Starburst, the daughter of Princess Twilight Sparkle and Prince Flash Sentry, has about all she could ask from life: loving parents, her Little Brother Best Friend Forever, and despite her seriousness and disciplined mentality, she has group of friends close as family. She also has an ambitious goal in life: she wants to be the first mare ever to become the Captain of the Royal Guard, which she's been preparing herself for since she was a little filly.

So... what would happen if she were to meet a pony that is an exact opposite of her?

After the events of Forgotten Friendship, Sunset Shimmer is looking forward to some nice down time. And there's no way she would rather spend it with a good book, especially one borrowed from Equestria. However, the name of the book may cause some concern among her friends.

(Contains dark humor)

This story is a sequel to The Calming Christmas Flame

Short micro-shot between The Calming Christmas Flame and its upcoming sequel. Happy Valentine's Day!

Twilight Sparkle is engaged to Sunset Shimmer. Thankfully, they get the Sparkle house to themselves, ensuring Sunset's antics don't lead to embarrassing "walk-in" scenarios. Even so, Twilight happens to "walk-in" on Sunset and her pajamas.

Sunset Shimmer has been living a reformed life for quite some time now. Whether by fate or random chance, she wound up in a serious relationship with the Twilight of the human world. She's content with where she is and has never been happier to be accepted and loved. In fact, she hopes that this Christmas will give her the opportunity to express how deeply she feels for Twilight.

NOTES
1. Sunlight fluff for the holidays.
2. Third consecutive year for me producing a Christmas special!
3. Post Rainbow Rocks. Featuring EqG-world Twilight. I could have written volumes to explain backstory but c'mon. It's a fluff-shot.

“Wait, you killed me?”

“I’m pretty sure you were at least clinically dead for a couple minutes. So technically, yes.”

Takes place directly after the Twilight vs. Raven Death Battle. Spoilers for that, in case that wasn’t obvious.

This story is a sequel to Empty Skies

With the Crusaders facing their punishments after the Anon-a-Miss incident, Sunset Shimmer finds herself with a new home, a new job, and a new group of friends: the Wondercolts soccer team. But as Sunset normally finds, things aren't always quiet and peaceful in the city of Canterlot.

A series of (mostly) one-shots set in the "Clipper!verse" before or between the events of Empty Skies and the Friendship Games later that spring.

And pssst, thanks to the incredible Gpizano for the cover!

Girls' Night

Anon-a-miss, the mysterious gossiper, plagues CHS. Caught as the perfect scapegoat, Sunset finds herself more shunned than ever before. While determined to clear her name, Sunset decides that first she needs a break. From everything. Back in the place she used to call home.

But as soon as Sunset leaves, her friends at CHS realize the depth of their mistake. Not just in accusing Sunset, but also in forgetting Sunset is not like any other human. As they try with all their might to earn back their friend's trust, they quickly come to learn that they know very little about Sunset and the world she hails from.

And worse for the girls, as Sunset begins to pick up the shards of her old life in Equestria, she begins to wonder whether she really wants to stay at CHS at all.

Anon-a-Miss.

Just thinking about it made Morning Star and Shadow Wings' stomachs turn. In four days, a single account had turned Canterlot High on its head once again. Students were fighting in the hallways and cafeteria, breaking off friendships and mocking one another. No one knows who started it, but all fingers are pointing at the most likely suspect: Sunset Shimmer.

The problem is, those fingers are all wrong. Sunset Shimmer is not the culprit behind Anon-a-Miss and it's up to Shadow and Star to find out who is before Winter Break arrives. Working against the clock, the duo have to investigate the goings-on leading up to Anon-a-Miss as well as interrogate the first targets of the cursed account.

"I've said it once, and I'll say it again. High school is literal torture..."

~.~.~
Sex tag for innuendos and violence tag for some punches being thrown.

Written for Diamond Sword. Happy Holiday Season!

This story is a sequel to Anon-a-Miss

It's been almost half a year since the events that took place on Mystable.
Most of the students at CHS have learned from the incident, vowing to do whatever it takes to atone.
Meanwhile, there are others who refuse to let go, still consumed by thoughts of revenge.

Apart from these two groups, there is one student in particular who was changed entirely.
