Here lies the wistful delusions of the sleep addled mind. Actually wait, no, just me.
After a night of drinking, Vinyl Scratch finds herself in a strange predicament. Twilight also finds herself in a strange predicament, drinking far more than the other and being the source of Vinyl's predicament.
Things get pretty awkward.

Omg!!!!!!!!!!!!! so cool
Hey! It's that Dark0592 guy. Who've I've only read one story from... But I liked the writing well enough. Maybe this'll be interesting if it goes anywhere.
I never thought I’d type this, but fart more.
Well, I like this beginning.
Hopefully you will continue this.
What about all your works? Will Crimson Night get a proper sequel?
8524285
Oh? Which one was that?
8524690
I can't say anyhting definitive. This one will be basically what I do when I don't feel like working on We Rise, and I still have the Crystarium sidestory to start. Currently I don't think the crimson dawn rewrite is going to happen simply because most of its concept went into other stories. Scarlet Reverie I'm hoping to finish though.
8524875
Well... Speaking of Crimson Dawn, that was actually the story I was referring to, I'm a sucker for at least decently written Twiluna, or Twi X mare for that matter... I really need new hobbies.
8525121
Night smells of Lavender is another good one for you then, but it's older even than Crimson Night so expect a bit of cringe. If you don't mind humanization then just about every story I have is Twi x female character. It's fun to figure out ways and situations that would cause the pairings to happen naturally, even if it's normally unlikely.
Moon's Tale is still one of my favorites that I've written. Again if you don't mind humanization you'll probably like that one.
Alright, I think I like where this is going. Based on that first chapter, I was kind of worried this would be one of those stories where they just dance around the idea of romance and deny that there could be any romance there to everyone and themselves. Then, finally at the end, they just kiss or something...
8524875
Awww that's a shame. I was really looking forward to reading the rewrite and a sequel
A fun premise. You have my interest!
Well, Vinyl seems to know how to make Twi laugh, that's good.
And good thing that she has experience with taking care of those who had too much to drink the night prior, otherwise the apartment (or some parts of it) would be far messier. Who knows how many times the mess actually happened before she found out how to prevent it... probably too many to think of.
Aaaanyway, a dinner is already planned. Great! The tabloids will have a field day once they learn what's going on.
... unless the two of them troll the hell out of the press. Maybe Celestia can help with that; we know she has more than just one pranking bone in her
8525994
Yeah the sequel was honestly just me riding on the high of the original, it was never going anywhere. And I do NOT want to rewrite one of the longest pieces I've ever written, especially when it was completed
Nice chapter, it definitely has me interested in more, though, while I don't really care and will continue to read the story anyway. I am curious about your plans for making this a mature story or not. Just what do you have planned? Hmm? Also, normally the errors I find I don't care much about, but this thing annoyed me just a little too much
When you use then twice in one sentence like this, it makes at least one of them redundant, and makes it hard to read. Please, if you are an author that values a readers' sanity, remove one then.
That is all, until next chapter!
why have twi resign from princess thats the only thing bugging me about this story she worked hard for that
8530853
I never really go back and fix minor errors like that. I do value my reader's sanity, and breaking it, but a minor redundancy in dialogue isn't exactly the end of the world. If I notice it during a read through later I fix it. Otherwise it'll probably just sit there forever. I'm glad you're enjoying, though, and I have no real plans to make this have a mature rating, otherwise I would have tagged it as such.
8530875
Honestly my knowledge of cannon is up until the changeling invasion, then I skipped around heavily until the crystal empire. After that it's just what I see. It will be expanded upon in the story, but it wasn't an overnight decision and there were many reasons for it. Some having nothing to do with what's cannon. Some (hopefully) making perfect sense. Explaining further would spoil things though.
8532207
While I see what you mean, that is not exactly a good approach - it's good to eliminate as many errors as you can when others point them out to you. It benefits anyone reading (or re-reading) this in the future, and might help you with avoiding this situation the next time.
I have personally noticed a few more things - nothing too terrible, but the chapter would flow much smoother had those errors not been there.
Or, hell, ask someone to pre-read for you! I'm sure there is someone who would gladly help you.
I know I would whenever I have the time!
Anyway, rant over, onwards to the chapter itself!
It was fun, to say the least. Twi thinking ahead and doing the reservation, Vinyl still being not entirely comfortable in the company of other princesses, and Celestia teasing Twilight almost relentlessly while being completely supportive. What a lovely little family.
So, the sun princess will meet Vinyl sooner than she expected. That will be fun. Even more teasing ahead!
