It’s never easy to get along with one’s parents. It’s even harder when they gave you way and denied you your birthright. This is the story of Sunset Shimmer and how she fell out with and returned to speaking terms with her mother Princess Celestia of Equestria.

This happens between Rainbow Rocks and Friendship games. Human Twilight (Or Science Twilight, whichever you prefer) would have add a whole layer of awkward.
Annual 2013 “The Fall of Sunset Shimmer” is also cannon to this but I cover all you need to know to follow the story in the prolog.

After what Sunset had done she never expected anyone to forgive her, but there was always someone willing to give her a second chance and accept her for what she was. Even before Twilight's friends bothered with her, there was one girl who Sunset could always rely on to be there.

When Sunset was just a filly under the tutelage of Princess Celestia, she developed a powerful crush on her mentor.

It didn’t end well.

Years later, Sunset is older, wiser, and ready to finally reconcile. But as she’s prepared to put her past behind her, Sunset finds out with growing horror that some feelings aren’t so easily forgotten.

Friendship is weakness, that was what Sunset had believed. That is, until it forced her into a giant hole in the ground. Faced with the challenge of earning the forgiveness of her school, friendship is starting to not seem all that bad.

But friendship with them? Never in a million years. Unfortunately, they won't take no for an answer. But she has her second chance, and she plans to make use of it. However that may be easier said then done, especially when she questions their sincerity.

It had to be them...

{{Story is cancelled and up for adoption!}}

Immediately following her defeat in the first movie, Sunset Shimmer realizes that not only does everyone hate her, but she is a danger to those around her. So she decides to do what's best for both worlds, and end her life.

The thing is, not everyone hates her. But can her real friends get to her in time, and show her the error of her ways?

This story is a sequel to Empty Lake, Full Sky

Sunset Shimmer's choices after the Fall Formal lead her through a darkness she thought she'd lost. Sequel/adoption attempt for Empty Lake, Full Sky by Wayward Sun. Please read that first, in order to know what has lead to the events here.

Sunset's fateful choice leads her to question everything she once used to cling to, even as she recovers and returns to school. Particularly curious to the redhead - a rising attraction to a green-eyed blonde.

Teen for reasons, may change as the story progresses...
Featured? Yes! 8/20/2016, first story of mine to make the box!

After starting up a forum post about how Sunset Shimmer sees humanity, I couldn't help but wonder about what it would be like for Sunset Shimmer to give a speech about humanity?

What would she say? Would she condemn it, or would she defend it?

This is my attempt at setting up an answer to this question, and hopefully open up a door to more down the road.

It’s the Christmas season, and all are at home with their families...except one. Labeling her as a scapegoat during the Anon-a-miss incident, a number of students have abducted Sunset, intending to make her pay for all the secrets she spilled....Again.
There's just one problem....She didn't.

You guys know Dainn's "Anon-A-miss" Story. But if you don't, leave now, and go read his story. This story is a direct branchoff from his, continuing immediately after chapter 5 of his story. You NEED to read his story up until chapter 5, to understand what's going on in this one.
This will be a darker telling of what goes on after chapter 5 of his story.
The original story belongs to Dainn! Be a stalker and follow him, his story is really good!

Sunset cuts herself, not too deep but enough to feel the pain. Enough to feel the scream inside. But one day cutting isn't enough.

This story is after EG ( May turn into a romance ship but I still don't know)
