This story is a sequel to Teenset Shimmer Is Dazed And Confused With Twilight On Her Arm

Twilight Sparkle was sitting around, not really doing anything in particular, when Sunset Shimmer called and vaguely expressed the want or perhaps need to get her to come over. Well in Sunset's company, just about everything turned into an adventure and ended up in a beautiful journey out into the early suburban night.
A journey with a clear goal. Wait, no, there are no goals... I mean. Well. It all turns a bit muddled.
--

More craziness. Social interactions without social interactions. Or, well, yeah.
More insane hit-or-miss girl-love.
Just as creepy, I know.

After being abandoned by her friends during christmas, Sunset Shimmer wanders the cold streets of town, alone, and with nowhere to go. After walking for hours, she eventually gives into the elements around her, only to be saved at the last second by the last ones she ever thought would help her.

Meanwhile, the truth about Anon-A-Miss has come out, and her five friends are desperately trying to find her so they can apologize for what they have done.

Three Princesses look over genealogy papers. Except two are missing. Twilight's and Luna's.

This story is a sequel to Split Second

Twelve years ago, she broke time. Two alternate timelines exist, each with a different version of Twilight Sparkle. Both versions of her are able to see the other. In this timeline, Sparkle is a Necromancer.

Or rather, she was. Sparkle is dead now, not that she cares. She's got a new body. With Thorn (her undead dragon son) and Cobalt (her apprentice and an assassin for hire) at her side, she's ready to take on the world. Again.

(Spoilers in the comments. Read at your own risk.)

This story is a sequel to Split Second and won't make sense without it.
This story also loosely shares continuity with Lupine Tree. Reading that is not required.

A few days after the Nightmare Moon Incident, Spike awakens to find Twilight acting a little...odd. Or odder than usual anyway. All of a sudden she's being all motherly, sure of herself in ways she's never been before, and even more outgoing.

But…it’s kind of creepy how she just seems to know everypony’s name, or their habits, and even some stuff nopony else should know.

But she's still good old Twilight...right?

Sunset's favorite jacket is looking pretty beaten up after that whole rainbow laser explosion, and she doesn't know the first thing about fixing leather. Obviously she knows someone who could help her, someone who's already agreed to be her friend. But after everything she's done, she doesn't really think she's in a position to be asking favors. She hasn't earned anyone's friendship yet, and she certainly doesn't deserve anyone's help. Still, she's got no other options. So she'll just have to swallow her pride and beg Rarity to take some pity on her.
Rarity certainly has her work cut out explaining to her how friendship works.

Set after Equestria Girls, but before Rainbow Rocks. No shipping. Just awkward, self-loathing Sunset and generous, understanding Rarity.

After the Tantabus incident, Twilight asks Sunset Shimmer for a favor: to write to Princess Luna. Sunset and Luna share similar stories, and together they process everything they have been through.

Sunset Shimmer was once the most feared girl at school, but by some miracle she turned that around and became loved by most of the student body as well as gaining wonderful friends. One little incident changes all of that and Sunset finds herself going back to old habits in order to protect herself as she learns that the most important lesson is that friendship is bull. Can the love of someone who has wronged her help change all of that and make Sunset realize that she did no wrong and that the ones who needed to learn a lesson was everyone else? Can there ever be forgiveness and a happy ever after?

This actually started out as a plot bunny but will be a full short story consisting of 2 to 4 chapters unless I decide to make it into an epic story!

What if Rainbow Dash never existed to turn six young lives upside down with her Sonic Rainboom?

Harmony will always find its Element-bearers, and something certainly would have united six friends to wield them ... but a change as small as the flapping of a butterfly's wings can have enormous effects on everything that follows.
