Line 2:
The Elements of Harmony are meant to be a blessing. A force for the greater good. But [[What If]] one of the bearers decided that wasn't enough? [[What If]] they wanted more...?
Yet another Grim[[Dark Fic]] based off the world of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
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.}}

Line 28:
** ''Breaking the Circle'' sees {{spoiler|Twilight stuck in an endless loop of worlds for thousands of years, gradually working her way towards a Heel Realization and countless attempts at breaking the cycle by stopping Celestia before she finally ends up in a world where Celestia isn't evil}}.
* [[Elemental Embodiment]]: Each of the Elements of Harmony has one, most of which get to speak directly to their current bearers in ''Reconnection''.

* [[Hoist
* [[Ignored Epiphany]]: In ''Reconnection'', Twilight completly ignores the implications of {{spoiler|being reborn as anything but a second chance... to collect the elements without dying this time around}}.
* [[In Spite of a Nail]]: ''Reconnection'''s Epilogue reveals that {{spoiler|even with Twilight dead, the rest of the mane cast stays close friends}}. The very last scene also reveals that {{spoiler|Celestia and Luna end up battling on the same date they did in the prior timeline}}.
