The purpose of Friendship? It eluded Dusk Shine during his time at Crystal Prep. The Friendship Games allowed him a chance due to Cinch convincing him to join but at a devil's bargain. Everything for CPA's reputation. Now what will Dusk Shine learn? Does he gain something? Or will he lost a part of himself to becoming something different? Who will help or corrupt him?

This is my personal touch on The Friendship Games with head canons, OCs and characterization for several characters. Some characters need it.

The tags of the story will be subjected to change as the story develops. Plus I'm putting some tags in advance just to be safe since this is my first time posting on this site.

Enjoy

Being a new kid at a private school is hard. Lucky for you, it's easy to blend into the crowd and lose yourself to the music that makes you feel at home. However, that doesn't mean you wouldn't like someone to talk to during lunch. To hell with romance, it would be nice to just have a friend.

A collection of social interactions.

I can understand a nervousness for the tags depicted in this story. It's mostly for the music being shared. But the music also matters as a part of the narrative.

Will Contain over a Slow Burn of the entire story: Sexually active teenagers with ambiguous ages, but implied they're of age (with no actual 'in book' sex), an attempted realistic depiction of high school stresses, themes of mental health struggles, self-discovery, consequences.

This story is a sequel to To Feel Wanted

After some introspection, Sour is ready to tell her friends that she and Lemon had been dating. This called for celebrations, and one of her friends decides to gift them something tangible. A nice commision from a popular artist.

Since the friendship games, Sour Sweet has been making an effort to stick with her new crew of friends. However in opening up more and socializing...she's learned more about her rapid mood swings. Her friends are supportive and after an instance where she almost hurt someone...was given proper help. She hates taking the medicine each day. It eats at her. Why isn't she normal?

Well...luckily she doesn't face this alone. More so when her metalhead friend catches her in an emotional state. Lemon may not be the best equipped for this...but she'll be damned if Sour suffers in silence.

Lemon cares too much about her to let her hurt without trying to help.

This story is a sequel to Sour Sweet's Problem

Having gotten a better handle on her mental health, Sour finds herself with some spare time to work on some stuff and just relax. Until Lemon drops by.

Can Sour muster the courage to tell her girlfriend just how helpful she's been these past few months?

Cover art was done by Opheo, she's always been really awesome to chat and now to work with! Commissions are open on her end if you're interested!
(Some folks may recognize that art style, you can thank her for my interest in the Shadow Bolts )

This story is a sequel to Sour Sweet Shorts

Bitter Honey's sixteenth birthday is here, but she's been acting strange. Well, stranger than usual if you ask her best friend, Gretchen. It could be nothing more than some teenage phase. However, considering that Bitter is the daughter of Sour Sweet, someone with a past of dealing with mental conditions, things may become far more serious.

While cleaning up Twilight Sparkle's former laboratory, Lemon Zest stumbles upon a bag containing an unknown white powdery substance. Hijinks ensue when she discovers what it actually does!

Contains: Nudity, suggestive themes, drug references.

Update 11/6/2020: I finally got around to drawing a cover image!

Sour Sweet is really tired of being single so she allows Twilight to set her up on a blind date with a girl she knows. Little did Sour Sweet know that when she arrived at her date it would be with a girl she recognized all too well.

This story is a sequel to The Elements of the Crystal Empire

Note: this book will take place following this timeline, not canon.

Sunset Shimmer's pretty content with her life. She's the Bearer of the Element of Magic, the Crown Regent of the Crystal Empire, and has a great group of friends to fall back on when times get rough.

She thinks that her life will return to being pretty normal - well, as normal as it can get with all those titles and the publicity.

She's wrong.

She's very, very wrong.

In fact, there is no such thing as normal life in Crystallia, capital city of the Crystal Empire. Who in Equus put such a dangerous idea inside your head?

Original story idea was Alphamon_Ouryuken's.

Long ago in the magical land of Equestria, the righteous King Sombra ruled the Crystal Empire in peace, but there was a time when three others also ruled along side him. Chrysalis, his beloved - who went into hiding because of a curse placed on her - along with Celestia and Luna - who sadly became drunk on their own power, and he was forced to banish.

A thousand years later, his prized student Sunset Shimmer is given the task of make sure the Crystal Faire goes as it should, as well become more social with the citizens, but sadly that task is derailed by the disappearance of the Crystal Heart, and the return of Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon!

Now Sunset must find a way to stop the two tyrannical Queens before they bring the Empire to ruin! But she might need a little help . . . from the most unexpected sources . . .
