Sunset Shimmer had everything. Personal protégé of the Sun Princess herself, top marks in the School for Gifted Unicorns, and the honor of being dubbed the greatest arcanist since Starswirl the Bearded.

Until she threw it all away.

In the last moments before leaving Equestria forever, her destiny is snatched away right before her eyes. Once upon a time the story of the lives of herself, Twilight Sparkle, and the path of Equestrian History went one way, a story that we all know well. But in every stand of woods there is a path untrotted, one with a different story and new experiences.

New cover by DVixie. If someone knows how to contact them I'd be appreciative. It more accurately portrays the current evolution of the story.

Arc One, Filly Steps: Complete.
Arc Two, What Twilight Learned Today: In Progress.

The brown note is legendary among researchers and common folks alike as a source of intrigue and comedy.

For Clockwork, an earth pony whose real talent lies in repairing nearly anything, it’s been a never ending source of pain and isolation. Seeking a quiet place to spend the rest of her days, she closes her humble mechanical repair shop in Canterlot and moves to Ponyville. Unbeknownst to her, Ponyville is anything but quiet, and a chance encounter with its resident alicorn sets her life on a course she could never imagine.

Despite the name, this fic features no explicit content. This started as a mini-crackfic that eventually turned into legitimate romance story. Takes place before Starlight Glimmer is reformed.

It's been over a year since Anon-A-Miss,the frame up, Gilda stealing Rainbow Dashes phone, that cold, cold night...

The gang at CHS have lived with the guilt of their actions, relieved that Sunset survived but desperate to break the ice wall she built between them.

Just when they thought hope was lost, Sunset contacted them and later agreed to meet with them.

And now some choice words will be given.

Based on the Anon-A-Miss genre made popular by Dainn, a type of fic I don't believe I've ever seen before.

When a major magical mishap leaves Discord homeless and seemingly without his powers, he gets it in his head that he can simply stay with Twilight until he has somewhere else to go. He's rather insistent, too.

But hey, having an annoying and presumptuous roommate that causes ridiculous and unpredictable things to happen all around them simply by existing can't be all that terrible, can it?

...on second thought, maybe don't answer that. Just pray she doesn't end up falling in love with the fool.

This story is a sequel to Failure of Friendship

Thanks to the events of Anon-A-Miss, Sunset is no longer a Canterlot High School Wondercolt. She still desires to finish her studies, and accepts the assistance of the Sirens in getting enrolled at the other school in Canterlot, Crystal Preparatory Academy. There, she has to deal with all sorts of new drama, from faces both new and familiar, as she struggles to not get wrapped up in the status quo of the Academy.

During a climatic battle, a panicked magical blast from Twilight results in Chrysalis receiving a crippling wound. Twilight dedicates herself to Chrysalis' recovery and, hopefully, redemption.

As Twilight will soon learn, Chrysalis' frozen heart is one that won't easily be melted.

Side story

When a human and his home land in Equestria, his love of speed quickly draws a few ponies to him, most notably Princess Luna. But her own desires and secrets soon begin to create, starting with a failed spell that leaves her and Anonymous in each other's bodies for a time. Anonymous narrowly escapes the mental torture Nightmare Moon has in store, lying in wait in the back of Princess Luna's mind, her absence setting the fiend free. But things do not go back to normal when the spell is reversed....

Why suddenly can he and Luna speak to each other telepathically? How is it possible for him to walk alongside Luna in the dream realm? Perhaps worse, someone comes calling not long after....

====================

Originally posted as an Anon in Equestria short based on my own love of cars (and Luna), I started this story as a little thing to pass the time of a hot summer and being stuck in the only air conditioned room of the house. Three years later, this story has gone way beyond an automotive tale, and I'm still going at it, for better or for worse.

For anyone that has followed me and my pastebin, this story is the same, but I have combined some chapters and (obviously) rewritten it and given it a little polish from its original greentext style.

As the sun sets and the moon rises, an innocent and young being shall rise as an extraordinary monster. She lurks in the night, hunting for her prey. She is a being that possesses strength, speed and the strongest of senses known to man.

However, during the daytime, she's the best friend to many.
