Fanfiction-like works of original literature. Stories or novels bordering between being works of original literature and fanfiction of other literature.

Etymology: A double entendre for one of its prime examples, the novel series Twilight, criticized as being an original work of fiction with fanfiction-like refereces to pre-existing works most notably from Anne Rice.
I read this twilit book of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Queen of the Damned. It had a Buffy vampire character trying to slay other vampires to help those not infected

twilighting 

That phase of being 1/2 awake & 1/2 asleep; or being so into something that you're completely unaware of your surroundings.
Lots of days I am twilighting & it's an amazing wonderful mystical feeling!

Twilighting 

Overreacting to a somewhat overwhelming situation for the person twilighting, but for others, the situation isn’t that bad. The person tends to overthink, overplan, and hyperventilate.
Friend: Uh, hey, are you doing alright?
Twilighter: Hehe, yeah! I’m doing alright! Just need 7,432 things to do before the big event happens- OH WHO AM I KIDDING I AM NOT OKAY THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO BY TOMORROW!
Friend: Wow, you are twilighting hard.

Vanilla Twilight 

It's a song, you sex-obsessed idiots! A perfectly innocent Owl City song about a guy who misses his girlfriend (or perhaps even a platonic friend, it isn't clear). Stop trying to turn it into something dirty.

When he uses the term, "Vanilla Twilight", he is literally talking about the color of the sky:
I'll find repose in new ways
Though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone
But drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist deep in thought because when
I think of you I don't feel so alone
