What makes a victim and what makes a villain?

After their defeat at the Battle of the Bands, the Dazzlings retreat into self-confinement to lick their wounds whilst they reassess their entire strange and fated lives from their beginnings in Equestria, up to the present. However, learning how to cope with the world and each other—living an immortal life in a powerless body—might just be more than any of them can bear.

Lines are blurred in this dark, historical, novelesque sirens origin story of innocence lost, heartache, betrayal, hope, and of course, beautiful music.

When Sonata Dusk walks into Sugarcube Corner during Pinkie Pie's shift on a Friday afternoon, it seems like a normal, routine event like with any other customer.

When Sonata comes back the next week - and the next - and Pinkie eventually asks her out - it's more fun than the colour pink or warm caramel-fudge swirl.

Neither has any idea what they've gotten themselves into.

This is a minorly-altered canon (but probably not entirely alternate universe) fic in which Pinkie and Sonata meet two weeks after the Fall Formal and five months before the Battle of the Bands. Some artistic liberties with the Rainbow Rocks movie have been taken, but with caution to keep close to the original plot, and so this story is rife with movie SPOILERS for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

A special shout out to my dear girlfriend Cynthia for not only providing some BEAUTIFUL cover art for this fic, but also for reading along and providing moral support as I wrote, and to Monochromatic for helping me through the process of publishing to FiMFic for the first time!

Rainbow Dash receives a love letter from a secret admirer, and isn’t quite sure how to take it. What kind of pony sends stuff like this? Why can’t they just tell her to her face?
Thunderlane, meanwhile, isn’t sure starting this game was the smartest of ideas.

The (extremely short) original version of the story, which became the first chapter of this one, was written for The Writeoff Association's January 2015 contest, "All In"

Time Turner and Dash have been going pretty steady, so It's time for him to ask her something important.

...Assuming he doesn't chicken out.

In times long past, there was, the Apple Family Pie. Nopony knew why, but this delectable delicacy had no equal in terms of texture, appearance, or taste. However with all treasures, there is always a thief ready to steal them. The Apple Family haven't been able to sell as many pies as they used too during events, ho-downs, or parties due to a troublesome series of thefts. The culprit? A wily, tricky, and guile savvy pony. His name....Woolie.

Big Machintosh and Fluttershy begin a companionship during the first day of their high school lives and try keep each other sane in a school that had already labeled them as outcasts for being overtly shy, among other things. As the year progressed, this companionship eventually changed into something more.

But both lives are instantly changed forever when Big Mac investigates a rumor about his new 'friend'.

Sometimes you have to laugh, so you don't have to cry. Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich may have more in common than they thought, including Ponyacci, the greatest clown in all of Equestria. But when Pinkie Sense and Cheesy Sense combine, it sends them on a journey to throw the worst party of their lives.

Reunions can either be the most wonderful event or a mixed blessing.

For Fleetfoot, it might be the latter.

While on an assignment at the nameless village Starlight Glimmer once oversaw, Fleetfoot encounters her twin sister, Night Glider. While she hopes to reconnect with her, Night Glider is less than enthusiastic at these turn of events. However, Fleetfoot yearns to heal old wounds and bring her closer together with her sister.

Naturally, it won't be simple.

Thanks to Mr Ghostman for pre-reading this story.

In the ruins of the Castle of the Two Sisters, Sweetie Belle comes into contact with a powerful artifact that gives her the promise of great power. What will she do with it? And what consequences might come with it? The days grow darker and strange things start to happen to her and her friends.

Something ominous lies on the horizon. With Sweetie's new found strength, does she have what it takes to face the oncoming peril to her home?

This story is a sequel to Sex On A Desk

Keeping what had transpired in Sex On A Desk as a secret between the two rivals, the story continues several weeks after the Sonic Rainbooms' crushing victory over the Dazzlings at the Battle of the Bands, with an emotionally ambivalent Sunset Shimmer uncertain on what to feel about her brief and yet heated affair with the Dazzling’s lead singer, Adagio Dazzle, who has yet to return to school.

((Although not essential, it is preferable to read the prequel.))
