This story is a sequel to Put a Ring on It

It's the anniversary of Twilight Velvet and Nightlight, and to celebrate the family is gathering in an expensive hotel in the resort destination of Tall Lake: Shining Armour and his wife Cadance, Twilight Sparkle, her adoptive brother Spike; and her marefriend, Sunset Shimmer. Sunset hopes to make a good impression on Twilight's parents, so that she can get her blessing to ask Twilight's hoof in marriage.

But matters are complicated when Sunset befriends a young mare named Summer, who possesses the unerring ability to tell truth from lies, and who delivers a grim verdict: Sunset does not love Twilight. Sunset is thrown into doubt over her feelings, and at the worst possible time; for Tall Lake is not only a popular tourist destination, but also a hotbed of crooks and spies, with danger and excitement around every corner - and Twilight risks being caught in a web of deception and villainy.

Sunset will need to reach out to an old enemy, as well as a shadowy figure from her past, if she's going to fight for her love and win.

If, that is, Twilight really is her love, and she isn't fooling herself?

This story is a sequel to How the Sunset Sparkles

The Rainbow Falls trade fair has arrived, and every pony is looking to trade their old junk for their new treasure. Sunset Shimmer has come to the fair looking for something special: the perfect engagement ring with which to propose to the perfect marefriend. Calling on the help of her little sister, Eclipse, Sunset scours the fair and finds the ring, but can she complete the deals she needs in time to get her hooves on it?

Fearing the consequences of her actions in the bipedal world, Sunset Shimmer returns to Equestria and moves to Ponyville where Twilight Sparkle can keep an eye on her. Sunset Shimmer, bored and beaten, casts about for something to distract her, but soon the feelings growing inside her for Ponyville's princess can no longer be ignored. Nervously, with a little help and encouragement, Sunset begins to open her long-frozen heart to Twilight Sparkle, but when the shadows of Sunset's past threaten to destroy any chance of her happiness in the present, Sunset and Twilight may have to risk everything they have and defy cosmic forces older than Equestria in order to seize their fragile chance at happiness.

Many thanks to pre-reader The Albinocorn, but don't blame him for any errors you might find in the first chapter, because he only became pre-reader after I posted chapter 1

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.
