending :-)

I'm not a good Beta Reader, so I can't really comment on mistakes, writing style seems fine...

As for suggestions: Explore more bits of fanon. Not sure which ones, but there are probably others out there that could work....

oo, I have one. Like in Back to the Future, have him leave a letter that can be delivered by Derpy at an Exact time and date, right after he leaves with his spell, and then write something sappy and funny...or something....with the journal he also left that would be kinda silly...but who cares...call it a backup plan unless the journal didn't work...or maybe the journal was the backup plan in case the letter got lost....IDK. That's my ending idea, now you turn it from an idea seed into a story fragment (i suck at that step...always have). :-)

Last one huh... Damn

If it truly is the last I have to say my favorite by far is star swirl turning into the tree, it's the first time for me hearing that concept and I felt that entire chapter overall was beautifully made and scripted.

At first he seemed so glib about it that I didn't really believe him, but then the grand reveal...! Hey, does this mean Twi indirectly caused Discord's reign and stuff?

Loved the deus ex changeling-ica, hehe. Silly ending, not because of the content (your lover being warped into a twisted immortal who had to wait through all that time to reveal himself again is definitely tragic) but Discord being Discord makes it funny. It's a two-for-one sale!

And possibly a set of very traumatized restaurant staff. Eight alicorns, one changeling queen, two unicorns and a draconequus walk in.. XD

Funny story about Shiny's vocal cords. He became immortal but they didn't. Cady says the marriage has never been better.

I like ending 5 it's kind of funny and sweet at the end:twilightsmile:

Quantum Leap, hoping each time, that his next leap will be the leap home.
