Yet another Grim[[Dark Fic]] based off the world of ''[[My Little Pony:
Its sequel, '''''Reconnection''''', brings a [[Peggy Sue]]-style spin to the table: when an Element is tampered with and Its current bearer murdered, It can return that bearer to a point in the past, allowing them to relive their life... and, perhaps, [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]]. Unfortunately, they all arrive at different points of time, and Twilight still has Celestia's orders to follow... {{spoiler|and her own second chance to waste.}}

''Reconnection''{{'}}s page also includes its [[Alternate Ending]] and yet another sequel, ''Breaking the Circle''.
