I'm debating on just replacing the third act of the story with the new one or just add it on as a bonus chapter. It's almost done, just needing a final touch and then some editing. Being the night before Christmas, I doubt I'll be able to get it up as promised. However, it is almost done and is four times longer than the last part of the story, right around 2,000 words or so.
I do apologize, but when it goes live, I do hope it lives up to expectations.
Have a wonderful Christmas!

One thing that kinda bugged me about it was the whole time travel thing.
It just felt odd, but I rationalized it as Discord being so pissed off about Fluttershy that he flipped the table when it looked like John might escape his punishment, and to hell with everyone else.
The pony that blew up the cure being Starlight Glimmer never occurred to me, and I just can't figure out why she would arrive tere and then, if John was the only difference in the timestream, and canon events up to season 3 happened...I just can't see it.

4354173 The time travel part was what happened at the end of Season 5, when Twilight chased Starlight through the timeline. I figured this deviation would be a nice nod to the finale.
