In another universe, far from the one we know (but not too far), a butterfly flapped its wings. A baby was born, as we well know. But rather than being white, with a mane formed from a prism of color, this filly was blue, close to pitch, with a softer blue mane. Her parents lovingly named her Luna. Not too long after, they had another baby. White, this time. I'm sure you know what to imagine. They named this filly Celestia; thus, our two royal sisters were born.
And, due to this one small change in what was now ancient history, we must begin anew; hear the story from the beginning. A familiar story, and yet so very, very different.

~

Over a thousand years later, a young unicorn mare named Sunset Shimmer studies under the ruling princess of Equestria, Luna. With her sharp mind and spiky exterior, she's more than happy to spend her days alone, dedicated to her magical studies. She's made great strides with no one but her teacher and dutiful assistant, but when Equestria is faced with a forgotten villain of legend and she's the only one left who knows how to defeat her, "going it alone" may not be an option any longer.

CHANGED SOLAR FLARE TO DAYBREAKER FOR CLARITY'S SAKE

This story is a sequel to The Mis-text Mystery

A prequel-sequel to The Mis-text Mystery. While not required to enjoy this story, I suggest you start there.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Twilight has been trying to catch Sunset's eye for months, and nothing seems to be working. Finally accepting that it's just not meant to be, she slinks off to a secluded location for some much needed crying time.

Of course she realizes some random back alley might not be the best choice for that sort of thing when she's interrupted by the last person she expected.

Sunset Shimmer isn't like the other Freshman in Canterlot High School. While so many others explain away the strange things that happen in their town, she knows better. There's an entire world out there, a world of magic and incredible creatures, one that she's determined to reach.

Careful study and preparation brings her to the portal in front of her school, at the last moment of its opening. Sunset doesn't have a clue what might be waiting on the other side, but she's sure it will lead her to the magic she's always wanted.

No matter what it costs.

While tearfully repairing the wall she destroyed, Sunset Shimmer can't help but reflect on what a horrible person she is. Convinced she'll never be forgiven by her peers, and unsure if she's even worthy of it, she's visited in the night by one of the last people she expected.

A collection of stories that take a quick look into the daily lives of high school student Sunset Shimmer and her friends.

Set in the Equestria Girls world.

Twilight Sparkle has transfered school and gained a new group of friends. But she also has come in contact with magic from another world and lost herself to the temptations of power.

Sunset Shimmer knows of tempations and magic and does everything she can for the girl who quickly became her closest friend and maybe even a little more.

When a vicious nightmare feeds on Twilight's insecurities and fears, what will Sunset Shimmer do to stop it?

This story takes place after Friendship Games but before Legend of Everfree and contains shameless Sunlight (Sunset- Human Twilight)-shipping. You have been warned

Sunset Shimmer moonlights as the street artist Flanksy, but not all of her paintings go off without a hitch.

This story has a sequel which can be found here.

Sunset Shimmer has never needed anyone or anything - she had her magic, she had her ambition, and she had intellect. Others just stood in her way or held her down. So what do you do when your plans for world domination fall through?

Now she's about to discover that the only thing harder than hitting rock bottom is climbing your way out of that crater. Good thing she has some new friends to help her along, but its tough to seek forgiveness from others when you can't forgive yourself...

Special thanks to KiltedKey (Chapters 1/2) and SolidFire for their editing work.

Sunset Shimmer is homeless and living in an old abandoned warehouse with no power and a leaky roof with almost nothing to her name, not even her favorite jacket after it was destroyed during the Fall Formal. With the school closed down for the holiday and her so called friends too caught up in their own holiday plans they don't realize Sunset not only doesn't have any...but she has no place to get food with the school closed.

Going to a close by community center Christmas Eve to get a hot meal they were giving the homeless and those down on their luck, Sunset runs into the family of the last person she expected to see there...

After the Fall Formal things don't go so well with Sunset Shimmer she slowly spirals downward before hitting rock bottom, moments away from doing something she will regret when, to her, the least likely of people come to her rescue.

Takes place after the first Equestria Girls movie.

Oh wow! My very first featured story on 3/12/2015! Thank you all so much!
