Five years of cheap thrills in the big city has left Sweetie Belle in bad debt with dangerous ponies. Forced to pay up, she returns to Ponyville to seek money from an estranged sister she loathes with a passion.
Stargazer, a perfectly normal Canterlot mare, goes to have a perfectly normal chat with Celestia about changelings. Purely for academic reasons, of course. Okay, so most of that was a lie.
Sunset Shimmer is about to see her former teacher again for the first time in a long time... and she has something important to say. (Finalist in the "Forbidden Knowledge" writeoff event)
All Celestia ever wanted was to be on the sun control team, but the North is freezing, sinister schemes are in motion, and her world needs heroes – before it's too late.
A tale in the Berylverse. Meanwhile, a reality away, Sunset Shimmer's life has changed since she met Princess Twilight...and it's about to change even more, whether she likes it or not.

An alternate ending to “The Roots of All Evil Pt 2.” What if that confrontation between Misty and Opaline in Zephyr Heights went differently? What if Misty was able to break through Opaline’s stubbornness for a moment and actually reform her…?
Thousands of years ago, three youngsters roamed the wilds together. Many things happened. Some were good, but others are better off forgotten. There are plenty of those. One has just resurfaced, one that Celestia would rather forget.
