This story is a sequel to Phoenix-born rising - the ascension of Sunset Shimmer [1st ed.]

The rite of the phoenix is one of the most celebrated moments among the sun-gazers of Solaria. For with the hatching of a new phoenix, comes the ascension of a new phoenix-born: a mortal chosen by the phoenix to be its new life partner and guardian. Only those with both strength and purity of their inner fire can draw the attention of a hatchling phoenix, so only the best of the best can ever hope to be chosen.

To one young orphan girl named Sunset Shimmer, she could only dream of witnessing the ascent of one of Celestia's chosen. As the day approaches, she learns that she will be able to, as she has been selected by the crown as one of the girls to serve at the event.

Little did she know that this would be the seminal event of her life, and change her fate forever.

Takes place after the 'Holiday Special' comic of 'Equestria Girls' and the 'No Such Luck' episode of 'The Loud House'.
Sunset Shimmer, still greatly hurt by what she went through during the Anon-a-Miss fiasco, decides to leave Canterlot High and break up with her friends. Along the way, she meets an 11 year old boy with white hair named Lincoln Loud, who ran away from home after getting tired of being perceived as bad luck by his insanely superstitious family and forced to wear a squirrel costume for good luck. The two exchange their histories and quickly become good friends. Meanwhile, Sunset's friends, the Humane 5, and their younger sisters, the Crusaders, miss Sunset and decide to go look for her in hopes of completely making amends and rekindling their friendship. They eventually meet the Loud family, Lincoln's parents and 10 sisters, who are out looking for their son/brother. The two groups decide to join forces and help each other find the people they’re searching for and make amends for their mistreatment.

After some time of turning over a new leaf, Sunset was happy with her life. She gained new friends, slowly winning over the students at CHS and became the protector of the human world alongside her friends against any rouge magic and creatures. She wanted to give back to everyone by becoming the head director of the Christmas party and Toys for Kids Festival at the school on Christmas Eve.

But when the events of the party and festival went wrong due to her past, Sunset was down on her dumps after she was blamed for the disaster and felt like she had ruined her friends lives because of her. Just when she was about to give up on everything, a mysterious teenaged girl, who claimed to be her guardian angel, showed Sunset what the world and her friends would be like without her.

This is an Equestria Girls take of an ever so beloved classic Christmas film, It's a Wonderful Life!

And on a Tv Tropes page!

Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, and Sonata Dusk don't know what to expect when they moved to Canterlot; Manehatten was quite a ways away, after all. But they don't mind; a new city means a new beginning, and a new beginning starts with a new school, and what better school to attend than Canterlot High School, a school that values friendship and good behavior above all else. With that kind of reputation, the trio will be up to their necks in new friends and fun memories!

At least, that's the plan. Sure, no plan is perfect, but really, what's the worst that could happen?

Despite the Main 7 tag, human Twilight will not be present in this story. There simply isn't a Main 6 (EqG) tag.

Alternate ending to "Forgotten Friendship". The Memory Stone has been destroyed and everyone's memories have been restored. Except for Sunset Shimmer's.

Now, teams on both sides of the portal must work together to discover what happened to Sunset's memories, where they went, and how to get them back.

Other character tags include: Moondancer, Princess Celestia, Sunburst, Trixie (EqG).

The most recent Friendship Games have just finished, with Crystal Prep's star academic Twilight Sparkle nearly ending the world. Abacus Cinch doesn't care about that; she merely wants Canterlot High School to forfeit the Games, claiming that the use of magic is cheating. Before anything else can be said, a new arrival appears, and Abacus Cinch gets a rude awakening.

After the events of the Friendship Games, Twilight Sparkle decided to leave Crystal Prep to attend Canterlot High School. As she finishes packing up her things, she runs into five Shadowbolts that competed in the games with her. They decided to give her a few words before she leaves.

This story is a sequel to Aftermath of the Games

Change happens, no matter what any creature wishes. Actions have consequences, no matter how badly you want to ignore them. And now, magic is starting to grow in the human world in a very big way, a way that can't be hidden in a single high school.

With the inevitable coming, inhabitants of two worlds have to scramble to get a grip on what's going on before it flows out of control. Hopefully they can figure out this new magic in time to ensure a peaceful relationship between the two worlds.

Too bad there's another party interested in magic...

Check out the TVTropes page.

After the whole mess with Midnight Sparkle, Cinch gets some well deserved comeuppance. But after seeing her get hers, Twilight begins to wonder why she should have got off so easy while her principal gets all the blame.

AU in what happens at the very end of Friendship Games and the season 5 finale.
