Trapped in a future where Twilight--now known as Andromeda--has turned into an uncaring, emotionless dark-magic wielding empress, Rarity sometimes contemplates just... you know... accelerating her trip to the heavens, so to speak.
On one such time, she's surprised to find it's Andromeda of all ponies who makes her change her mind.
Takes place in an AU by Maximasmac (a brief explanation of the AU is inside the story). Artwork is also by Maxima and depicts Andromeda.

For those interested, there's a sequel already out on my personal website!
I'm really enjoying this story and its sequel, and would love to read more about this universe.
Thank you Mono!

Why not put it on this site?
That's some good melancholy.

Mono has gone over this more than once, so I’m not sure how you’ve managed to miss it. However, to make sure you can’t miss it this time, here’s a link to an explanation Mono posted a while back.
…I was not expecting to love absolutely everything about this premise, but I did and I'm glad that I did. Stellar execution of the concept in both this and its sequel - nicely done!
I'm in love with this AU!!

Thank you <3 I loved the AU when Maxi told me about it, so I was delighted to be able to expand on it c: Regarding doing more for the universe, the sequel was a commission, so I'm quietly hoping someone will commission a third one so I can work on this while not feeling like I'm avoiding my other main fics lmao

It will be here, eventually! I post all my stories on my website first, and then post a select few here on Fimfiction a few weeks after they've been out on my main website.
I may have to borrow that cover art for a story of my own. I saw it an inspiration struck hard. You don't mind do you? You'll get credit for the inspiration and I'll point folks in your direction.
Just read it and... yeah. This is good. I kind of want more of this universe. You should explore it more, give Andromeda more to do. I imagine things like Discord, Tirek, Ahuizotl and maybe even the "real Grogar" still exist in this world. Even the Storm King. I picture Andromeda being more... mid-series Twilight than series end Twilight. Not as confident in her own magic and certainly not that confident in the "magic of friendship".

Hello!
Sorry, I can't give permission for that because the art belongs to Maximasmac and is a depiction of Andromeda they made a while ago. If you'd like to use it, you would have to ask them directly for their permission.

I tried but Twitter hates me and wouldn't send the message. The feeling is mutual... Twitter...
Very good story, but i still think there must be sequel, because Twi just start "unfreez" from her condition.
11563319
I hope there is a sequel to this.
11563290
Is there going to be a sequel to this or is it already in the workl?
This just feels like the in medias res peek of a much larger, more devastating tale.
11563454 11563319
There's one already done and posted on my personal website for now. Here it is!

Is it going to be posted onto here or fimfiction in the future?
Everyone is interested in the sequel.
I want a prequel. Or better yet, an entire novel out of this.
11563863
yep!
11564008
i want you to know i want this very badly too but i cant keep putting off my other main fic lmao........ maybe one day......
11564033
Well than in that case I’ll kept an eye out for it when you post it
Wow. I'm surprised and impressed at how poignant this felt.
I wasn't expecting to feel such a yearning emptiness from so few words.
Very efficient, very well done.
11563623
Right?
And worst of all, most devastating of all?
It gave me hope...
That picture seems to fit your story very well. Interested in the backstory or possible sequel?
11564381
that picture is of Andromeda actually! My friend who came up with the AU is an artist so they had a bunch of art for it done
Somehow you never fail to make me cry
That was so extremely good and it left me in tears. 10/10 as always Mono
It's like they were waging some sort of mental battle, who can bypass the others defenses and reach the vulnerable core.
Rarity's defenses faltered first... but she got the deeper hit. She woke something in Andromeda, even if it's just the start of an "I know you're still in there." battle, she made Andromeda question herself.
Very Good story. The sequel Graveyard is even better. Any other story planned on this universe?
This is impeccable writing, especially after reading the sequel. I'm glad I found this story.
Going on a positive rampage over this AU and the art with it. OOOHHUGBBFHJ Your writing is absolute chef kiss
Best AU
