Bookish Delight


I've moved on from Fimfiction. New works on AO3!

T

After the events of the Royal Wedding, Twilight Sparkle questions the purpose of her very existence. She fortunately has friends in high places who may be able to provide some answers... but heaven help her if they prove to not be enough.

Hey, looks good. I'll be interested to see where this goes.

Hmmmm... this is getting interesting

Huh...That actually does well in explaining why those two fell out of contact. It also shows the softer side of Celestia that we only vaguely see.

I see much potential in this story, mate. I'mma keep this on watch. *tracked*

Wasn't chapter 1 a oneshot on Equestria Daily a while back?

Didnt make any sense to me sorry.

I sense a certain theme in the chapter titles so far. I wonder if it'll be continued, and if it'll ultimately mean anything.

Twilight wants to be just like Princess Celestia...

but Princess Celestia isn't perfect.

Where does she go from here?

I for one am intrigued to find out.

Not to my knowledge! Though now you've got me curious...

864456
Very observant. :twilightsmile:

863395
My aim with this story was to provide several potential answers to dangling questions, regardless of whether or not they'll be disproven down the line. Expend the trend to continue--and thanks!

864850
You've got the gist of it! :D Thanks for being interested! Future chapters will delve deeper.

862987>>862990>>863020>>863064
Thanks, you guys. :heart: Keep checking back--the ride's only started!

I don`t get why you marked this as "sad".

Twilight going through a crisis of faith?
This I gotta see...

-Sees chapters are named after less well-known Genesis games.-
:rainbowderp:

-Must read even more.-

:twilightsmile:

Really get to know her again. Then tell her.
She'll understand
then you can finally put this whole thing to rest.

Hmm, so the story isn't all going to be about Twilight's worry over herself?

882184
Not all, no. Every character listed in this story's profile will be explored in some manner. All I can say without spoilers. :twilightsmile:

879561
:scootangel:

Poor Twi, seems like she is prone to depression and self-deprecating thoughts. I really can't wait to read more especially after that whole filly-hood bombshell thing. Did Cadance ever tell anyone about that night?!

Aww, so sweet. :twilightsmile:

Looks like Lulu is next then.

945215
You'll have to stay tuned to find out. :twilightsmile:

946320
Thanks! And yep, looks that way. ^_^

Hm. So Twilight wasn't planning to commit suicide. Just... open to the possibility. Which raises the question: what was she hoping to accomplish? Some sort of 88-MPH thing, or...? Well, I suppose we'll see. In time.

Maybe she wanted to fly?

Needs more revenge obsessed, undead human warriors. No wait, that's my story.:trollestia:

978451
Indeed, it is. It's impossible for me to write any of those things. :pinkiehappy:

Loving It... It's so .... AWESOME!
(Sort of...)
[Watched]
Keep writing, Mate

We watch the lightning crack over cane fields
Laugh and Think
This is Australia

Yes. This will be good. It deserves... This:
:moustache::moustache:
Very Good. Excellent.
Short sentences. They are good.

This is Australia...

I'm thinking for Twilight it was more of an "equation of pain": she had accidentally caused pain to another pony, so to punish herself, she'd subject herself to at least as much pain herself.

...and that last sentence used "herself" so many times that it ceases to have any intelligible meaning anymore.

A cold open in a story? That's new. *continues reading*

Great so far! I look forward to more. :twilightsmile:

1213427
Thank you! :twilightsmile: More is indeed coming!

And yeah, cold opens are kind of one of my calling cards. :coolphoto:

Poor Twilight, all she wanted was to fix everything.:raritydespair::raritydespair::pinkiesad2:

Nice to see this one continue! Poor Twilight always puts too much pressure on herself... She's so loveably messed up.

You know what hurts the most ?

...I'm sorry for ever being alive! Knowing how that feels...

Another title for this could be MLP:PTSD. Very interesting.

1402764
We've all been there at one time or another. (hug) :heart:

1402786
You know, I've heard that more than once about this story (as well as its predecessor), which is odd since I've never had such an experience to draw from.. none that was diagnosed as such, anyway. Not disagreeing, just saying it leaves me curious. :pinkiesmile:

1402405
Yeah, I had to step away from this one for a bit. I was honestly taking on too much sad material at once and my muse went all out of sorts. :applecry: Fortunately we're coming to the light at the end of the tunnel!

1402901

More Romantic stories? Do want!

1402764 what hurts the most was being so close, and having so much to say! and watching you walk away! sorry that was horrible

GREAT SNAKES ON A PLANE!
That nightmare was just DARK. Emotionally jarring. I got a chill just reading it. And once fridge logic sets in...DAMN!

Why do I find all the best things late? I LOVE "Polaris!"

It seems like every chpater you create more Crowning Moments of Heartwarming....I count at least three in this chapter alone....
Well done.

Yeah... It's been difficult for me to tell when she's dreaming or not, but I think she's been asleep since last chapter.
Great story though! Twilight and Shining Armor... So awesome.

This is Australia...

Chapter 4's title made me think of this

[youtube=4N3N1MlvVc4]

This is quite an interesting fic!

upon reading the dreaming sections....before I know if she's awake....
:pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy::pinkiegasp::pinkiegasp::rainbowderp::rainbowderp:

*she wakes up*
:rainbowlaugh:


very interested as to see how this all develops!

1562931
Only three? Looks like I need to step it up! :pinkiehappy:

1612494
Yeah I saw your story submitted an hour ago and said the same thing! I charge royalties, just so you know.

(kidding :pinkiehappy: And indeed, that game's title just fits. I think Shining Force is still up for grabs, though!)

I keep bumping up against the fact that Cadence is so... levelheaded even though everypony else seems to be losing theirs...

She also knows more than she should, given that she was young when Twilight and Shining were...

It's still a good story though, and I can't wait for the rest.
