Adagio Dazzle has a real penchant for showing up at the wrong time in places special to Sunset Shimmer. The school, the PostCrush concert, and now her favorite music cafe. Adagio doesn’t seem to be causing any trouble with her singing yet, but sirens only sing for one reason. When Adagio sets her plan into action, Sunset will be ready to stop her.

Celestia finds herself sharing company and her booze stash with Luna's crazed split-personality, Nightmare-Moon. However, as the night wears on, she finds she may actually be able to tolerate the dark alicorn. Maybe even like her.

For Nightmare Moon is the best pony: Contest numero uno.

When all her friends are busy, Sunset decides to check out a karaoke and milkshake bar.

She ends up getting more than just a milkshake and leaving more than just a song.

Written for the November(ish) Sunset Shimmer x Adagio Dazzle Contest.

For most people, the holidays are a time for good cheer and well tidings, family and friends, a warm place by the fire and a cup of hot cocoa.

The Dazzlings, unfortunately, are not most people. Christmas time has rolled around to the sirens' household, and like every other year proceeding it, chaos will ensue.

Let's just hope they don't burn the house down like last year.

If you enjoy this story, consider a commission!

Without their voices, the Sirens can't cast any magic.
And without their magic, the Sirens can't survive.
Adagio is well aware of this, and even though Aria abandoned them, she's trying her hardest to take care of Sonata - she knows it won't be long before they succumb to their hunger and starve.
There's only one person who could help - Sunset Shimmer. But would Sunset and her friends be willing to help, after everything the Dazzlings had done? Will the Sirens find a way to survive, and finally get their sweet atonement?

Spin off story: Aria Ablaze

Cover art by me.
Rated T for mentions of sex and swearing.
This fic was inspired by 'Sweet Atonement' by Xandria. I'm only using the title because I think it fits really well and I like the song.

This story is a sequel to Sonata Time

After Sonata helped her fellow sirens from being homeless. They are know going to Canterlot High.
As Sonata enjoys her new life with her friends Adagio is hiding a dark secret from both Sonata and Aria.

On top of that Sunset Shimmer tries to befriend Adagio. Will Adagio accept this friendship?

Adagio Dazzle, the leader of the sirens, was defeated at the end of Rainbow Rocks. Now, her life a year later is much harder than it's ever been. Working at a night club, she's lost her connections with the only family she used to have, Sonata and Aria, and she's trying to make it through the world on her own by regaining her lost power. That is until Sunset Shimmer gives her advice that spins her view on the world upside down. Adagio tries to help her neighborhood and others to finally find the secret to happiness, but she finds that she needs to forgive herself before she can ever be happy. After giving Sunset Shimmer a gift, her heart starts to race, making her wonder what she was feeling. Did she finally forgive herself or was this love? Will Adagio let go of her hate for the world or let it grow? Can something more spark inside a siren's heart?

This story now has a sequel titled A Shimmering Heartbreak~! I hope everyone decides to check it out!

Special thanks to a good friend of mine for the new cover art for the story!

Sunset Shimmer didn't really like that stupid pegasus to begin with, and her distaste for her only grew after the day of Mi Amore Cadenza's coronation. That crown was supposed to be hers. Instead, it went to the stupid Princess of Love. Now, Celestia has arranged for Cadence to stay in Canterlot with Sunset, and encourages the two of them to become friends. But with Sunset's dour attitude, and her constant bullying, will the two ever become close?

Highly underrated and little-known ship I have dubbed "SunDance"

Rated T for pseudo-profanity and suggestive content.

This story is a sequel to A Few Days Prior

A mere day before the beginning of the inter-school Friendship Games competition, an oblivious Aria Blaze takes a lunch break at the mall, and finds herself seated with a disgustingly cute and quirky couple. She's already had a bad day, but whether she ignores or interacts with them, they seem to find some way to make it even worse. It only devolves from there.

(Sex tag is for some crude language and discussion from a certain Siren)
