Sunset didn't have much to her name, outside of her academics.
It comes as quite a shock when she finds herself seemingly the target of prophesy, centered around a town called Ponyville.
And so, she rides a train to Ponyville, and dreams of Nightmares.
Part 0 of the DuskOverDawn AU, in which Twilight is Sunset's senior of a few years.

This story is just one of the many stops on the Monorail! The event's theme is "trains". For a full list of content, click HERE! This is the 6th stop, but be sure to check out the others!
The previous stop was Pleasant Company by Lingo.
You're more than welcome to write your own addition, the only requirement is rail transport as a major plot element or location. Have fun!
This is an interesting start to the journey. Sunset already knowing Celestia wants her to face Nightmare Moon, and incorporating her tendency to break into libraries, were good touches. I liked how you handled the flashbacks, and you did well characterizing everyone in this short story. At this point, it's still hard to tell what the real differences will be between how Sunset and Twilight handle things, but hopefully we'll see.

Well Sunset is probably going to react more with depression than panic--
Oh fuck you, brain.
Fascinating glimpse of an alternate path. I do love this Twilight acting as a supportive older-sister figure, and there’s an enticing amount of uncertainty over whether Sunset can pull this off. I hope you expand on this.

Unfortunately, like most things I've attempted to write, I have been unable to find the right blocks to Jenga stack, and the plot thread collapses if i try to think any further. Unlike most, I published this one.
I keep feeling like I'd end up retreading some of MagnetBolt's Witch of the Everfree series, and i am also uninterested in retreading canon.
Very interesting stuff. hope your muse strikes again sometime. n_n
