Who will save Canterlot High from Sunset Shimmer's cruelty? Sometimes the antihero you need isn't the hero you expect. (This story REALLY IS kind of a dark sci-fi romance/shipping short, just like the tags say.)
Sunset Shimmer and Sonata Dusk have been living together for a while now. But hard times will test the strength and depth of their friendship, and their lives will be changed, forever. Written for Changing Seasons shipping contest.
Sonata has never really experienced Christmas, and this might be her first time. What makes it even better is... She is spending this Christmas with Sunset Shimmer.
Sunset Shimmer and Sonata Dusk live happily together, bonded by experience and united in love. But an unexpected visit from the Equestrian Discord, and a mysterious journal entry from Twilight Sparkle send them on a journey back to Equestria
When Twilight arrives breathless through the portal to hand Sunset and Sonata a small, wooden box, the two find themselves facing their worst fears: All of their deepest feelings out on display.
Sunset Shimmer is concerned about Senior Prom, while her friends merely brush off her concerns. Soon enough, though, she'll find an even bigger problem to face: a problem of friendship, or maybe something even more.
When Sunset Shimmer hears strange sounds outside her apartment, she finds an old enemy who seems down on her luck. Can Sunset Shimmer help Sonata Dusk to cope with her life as a normal teenage girl?
Although many prefer solitude in their darkest times, meeting someone who'll go through those struggles with them is what they truly need. Sunset Shimmer runs into an evicted Sonata Dusk. Story's after Rainbow Rocks but before Friendship Games.
