There's few better ways for Twilight Sparkle to spend a lazy weekend afternoon than propped up against the pillows on her bed, with her girlfriend resting on her body and reading her a story. Sure, she may have left her glasses out of reach, but that hardly matters when all her sensations are focused on Sunset's voice and body anyway.

Of course, Sunset might have an easier time reading if her partner would stop giving her little teases. But where's the fun in that?

Born and raised in Canterlot, I'm a unicorn of high prestige. But, my mother shuns me despite not letting me go for the pegusi blood in my veins. She calls me the family embarrassment for my too fluffy fur, slightly unmatching colors, not long enough horn, and my ridiculous cutie mark. I try to escape, but it seems that she's everywhere, tightening the metaphorical leash on me. Can I make it out? Or am I doomed to have permanent wing envy?

Sunset's favorite alley cat has always been distant, only sometimes letting her get close enough to actually pet her. Not wanting an old friend to suffer out in a terrible storm, she's determined to show her a little kindness and a better life.

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.

Sunset Shimmer is a former tyrant, half-pony freak, and CHS' resident Friendship Chick. Twilight Sparkle is a former loser, absolute genius, and a complete nervous wreck.

When the new Twilight transfers to CHS, Sunset doesn't think much of her. But it doesn't take long for the two to become best friends — and change each other's lives in ways neither saw coming.

The first year of Sunset and Twilight’s relationship, told in real time through vignettes, text messages, snippets, and more.

Every chapter in this story takes place at a specific date and time on the 2023 calendar.

Twilight and Sunset have been dating for months and practically live together already. Which makes it increasingly awkward that Twilight's family doesn't even know she is in a relationship yet.
Something that is quickly and easily resolved and clearly no grounds for panic.

This story is a sequel to Come With Me

With the whole school hating her except a select few, Sunset hates herself and is depressed. Cheerilee learns how hard being a parent is and deals with things she never thought parenthood involved.

(Takes place two months after the Fall Formal.)

This story is a sequel to I'm New Here

Cheerilee is a kind hearted teacher who cares about her students and their well-being. When she catches one sleeping outside the school in a bush, she decides to take the young girl home and give her a roof over her head and maybe even more.

"There's just so much I don't understand"
"No matter how much research I do the magic here just doesn't make sense. Everyone is looking for me to clarify... and I can't do anything."
"I'm so useless to all of you."

Sunset and Twilight talk, eat Chinese, and by the end maybe Twily can help Sunset get her mind straight.

The very much unauthorized re-write of Jonny Bench's story called The Crippling Secret. I thought it would be fun to re-write it, but Jonny himself hasn't been on since half a year ago, so-

I did some reverse-image-searching, and I think the cover image comes from sjui00. Hopefully they don't mind my use.

Story was released 10/22/22, but I really, really rushed writing it. Usually, my stories take about five drafts before I'm happy with it. This one, I only did two then published it. On 10/24/22, I re-edited the story to flow better.
