Darkly Familiar

by Tyler-the-Brony
Twilight falls through the Mirror Pool, and a Darker Twilight takes her place, with dire consequences for the other Mane 6 and Spike.

In an attempt to more permanently seal off and stop the Mirror Pool, Twilight falls victim to a darker side of its powers. As the new voice within her starts to grow stronger, Twilight must fight to retake control of her own body, to save her closest friends from a dire fate. They won't know it's not her until it's too late. As she is, she's just too Familiar.

My first attempt at a GrimDark. Hope you enjoy it as best as a GrimDark of this scenario can be enjoyed. This story takes place in a universe where the scenario that ended with Twilight becoming Princess Twilight never happened. It follows the canon til about Season 3 Episode 12 if you want to be specific with details.
