Sunset Shimmer has ended up wasting both of her previous oppotunities to find a new home in both universes, and with Anon-a-miss looming, will she ever get another chance?
Will she finally find somewhere to go?
And now, she is facing more of her past than ever before. But are things really as they seem, despite an all too familiar face telling her it isn't so?

Self harm is limited to Prologue, but mentions of it will continue through story.

And fair warning, the first half of this story is fairly badly written. I promise it gets better!
Edit from author over a year later: it does get better, but not by that much. Really not that well written overall, so be warned!

Burning Sunset's "A Second Chance to Find Home" is dead, and while I certainly don't want to copy their work, I wouldn't mind to see it have an ending.
Please bear in mind that this story will be substantially different, so it is by no means a replacement, or a copy of any kind. Maybe think of this as an AU to the original story.

This story is a sequel to Long Road to Friendship

Once upon a time, Sunset Shimmer was a terrible person. Then a pretty purple princess punched her with a rainbow.

She didn't get better.

Now she's stuck in a redemption story. Only she doesn't want to be redeemed. And it's barely a story. Can Sunset survive this satirical retelling of her rise from the ashes?

Well, she doesn't really have a choice.

This is a parody. If you haven't read the original, read that first. It's marginally better than this.

I regret nothing!

Forsaken to these frozen mountains, her life is dwindling.
She is happily bitter, content to die alone.
Until they found her.
And cared for her more than anyone could.

An entry composed far too late to properly enter the Sunset X Villain AU competition.

Thank you, reading my story. I hope you find it enjoyable.

The sirens are defeated and Sunset Shimmer has restored her magic. All's well and good, right?

Of course not. What begins with Sunset's friends wanting to have a very important talk with her will escalate until the fate of at least one world hangs in the balance.

The Story Shuffle short stories "Aftershock" and "Rock On" take place in the same continuity as this story. The background details of "Fish Out of Water" apply, but the story itself does not.

This story is a sequel to Bulletproof Heart: Sunset at Little Longhorn

She's put it off for seasons, but at last Rarity is following Spike's suggestion and visiting Manehattan. There resides the Arcaenum, where a certain mage of ill repute may be able to help her better understand Coco's gift. But before that, there's the little matter of a filly with a lost sister to clear up.

Why is Trixie so nervous to leave her home? Why won't Scootaloo go to the Manehattan Guard for this? And why does Rarity allow herself to keep getting dragged into these things?

A big thanks to Little Tigress for the commissioned art!

No prereaders this time. It took so long to finish this that I was just ready to release, typos and plot holes be darned! If you see any issues, feel free to PM me about them.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

Midnight Sparkle has left a lot behind in her quest for the secrets of power, beyond the constraints of the Jedi Order she once served. She has answered the call of the dark, and in doing so, abandoned her old identity and purged her old connections with painful finality.

Yet as she seeks the knowledge of a powerful Jedi holocron that once lay outside her reach, she's confronted by a face she never thought she'd see again...

For those familiar with Star Wars (the story does not require more than a basic knowledge of series lore), this story takes place at an unspecified point in the galaxy's history, and features some creative departures with the canonical depiction of Jedi holocrons.

Prequel Sunset at War out now!

In a game of divine chess, how much does the life and well-being of one pawn matter? In an age of war, magic, and Divine Lords, can even the lowest of Orphans rise to divinity and seize of place in history for themselves? Or, like Icarus, will the Elven Mage Sunset Shimmer plummet into the endless abyss, her wings burnt away by the fires of her ambition?

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 her day of drinking at the saloon, the gang leader finds out she is being kicked out of the gang she established. In the most unceremonious way possible as well... After all is said and done, Adagio finally realizes her own feelings for Sunset Shimmer and decides that she has to keep on living just to see her one more time.

Hello, everyone! This little short story is an entry into the Sunset x Villain Period Piece contest! I know I'm cutting it a little close, but that's because I really struggled coming up with a story idea I would actually like to write. This story is inspired by Red Dead Redemption, a video game I played a lot when I was younger and I highly recommend you do so too! It has a great story and entertaining characters, so it is worth one playthrough, even if you don't like shooting games!
