A Shadow of Myself

by Halira
Ever feel you aren't living up to your potential? Charlotte knows that feeling. She lives with an alternate future version of herself who is one of the greatest unicorn mages ever.

Charlotte Portsmith is a human sixty years displaced from her own time, living with an alternate unicorn version of herself. She has always felt like the pale imitation of the original, unable to perform the simplest magic and forced to watch her counterpart be hailed as one of the great mages of her age.

However, her magic has been growing lately and is now doing things no one or nopony has ever seen before, and she is about to be pulled into a massive omniverse she never knew existed. All her favorite toys from when she was younger represent real universes, but none of them are exactly like the tv shows she knew.

This is a drama with some adventure elements. It is a slow build.

This AU uses the Pandemic Universe AU for its starting base, but is not canon with that universe.
