This story is a sequel to Code Blue

The Dazzlings are forced to spend a whole night with Pinkie Pie and her crazy sisters.

Rainbow Dash has a run-in with the cops.

I suggest reading Code Blue before Pink because you will be lost

Also, I regret nothing.

It had seemed like a good idea at the time, until Sunset actually read what Twilight wrote in her letter. She'd already said yes to seeing Celestia again, and she wouldn't go back on her word. As long as she remained convinced that this was a good idea and that it would all end well, she could get through it without a problem.

This story is a sequel to This Second Forever

Twisted by force and enriched by choice. Alike in all ways but the roads they diverged on, they look upon the other. Fear, regret, anger, resent. Hope, pity, searching, respect. The Elements tore them down the roads they now meet on. Altered by the atrocities and the accolades they have brought.

It is their own hearts that brought them upon the diverging road, and it is their own hearts that speak to them now.

This story is a sequel to Forever This Second

Prodding from peers and her highest instructor led Twilight Sparkle to release all the magic she had stolen. What it would do was beyond her, a simple human facing down what was not of her own world. Her research in these matters ran deep; but theory was brought to reality in that one moment.

It was discourse that brought her there, and discourse that filled her mind for the first time.

Spoilers for the ending of "Friendship Games".

Facing down a girl twisted by magic and her own ambition sparked Sunset Shimmer to summon the Elements of Harmony. The very same Elements of Harmony that stopped a girl twisted by magic and her own ambition not long ago.

It was harmony that beat her once, and harmony that filled her mind yet again.
