Starswirl the Bearded is a legend, or so the history books say. A founder of multiple schools of magic, a creator of hundreds of incredible spells, and a scientist of unparalleled match, his name is spoken with reverence and awe across all of Equestria.

What the history books never mentioned, however, was his older brother Starswill and all of the troubles that he put the unfortunate genius through. And there's likely a very good reason for that.

This is their story

The most precious things we have in life are our memories. Our recollections of the good good times and happy moments spent with friends, family, and loved ones. To the average pony, there is nothing in the world more valuable.

To some others though, a happy memory can be more of a curse than a blessing. And they may do anything to rid themselves of that curse.

Edited by SilverScope.

Two worlds that were never meant to meet. Two ancient and powerful artifacts, separated by dimensions. Two princesses who need to defend their kingdom from an ancient evil thought to be sealed away.

One man, thrown in between it all by the cruel hand of fate.

(Not a self-insert)

Silver Quill's childhood crush was a simple, fleeting thing, although one that he didn't really understand. But when he finally meets the pony that interested him so many years ago, his normally calm and organized mind is thrown for a loop. Now he has to get his feelings under control and not make a complete fool of himself while trying his hardest to get rid of this cursed writers block that got him here in the first place. Easier said than done.
