“Please look after my children.”

Pear Butter’s last words were spoken to the stranger who found their crash: the cruel, otherworldly siren named Adagio Dazzle, who sees in her death a golden opportunity.

What starts as a plan to raise willing minions for sustenance and protection goes… a little differently than Adagio had in mind.

Wallflower not so discreetly invites Sunset to meet up by the sea. It becomes a date in less than a minute. Emotions are shared and sandwiches had.

Years after Anon appeared in Equestria, Sunset Shimmer used a spell to steal every human's names and special talents, to gain unrivaled magic powers. Now everybody's name is literally just ’Anon’. People aren't happy about losing their names.

And Twilight can't use her magic, after the Elements of Harmony turned into the Elements of Anonymity.

Using what they learned from the otherworldly Anon, a nerdy Anon plans to stop Sunset Shimmer, with the help of a group of five friends.

A story about a date near a lake and a story about an adventure to the emerald city!

Blood Bow, unlovingly called Wilted Bloom due to their similar appearence to Apple Bloom, is seen by most of Canterlot High as a dangerous character but no one is brave enough to stop them... they carry knives everywhere for crying out loud!

So what happens when a unhinged person wanders through a statue by accident and ends up meeting their counterpart as a pony? Chaos... lots and lots of chaos. They are both unhinged, what do you expect?

Sgt. Sunset Shimmer is dying. Struck in the stomach by a bullet during the heat of combat, she now lays helpless on a deserted battlefield, the conflict having moved on without her. There's not a living soul around to help her... or so it might seem.

Until she's approached by a being from her past, one that she'd desperately hoped never to see again, a creature to which she has given much and owes much more... and one that might be able to save her life.

Choices, choices...

Error 503: Service Unavailable.

The fabric of reality is currently undergoing maintenance, leaving Anon, Anon, and... a lot of other Anons trapped in a white void. With no other ways to kill time, their only means of entertainment while they wait to be returned to their worlds is each other.

What do Anons even do in their spare time?

Thanks to csos95, Damaged, Raleigh, Samey90, and the rest of the Discord crews for brainstorming.

[Sex] tag probably not necessary, but it's easier to add it than to argue about it.

Error 504: Gateway Timeout

A story was once told of a group of Anons displaced from reality. As their very existences needed a bit of time to re-calibrate, they found solace in the company of each other. However, unbeknownst to them, they were not the only ones experiencing a fatal, reality-ending error. For while they merrily gave each other silly names and drove themselves mad over the course of an excruciatingly long eight minutes, their wives were also having an accidental meet-up.

And it was much more awkward.

For seven-year-old Sunset Shimmer, Hearthʼs Warming is the best thing to ever exist. Thereʼs excellent food, presents, songs and most importantly, Princess Celestia. Her first holiday with her mentor is bound to be the most memorable night of her little life.

For teenage Sunset Shimmer, Hearthʼs Warming is nothing but a waste of time. Time she should be spent studying and getting ahead. She doesnʼt want to spend hours at dinner, especially not with Annoying Pink Princess there. Her last holiday at the castle is one she wonʼt ever forget.

For adult Sunset Shimmer, Hearthʼs Warming is a chance to atone. After years of spending the holidays in the human realm, she finally has a chance to spend one with her mentor again. Especially after the disaster that was her last winter in Equestria. Sheʼs going to
make the most of this second chance.

A tale of love, jealousy and shifting attitudes.
