Dust and Harmony is a familiar story re-imagined in a western world called Dust.

Celestia had a niece once, not an adopted niece like Cadance, an actual biological niece, the daughter of Princess Luna. Sadly when Luna became Nightmare Moon her daughter took her mothers side and led the their forces against Celestia.

Princess Twilight was killed during that battle, or so history tells us...

This story is a sequel to Fading Moonlight

Thousands of years after Luna's sacrifice to Tirek, Celestia and Twilight are the only two remaining in Equestria. But even they are destined to die, as the end of the world nears. Shortly before the last day of their lives comes to an end, they reminisce about their most memorable experiences in Equestria, and recall the events of the night Luna died. Soon after, an emotional farewell takes place.

Rated Teen for literally the slightest death reference ever (and the fact that it's kind of the point of this story).

Understanding of Fading Moonlight is not necessary unless you want to know how Luna died.

Also, Twilight's 5 friends, Spike, and Luna only appear in the epilogue.

When Celestia is weakened following the wrath of Tirek, Luna goes to extreme measures to save her from further torment. She'd do anything to protect her sister, even if it meant giving her own life.

Rated Teen for what I'd consider a reference to suicide (self-sacrifice), and, of course, death.

Equestria is a land of magic and harmony, a peaceful realm ruled by immortal and benevolent monarchs. At what cost is this possible?

Following the discovery of a strange and powerful device, Twilight Sparkle is whisked away to the edges of a land she thought she knew so well. Here, surrounded by ponies whose very existences have been kept secret, she must contend with vicious enemies, hostile allies, and the truth.

Chapters 1-16 edited by KiltedKey

Twilight did her duty. She saved everypony she could, except herself. Now trapped by an evil cult, in more pain than she has even been in before, and dying on a sacrificial altar, she calls for help. The Nightmare answers.

Will Twilight become the next evil to threaten the world or will the Nightmare simply be glad to have some freedom? One thing is for certain, Twilight's life will never be the same again.
