After many years away from Equestria, Sunset Shimmer decides it's time to go back and get things right with Princess Celestia. Even uncertain of how the princess would react to her, Sunset goes to meet her hoping Celestia has forgiven her as well as her friends, however, what she does not expect is that things are not so simple between her and her former teacher.

Edit 12.17.2021: I've realized that the previous title was a little too long, so I changed from Who we really are? (or just another Sunset Shimmer background story) to simply Who we really are?

This story is a sequel to Of Wolves and Rainbows

It's been three weeks since Octavia and Vinyl officially moved to Ponyville, and two weeks since Geralt Jameson took over the Ponyville Dojo.

Life in Ponyville is nice.

Geralt has taken on Rainbow Dash as his first student, though she's still somewhat bitter about her defeat. Guilmon is convinced that Geralt and Rainbow are Partners, whatever that means. Geralt also now has a job harvesting apples for Applejack when he's not training Rainbow.

Vinyl has gotten a job DJing at a club not far from the Ponyville train station. A job which she loves. Vinyl and Geralt alos are taking slow steps into something resembling a relationship. Despite their bravado and constant teasing, the pair are actually quite nervous about the very idea of a relationship.

Coriander, Saffron, and Alex moved down from Canterlot and opened up a restaurant across the street from Sugarcube corner. Business hasn't been better for the two ponies and the Akita.

This leaves Octavia. A cellist of some renown. She's played for weddings, social functions, and the occasional quartet concert. However, despite her contacts and the praise she's earned, she's had nothing for weeks. Money is no problem, she has more than enough saved. Though this leaves the mare feeling somewhat listless.

She simply... exists... Feeling aimless.

There is a part of her that hoped that Ponyville would be able to help her with this. However, not much has changed. Days consist of an hour of cello practice and..... not much else.

Today Octavia plans to go out, to actually do something for once.

This is a good idea. However there's one small problem....

It's Tuesday.

GodDamn! That long Description!

This fell into place while I was walking. I hope you enjoy.

Tags: Profanity for **********, and violence for Tuesdays.

Sunset Shimmer did many things in her life she wasn't proud of. Things that made her feel ashamed of her past and herself. She helped fight off the Sirens, "The Dazzlings", as they were known during the Battle of the Bands. Perhaps the former Unicorn could finally find happiness... right?

Anon-a-Miss happened. An unknown user of MyStable started posting secrets about every student at CHS. Sunset received the blame. Punished for a crime she didn't commit.

Nobody believed her, not even the Rainbooms. The group of friends she thought of as exactly that... her best friends. Her family. Princess Twilight couldn't be reached, either.

Was she destined to be alone? The Magic of Friendship nothing more than a mere lie?

It hurt; the pain of betrayal ran deep.

But, no matter how dark it is, there will always be a new dawn on the horizon.

Yadda yadda yadda, You’ve heard of our kind; The Displaced. Becoming a small trend actually, I’ve been sent to Equestria because I cosplayed as Obito Uchiha from Naruto. Yeah, you’re probably bored at this rate.

I’m sent to Equestria with all of Obito’s memories, abilities and even his appearance as well. But when you’ve managed to piss off the Royal Sisters, well.. you know you’re in a pickle, especially when you’re imprisoned in the crystal cave for who knows long?

Luckily, that seal in my prison is about to break. But I don’t have any possible plans except.. whatever I could think of.

yeah yeah yeah, been reading too much displaced, I know.

This story is a sequel to The Abundance

Everyone has heard the legend of Hearth's Warming Eve. It is the tale of how the three pony tribes discovered a glorious uncharted land and managed to overcome their own mistrust to create a new country: Equestria. It is a story told for centuries, for thousands of years. Every pony, from the oldest pegasus to the youngest unicorn can recite it.

It... is a lie.

For before the ponies... there were others.

Now the sins of Princess Platinum, Commander Hurricane, and Chancellor Puddinghead will be revealed. The time for harmony is over and the one who calls himself The Should-Have-Been King has come to reclaim Equestria for him and his kind. Only Twilight Sparkle and her friends, the abstract Faith, Captain Trixie, the princesses, and the resurrected sea king Lord Tydal can stop the genocide of the pony race. To do so they must uncover the lost history of Equestria... but doing so will unearth secrets that should never be told. Knowledge that should never be spoken. For there are some truths that should never be unearthed.

But those who fail to learn from history...

From defender2222, the author of 'The Many Secret Origins of Scootaloo', 'Faith and Doubt', and 'The Abundance' comes the long awaited third volume of the Abstract Saga.

Shortly after the defeat of the Pony of Shadows, and the return of Starswirl the Bearded, new beings appeared known as Duel Monsters have been introduced and were now adapted into a card game.

Alternate Universe fic that crosses over Yu-Gi-Oh! with My Little Pony, set after Season 7. Tournament takes place before the start of Season 8.

This story is a sequel to The Execution of Starlight Glimmer

It's been a week since Twilight had a horrible nightmare about being ordered to execute her student and friend, Starlight Glimmer. Since this dream, she had been unable to concentrate. Usually dreams would fade within minutes of waking. This one was different. This one was strong. Twilight needed to tell somepony about it, and who better, than the one who's responsibility in Equestria was to watch over the dreams of Ponies? Who better than Princess Luna?

This story is a sequel to Myriad Thoughts

Sometimes, events don't go the way they were supposed to. Sometimes, it's hard to incorporate small pieces into a larger whole. Sunset Shimmer's arrival on Terra has resulted in a lot of changes to the world, and there are a lot of small stories which rise from her myriad deeds and started fires.

These short stories are snippets of life in the Myriadverse. Some are large tales that will take multiple chapters to script out, others are just brief glimpses into the past or motivations for various characters. A few explain the lives of people who are touched- directly or indirectly- by Equestria.

If you haven't caught up on the two main stories in this 'verse, (Myriad Thoughts and/or Sparks Catch) you'll want to look at the first 3 letters to determine where a story fits. The key is below.

SE- Supporting evidence, files, experiments, and notes. Have no chronological place, with perhaps minor spoilers. Usually just fluff.
BEQ- Set before the first Equestria Girls movie. These stories will mostly deal with Sunset's past, but some will deal with other characters or the history of the characters seen in this 'verse.
BMT- Set before Myriad Thoughts, but after the first Equestria Girls Movie.
AMT- Set after Myriad Thoughts, but before Sparks Catch. Note that these stories can also occur in the one month gap between the last of the five days of Anon-A-Miss and the sleepover at New Years.
ASC- Set after Sparks Catch, but before the Friendship Games.

More than a thousand years ago, a small filly flipped a coin, trying to decide which princess to give a precious flower to. Because the coin came up heads, the flower went to Celestia, starting the division that ultimately led to Nightmare Moon. But... what if the coin had come up tails instead? Read on, and learn the answer, my friends...
