A lot can change in ten years. You and your friends grow up, move on, and return. For Sunset Shimmer, something else happened. She lost her way back to her homeland. She returns to Canterlot High on a futile quest to see if the portal to Equestria has returned. Instead, she finds herself catching up with her former principal... for better or for worse.

Hearth's Warming is a time of giving thanks.

Even when the entity we're giving thanks to might not be the sort other folks think deserves it.

But Luna's wise enough to love her enemies. Or, at least, acknowledge when debts are due.

*********************************

This isn't technically part of Jinglemas, but it's dedicated to the ever lovely Flutterpriest nonetheless. As soon as he told me that he wasn't joining the jinglemas collab as a participant, I decided that he was going to get a fic anyway, because he deserves it.

He gave me a heck of a tough nut to crack, character-wise, but I hope I did okay with it.

At first, Wallflower Blush was excited to visit Equestria with Sunset Shimmer. Then she saw what her girlfriend became on the other side of the mirror. And what Wallflower didn't.

How could Sunset want to be with a person—or a pony—like her?

Takes place prior to Equestria Girls: Spring Breakdown and Season 9.

Written for, and inspired by, my girlfriend Scampy, whose Wallflower stories are far better than this.

Written to this song.

This story is a sequel to First Day Of My Life

It's Christmas Eve and Sunset Shimmer is spending her very first Christmas with Wallflower Blush as her girlfriend, but no matter what she does, Sunset can't make money appear out of thin air, and as much as she wants to get Wallflower something nice, all she can do is hope that she'll be happy with something thoughtful.

Not a Jinglemas gift, but still written for Scampy.
A Happy Hearth's Warming to you.

A Sunflower Christmas Special set between First Day Of My Life and Something Vague.

Late at night, when Wallflower is all alone with herself, the bad thoughts in the corners of her mind get harder to ignore.

What exactly did Pinkie Pie do during the time she held Discord's power? An Equestrian intelligence officer leaves a message to her successor on what little they know so far. Warning: Superintelligences and existentialism

Author's Note

Inspired by The 21-Second God, though I ended up taking it in a different direction than good ol' Squiddy.

Charlie Stross Was Right.

Vaguely planning more stuff about the Equestrian intelligence services, recontextualizing all the episodes of the series one by one to various degrees. If I end up doing that, this story will end up being one of the capstones. It'll also be a long while before I start it, if I ever do.

Also left two (2) lines from literature in there. It's possible I left even more than that inadvertently, considering I tend to repeat cool things I hear. But if you catch them let me know!

Sunset and Twilight’s story as they graduate college and navigate the rest of their lives together. How they explore the world, make lives for themselves, and stick together through thick and thin.
Warning: The cheese is strong with this one. 
Marking this as canceled but it does have an outline of where it was going, as well as a playlist in the final chapter.

It's been almost twenty years since Sunburst last spent the night at Starlight's home. Much has changed since then. If it weren't for her other friends finding a way for them to reconnect, Starlight might have truly lost her first friend. While she looks back fondly on their friendship as foals, Sunburst doesn't even seem to like talking about that time in their lives, much less revisiting it.

When Starlight approaches Sunburst the night before he returns to the Crystal Empire, she inadvertently discovers something about her old friend that might explain it all.

Inspired by a scene from Uncommon Bond. Story takes place towards the end of the episode.

Thanks to Ice Star for proofreading.

Starlight Glimmer and Sunset Shimmer have been experimenting with their powerful magic. One afternoon, Twilight walks in while they're inside the Castle of Friendship casting spells, and in a freak accident, Twilight is abruptly turned into a small filly.

Is Starlight and Sunset worried about what they've just done? Not really.

Actually, they're too busy admiring, and snuggling the adorable filly Princess Twilight to care about their looming consequences.

Poor Twilight...

Starlight writes her final farewell to Twilight.

She didn't expect this to be this hard.

But it's for the best.

She only hopes Twilight sees it this way too.
