Twilight Sparkle awakens one night and immediately knows that something is wrong. She can't put her finger on what, but there's something off; everything feels different than before, like a small, imperceptible detail that she can't quite focus on, and yet can't ignore. Soon discovering that she isn't the only one affected by this change, whatever it is, she sets out to discover what is going on and just how she can stop it, and to restore Equestria to its normal and natural state.

A commission for DualReason set midway through Season 4, when alicorn Twilight and the Golden Oaks Library existed simultaneously. Now isn't that a blast from the past? Cover art by Chrysalisdraws on Derpibooru.
