Ancient Greece: A land of gods, heroes, monsters... and very few roles for women beyond wife and housekeeper.

In other words, it's a pretty terrible place and time for a renegade student of Princess Celestia to find herself. But Sunset Shimmer is nothing if not determined and resourceful. She will bend this world to her will.

That's the plan, anyway. Given how the heliocentric model is still a few millennia away from wide acceptance, maybe she can settle for finding happiness.

Winner of the Sunset x Villain Period Piece contest.

After a night out drinking, Sunset Shimmer wakes up in an unfamiliar bed. It takes some time and help from the woman next to her to reconstruct the events that had led her there.

EDIT: My first story to be featured on the front page! 🎶

The student six order from the drive-thru. Smolder wanted a burger, but everyone else agreed on tacos.

If this performs well, I will write a stoner chapter.

Inspired by the weird anomaly that is semillon.

In the midst of her musings, Luna asks a strange favor from a historical expert.

For Zontan, who's pretty cool I guess. Art by Cereal!

Peace, love, and understanding are paradoxically precious things. The more they're needed, the harder they are to come by. And they are very much needed as Chrysalis's war swarms sweep Equestria, seeking out any lingering pockets of resistance after their queen's victory at the Princess of Food's wedding.

Meanwhile, Tree Hugger is still a few minutes away from fully processing that there's a problem.

A refined version of the second place entry in Everfree Northwest 2022's Iron Author contest. Prompt: Write a story with a guru, a guerilla, and a gaffe. Rated Teen for grim atmosphere typical of a Glimmer splinter and violence beyond what was implied.

Trixie visits her credit union to calmly and rationally dispute a charge on her account. Starlight is there too.

Loosely based on an idea tossed around between Gay for Gadot and myself. Written in two hours (on my phone lol) for the EFNW Iron Author contest, where it won an honorable mention!

This version has been edited to be more gay than the contest version \o/

Years ago, Princess Twilight Sparkle of Equestria helped show a group of humans the magic of friendship, and they've never forgotten how much it meant to them. Since then, Twilight has continued to return to visit her friends in their world, and even as her coronation looms large on the horizon, they'd been confident things would work out.

But when a serious malfunction renders the device keeping the portal open useless and seemingly irreparable, Princess Twilight is left struggling to come up with a solution, or even answers. As the possibility that they might never see their old friend in person again grows, the Rainbooms decide to send a series of letters to the Princess, expressing their personal gratitude for the influence she's had in their lives, well-wishes for her rule in Equestria and cautious optimism for the future.

Note this story only considers animated media as canon, and deviates from the depiction of events seen in literary or comic media like The Fall of Sunset Shimmer and Twilight's Sparkly Sleepover Surprise.

Wallflower Blush is absolutely certain of three things:

One, no sane person working on the student government reads her emails.

Two, Strawberry Sunrise reads her emails.

Three, Strawberry Sunrise is a bitch.

Written for the Thousand Words Contest under the category Experimental.

In the midst of a horrifying tragedy, Princess Celestia reflects on her life, on how she could have descended so low, and if recovery is even a possibility.

Written for the A Thousand Words contest, category: fluff.

Oh my stars these two are so adorable with one another but that doesn't stop them from having communication problems. They, like, meet at the mall and do normal deeds there.

This is what happens when you have like three vivid scenes that you can't manage to stitch into a functional story but you realize the one scene wrote again actually finally hits the minimum word count and there's a ready audience (or at least two!) for a small competition that has a deadline really freaking soon…

This is an entry in Second Chances competition hosted by Sunset Shimmer X EG/MLP Villains Shippers's Group and Competitions.
