Set in the continuity of Tailor of the Crown, though if you haven't read it, all you need to know is that Rarity took a job to work as a tailor in Canterlot Castle.

Avoiding social entanglements at Canterlot galas can be quite a tricky business for Rarity.

Luckily, Rarity has a very beautiful alicorn princess to help with that.

For a princess, there's no greater honor than holding dominion over a celestial body, and now Twilight is given the opportunity to make her mark upon the night sky.

If only somepony had taught her how to do it.

*Story takes place close to the end of Season 6
*Teen Rated for tongue-in-cheek teasing and less-than-conventional relationships. Suggestive, but nothing explicit shown.
*Features a romance, but more of the budding kind than characters chasing. Between: Luna and Twilight
*Editing Help and Advice during the writing from Sweet Sensei ClanCrusher

*Edit: While the story and premise has aged with the series finale. I hope readers can still find pleasure in the themes written.

[Please read notes at the bottom before reading]

It had been almost a year after Sunset's fall at the Fall Formal, and most everyone had moved on. Sunset simmered down, as did the tension at Canterlot High.

However, sometimes an odd joke about her old self will pop up. And lately she's discovered a whole new reason to hate the term "she-demon."

[Slight AU; Fall Formal happened after two years not 3.5, so EG would have been junior year, and this takes place in senior year. Also: Transgender themes and 'special snowflake' things ahead. If you don't like these then, please, just don't read this.]

Sunset Shimmer's life has been on the up and up. She turned from her past, made new friends, and is now passing the magic of friendship to others, including this world's Twilight Sparkle.

Which is why, of course, this is all just a mistake. Things got a little out of hand, but it's over now. So now they can just move past this. Why, it'll be a funny story to tell in a few months.

Now has a spiritual sister story in So You've Just Seduced Your Best Friend. For more details on that, check here.

In the single most important night of her life, Rainbow Dash decides she wants to swoop Rarity off her hooves by taking her to the bar, getting cozy, and doing everything she could to impress the unicorn.

In other words, somehow accidentally ordering chocolate milk at a bar, served in the single most embarrassing glass ever.

Sunset Shimmer is having the worst day of her life. She used to be important. She was the personal student of Princess Celestia. She was a future leader of Equestria. She was the kind of mare that everypony envied.

Today, it's all crashing down around her.

Alternate Universe: What if Sunset Shimmer hadn't gone through the mirror?

As part of her search for somepony to assist her with legal matters, Twilight spends most of her time interviewing potential candidates. When this results in her neglecting her friends, Rarity decides to take matters into her own hooves.

By which she means getting a job interview with Twilight and acting as unprofessionally as possible.

I regret nothing.

Written after my friend The-Chibster asked me to 'RariTwi' this wonderful comic by Accordingtodevin. Cover art was done by my partner in raritwi crime, ArcticWaters.

The Royal Ceremonial Headdress takes ages to fix up. Just ages. Plenty of time to chat about love, and time, and those big steel cups they serve alongside your milkshake.

Now with a Spanish translation by Spaniard Kiwi!

Fundraisers at the Pet Center always came bundled with all kinds of emotions for Fluttershy. She knew all her little animal friends needed homes, but she couldn’t deny she was also quite sad to see them go.

Thankfully, Pinkie Pie was there to help.

Though the battle was not long, that didn't mean that Celestia didn't still feel the wounds of her sister's betrayal. But as she walked from the ruins of the castle, fires spread from the torches knocked over and magic that had been expended, thoughts came to her about what happened that night. And her doubt started to shift inside her wondering if her sister was truly to blame...
