Sunset of Time is a My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfic, written by The Albinocorn.The fic opens with Canterlot under attack from some evil force, the city in ruins and the castle crumbling. Sunset Shimmer, faithful student to Princess Twilight Sparkle, is instructed to run to the Star Swirl the Bearded wing and use a relic there to travel back in time fifty years, and once there destroy the "Dark Regalia". Sunset follows her orders and arrives in Equestria shortly after Twilight's ascension and coronation at the end of Season 3.Convincing the past version of her mentor of her true intentions, the group discovers what Future!Twilight meant: an evil pony named Vesper Radiance is seeking the Dark Regalia that can transform a normal pony into an alicorn. Somehow, the Dark Regalia — the Alicorn Amulet, the Tempest Crown, and the Obsidian Hoofguards — are responsible for the chaos that will happen in the future, and it's up to Twilight, Sunset, and their friends to stop it. Along the way through, Sunset is plagued by odd dreams and a voice whispering in her head, and not all is what it seems, especially once they come face-to-face with Vesper Radiance.The fic focuses on a completely alternative take of Sunset Shimmer, disregarding Equestria Girls to build its own story around the concept of Sunset Shimmer rather than the canon's depiction. | |

With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Flashbacks show Vesper Radiance was already going insane before she started gathering the Dark Regalia; wearing them has made her even worse. | |

Sunset of Time (Fanfic) / int_271ec178 | comment |
"I Know You Are in There Somewhere" Fight: Twilight tries to bring Sunset back to her senses when her true memories awaken and she becomes Vesper Radiance and succeeds. Played with in that, as Vesper notes, it was Sunset that was the fake personality while Vesper was the "trapped" personality within her. | |

Sunset of Time (Fanfic) / int_2a51fd2d | comment |
Beam-O-War: There's three instances of this, with two of them happening back-to-back. Chapter XIV: Twilight has two with Vesper Radiance. The first one is interrupted by Rainbow Dash sucker punching Vesper. The second has Sunset adding her power to Twilight's to push Vesper into a whirlwind. Chapter XXIII: Twilight and Sunset engage in one when the latter succumbs to the corruption of Vesper's memories. The fight ends in an explosive draw, but Twilight is the first to get up. | |

Amplifier Artifact | |
Sunset of Time (Fanfic) / int_319e101e | comment |
Amplifier Artifact: Wearing one of the Dark Regalia amplifies a pony's abilities to unrivaled potential. Together, they can transform a pony into an alicorn capable of killing the princesses. However, overloading said artifacts with too much power can actually destroy them, which directly contributes to Vesper's death. | |

Sunset of Time (Fanfic) / int_50f5dabe | comment |
Reincarnation: Eventually confirmed as the reason Sunset and Vesper look alike. Vesper's soul was extracted from her body, corrupted by dark magic, and she was reborn as Sunset, to give her a second chance at life and happiness. This happens again in the epilogue, with the current Sunset reborn for her third chance. | |

Sunset of Time (Fanfic) / int_5dda1915 | comment |
Evil Makes You Monstrous: When Vesper Radiance absorbs the power of a frostlich to become a lich herself, she takes on a very unpleasant form. She essentially looks like Sunset Shimmer's demon form as a pony, but with Fireball Eyeballs, a patchwork blood-red coat, and rotting skin, among other things. | |

Sunset of Time (Fanfic) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: "Vesper" is the evening prayer in Catholicism, reflecting Vesper Radiance's desire to be worshiped as a sun goddess. It also doubles as a hint to her true identity; "vesper radiance" is an approximate synonym for "sunset shimmer". | |

Sunset of Time (Fanfic) / int_7ec94d53 | comment |
Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Subverted with Vesper Radiance. You might feel sorry for her once you learn her backstory, except by that point she's murdered several beings without hesitation or remorse, and flashbacks show in the unaltered timeline, she eventually killed her birth parents for "abandoning" her, and then tried to kill Celestia and the Mane Six once she got the Dark Regalia. She might have once been sympathetic, but has become so evil that sympathy goes off the table. Played straight with Sunset Shimmer, who goes through a Despair Event Horizon and becomes a dark Anti-Hero teetering on the edge of turning to evil, but she's gone through a terrible Trauma Conga Line due to circumstances that weren't her fault, so she remains sympathetic. | |

