While exploring the decrepit remains of the Castle of Friendship, Sunny Starscout and her friends discover a strange book that might have belonged to Princess Twilight Sparkle herself. The book's contents resemble a series of letters that were apparently sent back and forth between Twilight and an unknown party.

At some point, Twilight stopped responding.

Starlight gets in an argument with Rainbow Dash on what qualifies as a Pegasus. This leads her to trying out for the Wonderbolts.

Spike is tired. He's been awake for over a thousand years and now it is finally his turn to sleep, once he is tucked in by Twilight, one last time that is.

Flurry Heart attempts to court Cozy Glow. Luster Dawn nearly dies as a result.

Years spent learning and sacrificing. Years spent turning down friendship. Sunset gave up everything. That was ok though. She was willing to be strong and make those sacrifices. She had to be. Sunset was Princess Celestia's star pupil and was destined for great things. Her faith in Celestia and her future at her side burned brighter than the sun... or at least it did...

Sunset Shimmer has fallen in love. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, no one really knows. Mainly because she won't tell anyone who it is. She's too busy struggling with the disbelief that she's actually fallen in love with this world's--

Well, you'll just have to read it to find out!

Sunset's geode has been a small blessing. While not giving common superpowers like the others, it does allow Sunset to do something special. Forgotten Introspection. Something she has started doing quite often. Even if deep down, she doesn't want to. Even if it hurts her.

Late one night, several months after the events of the Fall Formal, Sunset calls Rarity at a frankly unreasonable hour. Things go from there.

(This was originally a standalone one-off thing. The list of sequels is starting to get lengthy, so I decided to compile them all together as one thing for neatness's sake.)

Sunset, after becoming the victim of one of Twilight's experiments gone awry, sits down and has a long conversation with the mare she secretly hates the most. Herself.
