Similar to Icarus, Sunset tried to reach the skies only for the sun itself to bring her back down with force. Now she waits in a dark cell for the day of her execution.
But in what would be her last day outside of Tartarus, an intervention from a mysterious individual grants her a chance at redemption.

However, this redemption won’t be earned without labors, and they’ll only increase in difficulty as she completes them.

Inspired by No Time For a Sunset written by Thought Prism which you should go read if you haven't.

If you have, and you're wondering how did I go from Lancer to greek mythology... I've no idea.

Sunset Shimmer wants to become an alicorn more than anything - it's the entire reason why she's Princess Celestia's student. But she's run out of ways to research it and Princess Celestia has blocked her at every turn.

Fortunately for her, there's a new Princess on the block - Cadance. One who's already ascended. One who knows personally and intimately how she did it.

To get her to talk, Sunset will do anything. Even if it means pretending to like - really like - the Pink Pony Of Passion.

I've had enough!!!
"All I want is the pain to end,
To leave these people who don't want me anymore."

But at the last moment, when it really counts, she'll find that there is still someone who still loves her, that still wants her to be here, and They'll fight together to bring those responsible to justice.

This IS an ANONAMISS FIC.

The death tag will be for the alternate ending that I'm going to write.

Late story, happy holidays.

(AU) When Luna takes on a new student named Twilight Sparkle she knows that things will be different.She has high hopes for this young one.
But Equestria is in a state of unrest. And she begins to wonder if she can truly handle things.

Cast out of the Celestial Palace, the former Royal Student, Sunset Shimmer, is about to take life into her own hooves and seize what rightfully belongs to her, on the other side of that mysterious Mirror Portal.

Only problem is, somepony else got to the mirror, first. It's gone, vanished.
So is Celestia.

On the bright side, the new Acting Princess, Mi Amore Cadenza (or Cadance, as she likes to be called), is willing to ignore that banishment and give Sunset a second chance. She's heard the rumors about the reclusive, disobedient, and just-generally-mean Royal Student, but the Acting Princess needs all the help she can get.

So, all of a sudden, Sunset goes from being a disgraced scholar, banned from the palace grounds, to serving as a valuable asset of Princess Cadance's desperate scramble to hold the Principality of Equestria together and figure out what on Equus even happened to the Princess of the Sun.

Now, Sunset just has to avoid royally peeving off the ponies giving her a second chance: to ingratiate herself to them, even; to make herself indispensable. She can lie, cheat, and swindle like nopony else in the Celestial Palace, and it's time she used those talents for somepony other than herself.

Starting with this little project of Cadance's. The Princess needs to recruit a young group of friends to serve the Crown and Harmony, and she's already got a lead. Sunset just has to do the actual hoofwork of meeting the candidates, and then she can dust her hooves of this and go back to her studies, secure in her appointment as Royal Student.

What's the worst that could happen?

Comes after Stay of Execution, but that work is not required to appreciate this one. Provides context for Understudy.

Rated Teen for coarse horse language and various threats made to ponies' well-being.

A great cost was paid when Sunset went missing, too great, for with out the balance of Sunset's wisdom and understanding, A reluctant evil filled the void, and with it came great suffering, for the evil soon grew into the place, and so did her lust, now the world became a battle ground.

MTG crossover

Summer is nearly over. It's finally time for the girls to prepare for college. Although except for one, Sunset Shimmer has been very anxious and can't decide well what she will do for her future. But another problem is on their way again for the girls' magical geodes are slowly currently missing one by one.

As the girls dealt with their latest challenge, the powerful ancient Equestrian magic spell Sunset used to open the portal to another world caused a lingering imbalance. Sunset's entry into the human world displaced an unfamiliar but missed character, whose absence is noticeable whenever Sunset is present in the story.

In this story, we're going to reveal what happened to the human Sunset Shimmer.

This story is still in progress. If anyone wants to leave some suggestions, you are free to tell them. For anyone who wants to be a pre-reader or wants to collab with the story, just give me a DM ✨.

This story takes place after The Battle of Sombra 1 and 2.

For the timelines, it's kind of like this.

"The Battle of Sombra" story is still in progress, but it has an ending already. It's kind of like a summarised comic? Maybe someday I'll write the whole story of it soon, but for now I'll be focusing on the story of "The Setting of Two Suns".

This story is a sequel to The Gaps in F r i e n d s h i p

For Twilight Sparkle, the world was a very empty place. While her family helped her bear with it, there was only so much they could do for her. Combine that with Crystal Prep's toxic atmosphere, and it was a small miracle that she hadn't done something drastic a long time ago. As the void surrounding the poor girl continued to grow, that possibility became more and more likely. At least, until the day she found a strange black crystal near the remains of Canter Creek Bridge. Twilight's life was now about to make a drastic change, but would it be for the better, or the absolute worst?

Princess Twilight Sparkle travels to an abandoned ancient castle along with the Royal Sisters in order to investigate reports of inexplicable incidents that have been taking place there, suspected to be the work of bitter spirits. However, she has no books, or almost any source of information to provide her with leads.

Almost, except for a pure white teapot.

2023 edit: I started this story 8 years ago. I'm continuing it on a whim. My writing style has changed since, but most likely I won't be redoing/tweaking/editing the original 5 chapters. Hope you enjoy anyways!

Shortly after the Battle of the Bands, a new student arrives at Canterlot High School. Nobody knows her and she's not in a mood to make any friends. On any other school, she'd end up as a loner, but Canterlot High School isn't normal.
Of course, shenanigans are inevitable. Friendship, feelings and magic, whether she likes it or not.

Another EQG self-insert that starts right after "Rainbow Rocks" and moves forward from there. Since the events from the movies and mini-series won't all be included, I'm giving this the AU tag, just in case.
Tagged as "Teen" mostly because of foul language.
"Violence" and "Suicide" only happen in the later chapters, I will give a warning at the beginning of those.

This story is dedicated to a friend I haven't heard of in almost half a year now. I met her while I was in therapy for depression. She wasn't into MLP at all, but we bonded over music we both liked and I showed her some of the stuff I've written before. We even watched a few EQG videos and even if she wasn't ever "into" all this stuff, she felt pretty strongly when I showed her some Anon-A-Miss fics.
Turns out we both had out problems growing up and going to school.

We started talking, making up stories and I wrote some of them down. I made the suggestions to place them into the EGQ world, and Ocean Blues was born.

That was more than a year ago. We kept in touch, even after therapy, thanks to the internet, and we kept writing this "thing" together. Until, almost half a year ago, contact suddenly broke down. Her social media still exists, but there's no reaction. Her phone number won't connect any more. I have no idea what happened to her, and with all that corona and world wide crisis going on, it scares me. I know people sometimes just move on. I know people stop using their social media or change their phone numbers all the time. It still scares me.

So I've decided to publish this. It's not all finished and there will be gaps in the story line, although I've been trying to fill some of them on my own. This story was originally written in German, so the translation might sound weird at some points, please bear with me.
Maybe I will never finish this, but at least I want to post all I have from our work so far. To get it off my chest, and maybe so someone else might find it and get something out of it, even if it's just a chuckle.
