I dont know how active you are anymore, but just wanted to say this was a beautifully written piece. I read it last night on a whim, and I just couldn't stop thinking about it throughout today.

So much thought. So many possibilities. As each one passed, the emotions would pile on higher and higher until the resolution. My favorite parts were how you used Jared-when I watched S2, i was rooting for Musa to date him or something since at that point Riven was still meh-and the "what if this never happened" option. (The Wizards would have come, eventually, but everyone's lives would still be easier.)

The main thing that bothered me was how these retrospective wishes would work, but I dont think even the show clarified that...

Also the open ended option was the right one. After all you wrote in the beginning, any wish Musa could make would have been a letdown. It also adds to the aura of mystery and intrigue that you built up in the beginning.

Incredible work! I loved the in-depth analysis and how realistic you painted not only Musa, but the rest of the Winx cast. You really made me feel for them!

As for the wish, I think Musa chose to have none of it happen at all. I think, in by wishing that, it solves nearly all of her other problems. Nabu never would have died, she never would have met Riven so she wouldn't have to worry about falling in love with him, and maybe her relationship with her parents (at least her father) would be different. but That's just my theory.

I really enjoyed this story, and I hope you continue to write more quality pieces in the future :)

Amazingly done. I remember wanting to know so bad after reading The Lady and The Tiger what was behind the door the princess guided him to. (Sadly, I was pretty sure it was the tiger)
Wonderful job on the character study of Musa, and I feel like she would've wished for none of it to have had happened.
Not because it was the last wish idea you presented, but because I feel like even by losing her friends, Musa would've wanted a happier life without all of the added complications being part of the Winx (despite loving them).
Now I'm imanging how their lives would've unfolded without meeting each other. Yikes. O_o

I'm actually gonna make her wish that Nabu never died not that he came back from the dead because then everything would be different.

Great story but terrible ending O_O
I really wish that Musa wished for Nabu!

Also, I'm so glad someone other than me noticed that she never used her wish (at least, on screen). I think the developers/writers have forgotten that, though.

I think she wished to stop having doubts about the past and/or past choices she's made.

Great story, i like the character analysis study you did

Maybe Musa's for a year of peace? No one trying to take over the universe, no one trying to steal the Dragon Flame-Fire-whatever, or any other find of power source. After six years of fighting evil, she and everyone else deserves that, but even then I would doubt Musa would wish for that. She's always dealt with whatever issues came her way.

Or maybe, Musa let herself be selfish for once and wished she attended Golden Auditorium like she's always wanted. Or that her years at Alfea weren't filled with fighting a new evil every school year, allowing her to still be friends with the girls and Specialist. How Aisha would fit into that world, I don't know.

This is everything I've always wanted in a character study of Musa.

Beautiful work! 3

That was fabulous! I love it!
But what was her wish?
I never really realized that Musa never used her wish. I think that it should be something for herself. She's been through so much already. But then again, I can see her using the wish to help others, because she has a really big heart.

This is so cool...I do wonder what is her wish though? Maybe it was to never exist?

Ohhh, that was sweet. You featured Riven, which was cool. I love the part with Musa and Layla (I follow the 4Kids dub) and how Musa comforted her friend. I believe she wished for herself to be happy. It fits, with everything that she's been through and everything that happened to her. Great story, ember. Here's hoping the next one arrives fast. :-)

This is really cool. I think what she wished for is that everything in the show doesn't exist.

Maybe she wished that the Winx didn't exist?
