Line #9 FanFic/TwilightRevised


1	''Twilight, Revised'' is a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' DarkFic by Vimbert the Unimpressive. It is an AlternateUniverseFic that takes place as the Mane Six confront Nightmare Moon. But Nightmare Moon casts a spell on Twilight that makes her see Princess Celestia instead.
2
3	In a world which she sees from a distorted perspective, all Twilight Sparkle can do is cling to the one pony she knows will never let her down: her teacher, the princess... no matter which princess her addled brain tells her that is. Twilight's used to rewriting letters, but when she's the one being rewritten, she finds the sensation to be altogether different.

8	!!This Fan Fic provides examples of:
9	%%* TheBadGuyWins
10	* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Arguably for Twilight, considering she has the real Celestia for company. For the rest of the world, not so much]].
11	* BoldInflation: Twilight puts a lot of emphasis on '''Her'''. The ''exact'' amount depends on her mental state.
12	%%* {{Brainwashed}}
13	* BrainwashResidue: Twilight struggles with this when she briefly shakes off control.
14	* CoversAlwaysLie: Probably a deliberate invocation of this trope, the cover art is a cute, pastel-colored picture of a lovestruck Twilight happily skipping after Princess Celestia, making it look like some kind of romance story. The real story is ''much'' darker.
15	%%* CrapsackWorld: What Equestria becomes under the rule of Nightmare Moon.
16	%%* DarkFic
17	* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:The story ends with Twilight's banishment to the Sun]].
18	* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Twilight crosses into this frame of mind by the story's end]].
19	* TheDragon: Twilight to Nightmare Moon, unwittingly.
20	* TheDreaded: [[spoiler:Eventually, Twilight's betrayal makes ponies fear her almost as much as her mistress]].
21	* DudeWheresMyRespect: Twilight has a particularly sniveling sort of reaction at first when she doesn't win much approval from Nightmare Moon.
22	* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: [[spoiler:It's made abundantly clear that the ponies have no hope of surviving TheNightThatNeverEnds]].
23	** [[spoiler:At the end, viewing the sunlit side of the planet from her solar prison, Twilight absently notes how dry it looks]].

25	%%* FakeMemories: These are all part of the package Twilight gets.
26	* GainaxEnding: [[spoiler: In the last chapter, Twilight suddenly manifests the Element of Magic, blasts Nightmare Moon out a window, then either dies, is possessed, or is exiled to the Sun with Princess Celestia. Almost none of this is explained]].
27	* HappinessInSlavery: Twilight Sparkle is this to "Princess Celestia" (actually Nightmare Moon) until the end of Chapter 3, where she finds out the truth. But until that point, while Twilight constantly says she is not worthy to be her "Celestia's" student, she's willing to stand by her side and even begins to think of herself as "Celestia's" pet.
28	* HopeSpot: Several. The most explicit example is [[spoiler:near the end, when Twilight actually severely injures Nightmare Moon in combat]].
