The show may have ended, but I'm going to keep on reading until the last writer stops writing!

Darkness envelops Equestria. No one could have stopped Nightmare Moon from taking over, and with no Celestia and no hope at all the world is in a grim place. Unbeknownst to the new Empress, two colours bring a new light in her precious land of darkness.

A poem in ten parts, this story was created for Monochromatic's Rari/Twi fanfic contest, and funnily enough inspired by their work, The Enchanted Library.

Cover art was drawn by the amazing Multiversecruise.

Sounds interesting, I can't wait to read it later tonight!

Well that was diffrwnt. Very impresive.

I am just astonished at a four thousand word fic composed entirely of quatrains. That alone would've been impressive. But to tell a beautiful and evocative love story on top of that? Amazing.

This was an absolute joy to read, thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it :twilightsmile:
I can tell you the whole rhyming thing got old fast when you need to write so much, but I'm glad how it came out in the end :twilightsheepish:

Thank you! I wouldn't say it's the best story, but poems are always nice to read, and poems that tell a story even more so. I don't mind if it wins or not I just hope Mono enjoys it too! :twilightsmile:

I wasn't sure how much I'd like this when I saw it was poetry, as I'm not a big fan of it, but this was delightful! The lines were really clever and well thought out. Very skillful indeed! The story itself was interesting too, I liked the alternate universe aspect of this as well as the dream realm. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

There's spot after spot where it could be improved, but this is damned impressive, well done. :)

The last thing I expected was to find poetry in this contest. I actually came across this first when I started to read the stories and decided to skip it until the end. More because I wasn't in the right headspace to properly appreciate poetry at the time rather than any serious thoughts against it. Still, I'm glad I went through it. I haven't been a poet in a very long time, but I will say that the story did move me far more than I expected. Especially since the author is telling a variant AU of Nightmare Moon's attack. While the ending is indeed rushed a little, I actually don't think the story suffers too much from that.

It was a gorgeous, wonderous piece.

(I was actually one of the judges for the contest and I realized I'd never posted my comments, so very sorry for forgetting that and thank you for such a UNIQUE piece!)

Wow! Thanks for the comment Novel, it was nice to see this out of the blue. I’m happy that you liked it, it means a lot to hear you say that :twilightsmile:

The attempt was impressive, and I have to admire your ambition, but the execution leaves something to be desired. Still, thank you for the effort.

Hi, I did you a reading! Unfortunately, you can hear all the spots where the meter doesn't work really well. :/
