I did some things I regret in my life, both as a pony and as a human. They're mistakes that will probably leave traces in some form for the rest of my life.
But that doesn't mean I won't try to change. Even if the past does follow me wherever I go...
(First person, Sunset's POV, set after the events of Rainbow Rocks)
EDIT: While this was initially started as just a quick thing I wrote for the Equestria Daily Friend Off that I threw together at the last minute, I have now decided to improve on and expand it.
Yeah, after Rainbow Rocks I LOVED Sunset Shimmer, and after seeing the image I used for the cover, I decided "Hey, I wanted to write something for the Friend Off", why not do a fic inspired by this pic of Sunset?
I only wrote this after I realized there was an extension, so it was just a quick thing.
EDIT: Gonna expand on this, give the first chapter a bit of a rewrite, and have more chapters.
I liked your story, very nice. I agree that after I watched Rainbow Rocks, Sunset Shimmer become one of my favorite characters.
This is a nice story, and a good look into how she's dealing with what she did in the past. I did see a couple of typo's, but nothing major that I noticed.
5217239 Yeah. If you count Sunset as being part of the "Mane 7", she's my favorite besides Twilight.
5217908 Thanks for the corrects, I wrote this at 1am so I'm honestly very surprised I didn't make more mistakes.

Well, it is always possible that there were others I didn't see, especially as I wasn't really looking out for them, I just happened to spot those as I read.
5218280 Well thanks for spotting them.

No problem, I figured you'd probably want to know they were there.
This was pretty okay. I had a good time reading it, but I feel like the emotions could have been conveyed much better. Something about the execution seemed weak. I can't quite put my finger on it, though. It just felt off.
5219112 Honestly, I can understand why. Admittedly I wanted to write it for the Friend Off, and I finally ended up finding a picture that inspired me enough to write a story about it.
Thing is, seeing as I was a bit busy to do the Friend Off at it's normal time frame before the extension, I didn't find out about the extension until a short while before it ended. So I ended up writing this at 1am my time, and I'm not a night person, at all, but I wanted to submit it anyway.
So yeah, I'm not denying that it's kind of weak, even I feel that way. I would have been able to write better if it hadn't been under a late-night time constraint.

Now that the Friend-Off is over, you can go back edit now, yeah? I'd love to read an edited version.
5219313 Yeah, I actually had that in mind right after I sent that comment.
In fact, after thinking it over... along with editing this up a bit, I may either write a follow-up or make it multi-chaptered, because now I'm getting more ideas.
5219415
This pleases me.
5219509 *thinks it over, then switches Complete status to Incomplete*
I'm getting ideas and I'm gonna have fun with them.

Woot
Looking forward to reading the edited first chapter and also future chapters.
5219564 I'll surely be letting you know when I have the first chapter edited and the next chapter up.
5219564 Well, now I've edited the first chapter a bit to be more expansive on Sunset's perspective, and a bit of an addition at the end to lead up into the next chapters.

The pacing definitely felt better. And I'm definitely interested in where you're taking this.
The emotional impact still felt a bit lacking, though I feel like part of that is because I was already familiar with where the story was going.
5222472 True.

Very nice! Sunset shot waayyyyy up in my favorite character rankings after Rainbow Rocks too.
So I suspect that Sunset will mare up and personally apologize to Celestia later on? Admittedly it was both of their fault, Celestia for not being a better teacher and Sunset for being a spoiled brat.
I enjoyed this fic a whole lot.
Daemons have tainted Sunset Shimmer, we must notify the Inquisition.
