Takes place right after Every Little Thing She Does. For the purposes of this story, Mirror Magic takes place early Season Six.
While trying to deal with the guilt she feels after mind-controlling her friends, Starlight Glimmer accepts an invitation from Sunset Shimmer to spend the weekend with her in the human world. But while she's there, a magic device she created to warn her if her human counterpart is nearby goes off. Instead of leaving or staying away as she had initially planned though, she finds the idea of what her life could have been like in this different world, a life without the magic that constantly leads her down the wrong path too compelling to resist. Ignoring Twilight's warnings about maintaining the balance between the two worlds, she tracks down her human version instead.

So, I’ve gone ahead and marked this complete. I know that probably isn’t very satisfying, and I know people were waiting for the last chapter, but writing isn’t really something I can maintain in anything other than short creative bursts. If I can work up the creative burst to add a final bonus chapter, well, than this will get another update. If not, than it won’t.
I'm intrigued. Nice work so far
Nooo, Starlight...
Okay, you have caught my attention. Let's see how this one plays out...

Good to hear next chapter is done, and will be released Wednesday.
Cute, sweet chapter (apart from the mentions of death).
I think it might be interesting if Starlight met the parents of the other, that would give them one heck of a surprise.
I'm super excited for the final chapter!

Good! Unfortunately, I misremembered some bits from the show, so I'm having to rewrite the part I already wrote as well as shuffle around some elements. Glad I gave a generous estimate for its release, it should still be out sometime this month.

Good.
I certainly look forward to the next chapter.

Glad to hear it! It’s turned out way longer than planned, again, and I want to just finish up the rest of the story and release it all at once, so it will be a little while.
Still doesn't sense why that's there.

I agree.
As much as I want her to leave that compass behind, this story wouldn't go on without it.

It might just help you more than you think Starlight.

Right...
How could she if she has a watch?!?

Is she seriously letting Spike go back to Twilight's house alone! If I was in her position I'd ask him to stay with me til the situation they were in was over.

Guess they should've waited til they were finished eating.

We did learn more on Starlight, but we didn't get to see her counterpart, nor Sunsets.
Awww.
Oh boy...
It'll be tough to talk to her about, but it'll get easier... with time.
Despite the mistakes I found and the ending, I really enjoyed this. I kinda wish we saw Starlight in eqg again following Mirror Magic, but knowing she appeared in it to begin with, just makes me all the more happier.
