Just a prompt to see if I can write these kinds of stories.
Depending whether or not this is well received, I'll write a sequel to save some dames!
When I mean they are anthro, with the tag, I mean they can walk on hind legs comfortably. That's it and all there is to it, nothing special.

In a world where Twilight Sparkle never became the Element of Magic, but instead one of the biggest Problem Sleuths in Canterlot, you are now PI Sparkle and you are currently locked inside of your office in Canterlot the week before your retirement.
=> Who is PI Sparkle?
PI Sparkle was a small time consultant detective in Canterlot. She helped the Canterlot Police Department with solving seemingly impossible cases by using her wit, magic, and keen eye to detail. PI Sparkle soon made a name for herself that shook even the most slippery and toughest of criminals alive. Very quickly, she had became Equestria's best Problem Sleuth.
Two years later, PI Sparkle plans to hang up the hat and coat to retire, move to a small town named Ponyville, and become the resident librarian.
But first, she really needs to escape her office in Canterlot.

Inspired by Problem Sleuth.

Rewritten with permission from Probable Sarcasm, who confirmed to me that he will no longer continue writing stories. This is an unofficial spin-off rewrite of the fanfiction of the fanfiction, please support the official story's release.

Dusk Shine was born a mare.
Actually, this is a lot more complicated than it was before so let me be careful with my wording here.
Dusk Shine was born a mare; one of the rare, non-royal blooded alicorns that doesn't go out and completely expresses herself like a normal pony would.
This unofficial, rewrite of the spin-off follows the brilliantly smart-mouthed Twilight Sparkle: an antisocial, awkward, non-royal alicorn, unromantic bookworm, and (unbeknownst to her,) a ten on a scale hottie.
All Twilight Sparkle wanted to do was read, relax, and prepare for the never ending apocalypse as the never ending night that Night-Terror Knight will bring.
Much like any character you'd enjoy in King of Thrones, Twilight Sparkle's wishes are killed off when she is forced to leave her home in Canterlot because Prince Solaris sold her home in a game of Texas Hold-Em. Now she must live in a smaller town, named Ponyville, to watch over the Summer Sun Celebration and to make friends.
Unfortunately for her, each of the stallions she was instructed to be acquainted (and everyone else) with ends up falling head over hooves for the new librarian in town with the Canterlis accent.
Is this some sick joke or is Twilight Sparkle really supposed to make friends when everyone in Ponyville keeps fighting for her favor?
(Now with 100% less clop scenes!)

You are Cobalt Fabric and Cobalt Fabric is the perfect pony.

Now this cannot be true, obviously, there is no such thing as perfection. However, you are the perfect pony in this faux reality free from logical thought.
In this faux reality, you are the smartest, the fastest, the strongest, and the most beloved pony in the world.
Blissfully ignorant no longer, you're becoming aware of your fallacies and the two realities you recognize - the one that you refused to accept and the one you created to escape the other.
We both know the reality you chose is fantasy, let's dwell into this twisted perspective until the perfect pony is forced to wake up to the world you refused to accept.
