There's a madness to my method.

T

Sunset Shimmer takes the mantle of her old master Sir Sunburst Starwatcher in a fit of desperation. Now, having had a taste of the glory and victory that has so long been out of reach, she throws herself into a delicate balance between fighting her way to riches and the noose that awaits if she is discovered.

And the lie she and her friends are trying to keep is getting harder and harder to maintain. Oh, and of course, there's the maiden fair who seems determined to get the truth of the matter.
*Based loosely on A Knight's Tale, you do not need to have seen the movie. This will have substantial differences.

You had my curiosity. But now, you have my attention, comrade.

Yes please continue the story it has such a strong start

This store is going to be epic please continuate

Well I can’t wait to see how you continue on with this story.

I kinda like short hair Sunset Shimmer not gonna lie.

Awesome chapter but I feel like the fight scene was too short still a great chapter though

Sunset with a sword, potential Sci-set and a mysterious past. I fully endorse this story.

Interesting wait for more!!

What's A Knight's Tale about?

The original was a story by Geoffrey Chaucer about a kid who pretends to be a noble so he can compete as a knight, he gets into hijinks and is eventually caught and because he was kind to the prince, the prince respects him and officially knights him. this is going to have a lot more going on if all goes according to plan.

Another great chapter I suspect nothing less

Sunny girl is making friends in high places that's good

Ooh that is an interesting challenge that Lord Night has put down. Hopefully this isn't just a scheme to sully Sunset's name for the opportunity to be able to reject her as incompetent. But if Sunset needs to lose in a way that looks convincing she's going to be put through a whole lot of pain.

Applejack ain't going to like this

11317033
No, no she most certainly is not. :ajbemused:

-hotdiggetydemon-friendship-applejack

So looks like sunset has a choice to make the girl:twilightblush: or the bag 💰 if it was any other girl I would have gone for the bag sunset x Twilight is the best ship fight me

Okay for sunset to live to see the next morning after she loses the tournament she just has to remind Applejack that Twilight is rich

I gotta say Sunset looks smoking’ with short hair.

Why is there a human tag and an Equestria Girls tag?

11334210
I don't know, I guess I got tag happy

Of course he wasn't going to keep his word and I'm honestly surprised when nobody brought up the possibility

I have a feeling Sunset might be Luna’s niece. She might have a birthmark or the mark she had in her back from the fire might be a clue that she is from either high nobility or actually the lost Princess.

I will neither confirm or deny anything I will simply say that I have... plans. The story is nowhere near complete.

Sunset 'the cinnamon roll' Shimmer must be tortured still further.

Oh God I hope not if she's related to Luna or any nobility this will practically invalidate this chapter because it would typically prove night light right if she secretly nobility I would prefer that she isn't some type of secret nobility that she's a peasant girl who is this strong because of hard work and her talent not because she secretly a noble that's just my opinion on it

And besides sunsets only mistake was believing in a canterlot Noble would keep the word when it doesn't benefit them

Ich hoffe auf für Sunset das beste!

*blinks*. I got name dropped and nobody told me??? Well damn! I too wish to see how this goes.

Welllll... Shit. Knew it was coming and was still sad.

Sorry for being MIA friends, I've been seeing someone new and she's been taking up quite a bit of my attention. But! I'm back now and working on the next chapter of our tale. I hope you'll join me for the next part of Sunset's story and that you enjoy what is to come.

I hope Luna helps! and I'm excited to see what twilight does!

4 days without food or water would juuuuust about kill anyone. Good thing Sunny sat still and was made of sterner stuff. On that thought though. Did ya have to kick her? Really? Rude.

Sorry I've been MIA for a bit friends, I've recently moved and I've been a bit preoccupied getting my house in order. Here's a new chapter I've been working on to tide you over until I can get my sh*t together.

Sunset shimmer is more worthy to be called a knight than any other scene

I've been wondering where Celestia is in all this.

11402135
Sitting on her plump posterior at the moment

11404008
You there, cake or death?"
Celestia: "Can't I have both?"

While this is a pleasing and unexpected turn of events i feel bad for Twilight. Being told her heart's desire was about to be executed only to instead have them shipped off for a multi-year campaign of death and war. I'm sure her father will have her married off before war's end.

I think the spacing of the paragraphs are too big

That is a good title. Interested to see what the villagers might know about her origin.

11292964
Why did you space out the paragraphs so much?

Didn't get to say goodbye to Twilight. Damn. Yeah, her dad would have her married off before Sunset can have even a chance of returning with honors.

11481634
I have some vision/attention issues and it helps to have bigger spacing between paragraphs

Isn't A Knight's Tale also the name of a fanfic on here?
