Okay, Sunset. You've now seen how low your double is willing to sink to get what she wants and how much she's willing to lie to you, your friends, and herself to justify it. She's not good. Even she knows that.

It's time to walk away from her. She's not worth it. She's not worth the dirt under your nails.

Well... this whole thing has not only gone off the rails, but it's on another track. Which is hilarious.

I was disappointed when Celestia, of all people. didn't see straight through Shimmer's thin veneer of a disguise. Slightly less so when Princess didn't either. But both of them playing her and not directly calling her out on her shit was more entertaining, and just a little bit awesome.

Oh hey it's actually been over a year now. Any hope of an ending for this? I'm still excited for it: this ended up being one of the most fascinating / original / well-constructed series I can think of from my time on fimfic.
