Sunset has a rather curious meeting with a familiar stranger.
Sunset has a rather curious meeting with a familiar stranger.
Wait, what?
A collab with Dainn. Check out his stuff if you haven't already. Stanza and friends wouldn't be around without Anon-a-Miss, in more ways than one.
Spin off to both Hell & High Water and Anon-a-Miss.

Read Hell & High Water to gain some understanding
It might not really be necessary but it will help (especially with the names)
Took me a second to relies the second sunset was from the hell & high water story.
I honestly want to see more of this. This story was good read.
Oh god, the Anon-A-Miss cinematic universe would be either the angstyest place in existence or just hilariously dark.

Based on the interactions myself and several other writers have had with our Sunsets?
It varies widely between both.

It really depends on how many extras besides the various Sunsets show up.

Rainbow Dash intensifies
Great story!
9051712
Your Rainbow Dash did get pretty intense, angsty and dark, didn't she?

I have never even heard of Hell & High Water, and I didn't understand
somemany portions of this story, such as what on earth happened between Sunset and Gilda, but I truly enjoyed it, regardless. Definitely going on my Favourites list! Marred was a fascinating character, I would LOVE to see something more about her.9052662
I'm glad you enjoyed despite some confusion. I hope you enjoy Hell & High Water should you choose to read through it, Marred being a prominent member of the story!
9052716
I found Hell and High Water, and am reading it right now, actually! Enjoying myself immensely.

Now I have another reason to work on the H&HW spur. In many ways the primary change is that Rainbow never got intense, angsty, and dark. (The trade off is that she didn't get magic either.)
As it is wont to do, fimfic ate a line break, you'll need to edit in another here:
Unfortunately my alternate timeline specialists are original characters (Blackbird's Shin Possible, my own Jacob "no last name" who is her theoretical nemesis and more than occasional ally) which means that if I tried to mix in my own stories it'd end up with crap that makes sense to no one unless they read a Kim Possible/Equestria Girls crossover that hasn't even been written yet.
If I look to other stories in general it often wouldn't come up. For example, A New Path Forward doesn't have the confrontation involve Sunset so much as touching the magic gatherer in her confrontation with Midnight. Branching out beyond Anon-a-Miss, if I had Sunset Shimmer, Alchemist, show up she'd spend the whole time wanting to get samples.*
Plus (back to Anon-a-Miss stories only) a lot of them wouldn't have anything interesting to say, easy example: Sunset and Shimmer of Just the two of me can't relate at all since things don't escalate in that story.
*Alchemist: "Can I get some of your hair? And blood and tissue samples? Oh-and-fingernail-clippings? Andhowaboutsome--"
Stanza: "What. The. Fuck?"
Alchemist: You're a Siren Queen, which is potent enough on its own, but given that you were born a unicorn, are in human form, and --I'm just guessing here-- were once a demon until you were purified by Harmony . . . you're a walking treasure trove of magically potent materials. I mean, with what I could extract from your black bile alone I'd be able to finally stabilize the hydrogen orichalcide compound I need for my room temperature super conductor using a modified chrysopoeia† process.
*Alchemist Shimmer remembers to breathe*
Alchemist: I'll be able to keep my Alkahest†‡ in suspension and not have it eat through it's containers anymore!
*Alchemist Shimmer grabs Sunset Stanza by the shoulders*
Alchemist: Don't you see what this could mean!
*At this point Aria probably points some kind of sharp weapon at Alchemist and orders her to back the fuck off.*
† Transmutation of something into gold. Modified because orichalcum isn't gold. By transmuting something already in a stable compound with the appropriate ratio of hydrogen, our little alchemist hopes to form an otherwise impossible stable compound.
‡ Alkahest is the universal solvent. The problem it has is that something that can eat through anything will eat through whatever you store it in. Alcheset Shimmer "solves" this by containing it in three spherical shells each of which rotates on a different axis, thus it has to eat through three containers before it starts to eat through the table, floor, and so forth and, because of the rotation, it's not actually in prolonged contact with any one part of a given container.
Naturally this merely slows down the problem instead of stopping it. Given time, if left on its own it will eat through everything it touches until it eventually reaches the earth's core (where gravity will keep it contained.)

To be fair, River and I are mostly joking. Dash certainly got MAD, but I like to think the angst isn’t really all that bad outside of a little bit of ‘wait did we just die?’ here and there. Thanks for catching the spacing issue. FiMFiction is great about that.
As much as I’ve jokingly named it ‘The Anon-a-Miss cinematic universe’, most of the insanity comes from the Sunsets themselves. River’s ‘Coven’ is a Freshman that hasn’t had much time in the human world yet. Maybe a year. So a non-Anon-a-Miss Sunset, a non-a-Miss if you will, wouldn’t be out of the question.
Stanza: slowly lowers Aria’s spear “If I give you a strand of hair, a small blood sample, and maybe talk Sour into doing the same while in demon form, can you promise that those samples aren't going to some government black project? Last thing I want is some sorta anti-siren gun being built by a CIA skunkworks group.
Aria: “I thought gold transmutation was illegal. Also don’t you alchemists do weird shit with dogs?”
Stanza: “Aria.”
Aria: “Isn’t Alkahest a Metalfoes Fusion?”
Stanza: “Aria!”

Yeah, she's not angsty, but she is off, for example, paraphrased:
Then again, steps have been taken in the general direction of fixing that (not a paraphrase):

Dark magic has a habit of leaving one in a strange place, emotionally. After all, just look at Sour Sweet.
I want you to add a chapter where the battle is from the wondercolts perspective
9054378
I agree, not having Marred and Rainbow interact can't help but feel like a missed opportunity.

That'd be Dainn's call, given that's mostly all his characters to my one Marred.
I understood that reference.
I would've gone with Wonderdolts.
This was really good! I don't suppose you've got plans for more Stanza x Sunset shenanigans?

There are certainly ideas, but nothing explicitly on paper
