…Each of these stories, each separate in their own unique settings, share a common conclusion: they are each the story of how “Shine Like Rainbows” was written in their universe.
Each story is set within the canon during Rainbow Rocks; however, within the story itself alternative and mutually exclusive narrations of the same event are given, so the AU tag is here as a hint to the nature of the story itself, not so much the setting. This is not a collection of stories, so please commit to reading the whole thing! Rated T for implied nudity and farm anatomy jokes, I’d let my kids read it but I’d like to stay safe. There are infinite possibilities, so I probably won't change it to complete ever, but don't expect a lot of updates.
