Casting Call for Fanfic Reading - Under A Luminous Sky
WisteriaProductions for Twilight Sparkle
This is the same Twilight Sparkle from the show, no big difference. The only thing of note is that this story was written with Seasons 1 & 2 Twilight in mind, so she's a bit more sarcastic and not as warm as she would become. "Twilight Snarkle" if you know what that means.
She is the lead of the story. She plays a heavy role in fifteen chapters of seventeen.
“Don’t you know anything about magical theory? Ugh, read a book. All magic leaves behind traces in the form of thaumatic radiation. In the case of passive magic, like an earth pony growing crops or pegasi flight, the radiation dissipates almost immediately. But active magic from unicorns can last for much longer.”
Context: Twilight is explaining some magical theory to Agent Bentgrass. Slightly annoyed, exasperated, with just a slight tinge of smugness.
“Why would I go to her memorial? I didn’t even know her! I think she checked out a book once, but that’s it! I barely remember talking to her. Besides, what would I say to her family? ‘Hi, I’m Twilight Sparkle. I found your daughter’s cor... body.’”
Context: Spike is confronting Twilight about not having left the library for days after finding the first victim's body in the forest. This is said in annoyance tinged with sadness after Spike mentioned she didn't go to the memorial service.
“I mean no! I’ve had enough of this! since you got here, you’ve been nothing but dishonest and sneaky! You broke into my library, you lied to the doctor about working with the sheriff, and you just lied to an entire bar full of ponies, while at the same time insulting their dear friend who just died! And then, you savagely beat a pony! I’ve had enough! I’m not helping you anymore until you start telling the truth!”
Context: Twilight just witnessed Agent Bentgrass do some ethically questionable stuff to get the information he was after, and she is dressing him down.
