Twilight Sparkle has made the discovery of a lifetime. She’s managed to reverse-engineer the underlying magic behind Celestia and Luna’s immortality, creating a spell that can bring anything back to life.
She’s still working out some of the kinks though. Unfortunately, it has a particularly annoying side effect.
Written for Aragon's The Comedy (Is Serious Business) Contest.
It's a bit rambly, but an interesting and humorous story.
I’m kinda glad I didn’t finish my story for the contest. I had a similar premise but excecuted differently. We would have cancelled each other out.
Ok, that was pretty good.
An interesting read.

Your unintentional sacrifice will be remembered, good sir.
It seems like contests are the only time I'm actually motivated to finish shit. I started this fic about two years ago, and it would still be languishing in literary purgatory if this contest hadn't come along.

Mine was also a similar story except I didn’t even get it done for the contest. If I don’t noticed the competition at the start of it, I could have had it done in two weeks. As it was I found it a week before the original end date and then ended up not getting past halfway due to writer’s block.
In hindsight, mirror clones might have actually worked with the Rules as they were. As for the story itself, poor Thanatos. No one deserves that. And hopefully Twilight will actually ask for insight in the future, especially given what happens when she assumes.
Still, all told, a morbidly fun read. Thank you for it.
Morbid and dark, yet hilarious – nothing really to add to that
That’s how you get a follow
This is hilarious and fantastic. Also, no way Twilight's new plan could go wrong! 😆

I feel like you went a bit overboard with the references, but overall it was an amusing read.

Fun.
It took me a few mentions of forty-two before I got it.
Nicely done, I love a good Purple fic.
I've never seen Twilight Sparkle written as a chaotic neutral sociopath, but I love it. This was very much a dark comedy.
Though theoretically couldn't they just use this as an assisted suicide method for terminally ill ponies? Sure, there aren't a ton of opportunities for that, but you could at least help out a few kids with terminal cancer and shit like that.
