Sunset Shimmer and Rainbow Dash have bills to pay, shitty retail jobs to work, classes to struggle through, scholarships to maintain, and a life bent on kicking them while they're down.

When faced with all this, it's pretty understandable that sometimes they just need to lay back, light up a joint, and vent about how much the world fucking sucks.

Rainbow Dash is the perfect girlfriend.

Sunset breaks up with her anyway.

Patreon. Ko-fi. Picture of me looking handsome.

The big game. All Sunset has to do is be the ringer and help Rainbow Dash win it. Easy.

But for all her athletic prowess, whatever seems to be bugging Rainbow Dash won't be solved just by kicking a ball around.

After what Sunset had done she never expected anyone to forgive her, but there was always someone willing to give her a second chance and accept her for what she was. Even before Twilight's friends bothered with her, there was one girl who Sunset could always rely on to be there.

After her little magic trick at the Fall Formal, Sunset Shimmer is not having the best night, and it's about to get worse: Principal Celestia just found out that Sunset has been living in the school clock tower. Now she has nowhere to live, and who's going to take in a teenager with personal issues that include recent demonic possession? No one normal, obviously.

But... maybe someone with a mohawk, a house full of creepy masks, and blue eyes that seem to see more than words -- or rhymes-- can say.
