The whole school saw Sunset Shimmer's demonic form get hit by the Elements of Harmony, and half a second later she was in a smoking crater in the ground, sobbing and repentant. From Sunset's perspective, her change of heart took a bit more time.

Genre is... not well-suited but to be perfectly honest that's the closest it's gonna get. Think of it as a missing scene.

With the defeat of the sirens and her subsequent acceptance at school, Sunset Shimmer had thought her life had made a turn for the better.

She thought it would be easy to simply forget the Dazzlings.

However, a run-in with Sonata Dusk brings in another perspective on the whole Battle of the Bands episode, one Sunset had never really stopped to contemplate.

After all, it takes one monster to understand another...
Right?

It’s Fall Formal again, the last one they will have before they graduate. But even after almost three years and saving the world, Sunset’s still haunted by bad memories and pain that date brings to her... But this year, something changed. Because that certain girl’s there, and she doesn't has a pair yet. Maybe Sunset just needed someone to ease her pain. And that dork was there for her.

This story is a sequel to Shadowbolts Adventures: The Sound of Silence

During a lazy night alone at Twilight Sparkle's house watching a movie, Sunset Shimmer feels the time is right to deepen her relationship with Twilight. But when she makes her move, Twilight is caught off-guard, and it could mean the end of their friendship if they can't figure out exactly where they stand.

Fluttershy and Sunset's friends think its high time the meeker girl stops feeding on her girlfriend so much.

Written for the Sunset Shipping Contest. Also inspired by Wubcake's reading of Sunlight by The Albinocorn.

A pony Sunset Shimmer wronged before leaving Equestria is back for revenge, and is insisting Sunset come to confront her alone. Can Sunset help the wayward mare? Can Sunset use the magic of friendship without any friends around? Is Sunset an alicorn? Well, do you see any wings?

Just one week out from her demonic transformation and subsequent rainbow friendship blast to the face, Sunset Shimmer needs a new leather jacket, as her old one (seen here) was destroyed. Reluctantly, she goes to the closest clothier to her home: the infamously uptight Carousel Boutique. Making matters tougher, she must deal face to face with a girl she badly hurt. Can friendship take root even after three years of hatred and distrust?

This is the prequel story for Sunset's Recovery Arc.

At first, Wallflower Blush was excited to visit Equestria with Sunset Shimmer. Then she saw what her girlfriend became on the other side of the mirror. And what Wallflower didn't.

How could Sunset want to be with a person—or a pony—like her?

Takes place prior to Equestria Girls: Spring Breakdown and Season 9.

Written for, and inspired by, my girlfriend Scampy, whose Wallflower stories are far better than this.

Written to this song.

Sunset sits alone in a coffee shop, nervously awaiting her friends' arrival. Despite everything they've been through in the last few months, she can't help but feel like she was making a huge mistake. For what she was about to tell them could make or break their friendship.
