Adagio Dazzle wants to be heard.

Sunset Shimmer is in the unique position to listen.

My entry into Oroboro's Changing Seasons contest

Special thanks to Undome Tinwe for editing!

Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer. Two ponies who are all too familiar with regret. Though they have just met, both can see a little of themselves in the other. After helping her friends stop the misguided rampage of Juniper Montage, Starlight is faced with another problem. Completely by accident, she uncovers Sunset's unrequited wish. To reunite with Princess Celestia.

With Sunset too enveloped in regret to undertake the journey alone, Starlight agrees to help. Pitted against their own doubts, will they be able to pull through or will Sunset's greatest wish go unanswered?

It's the last day of winter and Sweetie Belle is all the glad for it. She's had enough of the cold and snow, but when Rarity goes out on a date, she asks Sunset Shimmer to watch Sweetie Belle.

As feelings rise and bloom, the snowy night brings about the greatest warmth two people can find with one another.

An entry for Oro's Sunset Shimmer Shipping Contest.

Sunset should be happy. She's completely reformed from her old ways, help saved the human world multiple times, and has many friends she considers closer than family. And yet, underneath all the good she now has, some part of her can't help but feel like she hasn't truly earned it. She hides this feeling well, even from herself at times, but when she suspects that one of her new friends is struck with the same feeling, she'll find that she can't ignore the truth that's right in front of her. And maybe she'll find that mutual feelings mean more than she could have ever expected...

An entry for Oroboro's Sunset Shipping contest (at the very last minute... again). I'm proving to be very bad at keeping to any kind of timeline/deadline... But hey, at least it's done! Once again, not planning to win anything with this story, just wanted to add my humble submission to glorious sunwaifu the contest. Just the contest...
Enjoy the story!

P.S. I expect a Juniper character tag to be created quite soon specifically for the sake of this story. I'm waiting Fimfiction... Edit: Mission Accomplished. Heh heh.

Edit: Okay, so I just took a second look at the contest page and I noticed something I completely skipped over when originally reading the contest. Apparently there was an actual prompt we were supposed to follow when writing... Which I totally and accidentally ignored and did not use in the slightest. Whoops. Ah well, way too late to fix it now and to be honest trying to shoe-horn that in there would have been really annoying anyway with all the other stuff I had in mind. So meh, if it disqualifies me from consideration then so be it. I hope you guys enjoy the story anyway.

For four years, Sunset Shimmer has carried a torch for Miss Cheerilee, and for four years, she's struggled to look at her without thinking of the one who got away.

First place in the Changing Seasons Sunset Shipping Contest!

Due to a slight misunderstanding involving Pinkie Pie, Sunset Shimmer finds herself on the receiving end of Limestone Pie's sisterly wrath. Because of this, she ends up suffering through the most stressful first week of school since her days at Celestia's school for gifted unicorns.

Christmas time has come, but some people aren't really in the spirit. While Sunset Shimmer tries to enjoy sleepovers with her friends, a blogger under the name 'Anon-A-Miss' has begun posting secrets.
Unfortunately for her, they have a Secret Weapon. After all, isn't Miscommunication the real evil?

I know everyone and their cat has rewritten Anon-A-Miss, but I wanted to do a version that was, well, different than most. And how it would fit in with other stories I've made.

Oh my stars! Featured the day it went up!

Princess Celestia has finally decided to introduce her two prized pupils to each other, hoping that together they'll finally start to appreciate the beauty and magic of friendship. Sunset may be proud and brash, and Twilight might be obsessive and oblivious at times, but surely they'll get along fine, right?

They'll go above and beyond that in time, but the road they'll take to get there is a rocky one.

After ascending to princesshood, there was still the matter of Sunset's official coronation.

Of course, she was going to invite her friends along for the event.

It went about as well as you'd expect.
