From Ashes, Acid, and Absinthe

by Hope
Sunset Shimmer didn't end up in High school, she ended up naked and alone in late 1960s America. While anti-war protests and the drug scene explode around her, Sunset reforges herself as Alice Shiner to survive the world of humans.

Sunset Shimmer didn't end up in High school, she ended up in late 1960s America naked, and alone. While anti-war protests and the drug scene explode around her, Sunset reforges herself as Alice Shiner to survive a foster home, and the world of humans, before coming across a cult and its diarchy of enigmatic leaders that couldn't be any less like the grim but noble Celestia she ran from.

Co-written by Hope and McPoodle, this romp through history and a delicious AU goes deliberately off the rails for the sole purpose of having some dramatic fun.
