Some people believe that the world is a wide variety of colors and emotions. But for Adagio Dazzle, there's only gray.

"Hey, you used to be Celestia's student, right? Did you know Sunset Shimmer?"

This story is a sequel to Shadowbolts Adventures: A Step Too Far

On a lazy evening, Sugarcoat realizes that her online Ask Blog has reached 500 Followers, and decides to celebrate with an impromptu AMA.

Rated T for light sexual suggestiveness.

Sunset Shimmer's life has been on the up and up. She turned from her past, made new friends, and is now passing the magic of friendship to others, including this world's Twilight Sparkle.

Which is why, of course, this is all just a mistake. Things got a little out of hand, but it's over now. So now they can just move past this. Why, it'll be a funny story to tell in a few months.

Now has a spiritual sister story in So You've Just Seduced Your Best Friend. For more details on that, check here.

Sonata has a tooth ache. Adagio and Aria don't want to deal with it. Sunset Shimmer gets involved. Applejack is there. It's gonna be one of those days.

Inspired by a conversation with Tired Old Man, naturally.

Rated "Teen" and tagged with "Sex" because of Adagio freakin' Dazzle

Applejack finds something hidden under Apple Bloom’s mattress. Now, it’s time for big sister and little sister to have a talk about what is and isn’t right for an Apple to do.

Written for the Writeoff Association's January 2016 contest, Look, I Can Explain....

After putting on the Element of Magic, Sunset Shimmer was shown just how much of a monster she really is. But that wasn't all the Elements did to her.

Sunset has now been forced to serve penance by answering any question truthfully and by doing anything asked of her, whether she wants to or not.

And she really doesn't want to.

Until all of the hatred in her heart is gone, Sunset is at the whim of her peers, unbeknownst to them of course. Can her new "friends" help her down the road to redemption?

If not, there's always that other Twilight Sparkle she keeps running into.

Dark times have befallen Equestria.

Starlight Glimmer has betrayed Princess Twilight Sparkle's trust, using her magic and the Cutie Map to force multiple realities to merge. Changeling swarms, Sombra's armies, and nightmarish creatures from the Everfree Forest have overrun Equestria, plunging it into a state of war, confusion, and despair.

Outnumbered, overpowered, and running out of time, Princess Twilight Sparkle comes up with one last, desperate, insane idea to save Equestria:

She recruits heroes that exist in comic books to fight for Harmony.

On hiatus.

One day, while working at Sugar Cube Corner, Pinkie Pie comes to a startling realization.

She has no idea how Fluttershy earns money.

For Pinkie Pie, not knowing something so important about one of her closest friends is intolerable. But when she asks Fluttershy, the only answer she'll give is:

"I do odd jobs."

Now, Pinkie Pie is determined to find out exactly what Fluttershy does to make ends meet...

(Rated Teen for mild risque humor.)

Sweet Leaf is convinced that Crystal Prep students make crystal meth. The rest of the Eco Kids have other ideas. Together, they are going to find out what exactly Crystal Preppers do with their time. You might even say they are unearthing secrets. Get it? Because earth and eco-kids- nevermind.
