  Summary

  Princess Twilight Sparkle wanted to put down her crown and just be Twilight.
  Many issues have been plaguing her reign, and she has found herself at the center of a broken world. Celestia and Luna had told Twilight she was ready to lead Equestria, but what if they were wrong? Now Twilight wonders if she can ever fix the kingdom that has been torn apart.

  Fortunately, with her friends by her side to help her journey back to the Equestria she loved, Twilight's reign as ruler will help the world heal.

  Summary

  A character study of Irving from the television show Severance, as he falls in love with Burt. Other characters are briefly featured in the story, but it is mostly focused on the two of them. This is VERY self-indulgent and full of internal monologues. It is NOT canon-compliant, but involves a happy(yet angsty) ending for ALL characters!

  I hope you enjoy it. I wanted to make a contribution to this ship's fan fictions because there are so few of them! Thank you for reading, and please let me know what you think!

  Title is from Ocean Vuong's On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous. Fantastic book, truly. I recommend it.

  NOW PART OF A SERIES---Decided to add more!
