One summer night, Twilight Sparkle begins to suffer from terrifying, apocalyptic nightmares. As these horrors persist, she asks Princess Luna for help. All the while she struggles to deal with her faltering relationship with Rainbow Dash.
Things take a turn for the worse when the cataclysmic events Twilight had been witnessing in her dreams begin happening in the real world. As the Mane 6 and the other citizens of Equestria get engaged in a bitter struggle for survival, Twilight and Rainbow Dash begin to reconnect as the matters that had separated them become trivial in the ruins of the sites they had once cherished.
However, just when a glimmer of hope begins to show through the dark nature of their environment, Twilight sees something in her nightmares that forces her to make the ultimate sacrifice and will forever change the way she sees other ponies.

Edit 2023:
Woooowie! Been a long time since this huh? But I won't waste your time, you're here for the good stuff!
This story idea was a ponification of another story idea I had back in 2012. Obviously in 2017 I was far newer to writing and wasn't familiar with the site, not to mention not even a hundredth of the pony fan I am today, including this painfully long Long Description. I've abandoned the idea long ago, but now that I'm back into writing I decided to make a bit of a challenge to start randomly updating this.
I don't care too much if no one reads this; it's been tracked by only 8 people as of now so I'm not expecting anything to come of it, but it'll be fun to see this receive an occasional update now and then x3
Enjoy the crazy ride!
I will say that this isn't bad. It needs just a tad more refinement. Some places need more detail and some need less. Also, if you want to write on it without publishing it, you can save your work and edit it without putting it out there.
Thanks! I get what you're saying; I'll probably try to speed things up with the setting... My plan for this story is to have atleast two chapters before the "events" begin to happen.
What the hell is that Long Description yeeesh I was veryyy new to writing stories hahaha

If you don't like it, then why don't you change it?
My main takeaway from this is I that I really like putting emphasis on the idea that ponies are used to seeing tornadoes only from pegasi, and the lack of pegasi leading to concern. That was clever, I love the little narrative mechanics that are unique to MLP.
In which one of your stories did that happen?

That's is an amazing quote Siks-dea! Thank you! Absolutely brilliant! Perfection transcribed unto a imperfect medium. I would 120% recommend this fic to any who get too close. Again thank you for the amazing quote!
Alright, you have my attention, however, I hope you some day go back over chapter one. That was probably the roughest chapter I've ever read from you, 6-D. It doesn't have to take away the writing style that you deployed from back then, but I think the grammar is just rough overall in that chapter.
This and chapter two are very well written. Love how you portray Rarity and Twilight here. Hoping to see more from Rainbow here as that weather pattern doesn't sound all too good, and Twilight being a seer of the future impending doom just screams an apocolyptic nightmare that will definitely make Twilight weary every step she takes.
Also, I didn't get a Fallout vibe from this fic surprisingly, so that's something to note. Tracked.
