It'll be a trilogy. The Winter Solstice is gonna be a major turning point in pony history, even if Duskfall doesn't know it yet. I want to cover at least some of what that means.
Next chapter is live, btw.
Discord can sense magical shifts, or something along those lines; why didn't Fluttershy summon him?
Did Celestia know about Twilight using this space?
...That's practically what I wrote, back on the funeral chapter...huh.
This is meant to be "relaxing"? Casual murder?
...Dusk didn't visit the Rainbow Factory 'verse, did she?
Kinky. Kind of reminds me of Fluttershy's Stocks...probably the best weird idea Dusk came up with, this chapter - not that there's much competition.
You've got ready access to a dragon, though - no need to "find" one. Except this one is a bit small for what you've got in mind...
Funny how I just mentioned the caribou, and now "make the princess a sex slave" is part of this story. I swear I'm not psychic!

Discord was with Moon Dancer at the time, doing his best to keep the Chaos Realm whipped into shape so Moon Dancer could enjoy her vacation.
The Attic was Twilight and Raven's little secret.
10365781
Duskfall's very loose thread of logic goes something like "I'm even less than an object to be used. Everyone hates me, so everyone should enjoy 'punishing' me."
10365781
Lucario does learn psychic
But seriously, I've only heard of the caribou in passing as some terrible evil. WTF do caribou have to do with Duskfall thinking about being Celestia's sex slave?
Yeah, Duskfall is thinking more along the lines of being swallowed whole and melting in stomach acid, but if Spike asked, I'm sure she wouldn't mind letting him nibble on her.
The worst thing is snuff isn't even one of my kinks. The closest I usually get are Alucard and Rottytops.

Fall of Equestria fics (which are often never completed, unfortunately) feature a caribou invasion, where upon conquering the Crystal Empire and Canterlot, turn all mares into public-use sex toys using caribou magic. Disobedient ones get tortured and broken (the means of which aren't consistent between stories), while some mares do surrender from the outset.
Female submission/objectification is a central part of caribou culture, and by dominating Equestria, the caribou impose this culture onto the ponies.
The princesses often become the caribou King's (often named King Dainn's) personal fuck-toys, though, instead of being open-use. Except for Cadence - she's Shining Armour's mindless bitch.
im pretty sure history is already different the moment the changelings become pony's allies even before Thorax found his way to Crystal Empire.. But holy crap.. i can legit see pure despair on Duskfall's face in that 2nd to last paragraph
pm1.narvii.com/6174/ec8f9db48207fc221717829d50b3b7a8784eef0d_hq.jpg kinda like this

OK... I really hope I made it clear that Duskfall is currently experiencing the mother of psychotic episodes and her current thoughts and opinions are in no way healthy... Maybe I should also make a note in next chapter that she's also half male, psychologically speaking? Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, I wonder if the conflicting masculine and feminine mentalities she received from Tom and Twilight played any kind of role in this breakdown?
Just in case I missed it, since when are your AUs alicorns immortal and respawn like in "The Many deaths of Twilight Sparkle"?
Regarding the chapter it's a really interesting view into her Depression/Insanity (I don't know the proper terms) and I really hope we get a longer look, not just a resolution in 1 or 2 chapters.
10365797
Who is that? She looks like a Dangaronpa character, but I don't recognize her. Also, yeah, that's a very good representation of what Duskfall looked like at the end. Not a Lesson Zero level expression, just a calm, cool accepting of the conclusions her insanity has led her to.
10365808
She is.. her name is Monoca . She's from the Despair girls game [the one where you play as Naegi's sister to shoot monokuma robots with a modified loudspeaker]

PS: Ashita no zetsubō! Michi no zetsubō! Omoide no zetsubō sho!

