Sunset Shimmer is invited to a house party! Only there's a big problem: it's happening on the weekend – time she planned to spend with her best friend and totally not secret crush, Twilight Sparkle – and that simply won't do. So, why don't they go together? Well, there are a few good reasons, actually. But none are enough to convince Sunset Shimmer not to bring her along.

The night may be doomed from the start, but that doesn't mean Sunset can't salvage it. And maybe, just maybe, she can find an opportunity to finally tell Twilight how she really feels.

A quick little one-off I've had sitting in the archive for a while. This story takes place in between chapters two and three of my other story Can You See What I See?, but reading that is not required to understand this story. Rated T for profanity usage, nothing else.

Hope you enjoy!

This story is a sequel to Can You See What I See?

It's only living the dream when it's your dream.

This shares continuity with Chromatic Aberration, Can You See What I See?, and Crowds & Constellations, but those are NOT required reading to understand what's going on in this story.

It's been a few weeks since the Friendship Games. This world's Twilight Sparkle is struggling to adjust to her new school and her new friends. Sunset sees this, and resolves to help ease Twilight into their group in any way she can.

A late night encounter, a pep talk, and a little bit of whipped cream – all things that seem insignificant on their own – cause Sunset to reflect on how she feels about her new friend and herself. Is she really just trying to be a good friend to Twilight because it's the right thing to do, or do her motives run deeper than even she realizes?

Tagged as teen for tobacco/alcohol use and profanity. Nothing spicier than that.

After a night out drinking, Sunset Shimmer wakes up in an unfamiliar bed. It takes some time and help from the woman next to her to reconstruct the events that had led her there.

EDIT: My first story to be featured on the front page! 🎶

During the middle of the night, Sunset receives a text from Twilight. At first, she didn’t think anything of it, until she realized that Twilight was hitting on her, and she was serious about it.

It only got worse better from there.

Princess Cadance has a problem only Agent Sweetie Drops can solve. But Agent Sweetie Drops—now known to almost everypony as Bon-Bon—would rather tear her own legs off than work for a princess again.

This was originally going to be my entry in the 2024 May Pairings Contest, but I didn't get it finished in time.

What if…  Sunset Shimmer had not just wound up at Canterlot High when she passed through the mirror, but instead had found herself in a world of supervillains and heroes, where costumed characters fought it out in the skies of New York and one young woman with no powers in this world did not have a chance to rise to her destiny.  So she decided to fix that problem, only to find her problems had just begun.

Meet Summer Lewis, a young supervillain created by The Consortium and later freed of their control by the Guardians.  Since then, she has passed in and out of the justice system, most recently released on probation only to find keeping on the right side of the law is far more difficult than it seems.

Much like where she came from originally.

I've been stuck in this world for just over a year now. In that time I've run into mythical monsters, physics-defying ponies, and actual, real magic.

Oh yeah, and the rulers control the sun and moon.

But that doesn't matter, because I know the cutest pony that ever lived.
