Sunset Shimmer returns to Equestria to enjoy a traditional Hearth's Warming Party, and happens to meet a rather charming stallion named Sunburst. However, when Stellar Flare sees the pair, she makes a dramatic revelation. One that injects uncertainty and awkwardness into what was such a pleasant evening.

Really good stuff. Got to admit with their respective colour schemes I did wonder if they were related somehow.
All in all a very nice holiday themed read!
I dont often say this but a follow up epilog or other short story would be interesting on your take.
Merry Christmas!
Good story. I liked that the question remains whether Sunset and Sunburst are really brothers. Regardless of whether that is true or not, the two of them have met someone to enjoy the holidays with.
Sunburst having read it would imply Twilight wrote it down somewhere.
I see Sunset's villainous tendencies are still somewhat intact. Oh Sunny, never change.
This was kinda cute, actually.
As am I! Thank you so much for this. It was a genuine treat to read!

Of course Twilight wrote it down, it's Twilight.

True, but I would hope they are private writings, as you would think Twilight would want the existence of an alternate world kinda hush-hush. But then again, Sunburst might be close enough to have access to said writings.
This was quite adorable and a very enjoyable read
Aw this is very good
"The only thing behind her was a rather plain painting of apples. Sunset could only imagine who had donated such a picture to Twilight’s castle."

“Maybe that’s a clue I should avoid talking with Tempest.” ... Or it's just Twilight Sparkle expies. Maybe Moondancer's his type??

Hmm... So, there's no genetic scan spells outthere? Hmm.
Another well-written work. Personally, this is one of the most enjoyable Sunburst-Sunset relation revelation plot I've read so far. I'd say Stellar Flare appearance did save any potential bigger awkward moment down the line if those two begin to date for real.
I enjoyed this, I hope that someone does an expansion or fic based on this one as it has great potential.
HaHa! ...the way it sounds to me, you need a bad influence in your life, even now.”
Feels a bit contrived. Stellar is able to recognize her full grown daughter despite knowing her for all of a minute at birth? And that plot point should be the crux of the story itself, but it's skipped over just for sibling awkwardness.
Like the idea of them being siblings, and not knowing about each other🤣😂
Really good story
Thinking about it, and something made me think that Sunset might have a Manehattenite accent, which Stellar Flare might recognize given how she spent a big chunk of her time there, or something? Which would be quite a difference from any Canterlot filly at Celestia's school? How many fillies fit the description if that's added into the mix, I wonder.
