Sunset Shimmer, once overbearing and rude, is living proof that people can change. When she finds out that the Dazzlings are being expelled from Canterlot High for their crimes, she will make an attempt to understand their past and salvage their future.

Even if she can help only one of them, she believes it's worth it.

Defeated by the Rainbooms, Aria and Adagio finally have enough of Sonata Dusk, and banish her from the group with some incredibly harsh words.

Broken and remorseful of her actions, Sonata sits alone at a cafe, wondering what to do with her life. It is there that she meets a boy who might be able to help her. A boy who might allow her to redeem herself for her actions with the Dazzlings.

A boy who kind of resembles one of her former rivals.

Just some silly shipping that I dreamed up because I honestly can't think of anything else. Seriously, writer's block is baaaad.

Also, Dusk Shine X Sonata Dusk = DuskDusk OTP. Don't deny it.

Seriously. Just try to think of a better ship name than DuskDusk. I dare you.

Also, I totally made a group for it. For realzies.

You work for a taco store that you hate. Your job sucks. You hate your boss. And your very slowly starting to hate your life. But when a new customer catches your eye, it just might lead your lives for the better.

Rated T for Tacos.

Sunset Shimmer isn't exactly fitting in at Canterlot High, but she's changed her ways and is slowly making amends for her past behavior, but she still hasn't grasped all the differences between pony society and human society--a point pressed home when another thing she's taken for granted changes in front of her very eyes.

Set between Equestria Girls and Rainbow Rocks

Are there times you've ever wondered, "Jee, why did the girls at Canterlot High forgive Sunset Shimmer for her evil succubus meddling so easily?"

The answer's simple: "Because, deep down, she's a pretty pretty pony, you stupid melon fudges!"

One day, Rainbow Dash notices something about Sunset Shimmer: she only eats salads, fruit, and non-meat products. So she decides to dare the former pony to try a meat product the next day at lunch. Little do they know what's on the menu that day...

Set in the Equestria Girls universe.

Vice Principal Luna gets a call from Principal Celestia to come to her office.

One problem, though... Celestia's drunk.

When you try and use dark magic to take over Canterlot High, it never ends well.
The Dazzlings lost their powers and were thoroughly embarrassed by Sunset Shimmer, Princess Twilight, and company.

For Sonata, it didn't get much better. Fed up with her inherent ignorance, Adagio takes her frustrations out on Sonata, and kicks her out of the group. With nowhere to go, she winds up wandering the streets. Luckily for her, she wandered into the right place at the right time.

She'll be borrowing someone's kindness for a while.

Will Sonata be able to atone for her mistakes?
Will she be able to make friends?

Author's Note: Originally, I planned to entirely change this. But I realized this provides me with a beautiful opportunity. A chance to explore a world of what-ifs. Sonata being saved by Vinyl after the Battle of the Bands could change the entire timeline from here on out. Let's go.

After the events of Rainbow Rocks, Sonata Dusk and her two companions are cooling their heels at a new school. At lunch one day, a young man is bold enough to ask her out. An ordinary teenage girl and an ordinary teenage boy. As their relationship grows, he learns some of her secrets, and has to come to grips with them.

The Dazzlings are now "harmless, ordinary teenage girls", deprived of their talents of persuasion. They won't stand for this, but will they be able to strike back at those who hurt them? Will they be able to adjust to the normal life? Will they be found out? These girls haven't given their swan songs yet!
