Sometimes we commit mistakes and, as they say, the best thing you can do is to learn from them. Sometimes, those same mistakes can change your life, too.
Twilight Sparkle will realize this when, after a series of unfortunate events, she ends up trapped on the other side of the mirror.

Why do you want to change the cover art? It looks good to me.

Interesting title... I'll try to get to this soon.

Wanted something less casual, I guess? Probably will stay like that for a long while :fluttershyouch:

i am really liking dis stowy keep goin!!!!:pinkiehappy:

This sounds pretty interesting.

It’s an interesting start, but you have a lot of purple prose. Not that that is bad, but it does seem like a lot of unnecessary wordage and it can be a bit distracting and sometimes confusing. Hopefully, you will explain what exactly happened to Twilight in those fifteen days before she ran into Celestia. I look forward to more.

I've never heard of purple prose (we don't have that term in Spanish) so I had to look it up. Never paid attention to such detail, I'll keep it in mind for when rereading this chapter and the ones that follow. Thanks for the criticism.
As for what happened, that will be explained in due time, don't worry. :raritywink:

Glad to see I managed to keep you all intrigued by this chapter, next one will probably come out soon. :twilightsmile:

Ok I am loving this story, keep it up!

This is a really good story, and once again very well written. I am really enjoying things so far and looking forward to reading even more. Once again, it seems like you have a very well thought out and executed story that will be a very good read.

So unicorn Twilight stumbled through the mirror during the Royal Wedding? Interesting, I'll watch how this goes.

Well, seems the two equines in disguise have to start a rescue then, Cadance couldn't be found without Twilight landing in the caves, what means no Love ex Machina, so Chrysalis won.

Although only as long as you plan to follow this logical route in the very... end? Middle? Who knows. I always found it very confusing that many authors take the route of how Cadance and Shining still somehow manage to banish the Changelings for some reason, even though no Twilight meant no rescue.

But that's music of the distant future, now we have some Equestria Girls with what looks like a twist. :ajsmug: Sunset doesn't seem to be the selfish brat like her original version.

In the meantime, I have no plans to show what happens in Equestria, at least not in this story (Part of it has to do with me not being able to write ponies at all :facehoof: ) So I'll leave it to the reader's imagination, or to anyone who wants to write their own theories.

And yup, Sunset is nicer here. All I can say is: a lot of stuff can happen in 5 years :trixieshiftright:

this story is very good update soon curious where it goes

and hope you cover the stuff with sunset and how she got here and every thing

9047823
Thanks! And thanks for the watch too :raritywink:
I have the beginning of the next chapter already written, so I'll try finish and update as soon as my inspiration lets me :twilightblush:
By how she got here you mean the human world or Celestia's house? If its the former then I'll say it was the same way than in canon, the later is another story that will be covered in due time :trixieshiftright:

I'm glad you finally updated. Keep it up.

yay update but umm Celestia whacha doin

Always glad to read a new chapter of your story. Keep up the good work. :twilightsmile:

This chapter does read noticeably more fluently than the previous ones. Not that it was terrible beforehand. Certainly a hell of a lot better than I could ever write in Spanish (the ubiquity of the subjunctive mood just feels so unnatural to us Germanic types).

9190908
Oh, thank god! I tried to adapt everything as if it was originally written in English (like the last part of this chapter) and with the other chapters you can tell its a more literal translation :facehoof: I'll probably check them out and make a few fixes, so if you have any suggestions I'm all ears!
Btw, you write in Spanish too? :fluttershyouch:

9181369
9188429
Glad you liked it! Haven't got around to write the next one yet, but soon! :raritywink:

9191425
Oh gods, no. I speak Spanish like a mentally deficient toddler. Well, I’ve worked on enough construction sites in South Texas that I can curse with some fluency, albeit with terrible Northern Mexican grammar.

I’m just impressed by anyone who can master a second language well enough to write well enough to fool a native speaker. Especially this ridiculously sprawling mess of a language we have here.

9191569
Aahh! Well, if you like it I'd recommend you learn it.
Non-English speakers are kinda forced to learn English cuz it's a mandatory language if you want to interact with the rest of the world. But its great, Personally I really like it :twilightsmile:

Bonny work with this story as well. The premise is great, and the steady pace it takes through Twilight's experiences and thoughts makes it good and immersive. Wee character notes, like dwelling on how many colour shades occur in her bruises exactly, really bring it to life. A few hiccups with word choice and grammar in the first two chapters, but the third reads better and more fluently. Nicely done, and keep it up. :twilightsmile:

9218088
Thank you for your small critique, those are always welcome :raritywink: I'm glad so far you're enjoying the story, its taking me quite some effort to pull it together.
And the two previous chapters were translated before I started an English course. So yeah, I have to reread them and check for mistakes :twilightsheepish:

When Twilight found herself, again, falling into the reality of the dream world, she did it with an extra bit of certainty that maybe, after so many misfortunes, after so many cloudy days, finally some sun would come out.

the sun’ll come out tomorrow bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow there’ll be sun.

wait I was on time for an update seriously?!