I've mentioned it briefly in Adventure's Call when Cabelleron offhandedly wonders if Alicorns are 'as immortal as legends suggest'.
I never intended for it to be more than a throwaway line about how Alicorns are super sturdy. Luna did survive on the moon for a thousand years and I'm sure there's been more than one assassination attempt on the princesses.
Basically the idea I'm using here is that, so long as an Alicorn is tied to the source of their power, they can reform or, in the case of total incineration or something equally destructive, entirely replace their physical bodies. So even if Duskfall were to be tossed into a meat grinder, she'd eventually pull herself back together. If she jumped into a volcano, once her body had completely melted/turned to ash, she'd eventually reform on the lip of the volcano. Duskfall is either an Alicorn of Magic, Darkness, Insanity, or a combination of the three. How she handles this bout of insanity will play a major role in deciding which power she draws from going forward. In any event, all three of those powers suffuse all of Creation.
So there won't be a pile of Duskfall corpses to play around with. Sorry if that's your jam.
I am strongly considering writing a companion piece to this story chronicling Duskfall's journey through insanity. In this story, my current plan is for the Doctor to drop Duskfall off on an Equuis colony world at the fringes of civilized space about 100,000 years or so in the future and letting her burn herself out for a few centuries on a largely lawless world. It would certainly be interesting to keep up with what Duskfall is doing during that time, if I can manage to keep myself from committing not alive while writing it.
I'd rather not do it in this story itself because I would basically be murdering the pacing.
10365821
Maybe I'm just being stupid and tired, but I have no idea what you're saying here.
10365831
its Junko's line from the game/anime "Despair of tomorrow! Despair of the unknown! Despair for your memories!" is the translation
10365811
The one Danganronpa game I know nothing about. Even tho I bought it on Steam, after I learned about the plot twist at the end, it kinda killed my desire to play any Danganronpa games.
10365833
I should know that. Yeah, I'm definitely being extra dumb and extra tired.
Wow that was heavy. I guess Dusk fooled everyone into thinking she was adjusting to being her own pony, where in reality she was getting worse. Like this feeling of shame and sadness for a character who effectively drove herself over the deep end, and we had to watch it happen. I am not triggered, at least I don't think I am. It is just something I thought i was ready for, but after feeling it showed me I had a lot to learn.
10365844
One of the more tragic parts of this whole thing is that if it wasn't for what happened with Starlight and Twilight's Cutie Mark, Duskfall would've been able to make it to the Winter Solstice where she would've met someone who would've seen through her bullshit and gotten her the help she needed before she jumped off the deep end like this.
Even after she eventually comes down from this bout of insanity, she'll be right back to her old tricks for another month until the Winter Solstice finally arrived. She'll have to play her cards more carefully, but as she stated in the end of this chapter, there's really no one with the power to stop her more than temporarily.
Duskfall is not OK. She will not get better. At least, not without some serious help that Equuis can't provide. However, she will do everything in her power to convince you otherwise until she can preform that ritual on the Winter Solstice. Then, no matter what happens, she plans to fully self-destruct. If she can't get Tom and Twilight back, every shred of her sanity will go up in flames and there'll be no going back. If she does get them back, that means she no longer exists and it isn't a problem anymore. That will be Duskfall's thought process going forward.
Word can't describe, but this chapter is making me realize of how lucky the majority of us (including me) for not having to carry the emotional burned like Duskfall or it's IRL equivalent. It's truly is something and I just wish you be well soon after writing this chapter.
10365829
Thank you for the very detailed explanation! It just reminded me of the aforementioned story ^^
The Idea of a spinoff where Duskfall can live out her insanity could really be an interesting side-story.
Looking forward to it
This goes to show the importance of listening
Ah the shattered mind finally walks the path of human madness. I've had suicidal thoughts and my sister tried to kill herself a few times.
I'm fairly certain I have minor clinical depression but well these thoughts are not so strange to me... I never act on them and I haven't dived as deep as Dusk has, but I've definitely had a few breakdowns.
Once I actually sung Bullet by Hollywood undead really happly then realized I was spiraling... now I wait for lyra-bon and the gang to pull Dusk from that quiet dark place in her mind.
Welp G. Fucking. G. Hope ya seriously can feel better mate because this reminds me of much awfulness.
10365914
As next chapter will show, Celestia and The Doctor basically kidnap Duskfall almost immediately after the end of this chapter. The Doctor will explain why he felt it needful to spirit Duskfall away from her friends and loved ones.
10365855
I get the feeling that Tom Twi, AND Dusk will be present in the next book from what you've been letting on... and am both excited and worried.
Sigh, it seems that the mask had fallen... I just wonder... Did Dusk try to get drunk to forget or maybe use drugs? Or that failed thanks to the Alicorn body?
I wonder Discord reaction if he see Dusk like that, while he like madness I don't think that is the type of madness he could like.
10365968
Dusk has been singing to try and vent her pain enough to get by. It wasn't enough. Also, yes, drugs and alcohol had little to no effect due to her Alicorn physiology.
Discord would have definitely been horrified to see the look in Duskfall's eyes. Maybe it is for the best he never gets the chance to see it. The stories he will hear of Duskfall's breakdown will haunt him enough as it is.
10365960
You should be

10365975
With the Bloodborne dream thing and my darksouls addiction I'm worried because Dusk may just start her own Dream to escape. Or find some way to light her soul to accomplish her goals. And only Tom and mabe Twi would have any idea of the gravity of that situation....

