Sunset Shimmer might as well be a black cat, with how much bad luck seems to follow her everywhere that involves magic. Yet ending up in a place other than Equestria and becoming a fugitive within 24 hours just has to be the icing on the cake.

Stranded on the Boiling Isles, Sunset takes refuge at a sentient house, where two witch sisters sharing a curse, a big-headed demon, and a human girl/witch in-training help her hone her rediscovered magic powers and get back home.

• Post-canon MLP/EqG, the girls are currently in their senior year and Princess Twilight has been ruling Equestria for about six moons (CHS started around the time Luz has been admitted into Hexside).
• Set sometime after the Season 1 finale of The Owl House and is an alternate take on the second season (while retaining as much canonical aspects as possible).
• Mild violence throughout the story, but most prominent in one single chapter, gore tag to be added later.

While organising the restricted section of the Canterlot Archives, Twilight stumbles across an old secret, one that Celestia had forgotten about, and Luna had hoped long buried.

Drawn back to the Boiling Isles for the first time in many years, the two find themselves wrapped up once more in old rivalries, conflicts, and the antics of a certain demented owl lady.

Neither Hexside nor Equestria have any idea what's about to hit them.

To stop a grave threat from unleashing havoc upon all the realms, an infamous rogue warlock, the king of demons, and a student of a lost arcane art must embark on an epic quest to the most dangerous part of Equestria. Well, dramatically speaking.

Honestly, how is this the first crossover anybody's written with The Owl House? I literally had to make the group. Seriously, the show is incredibly funny and well-written, one of the best cartoons to ever come out of the US, I'd say. If you haven't seen it yet, Disney has the first episode freely available right here. You should be able to appreciate this story well enough after just the one.
