After hearing from Sunset about the Anon-A-Miss scandal at Canterlot High, Twilight decides to set things straight. Right after she gives her friends an earful on how stupid they are.

A parody of everyone's favorite Equestria Girls comic story, because it seems to be the only one we like.

This was something I wrote for the Twarity prompt collab. A stand-alone oneshot for a bit of my own venting in it. Not one of my best pieces, but I thought it should get published, because why not?

The Battle of the Bands had been a week prior and the Sirens were not taking it well. Without the ability to feed, they can't survive very long. Deciding to just wait for their time to come, the sisters spend their last night out at a restaurant, dealing with the symptoms of their hunger. They were expecting the Grim Reaper to come for them, scythe in hand. They were not expecting someone else to show up.

This story is a sequel to Dazzling Sunset: Sunset Amulet

It's been two weeks since the Battle of the Bands and around a week since Sunset Shimmer saved the lives of the three Sirens. Now, Canterlot High is trying to push the trio to reform the same way they had Sunset Shimmer. Unfortunately, the Dazzlings aren't so easily broken as their savior.

Speaking of, Adagio and her sisters have been keeping an eye on Sunset, wanting to know why the jewel saved them. They find out more than they expected and immediately jump in to help the person who selflessly helped them.

Warning: Mention of self-harm

It was a simple question.

"Now that we've met the other me, I'm curious: Where's the other you?"

In all her years of life in the human world, Sunset Shimmer had never given a moment's thought to her counterpart...not even after meeting the Twilight Sparkle from Crystal Prep.

Neither of them are prepared for what they find when they go looking for her.

Everyone at Canterlot High saw what happened to Sunset Shimmer. She turned into a demon and became trapped in a rainbow vortex. But what about Sunset? What did she see on the other side?

This is a special one-shot that takes place within Not Just Any Old Continuity, but it can be read on its own.

(Gore tag for self-harm and dark thoughts.)
I know they fake it.
I know they talk about me when they think I can't hear them.
All the promises broken.
All the rumors.
All the nightmares keeping me up at night.
Living...
Is it even worth it?

Everything seemed to be going better for Sunset Shimmer since getting blasted by the rainbow of light. She was learning about friendship and how to be a friend. Then Anon-A-Miss struck.

Thinking she had gone back to her old ways, Sunset's new friends walked away from her, leaving her alone.

Now Sunset cannot find neither the strength nor the will to get out of bed.

This is a first foray into attempting to tell a story from a first person perspective from Sunset's point of view.

This story is inspired in part by my own past struggles with depression.

The suicide/self harm tag is for thoughts of self harm, and Sunset's inability to eat or do anything other than lie in bed as she sinks deeper and deeper into depression.

This story is a sequel to The Rejected

Coming back from the mental brink has felt like an eternity of a slog for Sunset Shimmer, even though the true passage of time has been just shy of eight months. Nonetheless, she has managed to make new friends, rebuild bridges, regain some assertiveness, and face down most of her proverbial demons. However, Sunset still has one final obstacle, the one she'd been dreading for ten years: Her.

This story is the final entry in Sunset's Recovery Arc.

This story is a sequel to Exes Meet

Sunset Shimmer is a smart girl; she knows staying in her apartment for weeks is unhealthy and recovering from a breakdown requires rejoining the outside world. However, she has not mustered up the courage to do so, largely because she is unable to trust her newfound "friends". She still wants to see them in hopes of proving herself wrong. Well, now they're all coming over to visit. Lucky her.

This story is part of Sunset's Recovery Arc. It was originally the end, but…

Rated "T" for references to self-harm in certain chapters.
