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.

Like a leaf caught in the wind, Rainbow Dash drifts further away from her friends. She claims nothing is wrong, yet she brushes them off and ignores their texts every chance she gets. Desperate to reconnect with her best friend, Fluttershy takes matters into her own hands before Rainbow drifts away for good. However, in doing so, Fluttershy may learn that the situation is worse than she initially believed.

Twilight is awoken in the middle of the night by a cryptic text from her best friend; just what could Sunset want to talk about at 4 am?

I'm another face in the crowd. Please. Somepony. Say something. Tell me I'm good. Tell me I'm not stuck in the background. Tell me I matter.

My name is Melody Breeze and I just want somepony to tell me it's be going to be alright.

Sunset waited outside the assembly hall, gazing down at her hands. Her mind was going over the spell again and again, remembering what the Princess had said, so long ago.
Behind the doors she could hear, even feel, the rumble of conversations inside the large room. No doubt everyone there knew what they wanted to say and do to her.

When Sunset Shimmer realized that the real reason the school had acted as it had was because of her past actions—and her willingness to pretend they had never happened—she decided to put an end to the whole thing.
Anon-a-miss.
The past.
And the hurt she had caused others.

Sunset, ashamed of her relationship with Adagio, tries to hide it from her friends. Adagio then gives her an ultimatum: Tell them or she will. Join them as they try to navigate through the tricky journey of redemption, love, forgiveness, and who tops.

Wallflower Blush and Sunset Shimmer play a virtual reality game (designed by Twilight Sparkle, of course). Airborne swashbuckling ensues. But journeying across a virtual world can still bring forth very real emotions.

It’s been a long time since the Battle of the Bands, and a lot has changed for Aria. One of the bigger changes has been Sunset Shimmer. The two of them were never supposed to happen, but they somehow still did.

Not that it matters. Nothing good ever lasts, not for Aria Blaze.

This story is a sequel to Principal Celestia Hunts the Undead

“Look, I know Mom and Aunt Luna said I shouldn’t work ‘the business’ without them. And I know they’re right – college will be hard enough without battling the hungry dead. But people out there need a bad-ass monster hunter to save them, and that’s what I’ll be.”

“Just don’t tell Mom. You know how she gets.”

(Slice-of-life adventures of Canterlot College's rookie band of monster hunters.)

Five years ago, Sunset Shimmer left the world of CHS, hoping that bringing back all traces of Equestrain magic will end the rogue magic affecting the world.

But lately, despite being happily involved with the Applejack of Equestria, she’s been feeling a little... off.
