It was just a week before Christmas. Sunset Shimmer has finally broke. The anonymous cyberbully a.k.a. Anon-a-Miss has exposed the private secrets of her HuMane Six friends on MyStable, friendships have been broken and severed by these claims, lives have been ruined, and all the evidence that coincided with the HuMane Six's secrets are falsely pointed at Sunset Shimmer. What's worse is that everyone in the school, including her friends, have turned on her, leaving her alone and despondent. What's even more worse is that Princess Twilight Sparkle of Equestria hasn't opened the breach between both the equine world and the human world.
Feeling lower than her defeat during the Fall Formal Incident earlier that year, Sunset Shimmer has given up all hope of trying to talk things over with her former friends, and decided to end it by walking in the December blizzard alone, hoping that the cold would calmly put her out of her misery. Walking along the highway with nothing but her warm clothes and her dreams of friendship crushed, Sunset finally succumbs to hypothermia and sleeps. When she woke up, Sunset knew that she didn't perish. Instead, a kind and generous soul had saved her from salvation, a kind and generous soul who hides a dark past within his memories. When Sunset asks him why he couldn't have let her die in the blizzard, it only took a few sentences out of him to make her realize that he wasn't so different after all. That he was a kindred spirit much like her own.
That's when Sunset decided to spend her first Christmas with her savior, which unfolds into a tale of how two distant yet kindred souls could change their lives for the better. What can more be said for Canterlot High when the scandals of Anon-a-Miss continues to spread through the hallways like an infectious virus, or when some unsavory figures from Sunset's savior's past decided to rear their ugly heads?
Rated T for suicide attempts.

I like this story so far.
Can't wait to see the reaction of the Human 5 when they realize they screwed up.
I hope to see the next chapter soon.
Will Chrysalis be appearing in this story?
8526668
Not pony Chrysalis, but yeah.
A promising start. I hope the HuMane Six will realize their mistake and karma will bite the CMC in their rears!
I doubt that the three imps realize the gravity of their actions. A bit early for Christmas and it's been at least a year since the Anon-a-miss comic was published. Most fics where Sunset commits suicide usually has her try to jump off a bridge, slash her wrists or drown herself.
Did Applejack just bullied Fluttershy for thinking different?
Every retelling of the 'Anon-A-Miss' story, I keep hoping for Sweetie Belle to come to her senses, sort of.
Such as by posting on the bottom of the Anon-A-Miss page: This page could not have been done without the help of my 2 best friends.
Thus causing mass confusion of the whole school.
8526765
Well, to be fair would you want a fic like this dragging down your Christmas spirit?
8526782
I wouldn't go far as to say bullied, Applejack was acting out of anger, irrationality. She's a very prideful person, and a teenager at that, those two things are never a good mix.
MOAR
8526849 Good point. I wouldn't want a story dampening my Christmas spirit. It's just that the comic's so popular that I've enough Anon-a-miss fics that a third of my Sunset folder has them.
8526782 She did.
I LOVE THIS STORY, I just love the Anon-A-Miss fanfics, thought it would have been cool if someone had overheard what the CMC said, like say Button Mash or Rumble, like a young kid around the CMC's age, but not Diamond or Silver, no way those two should over hear what the CMC said, they would blackmail the CMC into posting more dirty secrets then what they are doing already.
I'm intrigued, and looking forward to giving it a read, but I'd like to offer a suggestion. I think the story would benefit from a much shorter description. I feel like it gives away way too much of the story right now.
I cant wait for the next chapter
Nicely done please continue
Definitely an interesting start, I'm excited to see where it goes.
8526900
Can't wait for the truth to come out. Hope Fluttershy rips into Apple Jack so hard inthe aftermath she left sobbing.
8527178 Yeah. Fluttershy scared Twilight by going Zangief on Harry the bear, made a dragon cry, stood up to a manticore, is a caretaker of Angel Bunny (who's pretty much a hellspawn in a cute body) and outstared a cockatrice. She's also the Sole Survivor of the Mane Six after the end of Fallout Equestria and is pretty much a genderbent Gohan. I could say other feats that she has done in fanfiction, but I don't remember 'em all.
8527192
True. And willt he CMC get a proper punishmnt? I keep hoping to read oen where they are expeled, or at least suspended for several months.
when's the next chapter? i love it! XD
Also, please tell me that CMC will be expelled for the cyberbully event!
8526851 That maybe the case but from my point of view it look like she bullied Fluttershy. Because her pride won't let any of her friends think different.
8526900
That's another thing that's going to bite Applejack in the ass.
nice start (at least as nice as such Anon-A-Miss stories can be
), looking forward to more 
MOAR! MOAAAAR!
Love this story can't wait to see what happens next!
well i hope the CMC get grounded for the rest of their childhood
I'm looking forward to the next chapter as well. (not sure who's going around down voting most of the comments though
)

