Sunset Shimmer reunites with an old school friend, who offers her an unusual role in the Crystal Empire. But then Sunset learns something unsettling about the last pony who held the job...

Twilight has decided: she's the ruler of Equestria now, so she's done with sending those private letters to Princess Celestia. Just one small detail: she hasn't told Spike yet. Yeah, this'll end well...

(Takes place between The Ending of the End, and The Last Problem.)

On a visit to Equestria, Sunset Shimmer discovers she and Princess Twilight have an unexpected connection from their school days... so they go check it out together...

Set in the MLP/EQG timeline, following Mirror Magic and Forgotten Friendship, but before Spring Breakdown.

This story is a sequel to The Visiting Team -- Part I

With the Princesses missing, Ponyville overrun, and Discord nowhere to be found, Twilight takes charge in Canterlot and Sunset teams up with the Ponyville gang, looking for a way to save Equestria, if they can only find it in time...

Sunset Shimmer has grown and changed from who she was. For a long time she's kept to her own path through life in the human world and kept her silence from across the rift that separates her from Princess Celestia.

But there's something important to say and a lot of healing still left to do.

It's time they talked again.

Finalist in the Forbidden Knowledge event on http://writeoff.me/. A big thank you to everyone who critiqued and reviewed the story there.

The portal between Equestria and Sunset Shimmer’s world has closed unexpectedly. Despite Twilight and Sunset’s best efforts, the girls have been unable to come up with a solution. Running low on pages to talk across the dimensional rift, Twilight reads what might be Sunset’s final message to her. However much to Twilight’s surprise, there’s also another message to a different pony.

Inspired by a conversation with Tired Old Man and the story The Last Page, with apologies to Holy.

Sunset Shimmer talks to Twilight about her feelings of idolization towards Celestia, and about the person she can only become without her.

Takes place during Rainbow Rocks.

A couple of (hopefully) silly and/or touching stories set around or after the events of Rainbow Rocks.

How Sunset's letter-book came to lie on top of Twilight's cart, and how it was not even nearly lost to highway robbery. Featuring the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

Music in our Hearts
During a break in band practice, Sunset Shimmer is asked how she learnt to play the guitar.

Sunset Shimmer has faced a lot, but now she returns to something that puts more butterflies in her stomach than everything else combined...returning home for a simple picnic with her mentor and Princess Cadence.

Can she reconcile with her loved ones and enjoy the day? Can she get over her nerves enough to actually ENJOY the day?

A commission by Alexwarlorn, who wanted a carefree, happy, lighthearted Slice of Life story I was glad to provide.

Hope you guys enjoy it!

Thanks to otakuap for the cover pic! Pretend that you're looking at it from Sunset's POV!

It had seemed like a good idea at the time, until Sunset actually read what Twilight wrote in her letter. She'd already said yes to seeing Celestia again, and she wouldn't go back on her word. As long as she remained convinced that this was a good idea and that it would all end well, she could get through it without a problem.
