This story is a sequel to Lectern’s New and Used Books: Summer Break

A Twin Canterlots story—first in the Cook’s Tour series

When the nation hosting the portal terminus at Canterlot High School finds out about it, and the fiery-haired young woman who isn’t what she seems, what do the Powers That Be do about it? Why, send shiny new foreign service officer Cookie Pusher to investigate, of course.

Cook receives his initial briefing some seven months after “Through the Mirror” and less than a month after “Rainbow Rocks”—early in season five.

A Twin Canterlots anthology—first in the Lectern’s Books series

It’s good to find new hang-outs and not see the same old places constantly. Sci-Twi suggests Lectern’s New and Used Books—a pretty nice place with a pretty nice owner. It even has a front room and a back patio set up to hang out in.

Interior plans and pictorial views of the store and its lot are available.

Set during the summer vacation between the girls’ junior and senior years at CHS—latter half of season five.

Sunset and her friends are delighted to finally see a concert rolling through Canterlot for local talents and famous singers.

The Rainbooms arrive after being the lucky band out of the local talents given a full-access backstage pass, but when they start to tour the aisles near the famous artists, staff members keep confusing Sunset for another singer who's on site. Even weirder, is that they keep asking why she's looking at them.

It turns out that on the exact same day that an Equestrian friend had come over to join them with some time off, not only is Starlight Glimmer's human counterpart there, as an assistant to a famous singer ...

Sunset's is also there as well.

This story is a sequel to A Tale of Two Suns, Book 1: The Two Suns

Sunset Shimmer's life has taken a rather large turn since her "mother," Sunny Skies, came to Canterlot City. But while Sunset's problems with Child Protective Services may have been solved, life is not exactly calm for the ex-unicorn.

While Sunset and her friends try to deal with a new round of troubles amidst school and average teenage life, new and terrible dangers rise on the other side of the mirror.

Swimming Lessons

After the Friendship Games, life at CHS has settled down. No more magical villains to face, or impending disasters. Sunset and the others can go back to living as normal teenage girls. Or as close to normal as a group of magically empowered girls and a former unicorn from another universe can anyway.

But when Sunset gets into trouble, someone she never expected comes to help her, and her life will never be the same ever again.

After Principal Celestia finds out about Sunset's living conditions, she calls a friend. Hopefully, she'll look after her.

Takes place after Fall Formal.

A long time ago Sunset left Equestria through the mirror into a new world. Across the mirror she became a villain hell bent on conquering a high school but then she was saved by another pony turned human and five close friends from the human world. Years have passed and she's faced her past, all but her darkest secret and greatest regret, the Sunset Shimmer of the world she invaded.

One day, Twilight Sparkle discovers something amazing about her friend Sunset Shimmer.

She's a magical talking pony!

This requires investigation! Science! Possibly a full-body physical!

Or maybe Twilight will just ask her what's up with that.

Rated Teen for frank discussions about... y'know.
