The story begins as Sunset confronts Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna sometime after the Friendship Games, pointing out how, despite all the weirdness that's happened, they don't react like normal people do -- i.e., calling the cops or military in on things. That's when she finds out that the sisters and some of the other school staff have been hunting monsters around Canterlot for years, and they know how to handle them. Sunset promptly decides to join the group. Slice-of-life adventures with a band of monster hunters ensue.

The sequel picks up two years later as Sunset heads off to her second year of college.

* AudienceParticipation: In Chapter 38, appropriately titled "As Paths Diverge", Dan invites his readers to vote on whether [[spoiler:Adagio should remain on Earth or follow her siren sisters into Equestria to be enrolled in the School of Friendship.]]

Adagio doesn't give up those scheming instincts when she lies to Sunset to try to drive off the competition for Applejack, but the [[INeedAFreakingDrink several times she resorts to alcohol]] have shown that she resents what that outlook has gotten her.
