A collection of short stories ranging from the random shenanigans of displaced predators from an entirely different land, to familial bonding lessons. Some of them are going to be very short, some a fair bit longer, most of them are going to be standalone.

Rated teen because they are all adults, and there will be swearing. Mostly from Aria. I may end up upping it because I have a hard time imagining Adagio staying PG-13 for very long. Currently set in the human world, but one or two of them may end up going to Equestria proper later. I'll add tags as I need to or am recommended to.

I've never posted any of my writing before anywhere, so please feel free to let me know how to improve. Politely, please dear god politely.

This story is a sequel to Dappled Shores

(Prequel is not required reading)

Sunset just wanted a haysadilla. Everything got worse from there.

Talent is a lot like ice cream. On the surface, it's hard to tell how long it'll be before it'll all melt and dribble all over your hand, but the part that sinks to the bottom of the cone is still-

Wait, wrong metaphor. Whatever.

Sonata Dusk has talents of her own, things Aria and Adagio couldn't do to save their lives, and she's going to prove it! With a brilliant plan backed up by her special skills, her old enemies won't know what hit them!

With Adagio home sick, Aria and Sonata find themselves competing for a cash prize at the Sisterhood Social. They might have had a chance too, if they had known the event was hosted by one of the girls who ruined their lives.

Twilight invites Sunset Shimmer and Rainbow Dash to witness the first test of her science project, a Single Human Independent Transport.

There’s no way this could end badly.

Written for the First FimFiction Feghoot Festival.

Once again, Flash Sentry walked into Twilight Sparkle. However, this time, she was a different Twilight than the one to whom he was accustomed. Sadly, no one thought to tell him that. Now he needs to make it up to this Twilight... assuming he can find her.

And get her to listen to him.

And just how does all of this work, exactly?

(Note: Sunset also makes a significant appearance, but I hit the character tag cap.)

Sunset Shimmer's life has been on the up and up. She turned from her past, made new friends, and is now passing the magic of friendship to others, including this world's Twilight Sparkle.

Which is why, of course, this is all just a mistake. Things got a little out of hand, but it's over now. So now they can just move past this. Why, it'll be a funny story to tell in a few months.

Now has a spiritual sister story in So You've Just Seduced Your Best Friend. For more details on that, check here.

This story is a sequel to Tally Marks

Sunset wouldn't say she's been lying to her friends. She wouldn't say she's been hiding anything from them. She just hasn't been ready to tell them about her depression. It has never felt like the right time. Or place. She doesn't have the right words. The right tone.

But she doesn't want to keep facing this alone. So she tells the one person, or pony rather, she is ready to: Princess Twilight Sparkle.

Not long after the girls saved Camp Everfree and embraced their newfound magical abilities, Sunset Shimmer starts acting strangely. She jumps every time her friends get even remotely close to her and she keeps everyone at a distance. This is especially worrying to Twilight Sparkle, who seeks how to make her best friend feel better.

-Equestria Girls Four Spoilers abound.
-Inspired by a bit of sunny picspam I discovered.

Losing her friends was the start of a self-destructive spiral for Sunset Shimmer. Convinced that she will never escape the echoes of her past, she tries to take her own life.

The attempt leaves her severely injured and she falls unconscious. In her dreams, she is visited by Princess Luna. They have much to discuss, whether Sunset likes it or not.
