Tag Note - the use of the "Romance Tag" is used in this situation not in the traditional Ship-fic style. It is 'Romance' in a very dark, gothic sense. The use of the "Alternitive Universe" tag is to denote that these events wildly diverge from established MLP Canon. Specifically, all events in this part and the previous part diverge from after the events of "Games Ponies Play"
