Time, as it turns out, is indeed finite. There is a certain point where, against all logic, everything ends. Of course, that's not something most will witness.
Twilight however, has been waiting a very long time to see it, and maybe something more.

Ohhh! I think I'm the first to comment... Yay! I like this story a LOT. It's the hopeful side of the bigbang/bigcrunch/ entropy problem. Thanks!
So Twilight is a god now. She survived the end of her first universe and now gets to start all over again in the new one.
I always wondered what it'd be like for an immortal being to experience the death and rebirth of the universe, then become the god of a brand new civilization.
This story sorta reminds me of the early days of FiM. When Twilight’s non-alicorn mortality was often compared to the lifespans of people like Spike, Celestia, and Luna.
Of course, this is going in the opposite direction but it has that same tender melancholy yet hopefulness. Take my fav.
At least, now that she is back in G1, she can find Spike, and finally write that letter.
Previous stories read in similar, Tau Zero, Chronicles of Narnia, a short story from golden age SciFi about the guy who prooved the universe was vreated through music by playing the song,
Ah.
And the last episde of G4. The LAst Problem.
Isaac Azimov, the Last Question.
How can the total entropy of the universe be restored?
And Omnivac said.
Let there be light.
That story was so deep. Good work!

How is Twilight back in G1? Or maybe I missed something.

Sorry, just gotta roll me eyes: Really? Someone actually did read Tau Zero? Damn, but that truly does take me so far back!
Yeah, gonna agree that this short tale was quite nice. However, I sorta doubt that the new Equis is a return to G1. Doesn't have that vibe. Still, your idea may indeed have merit, since the now world was not entirely described beyond the interaction of Twilight and the new ponies.
Oh, and it was Nathan Brazil who spoke thus: "Let there be Light!"
I can hear Aslan laughing in the background....
Damn, this was beautiful.

see the fic 'equestria from dust' for more or less exactly that.

Funnily enough, I've been toying around with the "Twilight at the end of the Universe" idea for a long time, but I never really enjoyed the way it panned out. The idea was too somber with just Twilight witnessing the end of everything, so I decided go in a more hopeful direction; and ultimately I'm far happier with how it came out.
Better than what I was expecting.
The 71/0 up/down count speaks for itself.
Isn't this how Galactus was born?
So Twilight managed to pull off the same thing as the Pathfinder goddess of birth, death and fate, Pharasma?
Such a beautiful and sad story with a hopeful ending. You used words to paint a picture in my mind perfectly.
so evolution produced ponies again.. with exactly the same language and everything... it's not very believable to me. It's like the story doesn't want to acknowledge death, that things change. I admit that "end of universe" stories are pointlessly depressing, but my impression here is of a cop out
maybe this was too harsh, but whenever someone mentions entropy I start paying extra attention
(p.s. the big crunch and heat death are different things!)
So there's a primordial force recreating the universe every time it dies? Its a interesting concept, but in reality, how long would Twilights psyche last against seeing everything she knew and loved die over and over?
Or is the fact that she doesn't have wings mean she was turned back into a normal unicorn rather than an eternal alicorn? Is she still the element of magic? Do the elements still exist just waiting for new bearers.
I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!

It’s in a world where magic exist and acts semi sentient. Harmony was just probably dormant or something and recreated ponies.

Well, that's all really debatable! Who is to say, that the universe couldn't be remade the exact same way as previously? We can only speculate, as to what happens after the Big Crunch, or the Heat Death of the universe! For all we know, everything could just be one massive cycle! It is just as likely as your hypothesis!
Fascinating thing, the universe, isn't it?
