When Applejack needs an extra hand around the farm during harvest season, Sunset Shimmer is the only one of the girls who has time to help.

During the long hours of work and play, they grow closer, learn more about each other, and discover what family means to each of them.

In Equestria, the only season ponies can experience until they meet their soul mate is winter. When Sunset crossed over to the human world, she met her soul mate, and was able to experience the other seasons. The problem is, she isn't in Equestria anymore, and her soul mate is human.

And Sunset doesn't want to force that onto Rarity when to humans, the term soul mate applies to something that isn't real.

Now with Reading by Wubcake

A lot of time has passed since the last time Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends have had to overtake evil. Without any threats, it's finally time to settle down.

As the ponies go about their lives, Twilight can't help but notice that things are changing. Young ones are growing, long-time goals are being fulfilled, and some ponies are starting to see each other in a new light. Twilight finds herself adjusting to these changes quietly and alone... or she would be alone, were it not for a certain sun-emblazoned book. Twilight is soon to find herself going through the motions as well.

Rated T for swears and some mentions and implications of gross bed things.

Two magical prodigies cast in Twilight's shadow stumble about in somepony else's story and try to find meaning in their lives.

An affectionate parody of Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.
Which is in itself an absurdist and existentialist parody of Hamlet.

Princess Twilight Sparkle is a teacher, a ruler, and the occasional savior of Equestria, and she loves it. Her jobs can be rewarding and fulfilling, but they can also be a bit exhausting. Hearing her friend is feeling a little worn out from all the responsibilities she has, Sunset Shimmer offers Twilight a holiday together across the portal in the human world. No evil magic, no intramural sports, and no one else. Just the two of them spending the entire day together.

First story in the Rays of SunLight series.

Candy Heart knew she wasn’t a normal pony. Between her unmatched intellect and unshakable ambition, she knew she was destined for greatness. She was destined to be the best, and once the incantation was complete she truly would be: everything holding her back, from loneliness to regret to remorse, would be gone. She’d be free, and she’d be unstoppable.

Except that isn’t what happened.

Instead, two more ponies came into being. This is their story.

Takes place prior to Season One

It's been a few weeks since Starlight Glimmer nearly destroyed all of time and space, and she hasn't gone outside since. At least, not until she receives an invitation from Princess Celestia to meet for tea. This can't be good.

Thanks to Haze and Monokeras for pre-reading.

Sunset has a crush on Twilight. The problem is, she seems to have a type: people who are incredibly powerful, have some measure of authority and power in their positions, and still have very sweet personalities.

And Twilight is far more powerful and popular than Flash ever was.

But it's okay. It's not like Twilight likes her back, right? Right.
