Casketbase77 - Indisputably the best mood piece of this year’s batch of entries....This is neither a comfortable fic nor a feelgood fic.... Reflection is heavy on heartache, light on closure, and carried terrifically by Rarity's refusal to give up on a very troubled friend.

Since graduating from Canterlot High, Twilight Sparkle has started dating her formed vice-principal, Luna. Though they've been close now, they want to eventually take things to the next level. But for now, a lovely date at the beach will be fun for the two.

This is part of my 1K Challenge
Everyone is 18+ years old.

Be it ancient menace or new threat, diplomatic snafu or domestic concern, monster attack or friendship problem, Twilight Sparkle and her friends have always risen to the challenge.

That's a bit of an issue this time around, when the challenge is a marked absence of Twilight Sparkle.

From birth, Luna was a gifted unicorn.

So gifted, in fact, that Princess Sunset, the Solar Diarch, personally took notice of her abilities when she applied to attend Princess Sunset's school for the Gifted and Talented. When her pegasus sister, Celestia, hatches a phoenix egg, their entire life is changed.

Now, as Princess Sunset's personal students, the two sisters must figure out why sources of knowledge are disappearing, being stolen, or forcibly taken by dark shadows. Could the weird behaviours of the changelings explain the reason?

The one thing they do know is that something dark and powerful is plotting something in the shadows. And only they can stop this evil.

And why does Princess Sunset insist that the situation is nothing to worry about?

For clarification: Luna and Celestia are not princesses in this story, even if tagged as such. There is just simply no non-princess Luna and Celestia to be tagged.

Wastelands. Dystopias. Playgrounds for megalomaniacal villains. Each time Starlight forced her into a new world, it was just another variation of Tartarus that she was glad to leave behind and forget about. Unfortunately, thanks to over thirty timeline jumps, Starswirl's spell has gotten worn and frayed, forcing her to stop in this latest world to repair it. Fortunately, things seem relatively peaceful. Unfortunately, Twilight soon finds out the reason for that peace is...complicated.

The she-demon was laughed off as a hoax. The giant alicorn in the sky firing lasers was dismissed as a clever prank. Despite all the weirdness going on at Canterlot High, the scientific community at large has mostly ignored them, and that's suited the Rainbooms just fine.

Unfortunately, they've failed to account for one important outlier. Twilight Sparkle. The other Twilight Sparkle that is...

Ponyville Hospital is about to get a very important visitor. Why is she there, though? The full harrowing details are about to be revealed... Set just after Twilight's Kingdom.

Written for the Thousand Words Competition. After MANY edits, and LOTS of bellyaching... I finally got there in the end.

Nightmare Moon has noticed Twilight very busy lately, and with that, she has not paid so much attention to her. She has felt nothing but ignored by the unicorn. Fortunately, she has an idea for Twilight to pay attention to her.

In an alternative timeline, Nightmare Moon beats Princess Celestia and manages to make the night eternal. After a thousand years as a solo ruler of Equestria, she adopts Twilight Sparkle as her student after noticing the potential that the filly could have with her magic.

After a few years, after Twilight grew up to become an adult mare, Nightmare Moon decides to invite her student to have a tea with her.

When Twilight receives a letter from Princess Celestia asking her to come to the castle for something very important, Twilight is puzzled. What Princess Celestia and Luna have to tell her will change the Unicorn's life forever.
