Learning how to be human, in the sense of both her physical body and her new outlook on life, has been an interesting process for Sunset Shimmer. Just as she starts to think she's figured things out through and through, something else comes to shake things up completely.

The latest such instance being when she learned her best friend had begun to think about their relationship in a whole new way.

And as Twilight and Sunset begin to explore what it means to care for one another the way they do, encounters with Twilight's family bring back moments in Sunset's life she'd long tried to lock away in shame. Resolving to confront some of the ghosts of her past in person -- albeit not quite in person -- the pair embark on a journey that brings Twilight to a brand new world, and Sunset to one she struggles to recognize, as both find themselves laying their souls bare before each other.

While this story is not specifically a sequel, it is in continuity with two other fics: The Final Conversation and Milkshakes, Marionettes, and Midnight. The story begins late during the events of Legend of Everfree and diverges further from the canon timeline during "Dance Magic".

In a world of brass and electricity, a disgraced Sunset Shimmer attempts to prove herself to her erstwhile mentor; bringing life into the world through means unnatural! But things don't quite work out as she planned...

This is an ongoing commissionned work. If you would like to commission me, click here!

Features ponified versions of EQG characters. Marked as Teen for saucy interactions, but is largely SFW.

They’d planned it out together. The perfect senior skip day. The amusement park, the rides, the shows, the bonding, and the massive afterparty at Pinkie Pie’s house. With dancing, games, friends from all over CHS, and lots and lots of alcohol. 

Only sometimes drinking makes you do stupid things. Like one of your best friends. Now Sunset and Rainbow have to piece that night back together, figure out their feelings, and clean up after a hoard of drunken teens. All while dealing with the hangover.

A huge huge thanks to my partner EquineWhoDoesStuff who both edited for this fic and graciously did this cover art for me after I tried and got aggro about hands. Go read their stuff! Sparkle and Sun are both amazing, lovely fics that do a great job exploring trans identity.

The narcotics tag is only for alcohol and the sex tag is only for mentions of past intimacy. No actual smut in this one. Hope you all enjoy!

This story is a sequel to My Empire of Dirt

Principal Celestia has had her hands full since taking a magically mute Sunset Shimmer. It hasn't been that long since the Fall Formal, and she's still trying to figure out basic communication with her student, let alone how to get her anything remotely like a Hearth's Warming present.
A hastily dashed off letter to her pony counterpart suddenly launches her on a night of adventure that will force her to question everything she thought she knew about Sunset Shimmer and how she can help the pony-turned-girl.

You're kinda going to have to read at least the first few chapters of My Empire of Dirt for this to make much sense. This story is considered canon to Empire.

I was originally going to write this as a one-shot, but once I hit 10,000 words, I figured I'd better break it up into chapters.

It has been a month since the friendship games, a year since the fall formal. But still Sunset Shimmer struggles with her thoughts and feelings towards her past mistakes. Her bad thoughts only have gotten worse lately due to the fact that she is the one who had to catch Twilight up on everything…including things she would much rather forget. One day she decides to go somewhere she hadn’t gone in a long time, how could she ever had known that this day would change her life forever.

This story deals with some deep and dark themes so just a fair warning to anybody who has triggers.
Consists of topics like: Suicide, depression, SH, trauma, homophobia, transphobia, some violence, physical and mental abuse. (Parent-child). Sexual assault (not detailed or straight up rape, it’s just some people coming onto another character). None of these topics go into graphic detail, only referenced and if there is a chapter that gets a little to descriptive I will put a warning in the authors note.

Anon-a-Miss won.

Her friends abandoned her and everyone else is out for her blood. At this point, her life has reached a low point. Then, a Wendigo lands her in the hospital inside another person's body where her whole life was an elaborate dream. It's all just a dream? No, that can't be right. That was too elaborate to be a dream! But at the same time, this is too real to be a dream as well!

Sunset must figure this out before the lines of dream and reality are blurred to her forever.

This story is a sequel to It's A Screwed Up Life

This is a story about the Sunset from the Wasteland Timeline in It's A Screwed Up Life.

Reading the other story isn't necessarily, well necessary, but will give context, specifically the chapter Tying Up Loose Ends.

Plans can change rapidly, with no time to counter.

Sunset Shimmer learned this the hard way.

She had gone through the mirror and spent her time in that world plotting to take over Equestria, to prove to Princess Celestia that she was indeed worthy of being a princess herself, that Celestia was wrong to expel her as her personal student.

However, those plans are now dead, along with Equestria itself.

If not for a strange filly who could defy the concept of reality itself, she'd have been trapped in a dead Equestria, all on her own, destined to die alone.

Now, she is stuck in the world beyond the mirror... and must face up to all she's done there in her years at CHS, as well as figure out how to move on to a future she never could've foreseen.

Will she be able to pick up the pieces and forge some kind of life for herself in a world that was never her own? Or will she fall into despair, with nothing to live for now that all she knew is gone? And why is there a child who seems to grasp Sunset's pain?

Sex tag is because human world, so duh, and high school, so, obviously talking about it will come up eventually.

Romance is obviously for Flash Sentry since, with this story taking place BEFORE the events of the first movie would've happened, Sunset had yet to break up with Flash prior to entering the portal and unknowingly being trapped on the other side.

Huh. In Popular Stories 10/08/2020. That is something I needed to brighten my mood after today.

Sunset's had enough. All the hate aimed at her on a daily bases for a crime she never even committed finally pushed her to the breaking point. When she finally decides to end the pain, a former victim of her cruelty becomes her savior. Now the battle to gather what little remains of Sunset's heart has begun, and with her new friends at her sides, will she be victorious or will Anon-a-miss finally break what's left of her?

This story is a sequel to The Arrival

Those who were lucky enough to decide to raise a child were bound to experience sheer weariness in exchange for the well-being of their offspring. But for some, a few nights without sleep is worth seeing their child new to the world and full of wonder.

*Warning, Slight hints of swearing, partial nudity, and attempts of self-harm

Diamond Tiara has always looked up to Sunset, from when she was the Alpha bitch, all the way to when she was reformed, and even during and after the battle of the bands. Diamond has had feelings for Sunset for the longest of time, but has never felt like she could tell her. However with Anon-A-Miss on the rise, and Sunset abandoned by those who called her family can Diamond find the courage to confess her feelings and show her that she's still loved?

Sex tag is only there for innuendos and jokes, nothing happens. Also for this the ages of Sunset is 18 while Diamond Tiara is 15, same with Silver Spoon, the CMC, etc. Thank goodness for the Romeo/Juliet laws.
