Solstice Shimmer


One that somehow finds time to overthink about magical ponies, and sometimes write about it.

What if the pony you thought you were turned out to be a lie? Would you be willing to find out who you truly are?

Hmm. This sounds interesting so far. I can't wait for more.

Hmm. I wonder what's going to happen.

Wow.
That was absolutely amazing!!!
It was kind of obvious with the name Shimmer. And the Sunset Shimmer tag....
Be quiet, inner hater! This is fantastic!
Being serious, my reaction was a mix of inner hater (green) and inner lover (purple).:pinkiehappy:
I can't wait to see more.

Whoa whoa whoa. What? Are you serious?

Wow ok this sounds really interesting!

Hmm... I'll need inner hater and inner lover to help comment on this chapter.
At least now we have a chance to hear Sunset's side. AND WE GET TO GO TO THE HUMAN WORLD! LET'S GO, WONDERCOLTS!
I can't wait to hear what little miss Wondercolt has to say for herself. She better be at least out of high school by now.
INNER HATER... you actually have a point. Some high schoolers can have... moments they regret. Then they give away the products of their... mistakes. It is not impossible for Sunset to have had a... mistake in high school that prompted her to give away Solstice (the product) as soon as she was born.
See? My hater instinct is never wrong.
Once again, a mix of these two perspectives.

I'm really curious how and when sunset had a child so this should be fun.

Um so how far ahead is this from canon, like estimated time?

*sniff**sniff* I need a moment to, uh, do stuff. Inner lover, you're in charge.*leaves room while sobbing at the mother-daughter moment*
Yes! I'm in charge! Like PfP said, really sweet part at the end.
Softie. The best part was when she fell on the ground after coming out the portal.
Am not. You're just a meanie, inner hater! Anyway, that's everthing I have to say about this chapter.
I'm back. My reaction was just inner lover this time.

This is a couple years after the friends have graduated from Canterlot High. So about two or three years.
Btw Keep in mind that time works differently in the two worlds. In Equestria the friends have jobs and are living on their own while in the human world they are still in High School.

I doubt that Sunset is old enough to give birth to Sol in her current body.

Plot-wise, the story is like a reverse Little Mermaid so far.

And this pretty much confirms that Sunset's a mom in a teenage body.

I like to see her confront her Father I'm sure he in prisoned I bet.

Well this is the chapter that got me to favorite, congratulations sir.

"Twilight told me that after I left Princess Celestia found out about you. She somehow found your father and got rid of him so he would never hurt you. Then she changed your name and gave you my last name. It was sort of out of respect for me I guess."

Reminds me of Naruto.

"I knew what he did to me and I was scared. I didn't know how Princess Celestia would react to her student being....pregnant. And at my age!

Sunset should meet Pony! Derpy... or whatever her real name is. Finally, Sol's story reminds me of Scootaloo.

6729149 I think it would be nice to make ones mind up in a few Nano seconds?
wouldn't it?

Great chapter. The mother daughter moment is so cute that I can't say anything but awww to it.
So that's what happened. I wonder how Celestia got rid of Solstice's father....
THIS CHAPTER IS ONE OF FIVE REASONS WHY I'M TRACKING THIS! The five reasons are the five chapters.
Great Awesome chapter!

Nice chapter. You're doing way better than I'm doing with my story.

Chose your mother! Be happy Solstice!

Chose to watch The Search for Santa Paws! The puppy dies saving Santa from dying... then Santa revives the puppy as a reward!

The writing is improving as each chapter comes out. Good work!

Nice chapter.

I've read my fair share of stories with weird dreams, but this one is somehow more crazy- for lack of a better word- than other dreams I've read. And 'crazy' in a good-ish way.

Awww. I don't know if I should roll my eyes at Solstice falling asleep in the car, or compliment AJ on helping her to bed. But shouldn't Sunset had put het to bed?

6759622
Solstice's dream is meant to be quite crazy yes. As for AJ carrying her in, I regret that part now that I reread my writing.
No worries more Sunset & Solstice moments will be given next chapter!

I'm loving this story so far. Just a couple of minor grievances.
A couple of instances of missing words.
You mentioned her cutie mark without saying what it is, anywhere in the story, unless I missed it in an earlier chapter.

6766587 if he did mention it, I missed it too.

6726577 either that or they were sisters but the title is daughter of the Phoenix.

Strange spirit? Like where this is going.
She stayed in the human world? Like where this is going.
Did I enjoy it? Of course. I like love where this is going

Edgar Allan Poe anyone?

OK, so I'm loving this fic, but it's gotten to the point were I probably can't read it one chapter at a time without it plaguing my mind, wondering what's going to happen next, tormenting me in my sleep! So I'm going to wait until there are a few more chapters to read anymore of it.:twilightsmile:

6778494 if so, then it's great to be reading his stuff again. If not, it's a great story.

Still, this spirit... why is she helping/hindering Solosis?

6779393 I'm pretty sure that a large number of people have heard of Edgar Allan Poe or have read his work. My personal favorite is the Cask of Alamontilado.

6779810 ive only seen one on the original account, or im thinking of someone else with a simular name. :ajsleepy:

6779810 I have two faves: for poems its The Raven, and for short stories its either Masque of the Red Death or The Pit and the Pendulum. So actually three…?

This got really dark.... continue :trixieshiftright:

BRING ON THE SUNLIGHT!!!

6789702 I Agree with her/him. Nice chapter! Now let's see how this will turn out....

Seriously? They are carrying Solstice by motorbike?! Did they also carried her in bike to the house too? (it wasn't mentioned)?

That's absurdly irresponsible from everyone/pony else. Solstice has been a human for just a few minutes and she's still getting used to her new body shape. Now she has to literally hang on the driver for her life, while being distracted by being in a whole new world and the whole "meet your mother" thing. Worst case, Sunset should have arranged a taxi if nobody had a car.

For some reason, I feel that Raven Nevermore is just the inner-hatred Solstice has for Sunset for leaving her, but was strong enough to become a spirit. Now they are one again, I think one would consume the other...

Anyway, great chapter. The Plot Thickens :rainbowderp:

6792313
Thank you. & yes indeed, the plot does seem to be getting a little tense:trixieshiftleft:

6791494 Is it that hard to wrap your arms around someone? And no, I'm not joking, I'm seriously asking because I've never ridden a bike before!

6793564 To be fair I haven't ride a bike either so I can't be certain.

That doesn't mean I dont have an argument to consider bikes riskier, though: what's the price for an insurance (for injuries towards people) for cars vs. bikes? Where I live the law-mandated insurance for bikes costs around thrice the cost for cars. And considering the cost of an insurance is a measure of the rish the insurance company can allow itself, then I can only conclude that, in broad strokes, bikes are riskier for personal injuries than cars.

That doesn't even consider Solstice is in a new body and in a whole new world. She might lost concentratoin and lose her grip on the driver more easily just because she saw a huge advertising poster. And that's the kind of line of thinking at least her own mother should have thought.

6793607 Yeah... Total risk. Twilight should've said something!

I still believe Raven is Solstice, maybe the future version of Solstice.

Can't wait for more of this :twilightsmile:

Methinks that Raven is really Searing in Solstice's body.

6803628
An interesting theory:trixieshiftright:
Maybe she is maybe she isn't.

6803412
I'm glad you're enjoying it:ajsmug:
As for your theory, maybe that 1 is true. Or not:trixieshiftleft:
We shall find out

6803908 Is this all written (as in you are adding chapters one by one, but the whole story is ready to go up), or are you allowing our comments to guide the story a bit?
