This is a follow-up to Cold in Gardez's How We Burn (1,505 words, [Slice of Life][Thriller])

HOW WE SPOIL: Starlight and Twilight secure an ancient magical book that wants to be read. As the alicorns contemplate its destruction, Luna reveals that the soul of the author lies within. Starlight steps forward and offers to redeem the soul sealed within those pages.

“But maybe he can change too. Maybe that’s why he came back.”

Celestia fixed her student with the most firm gaze possible. "Twilight Sparkle," she stated in a voice that brooked no disobedience, "you may have grown from my student into a princess of your own, but this is beyond your powers. Even Luna and myself can not—"

"Luna and I," said Twilight almost automatically. Celestia did not seem upset at all about being interrupted, but the faintest ghost of a smile came over her stern expression.

"Perhaps I am wrong," she said. "To change, he will need more than a princess. He will need... an editor."

Twilight Sparkle swallowed, then produced a red pencil. "I believe I can do this, Princess. Let me try, at least."
