Romance takes time and effort and some people tend to overthink all the steps.
Thus we present the key moments that finally lead to Sunset Shimmer and Pinkie Pie getting together.

This piece was written in one go during an afternoon of listening to love songs and contains:
writer self-indulgence, lack of proofreading, pining, friends of varying helpfulness

No one gets along with Pinkie better than herself. This only proves further true when she meets her human counterpart, and they form a kinship comparable only to the love they both have for their families.

However, they inevitably come to learn the relationship they have for their respective families may be more different than they would have guessed.

It's been a few months since the Battle of the Bands, and Adagio Dazzle is trying her best to become one of the "good guys." Sure, she won't wear any pajamas that aren't ninety percent see-through. And yeah, she can't stop threatening to kick puppies. But still, she's trying!

A week before her first Hearth's Warming, Adagio finds herself facing the most ridiculous task of her life: teaching Pinkie Pie the true meaning of the holiday season. Now, armed with nothing but her wits and a lot of alcohol, Adagio must save Hearth's Warming for the woman she loves doesn't hate as much as everyone else.

Ever since she was a filly, Nightmare Night has been Sunset Shimmer's favorite holiday. After all, who doesn't love dressing up and getting free candy?

When Twilight reveals that she's never gone trick-or-treating, Sunset decides that she needs to prove once and for all how absolutely amazing the holiday can be—even if it means she has to drag Twilight along kicking and screaming.

This story is a sequel to Equestria Girls: A Fairly Odd Friendship

Featured October 8, 2020

At recess, Timmy learns from his best alien friend, Mark Chang, that a rogue element of the Yugopatamian army wants to destroy the planet.

That wouldn't be an issue...were Cosmo and Wanda's wands not undergoing a tune up.

But thankfully, Timmy Turner has another ace up his sleeve: something pink, bubbly, and very, very annoying.

Normally, someone would balk at being sent to fight a hostile alien race. But Pinkie isn't scared. She loves making new friends.

Pinkie barges into Sunset's apartment early in the morning with an urgent request.

A little story I used to put my headcanon about how time works between the main series and the Equestria Girls sub-series. It's a discussion of why Sunset is so young despite being older than Princess Twilight, as well as why timeliness don't always match up between the two.

This story is a sequel to Check Mates

Three weeks into their road trip, Sunset and Pinkie Pie enjoy a day at the massive Infinity Mall. While waiting for the show to start; the pair indulge in food, shopping and an impromptu dance off at the arcade.

Everybody agrees that Sunset Shimmer is the best Smirker in Canterlot High. Well, almost everybody. There are some people who think they smirk better, and are willing to challenge her during the Smirking Contest. They are definitely not prepared to handle Sunset and her smirk.

*Contains*: A lot of smirks

Why is art so precious? Because is beautiful, silly!

It makes you want to stare at it whenever you can. It can make you find feelings you didn’t know you could feel. Even if you can’t understand it, it’s comforting to have it close. Maybe that was the reason why Pinkie couldn’t stop painting that same face over and over again, it was the very definition of art!

A spiritual successor to: You Know You Want to