A very strange and unique AU. I am intrigued and fascinated with how this is developing.

But the fact that it wasn't the opposite sex made her heart rate slow down enough to stop hearing it gallop over her ears.

This makes me (hypocritically) uncomfortable. Maybe that's the wrong word, I dunno. My brain is stupid and anxious and can only interpret this sentence in a single awful, familiar way. Guess I'll keep reading and find out if I'm right.

On a technical level, this story is a knockout. The writing is perfectly in-character for Twilight, who even in her deepest anxieties is unable to silence the analytical part of her mind. I see some calling it "purple prose," and I whole-heartedly disagree. Twilight uses big words. She thinks with big words. That's kinda her deal. Using so many big words isn't excessive exactly because it's Twilight's thoughts.

Yeah... I'm pretty sure I know what happened to her. The abrupt cut-offs in her thoughts, that familiar please don't touch me reaction, blaming herself for "enabling" someone to hurt her... I hope I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm not.

I really, really hope you continue this story. It's amazingly written and super engaging. Thank you for sharing it.

As always Thank you so much for your compliments :)

I honestly can't say a thing, just read your theories.

But! What I can tell is that chapter 4 is finished and will be published soon. I was waiting for a few days to go by before doing final edits and to my proofreader to, eh, well, read it. But since the latter might not happen I'll probably just take the risk. So this still lives!

10066820
Oh heck, I started reading this at a good time then. Looking forward to it!

You did a really great job showing just how on edge Twilight is, even when she knows she's perfectly safe. Knowing her anxiety and instincts are wrong doesn't make them any less oppressive, though.

Sunset with that slip of the tongue, leading to an oh, right moment. So I'm guessing Celestia hasn't told her why Twilight was in the hospital, covered with bruises and traumatized beyond belief. I wonder how she'll react when she finds out what happened...

I have an idea for what is happening in equestria.
talk to an author you know well and try to convince him to write this version of the story.
then EG is written by you and MLP and written by a good friend of yours.
  who discusses with you what can be the direction of the world without twinlight during the wedding and the other things.
perhaps in mlp trixie or starlight glimmer, they can pass for the protagonists while twinlight continues in the human world.

10072249
Thanks! I might have projected a lil' bit, huh
And yeah, I guess Sunset is trying to figure out stuff too :trixieshiftright: or maybe she has her own theories, who knows.

10072317
Eh, no, sorry. Not planning on doing that at all. There are a hundred stories that focus on what happens at Canterlot Wedding, and this one it's not one of them. That was only an event that brought Twilight to the human world, not the plot of the story per se.

10072380
hi remenber me? from fanfiction?

i just read bot of your stories, great work! buenisimo!

i hope tehe the half chapter you said you had ready is gonna to get published, and i thoug you said "twilight was not raped"... or she was?

10073318

sorry get confused by one fo the message you answered

umm and ofor last please make twilight and SCI get well i think twi just have enoght wiht her brother possibly death (after all if it where not for she chrysalis would have killed everyone in canterlot)

I like the cover art.

I only got 1 question on the first chapter where's spike???????

Okay I am tired of the 'Oh human Sunset is dead.' or 'There is not human Sunset.' trope. Be bold. DEAL WITH A HUMAN SUNSET. this avoiding this fact that there would a human Sunset has gotten very tiring and annoying.

10074383
I bet your parents don't let you have caffeinated soda.

10074758
no I am just frankly tired of this trope. very few a=have human Sunset

10074817
Try reading Double Trouble, although the human Sunset Shimmer doesn't play much of a part until later in the story (a later part that has yet to be reached :twilightsheepish:)

I can't wait for more. This is honestly one of the best stories on Fimfiction I've read yet. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Man, this seems pretty melancholy.

10072249

Yeah. Twilight is suffering from all kinds of traumas, on top of being in a different body.

Bonny work on this new chapter! Twilight's underlying anxiety and trauma come across vividly, as well as her ongoing struggle to come to terms with this strange new society. You've a knack for conveying a character's thought process and interiority, and it's put to excellent use here.

10118844 box rarity is wise

This is a great story, I really love how well you constructed Twilight, Celestia, and Sunset's characters, they stay true to their personalities really, really well.