Interesting start. I like the setup you've got going on. At the end though, I doubt that someone carrying in a girl affected by hypothermia would scream "is anyone here a doctor" walking into a hospital. Of course there are doctors there. Yelling something like "excuse me, this is an emergency!" and running up to the receptionist or whoever seems more likely.
Anyways, adding this to my tracking list ;)
This fucking genre of the Anon-a-Miss stories is OVERDONE. Seriously, I can think of twenty-nine other stories with the EXACT. SAME. PREMISE. Only with a different coat of paint.
those guys will pay for their crimes even turning their backs on her.
What is the point of this story when ALL the Anon-a-Miss fics have done the exact same thing. What's unique about this?
8528761
The same premise different paint? Theres only one chapter out so far and you're the one painting it with that brush. Stories like these are all different with how the author takes it.
Another promising anon fic. I look forward to future chapters.
8528761
Then stop reading them and let people who enjoy them continue to read them. I've read nearly all of them and I've yet to see anyone write the be all end all perfect take on the story so your complaint is unnecessary and unwanted.
8529062
If you aren't going to read the tags then don't complain about the originality of a story that's only one chapter in.
8529853
I missed the character tags, my mistake. Apologies.
Looking forward to more of this story, I'm a real sucker for Sunset Shimmer stories. :D Excellent start, very gripping. And looks to be taking a different perspective on the main6's opinions and the saving of Sunset. I'm excited to see where this goes.
How many Anon-a-miss stories are we going to have
It's pretty much an entire genre at tus point
I seriously have to ask the author: Have you ever had Hypothermia?
If you had, you would know that A) it is not a pleasant thing, in fact, it's very painful, and B) barring specific circumstances (IE falling in water, etc), it takes a long time to die. And it hurts the entire time.
Using that as a form of suicide is laughable.
Hard pass on this story, and here's why: https://www.fimfiction.net/group/199035/sunset-shimmer/thread/340161/anon-a-miss-sunset-shimmer-suicide---why-its-a-load-of-crap

I'll be honest, no.
I should have brushed up on hypothermia before I wrote this chapter.
Besides, I wanted Sunset to go out on a relatively painless note, and given how far she walked in the snow and how emotionally deflated she was from this experience, you could say she was too physically and mentally exhausted to even feel anything anymore.... can anyone feel numb when they're mentally exhausted?
8530422
Freezing to death is NOT painless, or peaceful. It is agonizing.
When your body temperature drops, you blood capillaries constrict, forcing blood into your inner core and makes your extremities colder.
Then you start to shiver, which is your body's way of generating heat to keep you alive. Mild Hypothermia is characterized as violent shivering, enough that you cannot speak. You also experience severe painful muscle cramps, mostly in your calfs because that's the largest muscle group farthest from your heart.
Your skin colour fades and your lips and fingernails turn blue, and any exposed skin is likely frostbitten, which feels like you've been burned and stabbed by a thousand needles at the same time.
At this point, if you haven't gotten someplace warm, and due to the reduced blood flow, most notably to the brain, you experience loss of judgement from lack of blood flow to the brain (your body is literally starving the brain of oxygen in order to keep itself alive). People at this point report feeling like they're burning up, which is the exact opposite as they are losing heat faster than ever. In this addled state, people start taking off clothes in order to 'cool off', and they also start walking around like they're drunk. At the same time, your digits (fingers, toes), the cornea of your eye, the tips of your nose and ears, are all most likely frozen from frostbite, see the part about feeling burned and stabbed, except is over your entire body.
By this point, your body has stopped shivering and you become sleepy.
Beyond this, you collapse from exhaustion, you enter into the final stages of hypothermia, and exhibit what is called ' terminal burrowing behaviour' where your body, using its last bit of strength, attempt to burrow into the snow, hide under something, an act that is useless, as barring extreme medical intervention in an ER, your breathing slows to almost nothing, as well as your heart rate, and you fall asleep, scared, cold, and in pain.
Then you die.
That does not sound 'painless' and the farthest from 'peaceful'.

Thank you for bringing that enlightening piece on information to my attention. I'll be sure to look into a lingering disease the next time I write something about it beforehand.
I'm a sucker for anon-a-miss stories. This one seems quite interesting and besides a few grammar mistakes or a missing word here and there well written. Please continue!
>nu changelings
>ever
Better once it gets to the point and they realize they screwed up and badly. Don't have her turn around and forgive them too bud, that's more than been overdone.
why does no one ever fix the problem with this story in all the rewrites of that stupid comic no one fixes the real problem
how out of character the rainbooms where and that is true of this one to
I see some potential here. Fix the grammar and spelling errors and you'll be off to a good start. I also like that we get a brief look at things from Applejack's POV. It makes her anger seem a little more justified. Though I still think the narrative needs a bit more stability, I love the alternating levels of despair you were able to integrate into it. I would love to see where you take this
8542249
because that would ruin the story
