You can't go home again. That's what they say--and Sunset Shimmer happens to agree. You can't go home again. You really, really can't.

Rainbow Dash is dead, and Sunset has to fix it.

She is neither amused nor enthused.

Sunset Shimmer is a former tyrant, half-pony freak, and CHS' resident Friendship Chick. Twilight Sparkle is a former loser, absolute genius, and a complete nervous wreck.

When the new Twilight transfers to CHS, Sunset doesn't think much of her. But it doesn't take long for the two to become best friends — and change each other's lives in ways neither saw coming.

The first year of Sunset and Twilight’s relationship, told in real time through vignettes, text messages, snippets, and more.

Every chapter in this story takes place at a specific date and time on the 2023 calendar.

Sunset Shimmer lives her lonely days in a beautiful but empty world that she can control with her tablet. Her dreams and memories are the only company she has.

Inspired by the anime short film Shelter.

Twilight Sparkle was seven years old when she was saved by an angel, 10 years old when she first attempted to go grave robbing, and 13 years old when she successfully summoned her first demon.

Shining Armor was 13 years old when his sister was nearly killed, 16 years old when he caught his little sister's attempt at grave robbing, and 19 years old when his sister summoned a demon from the pits of hell.

Cadance was 13 years old when she met Shining Armor in detention, 16 years old when she tried to confess to Shining Armor, and 19 years old when her boyfriend's sister summons a demon.

Sunset Shimmer doesn't remember how old she is. She knows that she is the last demon, summoned by Twilight Sparkle to make a pact that will tear reality itself asunder.

They must somehow survive a world gone mad and each other.

With time short and a life on the line, Twilight goes to a forgotten corner of town seeking out an urban legend in the desperate hope it can help her. What she finds is all that she expected and more. A creature of darkness that offers favors for blood. But first it wants to know how Twilight found it, and why.

In the process, Twilight learns a valuable lesson. It's frightening enough to know that supernatural creatures actually exist, but what is truly terrifying is when those creatures know you exist. And one of them takes an interest in you.

As the end of the school semester and the Winter Wonderland ball approaches, Sunset receives an unusual request from Fluttershy that soon leads to a surprising revelation.

Written for Nailah for Jinglemas 2023

There's few better ways for Twilight Sparkle to spend a lazy weekend afternoon than propped up against the pillows on her bed, with her girlfriend resting on her body and reading her a story. Sure, she may have left her glasses out of reach, but that hardly matters when all her sensations are focused on Sunset's voice and body anyway.

Of course, Sunset might have an easier time reading if her partner would stop giving her little teases. But where's the fun in that?

Sunset nearly loses everything to one of the stupidest things that's ever happened to her. However, in spite of how dumb all of it was, it continues to eat away at her. She knows it shouldn't, but she can't stop the feeling on her own.

Thankfully, she doesn't have to do it on her own.

This is the only thing I will ever write referencing anon-a-miss. No relation to any of my other canon.
