Twilight finds a strange book on her doorstep, with no idea where it came from or what it is about; she reads it. The more she read, the more she loses sight of who she is as she slowly gain an amount of knowledge she never thought possible.

While days go by, her friends try to reason with her. Can friendship defeat lust for infinite power?

Sunset Shimmer and Princess Twilight Sparkle have both been plagued by odd dreams. Romantic escapades and tender moments between ponies they don't recognize that all end in tragedy.

Together, they investigate this phenomena, aware of the growing tug their hearts have for one another. The answers they find, however, may threaten to tear them apart.

"...okay, ow. My head hurts. I wonder how long I've been--oh, who are you?"

"Hey, you used to be Celestia's student, right? Did you know Sunset Shimmer?"

This story is a sequel to The Runaway Bodyguard

(See chapter list. New content having to do with notice below.)

There is a REMASTERED version. Please read that instead of this (the original published) version if you just finished the prequel.

Starlight Glimmer's past and future collide in Canterlot a few years before the 1000th Summer Sun Celebration. Still bruised by the loss of Sunburst, runaway Starlight Glimmer tries to forget her recent past at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns but the crimes of that past and Celestia's original protégé, Sunset Shimmer, make that difficult. What happens will change Equestria forever.

Prequel published 3/19/21. Sunset Shimmer Goes to Hell is a sequel (mostly) to this novel from Sunset Shimmer's point of view. The Forgiving Lesson is a sequel to The Crystalling and this novel.

Season 6 Spoilers!

Ah, Snowfall Frost, a misguided pony that nearly ended Hearth's Warming for all of time. Her fable is a lesson to ponies everywhere about appreciating the holidays.

And she doesn't look like Starlight Glimmer one bit. Nope. Not at all.

...Starlight Glimmer isn't too happy when she learns Twilight is basing Snowfall's character off of her.

Do you need a cupcake that’s to die for and suitable for gatherings? Then look no further than this devilishly decadent dark chocolate and oat cupcake with wickedly, irresistibly sweet frosting. One bite and your party will never eat anything else again.

Bored out of his chimeric skull, and unable to just cause random chaos as he used to, Discord does the other thing he does best...After trolling...and annoying folks...

I'm talking about finding loopholes, he found a loophole, and now not only can he cause chaos, big and small, but he get's paid to do it!

Business is Booming

I like my job, but of course I look forward to coming home at the end of the day. Especially lately. We have a daughter now. We actually have a daughter. And I can’t wait to see her.

Thanks to Horizon, for the Versebreaker 'Verse. Though Celestia Hates Us All is a stand-alone, I highly recommend the other Versebreaker stories.
Thanks also to two very different geniuses: Mary Shelley and Tony Iommi.
