When the rebellious and power-hungry Sunset Shimmer steps through Canterlot's magic mirror, she enters a world that is more... unforgiving than the EQG-verse we are used to. One completely devoid of magic.
Very quickly, she is humbled by force, and eventually finds herself living on the streets, begging for scraps from unkind strangers, just as winter is around the corner.
That is, until she meets Anon.

Please tell me there's more I need it.
Anon gets laid for his trouble, right? I'd never go this far out of my way for a female unless there was reliable nookie in it.
So sweet. Good job Anon.
Oh my stars. I remember reading it in /mlp/ back in the day. Great to finally see it here!

Glad someone recognizes this one. Happy you're here and seeing it again.
No spoilers.
Anon being a good bro. Love him
This is an interesting take on Sunset's story: her discovering how cushy her Equestrian life is by entering a world where there is no magic to ensure balance.
This is a good story so far. Normally stories involving Anon usually have him being a total ass, this is one of the few stories where he's at least an amenable person.
Nice
You go Anon. Help out that poor lost pony girl.
The all you can eat, never ending pancake plate is a complete lie. I went to an IHOP to get something to eat as I hadn't eaten in about 2 days(crazy bills and whatnot had killed my food budget) and so I ordered the all-you-can-eat never ending pancake plate. For those of you who are big eaters like me, you can probably understand. I was on my 7th plate of the never ending pancake plate when the manager came out and told me if I get another plate, they were going to have to charge me for another order. Ina fit of anger and disgust, I told him what he could do with his mother in not-so-nice words, intentionally dropped the plate on the floor, called the BBB and the Chamber of Commerce to formally file a complaint while I was walking to the cashier, threw the money on the counter and stormed out without even bothering to get a receipt and my change and I've never been back to another IHOP again. That was about 15 years ago.
As long as they don't do anything while she still depends on him (no viable alternative plan), OK.
Whoa! That's crazy! Can't wait until you get the next part out.
What does he mean by that?
So, this isn’t the eqg world, right?
Does she have the same skin color as she does in eqg?
How long has she been in the world?
Is this sunset before or after she was reformed?
Good to know
What did she say?
Are you going to offer her some eggs too?
We all have that small part of our brain.
Do they still hurt?
Ooooo!
Sunset's digestive system is likely different than the average human since she's a originally a horned equine so maybe that's why she's able to Goku-style eat all them flapjacks?
If I was sunset, I would be worried.
I think this story may need a comedy tag.
She never noticed him calling her that?
Seems like she didn’t need to get blasted by a rainbow to see the error of her ways.
Sunset has officially been reformed.

It seems as if Sunset wanted Anon to keep her warm.
Hmm... The tragedy tag is ominous...
Just to be clear, is it going to end badly as the tag is supposed to imply?
Kinda glad we didn't get stuck in romance-land too long: I'm allergic. This has piqued my interest for sure.
Without a bowl of eggs it's not the same...
And now we wait.
10555763
Maybe
Too much 4chan
Something tells me it wasn’t nothin’.
Ok, so she’s not 100% reformed.
I get that she hasn't washed for a while, but why cat piss? Where did that come from?
Why didn't she tell him about the princess?
Did this happen before or after she got to the other world?
Sh*t, if she was that happy about Batman she should watch Black Panther. Also, I honestly thought the fire was sunset having a nightmare.
...M I the only one that finds it wierd that they never thought on taking a shower before putting on some clean clothes?
Aw, things were looking so much better for Sunset and now both she and Anon go down horribly...
Edit: Should've noticed the Tragedy tag up there and known it wouldn't end well. So I won't downvote, there was fair warning, I just overlooked it.
Nice
T'was a long time since I read anything eqg related, but this seems promising. I'm looking forward to read on tomorrow, when it's not 1 AM in the night!
How long ago did he invent it?
Sounds like someone familiar.
Applejack is in this world, too?
I thought they were just gonna rent a room?
Is she saying there’s another reason?
Can't wait for the next chapter
Oh!
Great choice of music for that scene
Damn, shots fired.
The Pegasus probably heard that all the way in Equestria.
Wait, really?
I thought she was already next to the window.
Does that really happen?
So, they’re not in high school anymore?
I thought he hated it there.
F*cking finally
I’m surprised the others didn’t notice how long they were gone.
I can’t wait to meet the others.
That's precious
10554584
Wait I recognize that name...
I coulda sworn you were exiled
I love how, even at the end of her rope, Sunset is capable of aggravting people.
While she normally shouldn't be doing that, it is power that can be used for good.
And Pinkie is as hilariously off-kilter as in canon.
10556283
I was gonna ask that too.
So, fluttershy is two places at once?
Why are her cheeks rosy?
I don’t see the problem.
Almost everyone?
The Apples’ aren’t wealthy, are they?
10558029
I have a suspicion but I don't want to give or get those kinds of overtones if that's not what was intended because it's clearly meant as a tragic heartwarming then heartbreaking story first.
Now I fell stopied
Part of her life?
I WILL KICK ALL YOU ASS AS SNAKE
Does that mean this story should have a sex tag?
WHY!?! F*CKING WHY!?!
Is she about to go back to her old ways?
That’s not the only reason.
I don’t think that’s a good idea.
She’s gonna find out sooner or later.
Nvm, she already told them.
