Aria Blaze, while walking home from work, meets the Canterlot Movie Club as they plan to frame Sunset Shimmer for posting embarrassing secrets. She gives them some free, unsolicited advice that makes them reconsider several important things...

Rated T for some mild language.

Shortly after the events of of the Battle of the Bands, Sunset Shimmer is surprised to find the Dazzlings struggling to survive without their magic in the human realm. Feeling guilty over their impoverished state, she offers help to them, on the condition that they give friendship a try. When Aria accepts, she finds that being friends with Sunset suits her well, and she soon realizes just how lonely she has been all this time.

Lunch time is one of the more normal times at CHS. All the students come together at about the same time to do the same thing, and the odd breaking into song notwithstanding, not much really changes about that. It is, after all, lunch time. It’s when you eat lunch. Then you carry on with your day. Kinda hard to mess up.

So, one day, Aria Blaze decides to eat some lunch.

Being the eldest sibling is hard, especially when you have no parents to raise your younger sisters. In this story, that's just the case in Adagio Dazzle's life. Unlike the Dazzlings we've come to see so far, this Adagio and her sisters have always lived on Earth, showing just a peak into the human counterparts' lives. During a normal night at home, Adagio has to remember the thoughts of her mother, all while keeping her promise to keep her sisters happy. Life can be unfair at times...

This oneshot has been on my mind a lot and I've been wanting to make this into a full fledged story, but I want to see how my audience reacts to this type of prompt before I write something like it~ Please tell me what you think of this dynamic and enjoy the show! P.S. This story now has a sequel called Dreams and Reality!

This story is a sequel to A Dazzling Reformation

So much has happened during Spring Break. Sunset Shimmer found The Dazzlings living under a bridge, people found love, and The Dazzlings decided to become reformed. At first, they weren't going to go back to school.

But time has changed, and so have they. The Rainbooms and The Dazzlings came up with a plan to prove to the school that the three ex-sirens have changed, and they are determined to make it work. Sounds simple, right?

But what about Sonata's little problem...

Sunset Shimmer weathered the storm. She returned from the darkest depths, and now she has good friends. People like her.

If I haven't sunk too far myself… maybe she'll help me. Then I can help Sonata and Aria.

Please, Sunset.

Thanks to Present Perfect for his help.
