In this world, Sunset Shimmer is not the reformed student we know, but the charismatic and feared leader of a rock band called "The Sirens' Curse." Along with her bandmates-alternate and darker versions of Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy-she dominates the music and social scene at Canterlot High. Her power is not limited to music; through her voice and guile, she manipulates students, teachers and even political figures.

However, beneath this bad-girl facade, Sunset hides a secret: her true identity as a girl in love with Adagio.

In this world, she was altered by a time-altering magic. So the roles change in every sense of the idea.

This story is for the contest of: Sunset x Villain Monster-Shipping Contest.

In the cold tundra sent off to find an artifact for Twilight Sparkle, Tempest Shadow travels the cold land. But in an unknow place along her path Tempest finds a strange obsidian crystal. Even stranger is that the crystal can speak.

This story is a sequel to Who Is That?

"What?" Everyone shouted and I winced. I really should have seen that coming.

How the topic of everyone's relationship statuses got brought up, I blame Rarity. I really should have known she would have been the most annoyed at me keeping the fact I wasn't single hidden from her.

The wild, unsettled lands of Equestria are littered with ruins. Ancient temples, tombs, and testaments to long dead groups of ponies who decided to pass on the whole "Unification" fad and lost that gamble in Ozymandian fashion.

Some are filled with powerful lost magic relics. Others are overflowing with gold and treasure. (If you believe the legends, at least.)

There exist only a rare selection ponies who know how to safely delve these deathtraps to recover these lost pieces of history (and less still who would willingly accompany them).

But for these brave or foolish few, there is nothing more rewarding.

Inky Rose doesn't really interact with other ponies all that much. But that doesn't mean she doesn't ever leave the house, and underground shows are exactly her scene.

But the last thing she expected to find at a show like this is Troubleshoes, who looks like he wouldn't know the difference between a goth and a punk if his life depended on it.

Written for the 2024 May Pairings Contest.

Shortly before extracting the Pillars of Equestria and the Pony of Shadows from Limbo, the Bearers of Harmony faced off against a stallion trying to erase all records of an ancient evil, lest that knowledge fall into the wrong hooves.

Nopony ever considered that the two incidents might have been related. Not until Stygian's first novel hit store shelves.

Rated Teen for implied concepts a bit more grim than what the show could get away with.

All I did was wish for my life to be more interesting. And now I'm in a magical land where it's inhabitants think I'm probably evil. Plus, I'm getting armor of my favorite superhero, and am looking for the princess's protege, why? To convince everyone I'm her cousin of course! ... I think I bit off more than I could chew.

(First fic. Let's see how it goes! Criticism is welcome.)
