Sunset's favorite jacket is looking pretty beaten up after that whole rainbow laser explosion, and she doesn't know the first thing about fixing leather. Obviously she knows someone who could help her, someone who's already agreed to be her friend. But after everything she's done, she doesn't really think she's in a position to be asking favors. She hasn't earned anyone's friendship yet, and she certainly doesn't deserve anyone's help. Still, she's got no other options. So she'll just have to swallow her pride and beg Rarity to take some pity on her.
Rarity certainly has her work cut out explaining to her how friendship works.

Set after Equestria Girls, but before Rainbow Rocks. No shipping. Just awkward, self-loathing Sunset and generous, understanding Rarity.

While relaxing after a performance, the Rainbooms discover Sunset has scars that she definitely didn't have before the Fall Formal.

   First, though, she finds out a fundamental truth: there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

Idea suggested by the estimable Baron Engel, based loosely on real events.

  After Sunset Shimmer brings Sci-Twi’s strange magic-absorbing amulet back to Equestria, Princess Twilight Sparkle has a brilliant idea. If they combine the amulet and the magic of the portal, the two of them could hop between worlds at the push of a button!
  Who better to test out this fantastic new technology than two of the greatest minds in all of Equestria?
  They probably should have calibrated it first.

This story is a sequel to Dream Girls

On their last night in Las Pegasus, Scout Charger, Sunset Shimmer and Applejack shared a very special night. But what sounds like a great idea in the evening doesn’t always hold true in the morning. Mistakes have been made and now somebody has to clean up the mess.

Scout has to deal with conflicting emotions and memories. He can’t be certain what happened, why it happened and what it meant. On top of it, the girls he is sure to have slept with don’t seem all too eager to talk about it.

Applejack is caught between a rock and a hard place. She knows she wouldn’t have done it if she didn’t want it, but she also wouldn’t have done it without the alcohol affecting her. Some may call it old fashioned while others call it traditional, but either way, she was raised in the firm believe that this isn’t how a girl should behave.

Sunset however is caught up in a mess she simply doesn’t understand. She has picked up a few of the social norms since she entered this world, but she was still raised in Equestria. Back in the land of magical ponies what she and AJ did wouldn’t be a problem. But in the world of bipedal monkeys it is quite the issue.

Before you (hopefully) start reading this one I'd like to point out that the Sex tag is mainly for the fact that sex is being mentioned. There is no sexy time in this story, if you are here for that I have to disappoint you.

Furthermore, this is a direct sequel to Dream Girls, I therefore highly recommend you read that so you can make heads and tails of this one. If you aren't comfortable with sex I still recommend to read Dream girls, though in this case the last chapter should be enough to help you understand the starting situation of this story.

With that I leave you to the story, have fun.

Sunset Shimmer, while still Celestia's personal student, learns that there's some places you don't want to go, but love will make you do strange things. That and time paradoxes and magic storms.
(Sequel short story about Brandywine: Prance

This story is written to be standalone. Minor tag [SciFi] for Time Travel. This novel appeared as an Equestria Daily fan fiction Sunset Day - Fanfic Submissions! post for Sunset Shimmer Day Sept 22rd, 2016.

For those who are interested, the story explains what took place between the events in Celestia and the Battle for Sunset and The Enforcer and Her Blackmailers. If you read those two stories first, your fun will be doubled!

2/3 Added Starlight Glimmer tag for a supporting role. 2/25 Added Princess Celestia tag for a supporting role. 3/3 Added Timberwolf tag for obvious reasons. 3/26 Added Lord Tirek for S2 episode tie-in. 4/1 Switched out the Celestia and Timberwolves tag for Twilight and Fluttershy in the final chapters, because... read the story.

A big shoutout to Docintra my prereader. Thank you!
Thank you Novel-Idea for editing the anonymously posted image (click source mouse-over on image) I used as a cover into a real SF pulp fiction style cover!

"All those who asks for greater authority certainly does not deserve to have it."

That's a lesson Sunset Shimmer never wanted to learn nor accept. And it was the key point of her downfall, but perhaps all she needed is to learn it somewhere else.

This story features a Sunset Shimmer still blinded by her own ego, still bent on her reckless folly, still angry at Celestia and her teachings. But there might be still hope for her, if not in Equestria then maybe in another world

This story is a sequel to Sunsplit

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