Sunset of Time (Fanfic) / int_8d3349bb | comment |
Canon Character All Along: This serves as The Reveal for Vesper Radiance. She's Sunset Shimmer as the canon would recognize her, Celestia's former student who was driven to evil by jealousy over Twilight being made a Princess. The trope is then inverted and played with for Sunset Shimmer, who is actually Vesper's reincarnation and has an entirely different personality and backstory, making her Sunset Shimmer In Name Only. | |

Dramatic Irony | |
Sunset of Time (Fanfic) / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Dramatic Irony: Vesper Radiance attempted a time travel spell to go back in time and tell her past self to be a better student, so she could salvage her relationship with Celestia. However, she attempted it just as the Sonic Rainboom hit, the same Sonic Rainboom that got the Mane Six their cutie marks. The shockwave broke her concentration and distorted the spell, and she was flung forward in time to witness Twilight's coronation as Princess. The sight finally drives her off the deep end. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
Sunset of Time (Fanfic) / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: The defeat of Vesper Radiance causes Sunset to vanish from time since the future was altered and she no longer exists. However, the immortal soul the two of them share still does, and Sunset eventually reincarnates again. | |

Pride: How Rainbow Dash overcomes the corrupting effects of wearing the Tempest Crown. It claimed that it could make her the greatest flyer ever and millions would chant her name, but she didn't need it for that because everypony knows that will eventually happen one day. | |

The Chessmaster | |
Sunset of Time (Fanfic) / int_d62dd556 | comment |
The Chessmaster: Of all ponies to be the trope, Twilight Sparkle in the future. Realizing Vesper's seal was not going to hold forever, she arranged for the relic that would transport Sunset back in time to be ready for her when the seal broke, knowing that Sunset's existence in the past would be the least jeopardizing to the timeline and her powers would make her uniquely suited to combat Vesper. Further, Twilight included a recorded message with the relic to encourage her and explain to her this plan should things become too dire. | |

Despair Event Horizon | |
Sunset of Time (Fanfic) / int_dda99fa8 | comment |
Played straight with Sunset Shimmer, who goes through a Despair Event Horizon and becomes a dark Anti-Hero teetering on the edge of turning to evil, but she's gone through a terrible Trauma Conga Line due to circumstances that weren't her fault, so she remains sympathetic. | |

Start of Darkness | |
Sunset of Time (Fanfic) / int_e0040f41 | comment |
Start of Darkness: Though she was selfish and ambitious beforehand, what really set Vesper off was seeing Twilight become a Princess after Celestia rejected her. | |

Who Wants to Live Forever? | |
Sunset of Time (Fanfic) / int_ea39d156 | comment |
Who Wants to Live Forever?: Sunset is proven to be immortal due to Vesper absorbing the Frostlich's soul. Her soul is permanently bound to her body and keeps it animated, even though Vesper actually did kill her and her heart no longer beats. Sunset is horrified and enraged by this revelation. | |

One-Steve Limit: Even after The Reveal, Vesper Radiance is still called as such to distinguish her from the Sunset Shimmer from the future. Otherwise the fic would be quite confusing. | |

Phlebotinum Overdose: Vesper Radiance ultimately destroys herself when she channels too much energy from the sun and overloads her body with magic. | |

Love Makes You Evil: Vesper Radiance loved Celestia as a mother, and she turned to finding the Dark Regalia to become an alicorn when she thought Celestia didn't love her as much in return. | |

Sunset of Time (Fanfic) / int_f9671119 | comment |
Death Equals Redemption: Vesper Radiance's soul, still with the power of the Frost Lich, briefly attempts to absorb Sunset's own after they both die, but fails and falls into despair. Sunset consoles the shadow and helps her pass on, with Vesper saying "Thank you," as her parting words. | |
