Sunset Shimmer hasn't been to Equestria in a long time. Okay, she was there only a few months ago, but it was only for a moment, and she'd rather forget about that. One day, her friends manage to convince her to finally return, at least for the summer. After all, she could easily stay at Princess Twilight's. What Sunset soon discovers, however, is that there's a lot in Equestria that she doesn't know about, and when her feelings for her host come to surface, she finds this vacation might be more complicated than she expected.

[Second Person Perspective]

Thanks to the efforts of six ponies, Starlight Glimmer's reign has ended. All the cutie marks have been restored, save for the ones of your new friends. There's not much time before she makes it to the caves where you'll be unable to track her down.

During the final stretch of the chase, you're tasked with lifting Double Diamond up to the top of the hill to drop snow over the entrance to the cave. As you ascend, emotions swirl within as you realize just how fast you're flying and just how warm the stallion you're holding is.

After finding out that her parents lied to her Twilight runs away from home and ends up at Celestia's door. Meanwhile, a lonely Celestia is longing for family.

When they first moved to Ponyville, Fluttershy moved into an ornate cloud house, and Rainbow Dash moved into an animal infested cottage. As they settle into new lives and meet new ponies, they quickly discover that this isn't going to work at all.

We all know Shining Armor to be the hero that gets thrown around and beaten by the abnormal enemies of Equestria.

We know him to be the good guy that keeps going headstrong in a fight.

He's done it with Sombra.

He's done it with Tirek.

This new challenge, however, is going to be his most difficult one ever. He is alone and broken by the lies his friends and family have used to keep him in the dark.

Now that his loved one have brought the truth to the light, there are going to be consequences to lying about what has happened with Cadance' pregnancy.

Shining Armor is not going to understand for them. But they will understand this. . .

He is hurt.

He is angry.

He is done with his friends and family, especially Cadance.

Author Notes

Inspired by Zamairiac. Thank you by the way.

A Semi-Dark Short Story to the alternate universe of Shining Armor and Cadance having a screw-up in their marriage. And by "Screw-Up" I mean they are both in the wrong of what has put the gap in their love.

No, there is no rape or gore in this story. The twist of their conflict, however, is going to be a little messed up.

Rainbow has a bit of trouble waking up her marefriend, Twilight. Everything she tries just doesn't seem to work, and as she's about to give up, a sly idea pops into her mind.

Collab with The Abyss.

My shattered perception of reality has beheld the fathomless depths of madness, far beyond the waking eyes of mere mortals, and from which there is no means of escape. 'Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's weird tales.'

Twilight invites Sunset to spend a night at her house. Late night, Twi decides to read a story to her friend, but it seems that Sun isn’t paying attention to the story. Why was she looking like that at Twilight?