8533416
I do go over things before I publish, but I do miss a couple things. And I've tried having proof-readers and editors. They either try to turn the story in a different direction entirely or aren't quick enough. My upload schedule is also completely random, and if I had to wait to publish things then it'd kill stories rather quickly. It's also forgetfulness, I don't remember things need fixing until I'm re-reading them, I usually fix them then.
And I'm glad you enjoyed. I'm trying to be as realistic with interactions as I can. My headcannon may not be all that similar to actual cannon since I don't care to watch the show past where I already have watched and a lot of it is based on what's in my head/what I've previously written and read, but so far I think it's going well.
8533785
People who, instead of giving constructive criticism/feedback and fixes, try to change the base of the story... eugh. I understand pointing out discrepancies and out-of-character (within the current fic) behavior, but doing more... bleh.
But yeah, I see what you mean now. Random upload schedule is a nightmare if you want to post a chapter within a day or two, even more so when we think about the time zones.
And I'd say your headcanon is good so far - may not be 100% show accurate, but it doesn't have to be. After all, you've already deviated a lot by having Twi resign in this story.
Then again, this is fan fiction. Whatever happens here will (most definitely) never become canon. There are fics that adhere to canon, and then there are those which are outright AU.
You obviously don't want to be strictly limited by canon, so go nuts! I know I am enjoying my time with your stories
8533830
I generally go 100% AU, but I will say I had written Twilight's ascension to being an Alicorn long before it actually happened.
It was actually pretty damn similar, I wonder if I can dig that story up.
8534024
You should seriously reconsider your decision on Crimson Night. It was such a great story and I'm sure a lot of your fans would love to see a rewrite.
8536186
The story was completed, and if I were to rewrite it it wouldn't be very recognizable. It'd be humanized to start with, since my tolerance for writing ponies has severely waned, and since it is a completed story there's no drive there for me to rewrite it so even if I started one it'd just die after a few chapters. My fascination with vampires tapered off as well, but what is still there went into Scarlet Reverie and Scarlet High, which I do plan to continue.
8538678
Thanks for the explanation. I do look forward to continue reading Reverie
Every time I finish ANY of your chapters from any of your fics I'm filled with joy, and a little note of bitter sweetness at the end. I will always admire how well you write and how you always have me lost in your stories. I mean, your chapters always bring me joy, or some other intense emotion relating to the story and it's events. Bloody incredible. Thanks to that I'm always prepared to wait however long it takes for another chapter to be completed and released.
Hey, there's a chapter! I was kind of worried y'know... It seems you have a lot of stories on your account that either go on long hiatuses or just get cancelled, after the quick Nov. 1, Nov. 2, and Nov. 3, kind of just disappeared... But here we are, another update that only seems to promise more, until next time.
8546256
I appreciate you saying that, certainly makes me happy to see someone enjoying what I write.
8546947
Yeah, I've gotten away from doing long hiatuses like that. Hopefully. For now, the long-ish delays are mainly due to work or DnD games taking up my days/nights. I'm on a roll with this one, though. It's been a while since I've done a sweet little story.
Heh, and here I was thinking that the cover art was figurative, no literal
So, that's how it's going to happen, huh? The only question right now will be whether Vinyl will become a full fledged alicorn, a unicorn with wings, or something in between.
But cuddles first. Those always take priority.
Also, DJ M00n
Alright, nice chapter. It's funny, I was actually going to question the choice of cover art soon, guess this chapter answers that question. I also like how the magic between the two makes them so close, really useful for relationship building.
8547458
Glad to hear that you have gotten away from long hiatuses, and have been feeling good about this story, I'm certainly having fun reading it. Though, I can also understand D&D taking up time, that game can be addicting when you first get into it.
8548676
I've been playing for a few years now. I play in two games and I run 2-3 a week.
The unnecessary capitalisation of some words... I understand using capital letters to start words like Unicorn, Pegasus, etc, but for mare and stallion... tisk tisk
So, what timeline is this? From the start I was led to believe that it happened sometime after the whole debacle with Tirek, but this now shows that it's before him... but Spike's older... I'm confused. Probably a proper AU. Not a detriment, it just left me confused for a bit.
So, Vinyl's grown, huh? Oh, Twi, for being so smart you sure do miss the details easily. Then again, a concerned person does tend to focus on different things.
Good thing that Twi's not freaking out though. Indeed, if Celestia believed it was something terrible then she wouldn't be so cryptic about it.
