Sunset Shimmer gets set up on a blind date. She just didn't realize it would be with two people. Two very incompatible people.

Sex tag for implications only.

This story has a sequel: Blind Dates Ii: Fireworks in the Home, which covers the missing moment in the jump cut near the end of the first chapter of this story. Be aware: it is rated Mature.

Twilight falls head over heels for a sandwich artist.

It's just unfortunate that the object of her affection seems to hate her for some reason.

Profanity tag for a healthy helping of swearing.
Romance tag for a love as empty as the calories at Subway.
Comedy tag for the joke that is my taste in music.

The past couple months have been hard on Twilight; she's taken to living in Canterlot Castle to ensure she can truly fulfill her role as a Princess of Equestria. However, the longer she's there, away from her friends, the more she realizes what her life is missing. She has status and friendship, but still she has troubles sleeping as a loneliness clings to her heart. Perhaps she's missing something.

And maybe a friend who shares a similar situation can shed some light on her problems sleeping.

Enter Rainbow Dash, a mare at the top of her world in every way. And yet, in the best hotels the Wonderbolts can buy, she finds the large beds just a little bit too empty to fall asleep.

Rainbow Dash gets the opportunity to offer her crush a gift.

Twilight Sparkle is sure that Rarity and Rainbow Dash are having relationship issues, primarily because they keep inviting her to join them on all their romantic dates.

Sunset Shimmer couldn't ask for much more. She has a great group of friends, a place to herself, and an amazing girlfriend, Adagio Dazzle. Except, the Rainbooms don't know she has a girlfriend. Or that they've been dating for six months now. And there's the tiny little detail that her best friends know Adagio Dazzle as the leader of the Dazzlings, who tried to use their magical singing voices to brainwash the whole school. And drain the students' negative emotions to grow powerful enough to take over the world. Sunset can handle it, though. Even if it means juggling the woman she loves with the friends that are like family to her.

Written to the prompt of, but not an entry for, Oroboro's Sunset Shipping Contest. I had originally intended to only edit a friend's entry, but I had so much fun with the idea of a Sundagio story I decided to try writing one myself.

After talking to some of the readers, my friends, and my family, I have decided to actually enter this fic into Oroboro's Sunset Shipping Contest: Journeys.

Teen/Sex tags for heavy alcohol use in two scenes and implied sex scenes.

Sunset, ashamed of her relationship with Adagio, tries to hide it from her friends. Adagio then gives her an ultimatum: Tell them or she will. Join them as they try to navigate through the tricky journey of redemption, love, forgiveness, and who tops.

Er--wait...

Wait...No...

It was safe to say that the Post Crush concert had been an interesting time for all concerned, Sunset Shimmer especially. But when all was said and done, there was definitely fun to be had, and now the girls pack up their things to head on home. However, as they journey, they spot a particular trio in need of some assistance.

This is an alternative version of what could have happened when Sunset Shimmer met the Dazzlings at the Starswirled Music Festival in Sunset’s Backstage Pass.

The Dazzlings return to their tour bus to switch off the toaster and find Sunset rummaging around.
Adagio takes on the intruder herself and once alone in the bus with her reveals another side of their relationship, but how far can Sunset trust her?
