Sunset Shimmer, invited by Twilight to an Equestrian Hearth's Warming party, finds herself back in the world she'd left long ago. Surrounded by familiar strangers and without a gift to give, she quickly becomes alienated from the other guests.
Except for one.
Written for Nyronus in the 2018 Jinglemas.
Now part of the Endings collection.
Two of my favorite ponies, thanks for delivering!
Such magnificent cover art! I must read this story.
Oh my.
Well, that was nice and sweet.
An unusual character interaction, delivered with aplomb. A lovely read.
Having gone through lasik surgery I can confirm there are few moment more disconcerting than suddenly losing sight in one of your eyes. Even if given warning.
Fun fact. The Prince was apparently written as something of a resume.
At least Sunset wasn't besides herself over meeting Discord.
Thanks to everyone for responding! I hope you enjoyed the story, and sorry I haven't responded as soon as I should have. Grad school takes a lot of a person, I tell you h'wat.

That was the sensation I was going for. Based on everybody's responses, it seems I was successful.

Yeah, it's weird enough when you go blind temporarily in both eyes, but only losing sight in one seems to be more disorienting. As for The Prince, I'd heard a lot of conflicting explanations for why Machiavelli wrote it, which is why Twilight asks Luna if he was being serious when he wrote it or if it was just satire.

A well written story and a very good read.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
She only said that because you scared her discord.
I'm sorry what!
And is not a good way to introduce yourself to someone. Especially you with your chaos magic.
You sure were a good help twice right there princess Luna.
