This story is a sequel to In the Absence of Sunset Shimmer

Continuity diverges after Rainbow Rocks.

Twilight Sparkle's power over magic has grown since she visited the strange parallel world populated by ponies. She's trained under Sunset Shimmer, learning new spells daily, earning herself greater focus and stronger friendships.

However, magic can be found outside their small circle of friends. Sunset Shimmer is invited overseas to visit a school that is dedicated to teaching humans the mystic arts. The headmistress, Starlight Glimmer, appears to have good intentions, but Sunset's doubts rise as she meets the source of their knowledge: Another visitor from the far reaches of the multiverse.

Meanwhile, Twilight encounters a murder committed through the use of magic. Danger closes in on every side as she unravels the mystery clue by clue. With Shining Armor at her back, and magic flowing through her veins, she's sure she can conquer any challenge.

But the school and the murder are connected, and when the plots converge, Twilight will have to face her greatest challenge yet...

In an infinite multiverse with infinite possibilities, there is a third Twilight Sparkle.

And she's made Sunset Shimmer's home her own.

Takes place AU in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, pre Captain America: Civil War. With inspiration from the Spiders and Magic series.

During the six months of having Spider powers Peter encountered a strange power which takes him to a cartoonish place where everyone has weird names but a lot like his without the superheroes. At Canterlot he befriends Twilight and helps her in her quest to investigate the strange going ons at Canterlot High.

Inspired by Spiders and Magic, what are they various adventures of the MCU Peter Parker and Twilight Sparkle of the Equestria Girls universe could get into as a couple?

This story is a sequel to The Return of the Shadows

Princess Celestia sends King Sombra to Ponyville to learn about friendship with Twilight and her friends.
But days passed, and between Sombra and Twilight something else grows.

I deserve no forgiveness. If I could take it back, well... I would never have met her. Somepony who could forgive me. I think. Look, it confuses me so stop asking!

I hate him and what he did to the Crystal Ponies is something I will never forgive. So why is it that I care when ponies scorn him? When they hurt him, why does it make me cry? When I see him, why does my heart skip?

Is it just me or has Twilight gone crazy? Dude's a jerk.

Can we please change the subject?

Author's Note: Other is flagged due to the character flag limit. Expect Cadance, Shining Armor, Luna, and Discord at least!

After putting on the Element of Magic, Sunset Shimmer was shown just how much of a monster she really is. But that wasn't all the Elements did to her.

Sunset has now been forced to serve penance by answering any question truthfully and by doing anything asked of her, whether she wants to or not.

And she really doesn't want to.

Until all of the hatred in her heart is gone, Sunset is at the whim of her peers, unbeknownst to them of course. Can her new "friends" help her down the road to redemption?

If not, there's always that other Twilight Sparkle she keeps running into.

Twilight Sparkle always preferred to work alone. She looked at group projects with disdain and co-presentations with disgust. They were excuses for others to shove off their workload on her.

But Twilight Sparkle was also smart. And smart people knew when they had to overcome their personal feelings for the greater good of the world. Which meant that she had to ask Sunset Shimmer - the girl who had yelled at her and made her cry yesterday after the Tri-Cross Relay - for help figuring out how to use her thice-damned Amulet, lest she lose control of it and the inadvertently make the entire world explode in a spectacular burst of lava.

Okay, maybe she was overreacting a bit. And Sunset probably wasn't that bad of a person. That said, she would still have to share her Noble Prizes and recognition.

But it didn't really matter, because she wouldn't be around Sunset Shimmer around for long anyway. Just a few experiments here and there. Give it a couple of weeks and their partnership would be over. Right?

Sunset and SciTwi start out trying to figure out how the Amulet works and win a couple of Nobel Prizes, but they end up discovering a whole lot about themselves on the way there.

Worthless, weak, ugly—as far as Twilight is concerned, that's all she'll ever be. Even three months into their relationship, Twilight still refuses to believe that an absolute goddess like Sunset could ever love a loser like her. And it doesn't help that Twilight spends every night being tormented by nightmares of Midnight Sparkle, the one being who hates Twilight more than she hates herself.

Twilight can only remember a single moment in her life when she felt strong: the five minutes that she spent as Midnight Sparkle. The five minutes she spent with magic.

Now, tortured by fear, anxiety, and never-ending nightmares, Twilight knows the only way to win Sunset's love is to make herself stronger—even if that means resurrecting the demon inside of her.

Upon seeing Timber Spruce and Twilight hit it up so well, Flash begins to realize that the likelihood of him being with either Twilight was becoming slim to none. Though it pains him, he's ready to give up on her. But, when a certain someone comes and surprises him, he may reconsider.

Set during the ending of Legend of Everfree. Minor spoilers.

The Friendship Games are over, magic in the human world is once again under control (sort of), and Sunset Shimmer is looking forward to a nice, relaxing celebration with all her friends, both old and new.

Too bad she ends up stuck on repeat; living the same night over and over with no idea why and even less idea how to make it stop.

Forced to watch her closest friends live out the same mistakes again and again, Sunset must find a way to break the cycle before she herself breaks down... but is the solution as simple as it first appears, or is the wild Equestrian magic stirring in her soul a sign of something more?
