Princess Twilight and Rarity are dating.

The other Rarity in Twilight's life isn't quite sure how she feels about any of this.

Twilight Sparkle has cast loose the magic of Equestria and has been corrupted into a being that craves knowledge, no matter the cost. So, it’s up to Sunset Shimmer to save the day, right?

Yeah, about that…

This story is a sequel to It's Not Fine

Sunset’s world ended, and she almost lost herself to the darkness that followed. But with Fluttershy’s love and friendship, she managed to survive. Months later, Sunset is in therapy and making strides to reclaim some of her old life. However, there’s still a shadow that swirls in her heart, a shadow that she believes can only be lifted by visiting Twilight’s grave.

Note: You don't have to read the previous story to understand what's happening in this one.

Based in the world of Equestria, Sunset Shimmer is the adopted daughter of Princess Celestia, and her only personal student. Until now.

When I moved to Ponyville, I was lost. Then I met her, and I began to realise that there was more to my cutie mark than I could have possibly imagined.

Thank you three for being my intrepid pre-readers and editors!

Twilight is preparing for her first date with Sunset, and she really doesn't want her friends to know about it. Of course, they find out anyway and distract her from her preparations. But then, finally, it's time for the date to begin...

Fluttershy often listens to the secrets of friends and others around her. Most days, she doesn't mind at all. But secrets carry their own hidden weight.

Thank you to Tsitra, Yossarian, Delta, and Rose Quill for prereading!

Everypony has something they wish that they could take back. A harsh word, a mistaken phrase, things of that nature.

For somepony as ancient as Celestia, there is one such event she can never take back. Nor does she wish to. Even though it meant being limited to what she could do to continue to safeguard her little ponies.

The cost was just too great.

Every Friday, from five in the afternoon to eleven at night, Pinkie Pie does volunteer work. She doesn't have to do it, the world won't stop if she doesn't, but she chooses to do it anyway. Even if it's doing seemingly insignificant little things.

It is a matter of life and death, after all. Literally.

Chrysalis had come a long way from absolutely nothing - a humbled bug-horse left to fend for herself in the howling wilderness. But she's not the pony changeling she used to be, and she's set her hoof upon the path of conquest, for herself, for her crown, and for her children minions.

All she had to do was seize the commanding heights of the pony principalities, and feed her brood upon that endless supply of pony happiness which was her birthright, by all that was villainous!

If only her mother didn't keep tripping her up.
