Sunset Shimmer, student at Canterlot High. She made choices, some horrible. Reforming herself would have been difficult if not for her friends. Now, as she goes on the road to redemption, she has a chance to give back what she has received...

When you first met Fluttershy, you fell in love with her. Eventually, thanks in part to Sunset Shimmer, you and her shared a strong, romantic bond. However, tragedy strikes you and you ended up in a catatonic state where you could not care about anything. Though there is always support...

A sad, short story inspired by a comic by Lucy-tan, which also is where the cover image comes from. When I first read the comic, I was so devastated that I had to write up a story about it. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Update, November 20th, 2021: A Dramatic Reading is done by 15.ai, which you can listen to here.

When you try and use dark magic to take over Canterlot High, it never ends well.
The Dazzlings lost their powers and were thoroughly embarrassed by Sunset Shimmer, Princess Twilight, and company.

For Sonata, it didn't get much better. Fed up with her inherent ignorance, Adagio takes her frustrations out on Sonata, and kicks her out of the group. With nowhere to go, she winds up wandering the streets. Luckily for her, she wandered into the right place at the right time.

She'll be borrowing someone's kindness for a while.

Will Sonata be able to atone for her mistakes?
Will she be able to make friends?

Author's Note: Originally, I planned to entirely change this. But I realized this provides me with a beautiful opportunity. A chance to explore a world of what-ifs. Sonata being saved by Vinyl after the Battle of the Bands could change the entire timeline from here on out. Let's go.

Sonata Dusk has had enough. She joined the Dazzlings for power, and sought after the weak and lonely. But now it's her turn to be lonely and weak as she recalls scenes from her past she thought she forgot. But these thoughts were a part of her. But the best way to exert these feelings is with a poem. (This is unrelated to Pony Tatakai- Adagio Death.)

Marked Teen for scenes of gore and a word frequented by potty-mouths.

Takes place during Rainbow Rocks.

After being confronted in a dark corner of CHS by the Dazzlings, I begin to wonder if there is truth to what they said.

Part of the SciTwi Shimmer Chronicles

Warning: triggers of self-harm, suicidal thoughts and swearing.

Now with a review from That one RationalCritic.

Update: now with an audio reading on my YouTube channel.

If you or someone you know or love is considering suicide, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. I know from personal experience that it helps.

This story is a sequel to It's Not Fine

Sunset’s world ended, and she almost lost herself to the darkness that followed. But with Fluttershy’s love and friendship, she managed to survive. Months later, Sunset is in therapy and making strides to reclaim some of her old life. However, there’s still a shadow that swirls in her heart, a shadow that she believes can only be lifted by visiting Twilight’s grave.

Note: You don't have to read the previous story to understand what's happening in this one.

While dealing with the mess after the fall formal, Sunset Shimmer must also find herself struggling with issues that she had thought was long forgotten. Will she be able to overcome her past or will she be destined to repeat the mistakes she had in the past?

Twilight Sparkle may be a brilliant scientist, a flawless engineer, and a wielder of otherworldly magic—but she's not infallible. Sometimes, she isn't okay. Pinkie knows this.

Music by Inquisitive_Duck

The night is young. It has been a week since the Battle of the Bands. An argument breaks out at a dining room table, with three teenage girls. Someone gets thrown out.

Even unable to sing well, a siren is never silent.

This is how it feels to be Sonata Dusk, right now.

It has been weeks since the defeat of the Dazzlings, and Sunset Shimmer's friendships have only gotten stronger. Whilst finally relaxing in the times of peace, Sunset discovers an old enemy: Sonata Dusk. Strangely alone and apparently homeless, Sonata's luck seems to be at its all time low.
Seeing a little of herself in the former siren, Sunset embarks on a mission to help Sonata find friendship.
