Every alicorn has a mirror, meant to hold her if she ever turns upon Equestria in rage and bitterness. She will be safe inside, comforted by the familiar.

Twilight has come to Canterlot to update her own personal prison. While she's there, an old friend wishes to meet her for the very first time.

Written for Everfree Northwest's 2015 PreCon Contest.

Traveling back to Equestria for summer vacation seemed like the best idea ever. However Sunset Shimmer's home brings back memories and thoughts that haven't surfaced since her reformation. Forgiveness is never easy especially when it comes to forgiving oneself. That coupled with a deadly changeling plot against Princess Twilight has Sunset running in circles to protect her friends and figure herself out.

Summer Sunset Chapter 1 Animation Test

Proof Read/edited by: 1DATMLP

Sunset Shimmer has a crush on Twilight, and invites to the human world for Valentine's Day. However, Flash Sentry manages to ask Twilight on a date before Sunset gets the chance.

I know Valentine's Day has already passed, but here it is. Better late than never!

Poor Twilight Sparkle... she never realized how foolish Celestia was...

It's the third day moonrise in Canterlot High.
Sunset Shimmer has all of the power, but still hasn't gotten a clue. She steps through the portal to Equestria, thinking she's got it all figured out, but quickly finds out that's not the case.

Lyra has always asked Twilight for assistance on her human research project much to Twilight's chagrin. All evidence points that humans do not exist in Equestria but Twilight doesn't tell Lyra that she has a magic portal that leads to another world that suggest otherwise.

One day, Lyra finds the Crystal Mirror in the new castle library, the same one Twilight uses to meet her friends at Canterlot High. Once Lyra finds a way to open the portal, she discovers a whole new world beyond her imagination. After realizing what Lyra has done, now Twilight in her horror and disbelief must bring Lyra back before anything bad happens.

This is my submission for the "The Most Dangerous Game 2 Contest", and my first attempt at writing a fanfiction or story ever.

In the space of two days, Princess Twilight Sparkle completely overthrew Sunset Shimmer's dominance as the queen of Canterlot High. That Sunset's rule of several years folded quickly to a culturally-ignorant person of another species entirely is suspect, along with her decision to invade Equestria, and her immediate redemption at the hands of the Elements.

What if all this inconsistency was deliberate, to hide Sunset's real master plan?

NOT Rainbow Rocks compliant.

On a fateful night in a world far away from her, Princess Celestia mourns the idea that her two most beloved students are fighting. One battles for her friends and home while the other opposes, seeking her own selfish desires. When only one of them returns home, Celestia knows the worst has come to pass.

Still, hope lingers in the darkness. Sunset did return—but not as anyone remembers her.

Can Celestia, given a second chance to do things right, give Sunset the chance she never had?

Submission for the More Most Dangerous Game contest under the prompt of Past Sins.

Massive thanks to Cerulean Voice, vren55 and The Albinocorn for editing and prereading! Without them, this story may not have happened.

Sunset and Twilight happen to enjoy the same cartoon: Steven Universe. Still, they need to discuss a really big matter: their different OTPs with the same character. How terrifying. Once again, Sunset had to admit it was a really important matter.

PLEASE, don’t take this seriously. This was a request by the amazing IJAB, check his art out! And I hope you like it, man! Also: Bickering over ships is… not cool. Let people like what they like.
Edited by Exterminate Regenerate, thanks for dealing with my craziness.

This story is a sequel to She Took my Hand and Said...

After the night of the great Fall Formal, Sunset Shimmer dates Twilight and she decides to do what she promised weeks before: taking her to a date, their first official one. It was going to be perfect! But something is bothering Twilight, something in the corners of her mind. And her knight in leather jacket was there for her.
