When Rainbow Dash wakes up to a burning Ponyville, nothing is as it seems anymore. She is left with only pegasi that are equally confused, and must attempt to discover what brought Equestria to ashes.
But as time goes on, back, and around, similar tragedies start happening to her friends, affecting the elements of harmony they bear. Can they work out what is causing these tragedies with their different pasts and futures before there’s no turning back?
(Formerly begun as Nightmare and Pinkie's Phantasm, Runining Harmony revamps Nightmare into Dash's Dilusion and combines the two stories before continuing on with other events.)
A thank you to Ekevoo of Equestria Daily's study chat. It is because of him checking each chapter before release that grammer errors or other mistakes are caught before each chapter is live.
Sorry, due to an oversight, I didnt remember to add the tags to this story. That has been corrected now, so sorry that I forgot them.
logged on today to see at first, the story got trolled (another below it seems to have been too).
People, don't vote badly when a story is still only in its first chapter. This not only applies to mine, but to all stories that arent complete. At least see if the story gets better or worse first before voting as low as possible.
Oh, dear; poor Ditzy. Having her child go missing on her is bad enough but, if memory serves, what's going to happen next is going to be even worse.

Part of the rewrite on Nightmare was a changing of some events. I even added something I originally left out. In effect, it still is the same as it used to be, but Dash's Delusion extends the original, makes things a little more darker and more grim, and generally builds up events. (though it should be obvious some new additions were made by the fact Ditzy mentioned Dinky in the rewrite, where as in the old version, Dinky was never mentioned)
Oh, I wish RD hadn't said that; if I recall the original version, things did.
Ok, I tried to submit this to Equestria Daily, and their pre-readers replied. It was rejected, but only (apparently) as long as the simple sentences are kept. I'm going to get another editor to expand and touch up the story before continuing on, to meet the suggestions of the Equestria Daily pre-readers.
After four/five days in editing, chapter one has been updated slightly with just over 400 new words. Such touch up edits at the request of Equestria Daily's pre-readers are underway for chapter two and three, and should be up soon.
after a long delay, chapter four is finally here.
There will still be editing done to the first three chapters to fit the current feedback from Equestria Daily, but delaying the fourth chapter was not something I wanted to do any further.
Great chapter.
An edit is coming up soon to chapter one. Equestria Daily has pretty much forbidden 'Dash has a crash' stories, which means I have to change what takes place in the first chapter. I'll add another comment when the edit is up.
I removed the 'Dark' tag on the advice of my editor. He said that so far, there was nothing he considered really 'dark' about the story, and the tag was just pointless as a result.
Please let me know if you disagree with this.
Keeping up with the character tag changes, I've removed the tags for Spike and Princesses Celestia and Luna. While they appear in the story, they arent the main focus. The CMC tag remains for later chapters for now.
Also, debating with my editor on a story name change. Suggested change, if it will go ahead, will be done in a few chapters.
Looking over the plans for the rest of the story, the dark elements of the villain start to come in properly from Rarity's Reveire. Dont worry folks, we're not talking dark as in a certain infamous fic, but the villain isnt exactly all smiles and jumping over rainbows. So regardless of the return of the dark tag, dark elements arent the major focus, the adventure and tradegy tags are.
So in less than 24 hours, this story gained two new dislikes, yet no one left a comment to explain why. Explaining why would help immensely really...
3320601 dont worry about it, there are lots of trolls that dislike stories for no reason or they dont like the story idea so you did nothing wrong and dont feel as if you think your fics are bad, that feeling has shot down alot of amazing writers.
If Ulysses was voiced, what would he sound like? I gotta admit, "Ulysses" is NOT the kind of name you'd expect a My Little Pony villain would have. You get points for being original!

I imagine him as having a deep voice, sort of like Big Mac does, but more, well, city like than country. And it'd be filled with confidence and smugness because that's the attitude he has.