As mentioned in the Hearths Warming episode with the Christmas Carol, powerful spells cannot be done without someone taking note. Someone important is certainly going to take note during the Winter Solstice ritual. That someone will also appoint Duskfall what amounts to a babysitter, so she won't go too out of control. At least, not outside the spin-off piece I have planned.
very hard chapter i was wondering when she was going to try
This was a really heavy and dark chapter. I hope you're doing alright.
It is unfortunate that this story changed to mature, at least for people like me. I always leave mature off since I don't feel like navigating through the porn stories and I'd rather not see the thumbnail art that people use. The problem is that mature stories don't show up in the tracking bookshelf even though they are being tracked. It will be hard to know when new chapters come out.
... is it bad that i was not only able to read that with a mostly straight face, but chuckle slightly at some parts?
10366154
You either laugh at tragedy or cry at everything. *Shrug*
10366093
Book 3 will almost certainly return to T. So if you want, you can wait a couple of weeks for me to finish Shattered Souls and when you get notified of Book 3 you can read the rest of Shattered Souls
I can understand keeping M off. A good deal of it is bad porn, but I personally like keeping an eye open for Dark Thrillers and heavy psychological stuff.
10366231
I'll still do my best to keep up with this story as it updates. It may just take me a few days to flip on the mature switch to check if a new chapter is out. What helps is that the number next to the Tracking bookshelf includes mature stories, even if it doesn't show them. Can't wait to see what happens next and I hope Duskfall can pull herself together!
I also brought the issue up in the Fimfiction Discord. Maybe the feature to show mature stories only in bookshelves will be added?
This hit close to home.
10366401
I didn't intend for that. (Truthfully I didn't intend for it to go down like this at all) So I'm sorry if this broght up bad memories or something.
10366341
Why that isn't already an option, the world may never know.
10366455
No, it is a reminder that I'm still here after I got help. Feeling like this pops up from time to time because no medicine can truly fix all our problems. But there is always someone that can help, even if it's just to vent to. The suicide hotline is the best tool when you feel there is no where else to go.
National Suicide Prevention Hotline: 1-800-273-8255
Yeesh that was dark. I'm fearing for her life now after that chapter and her sanity. Yes I agree you NEED a break after this chapter. I hope this isn't going to be the next mini arc because if it is i'm going to be crying by the end and wanting to jump in the story just to comfort the poor mare and go overprotective big brother on her so much it'll make Shining Armor blush in shame. PLZ take a break and relax.
10366513
I'm too much of a coward to commit not alive. I've survived 15 years of these dark whispers and I'll survive until my natural time comes and I can take up this BS with the Man Himself.
10366529
You're not a coward, cowardice is giving in. Deep down, something drives you to keep going and that thing is something to hold onto. I don't want you to go anywhere because you make my life and so many others on here feel better by reading your fiction. I wait with anticipation for the next chapter, and will do so till you are ready to write it.
10366519
Oh, don't worry. This isn't the next mini arc. Duskfall's insanity is getting its own full side story tenatively titled The Road to Healing. The regular story will resume chapter after next.
Pinkie ain't got shit on me! I'm gonna pour as much of my sickness into the side story and maybe I'll find some measure of healing too. HAHAAHAAHAHAH Dank memes
10366542
The sad thing is I've already completed next chapter. I got my usual 2 hours of sleep, plopped down to read some fluffy rom-com manga on my desktop and wound up with the completed chapter an hour later. I keep pulling this shit and I never learn. I can feel my mental heath screaming in agony yet I type like a man possessed. Bleg, at least my suffering is worth good storytelling. Some people like me wind up in rubber rooms and have no one to entertain but the walls and the rare attendant.
Probably gonna hold the chapter for a few days anyway. Maybe that'll cool my jets for a bit? Of course, when I say 'probably' like a reasonable human being, I mean I'll be awake at 3:30 in the morning and post just because I don't like witholding content like tye weak willed pos I am.
Well written chapter
Read all the below comments and damn. I'm sorry to hear that. How about you give yourself a day off from online. Finally sleep and ignore your family. Relax, get some 'you' time.
