This story is a sequel to Sunset's Despair

Sunset Shimmer continues to feel depressed and won't admit it to anyone. However, Twilight Sparkle begins to take notice of Sunset's unusual behavior. Not knowing what to do, she and her friends try to figure out how to help their troubled friend.

Can Sunset admit she needs help?

According to both Cadence and her brother, Sunburst has been acting weird as of late, and he doesn't seem willing to talk about it. When one morning he disappears, and rumours are heard of him being at a bar, Twilight, who is visiting the Empire, decides it's time to check up on the unicorn and figure out what exactly the problem is. The answer turns out to be a peculiar one, and certainly unexpected.

“I may not know what the future holds,” Sunset told her friends, “but here me when I say-

“That your past doesn’t define you and your past is not today?” Pinkie interjected with a wide smile.

The redhead returned the grin with a small one of her own as her eyes misted, surprising the girls. Sunset shook her head and, surprising the girls again, she initiated a group hug.

“No, here me when I say, that it’s just scary to think about, the future I mean, and I’m honestly scared right now.”

After the Starswirl Music Festival, Sunset Shimmer apologizes to Pinkie Pie for losing patience with her.

...at least, that had been the plan.

"Hey, it's Starlight. Meet me at your portal in an hour. I'm coming over."

Sunset Shimmer was enjoying a completely ordinary day when those words appeared in her journal.

Whether or not it will stay ordinary... well, they'll have to play that one by ear.

Starlight Glimmer has gotten her hooves on Twilight Sparkle's Friendship Journal and she realizes that she could fix everything with time travel...

Starlight Glimmer has gotten hold of a time-travel spell and the Friendship Journal, and she's gonna fix some drama, friendship lessons be hanged!
So here's a first: not only is this technically incomplete, but I'm about to be reviewing (in no particular detail) something I wrote! Or had a hand in writing, at least. Holy shit, there's 54 authors in this. @_@ As the season 8 chapter was just uploaded, I feel the time has come to throw the spotlight on it, incomplete or no. What will you find in here? Hilarity. Not every installment is equally good, but this is a celebration of everything that makes Starlight Glimmer the overpowered psychopath we all know and love. The problem with fix-fics tends to be a lack of drama or conflict, but when your starting premise is "we're going to short-circuit all the drama, and it's gonna be funny", the field is ripe for shenanigans. There's lots of pizza, lots of shipping (and the thing I did in S8 where Starlight's getting old, which I don't think actually works, but whatever); this is a real good time and you could do far worse than pull up a few of its episodes now and then for some laughs. You never can know what someone will come up with to short-circuit an episode, after all! Trust me, I wrote the non-canon sequel. :V
