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.

Limestone Pie: a 20-year-old homeschool graduate who can't imagine life outside of working her father's quarry.

Flash Sentry: an 18-year-old senior at Canterlot High with no bloody clue what he wants to do in life.

On the surface, these two seem like an unlikely pairing. But when a chance encounter over heavy music pulls them into an unexpected love triangle, the pair find a spark of attraction that rocks.

When Sunset saw Sonata Dusk return to CHS and experience a very familiar treatment, she encouraged her friends to reach out to the Dazzlings just as they'd done with her after the Fall Formal.

Several months later, Aria and Sonata have come to discover some joy in their new life-after-magic. Adagio, however, has continued to refuse the offer—out of bitterness, spite and an unwillingness to give those 'rainbooms' the satisfaction of seeing her break.

What she has yet to realize is that clinging to this resentment is hurting no one but herself.

Sirens eat by channeling magical energy through their gems.
The Rainbooms broke the Dazzlings' gems.

...well, who needs food, anyways?

This story is a sequel to To House Sirens

Flash Sentry believed that housing the sirens would have been enough to help them turn their lives around. It was only after having a talk with Adagio that he realized how wrong he was. The weeks that he let them live in his home can't have been for nothing though. There must be a solution that leaves everybody, including Flash himself, happy.

Can one be truly happy, however, with their past mistakes seemingly always on their mind?

Hey dad,

I got a real tough favor to ask you. I have this friend who's sorta down on her luck at the moment. I was wondering if maybe we could let her stay at the house with me until she gets back on her feet. I'm sure it wouldn't be for too long. With a little help I'm confident that she'll be able to turn her life around pretty quick. So what do you say?