Oh, I'm so looking forward to the surprise of everyone besides the current diarchs!
8552404
yeah that's my biggest offender for minor grammar farts, it just happens. This is also the first time I've written ponies since the sun and her little sparkle, I still refuse to use most of the adjectives and stuff. And as far as the timeline, I vaguely know who Tirek is. My knowledge of cannon ends after the royal wedding and the crystal empire. This is somewhere after that, but I honestly don't know how long. It's my personal headcannon that Spike grows faster than a regular dragon because of how he was hatched and all of that jazz.
Yay for DnD and great stories! Also snarky alicorn of magic, and making it a plot point about being the element of magic increasing her mana pool, oooohhh I love it! It's suprising how many stories I've read that make no points on her element affecting her personal mana pools or capabilities. I will say it again, your stories make me so emotional I start gushing, something I never do. Fantastic job!
8552831
glad you like it : D
When is the next chapter?
8553266
Probably later tonight or tomorrow if I can get it finished.
8552440
This was an interesting chapter. I like the development of Vinyl's condition. But I have to say your knowledge of cannon is lacking. If you have a vague knowledge of Tired you'd probably know that he was able to steal ALL Equestrian magic for a few minutes. Well before he got the alicorn magic, he battled a Twilight with the magic of all 4 alicorn princesses. The Golden Oaks Library (Twilight's home) was an unfortunate casualty of the battle. And after defeating Tirek was given a crystal castle in the vague shape of a tree.
That's all for now, so until next time!
8554256
yeah all know is that Tirek was a red dude with horns and that's where my knowledge of him ends. I haven't watched much at all past the changeling invasion, though I do know about Sombra and the crystal empire that's as far as I got. I personally can't stand the show, not after that point, so I'm happy with working with what I have and developing headcannons and settings the way I want them.
8555625
Huh. Seems like your interest in the show died out pretty early but you're still pumping out fics. I can respect that. I think most people would've just stopped whatever story they were working on regardless of how well it was doing. Good to see you're not one of em'.
8557005
I was never too interested in the show to be honest. I only watched for Discord, and then because I was bored. The art people crate, both visually, musically, and in writing, is what keeps me in the fandom. There's a reason most of my fics are AU, and all but this one recently are humanized.
8557111
Eh, That's fine. I do like the show, but I like it in the same way I liked PPG and Dexter's Lab. I didn't even become a brony until I think early last year and that was only after I finally decided to read Fallout Equestria. For me the fanfictions are the biggest reason i'm a brony. Might write one someday but, meh who knows.
8557277
do it. Even if it's bad, it's a learning experience. If it's something your passionate about then the only person that needs to enjoy you doing it is you.
8557630
To be honest I do have an idea for a story that i've been building for a few months. The problem is I don't have a desktop or laptop so i'd have to use my phone and I am NOT going to write my first fic (or any fic hopefully) on a phone.
8557703
get a notebook for like 50$. It's your best bet.
Vinyl is such a bad, I mean fun, influence on Twilight! It's GREAT!
thats a badass cover art
8557714
Something I remarked and it is bugging me a little bit in this chapter, the transition between Twilight's pov and Vinyl's pov is non existent so to speak and it caught me off guard, not only that but the two hours time lapse was just made obvious after Twilight told Vinyl.
Could you do something to make the transition more smooth, pretty please with a cherry on top.
8557860
At this point it's from both of their perspectives, though I try to keep it to Vinyl's it just hasn't been happening. As for the transitions, there isn't all that much to do. Some transitions are little more than hard cuts since there's no conversation or anything of the sort to fill the gap, it'd be jarring to separate such a small time lapse by lines or something. I do what I can, though, and I'll pay more effort to them in the future. Thanks for the feedback.
And finally, the transformation I was anticipating happens! Quite the first day of alicornhood I must say. Waking up with wings. Getting your first preening right after. Becoming friends with Equestria's oldest alicorn. And then finally... Drunk sex with the amazing alicorn that pretty much turned you into one. Sounds like quite the exciting day to me.
This is more amusing to me than you probably thought it would be, and the only reason it is, is because it's been done in the show before. Obviously after you stopped watching, though. Please watch the scene below, I think even you might find some amusement from it.
8558003
My headcannon version of Celestia is WAY less regal and princess-y and far more 'big sister/motherly' when she's not anywhere for official business, but the fact that it actually happened and I wasn't aware of it is very amusing XD. Wouldn't be the only thing, or the most important thing, I've gotten right without realizing/before it happened in one of my stories.
