This story is a sequel to Twilight Sparkle Was Shot

She tried to murder Sunset Shimmer. Instead, she shot Twilight Sparkle.

Now she is in Equestria.

It's one thing to journey to the magical realm of your dreams.
It is quite another to wake up there, in a new body.

It is a third to realize you may not be able to stay.

(Chronology Note: this story takes place between seasons Four and Five.)

This timeline continues in When All of Your Wishes Are Granted.

Part of the Sunset Rising continuity.

Twilight Sparkle is the best student at Crystal Prep Academy, and while she’s pretty happy with her situation, her unofficial big sister, Cadance, keeps telling her to try and make friends. It never seems to go well for her, until Cadance convinces her to tutor the new student at Crystal Prep, Sunset Shimmer.

Well, I've had better days. I was just trying to practice a spell that may or may not have been forbidden... don't give me that look. You want a hoof to the face? Anyway, I underestimated my raw natural talent and the spell worked... too well.

Because I don't screw things up. Clearly, it worked like it was supposed to! I think.

Now there's me... and her. Stupid, upbeat, cheerful thing that thinks she's me. Ugh, she's worse than Cadence! I need to get her half of my magic back and get rid of her before anypony finds out about this!

I mean, it can't be too hard hiding a second Sunset Shimmer...right?

Everyone always tells Twilight that the ones who love us never truly leave us.

But that's a lie. It's always been a lie.

Things that live must also die. It's simply the cycle of life, and that cycle doesn't care about love or the pain it causes.

Until one day, that cycle is broken by a forgotten figure from her past: a little tortoise who's not so little anymore.

This story is, first and foremost, a gift for the incomparable Mushroom, who clearly must be some sort of undiscovered species of fungus dog since we definitely don't deserve her. I have it on good authority that this story gave her Many Feelings, and I hope it gives them to you, too. :)

This also won first place in the of the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting '2021 Gift Fic Exchange' contest portion, which is neat.

Argyle Starshine returns to Maretime Bay, surprising Sunny and her friends who were under the impression that he was dead! Understandably, Sunny is thrilled to be reunited with her father. Izzy Moonbow is happy, too, but can't shake the feeling that something is off about Argyle. And when Sunny begins acting abnormal, Izzy's concerns only grow.

This story is a sequel to Gods and Monsters

Many years ago, Princess Celestia granted Discord a boon for helping rescue Sunset Shimmer when she was trapped between worlds. He was given the power to declare one day a year as Discord Day. A day in which the draconequus was allowed to pull out all the stops as long as no creature came to harm in the process.

For personal reasons Discord ceased holding the even for decades and the concept fell into obscurity, all but forgotten.

Nearly a year has passed since the attacks by the Athanatoi and the tragic events that followed. Sunset Shimmer, now a coronated princess and diarch to the Equestrian Thrones has fallen into her role for the most part and begun to find her groove as well as further explore her relationship with her fellow diarch, Princess Twilight Sparkle.

Tempers will be tested, shenanigans will ensue, surprises, twists, and more as Discord Day is reborn!

Of all the ponies to unearth the lost history of Equestria, Hitch Trailblazer considers himself more an accessory to Sunny Starscout's breadth—and depth—of knowledge. Still, he knows just as well as her that there are more parts of the old world left behind than any would dare to know.

Alone on patrol one afternoon, Hitch discovers that some of that lost history can talk.

Maretime Bay generally has good weather year round but when Izzy comes to town to visit Sunny, she brings something unexpected with her. She brought in something that was completely foreign to the town. Needless to say, the town isn't prepared for it and plenty of problems arise.
