This story is a sequel to Unfinished
In the aftermath of the Nightmare's near-victory, Twilight Sparkle struggles with her status as an alicorn and the lingering gulf between herself and her senior Princesses. Love inspires awesome and terrifying things, but the path to harmony and friendship may leave her more broken than before. Beneath it all, a lingering memory refuses to be ignored.
Dusk Shine still lives, and he wanders the wasteland of unfinished stories and forgotten dreams at the bottom of the universe, attempting to put his world back together. The price to remake his home may be greater than he can bear, but one name still guides him: Twilight Sparkle.
Two paths draw close once more, not to run side by side, but meet each other head-on.

Hmm? A sequel to Unfinished? Unexpected, yet not unwanted. I sadly forgot the ending of that fic, like where the characters ended up, but let's see where this goes...
Oh hell yeah.
Been looking forward to the sequel for a while now. This should be quite the read if its prequel is anything to go by.
Yay. Just read unfinished. Amazing read, hope this one is too.
May it find it's potential unwasted.
I find myself worrying that one of the characters from my abandoned stories will burst from the earth and demand to know why I let it drop...
In any case, I wasn't expecting this story, but I'm very glad to see it exist. I look forward to more.

>Praises author and promises to re-read his best work
>Author goes emo and insinuates that All Skin and Bones is not his best work
Y u do this to Apple Bloom?
Loved Unfinished, can't wait for more.
That escalated quickly...
Great chapter, Red. Did catch a small typo:
Got a missing space there.
Really liking where this is going. Keep it up!
Damn, can't wait for the next chapter after that speech.
Okay. Finally read this.
Holy shit.
Please keep writing.
I like the message she swayed them with here. Very fitting.
Poor Spike, the stuff he puts up with as Twilight's assistant.
This mirror argument is pretty convincing.
Ahh, excellent. I was just a tiny bit worried with the crazied flight that she was going to go off solo and break the world again. If you're going to break the world, might as well have your friends with.
There's a sequel? There's a sequel, and it's fantastic.
Wow, sent shivers down my spine.

Hehehe, you guys are such hams.
Well, shoot. Now I really don't know where this is going.
Great chapter, thanks for posting it.
Excellent chapter, I was a bit worried that the story was abandoned.
Ohhhhhhh. I get it. Dusk Shine is traveling through a crystal forest in an icy wasteland, and Twilight is in the Crystal Empire and freaking out. She's mentally in an icy wasteland, and he's physically in one.
Dichotomy. Nice.
Nitpickery: you constantly flip back and forth between "Cadance" and "Cadence" and it is very, very jarring. You might want to pick one or the other.

Fixed. Thank you for noticing my silly metaphors!
Hang on, Rainbow blitz appeared where Dusk is when Rainbow dash arrived in the Empire where Twilight is..... Then that means.....
Mirrors. That seems to be the entire motif going on here. I fear that Dusk isn't really in some wasteland, but maybe... trapped in Twilight's mind? Like, maybe she sucked in a portion of his being at the end of the first story, and now it's trying to get out? And since Twilight apparently is God-tier, and can make or break realities as she pleases, she needs to recreate Dusk's world? But what would happen if Twi tried to tap into that kind of power again?
Squirrel, you better not make us wait another 22 dayum weeks for the next chapter...
Yeah, this was a really good chapter. Some great imagery you painted.

[Endless astonishment]
When did this happen?
Just like before, I feel like a five-year-old that's gotten hold of a book on particle physics. There's so much here that I'm not picking up on, but I guess that's what keeps me coming back.
Bump
is this story abandoned cause it would be a dam shame im rly liking this sequel
No! This story can't end like this. I loved the original and I'm loving this one so far. Please make it continue.

Now that prince of dust is over, I hope to get time to work on this.

Thank you for replying. I will be looking forward to it.
I really like your writing style. And both parts of this story (It's not often I go back to re-read segments right after I finish reading a story but you have fantastic way of putting some of these scenes to words). If you're serious about finishing this tale then I'll be really looking forward to it.
Why must I start reading stories before finding out if the sequels are finished?!!!
Hope this one day receives an update.
Hello, are you still there? It’s been three years!
