A spinoff short story, featuring Wallflower, Roseluck and Derpy, is now published! Click here to read.

It's been a year since Wallflower Blush tried to purge the memory of Sunset's reformation from the entire student body of Canterlot High. But despite Sunset's initial effort to steer the lonely, embittered girl onto a new path—and, indeed, Wallflower has developed a reasonable social life with several new close friends—the two of them remain haunted by the events of those three days, each embodying some of the darkest moments of the others' lives, and spend their school days at a stark distance from each other.

But as graduation looms, threatening the possibility that they might never get over their anxieties, the two decide it's time for a real, genuine conversation about what happened, why things still hurt and how they can move on—if it's even possible.

Timeline Notes: Forgotten Friendship takes place at the end of junior year, with Rollercoaster of Friendship the following summer. Senior year includes Sunset's Backstage Pass early in the year (along with some of the Starswirled Music Festival episodes of the digital series), followed by Holidays Unwrapped and the rest of the digital series' second season. I'm not sure exactly where Spring Breakdown happens, but it's not especially relevant here. The events of the novels and comics are not canon to my stories.

Takes place two days after "Late-Night Conversations", which is strongly recommended reading for this story.

It's the start of the holiday season, and Crystal City Institute of Technology freshman Twilight Sparkle is eagerly anticipating her reunion date with her long-distance girlfriend Sunset Shimmer, who's spending two nights at her dorm before they join their old friends at Canterlot. But as they visit Crystal City's famous winter light festival together, Sunset can't help but notice Twilight's a little uncomfortable talking about campus life; can she bring her friend-turned-lover some Christmas cheer?

Read on for a Sciset (aka Sunlight) holiday date filled with fluff, angst, cuteness, humor, more angst, comfort and charm! And, if you stick around long enough, you can learn about a sore spot in the production history of the human world's version of Daring Do!

Revised 27 November 2022!

This is my first real shipfic and something I’ve been incredibly excited to write. A spiritual sequel to my previous fic "Late-Night Conversations" (which is in the same continuity, along with its direct sequel, but isn't necessary to understand this story). OC tag refers to a minor character, Twilight's college roommate.

Applejack made it, despite Rainbow's directions, and is prepared for an eventful meal courtesy of Canterlot High's star athlete. But what's this? Oh ye gods, Rainbow's roast is ruined! But what if... she were to purchase fast food and disguise it as her own cooking? Ho ho ho...

Yes, it's "Skinner and the Superintendent", better known as "Steamed Hams", from the Simpsons episode "22 Short Films About Springfield", but reimagined in the world of Equestria Girls. But no, this is not simply a cheap clone of the original scene with names swapped out. Oh no, where’s the fun in that? Prepare for the terrifying lows, the dizzying highs and the creamy middles, along with surprising twists and, perhaps, a geographically wayward aurora borealis.

(Classed as a crossover due to copious and obvious Simpsons references, though don't expect Homer or anyone to walk in.)

As graduation looms, Sunset's anxieties about life—both at Canterlot High and beyond—are mounting, and that anxiety begins to manifest in intense nightmares about the Memory Stone incident, one year prior. At a sleepover with Rarity and Twilight at the latter's house, Sunset jolts awake in the middle of the night, and Rarity overhears. Determined to help her friend, Rarity sits down with her immediately to talk through exactly what's going on—and the two discover some hidden truths about their friendship in the process.

Read on for Sunset/Rarity hurt-comfort and friendshipping (with a few references to SciSet later on). An epilogue chapter has now been added!
