This story is a sequel to Breaking Out to Avoid Being Broken In

Chrysalis has had better days. In fact, she once had it all. A loyal horde, her enemies cocooned as sources of food for her hive, a home not cluttered with useless items like banners, doors, and toilets. Times have changed for the former Queen and she’s going to have to figure out how to adapt to her new life. Or, you know… do something sensible like try to get her old one back.

Mature version here. Warning: This version contain graphic descriptions of actual pony and changeling sex. Proceed at your own caution.

An infiltration attempt goes from ‘wildly successful’ to 'weird and confusing' in record time.

A young Sunset Shimmer has a problem; her mentor and resident mother figure has had no time for anything but work recently. Now she just needs a way to fix it. Luckily, she has a cunning plan.

Inspired by a conversation Justice3442 and I had while discussing a piece of art I did over on my Deviant Art page. Not the cover art; that I did because I couldn't stop giggling wildly at the mental image.

*** Since two people now have asked for the original piece that prompted the conversation between Justice and I. And thus both this story and the cover art. It's here.***

As always, if anyone notices any glaring mistakes, or has constructive criticism, please let me know. I'm really not sure how to classify this, so I'll just stick with the Slice of Life tag and add more if people say I should.

Any italics not directly inserted in speech are internal monologue. Sunset talks to herself. Frequently.

"I've got crabs."

Those three little words, spoken to Rainbow Dash over the phone, set Canterlot High School on fire.

Because even though most of the student body has forgiven Sunset Shimmer for her past transgressions and she has more friends than ever now, some gossip is just too juicy to ignore.

Besides, everybody's more than a little curious as to the finer details--and who else might be dealing with the same problem.

(Rated Teen for discussion of sensitive topics.)

This story is a sequel to Pinkie Pie's Chaotic Saturday

It's been a few months since Rarity realized she has a crush on someone of the same gender for the first time. She has yet to tell her friends, or even her crush for that matter.

Part of The Destiny of the Ancients

60 years ago Sunset Shimmer went through the mirror connecting Equestria with the Human world, but instead of arriving at Canterlot the mirror had other ideas. Sunset found herself stranded in a little place called Beach City, a place that is being protected by a quartet of space rocks that can take human form.

Meeting Rose Quartz and the rest changed her life, turning Sunset from a moody and angry teenager to a caring, witty and a-little-too-much-ego kind of girl, but those idyllic days couldn't extend forever, because when a corrupted gem attacked the city and she was heavily injured saving human beings, Sunset turned into something no gem had seen before.

That was so long ago.

Now Sunset is Spinel, a hybrid that has a gem instead of a heart and whose powers are still a mystery to the surviving Crystal Gems.

This is her story.

Of how she became a Crystal Gem.

Of how she helped raise little Steven.

Of how she continues saving the Earth while making friends in Canterlot.

Bad news: Sunset's sick. Good news: She has Twilight, AJ, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rarity to keep her company and see her through to a recovery.

Hours before Rarity permanently moves to Saddle Arabia, she and Twilight talk.

About fear, about pride, and about what comes next.

Spiritual sequel to A Thousand Words of Noise.

Twilight didn’t know what to say. How easy it sounded, to just not think about things that hurt, but thoughts were all she had.

Thoughts were the only thing that were hers, for better or worse.

Special thanks to lilfunkman for the cover art and for generally being the best support I could ask for.
