* Jan 27th, first feature. Thanks everyone!

Rarity has discovered that Sunset is actually the anonymous street artist "Flanksy." This, naturally, has raised some questions: How long has Sunset been doing art? Why doesn't she want credit for it? And, perhaps most importantly, why did she let Rarity see her the next morning?

Rarity was sure she'd failed Prim Hemline in creating a suitable window display for Carousel Boutique—only to find the most beautiful of artworks in those same windows the next morning. Even more surprising: Sunset had painted and arranged them.

A most wonderful turn of events, as far as Rarity was concerned—with just one problem.

How did Sunset manage to paint the window displays of a closed boutique overnight?

Part of the Montage Cinematic Universe.

The events of the Sunset Shimmer incident are weeks in the past and everyone is doing their best to move on from it, including Sunset herself; she wants to make amends for her mistakes and forge better relationships with the people of her adopted world, but they don't make it easy. Few, if any, are willing to take a chance on her save for the friends of Princess Twilight.

Perhaps there is at least one other out there who might show her a little understanding?

Twilight is prone to overthinking things, and prefers to learn things in theory, rather than through practice. Sometimes, though, you need a bit of help from your friends.

It has been two months since the invasion of Canterlot and Equestria is learning to heal. But even with Hearth's Warming around the corner, one pony can't find it in herself to be cheerful.

Tempest Shadow, still haunted by the memories of her actions, is desperate to find a way to prove she's changed. Hoping to help, Twilight asks an old friend for assistance. One who'll force Tempest to face her demons, whether she wants to or not.
