This idea came to my head after reading two Stories from a use LucidDreamer. Where Sunset's demonic look is less due to her being evil or corrupted and more something that is natural for her. However due to a fear of any further rejection after the events of the fall formal she keeps this knowledge to herself till she meets some old friends from years back. Can these six help her get her pride back?

Rating of Teen due to profanity and Narcotics are more mentioned in past tenes for one of the characters.

This story is a sequel to Played for a Foal

Knowledge of the previous story is not required.

The tale of how Anon, a human completely unrelated to the Crystal Empire's royal family, came to be known as Flurry Heart's uncle is a long one. The important part is that Flurry, now sixteen years old, sees him as a role model. She admires his sense of freedom and his carefree outlook on life. That's what she wants for herself, too. Unfortunately, her parents seem dead set on forcing her to be a picture perfect princess.

Ugh, growing up sucks.

EFNW 2023 Iron Author Entry.

Sonata has a rough and tragic backstory involving her biological parents, after their quick and sudden passing, she moved in with her non-biological sisters Adagio and Aria. Now, she's having some troubles sleeping at night due to the images she keeps seeing in her mind, problem is, she won't tell anybody what's going on or what she sees because it makes her uncomfortable. Will one of her sisters be able to give her some peace of mind so she's able to sleep soundly?

This story explains the way I view the relationship of The Dazzlings, while I do view them as sisters, I do not view them as biological siblings, rather instead, I view them as three people who have lived together for so long that they just refer to one another as sisters, but they aren't related at all. Hope that makes sense.

TRIGGER WARNING:
This story does contain the mention of car crashes and passing of one's parents, if those topics bother you in any way, or you have been personally affected by something like that, please read at your own risk. Thank you.

This story is a sequel to Night Rose

Nothing has been the same for Roseluck since her whirlwind trip to Marecelona months ago. Memories of the Tablao Rosa, and the incredible, unexpected romance she found within its walls, fill her dreams. Frustrated with work and distracted by visions of the past, she visits one of Canterlot's hottest nightclubs to dance away the stress.

But a chance meeting may hold the key to reconnecting to a piece of herself she thought was left behind forever.
