New Year's Shipping Challenge: Twilight Sparkle x Future Twilight

I am the Author.

You already know the outcome of Twilight Sparkle’s misadventures with time travel.

Of how she didn’t let her future self deliver her message;

Of how she mobilised Ponyville’s residents to “disaster-proof” the town;

Of how she almost descended into a state of madness as she tried to monitor everything;

And how she finally sought answers from the texts of Starswirl, only to realise that the whole debacle was her own fault, and her subsequent failure to inform her past self of her folly.

But what if?

What if this time, in this time stream, some of the events unfolded differently?

The differences may initially seem minute, but they shall lead to grand changes, changes that nopony may have expected.

Continue on, now, and you may learn about these changes yourself…
