This story is a sequel to Shards of Incongruence
A couple of months after meeting her human counterpart, they continue to spend time together doing totally innocent things like kissing and cuddling and also not so innocent things like... holding hands. It’s been going great, so Sunset finally introduces her to her friends. As her girlfriend. It goes pretty much as well as she was expecting it to. How often do you get to tell your friends that you’re dating yourself, anyway?
Thanks to Bike for helping me with the short desc and the name honestly this fic goes out to you!
Cover art commissioned by Bike and drawn by me lmfao.
Sex tag for a fair amount of suggestive jokes, and profanity tag because they hecking swear!!!
Chapters (2)
the idea for this cover is one of the proudest achievements of my life, and personally i cannot wait for this comment to come back to haunt me when i run for Senate in 2044

A sequel to the sequel? Thats crazy!!1!1!1!
11309986
Shes so relatable
11309999
I think they call that a series
Very nice fluff. Wholesome.
Hehe I love it
I bet that this is great, like the rest of your works, so I'll give it an upvote and be on my way. Toodles!
Rather like the long haired Sunset.
IF the Sonsets also share Twilight! laugh
Oh, i liked this alright, I even loved it. Just like I loved the previous story (both versions) Your writing keeps being top notch and you should feel proud of it!
That said, I really love what differences the two Sunset's have, and specially what they tell about Shimmer's life. The turtle neck hiding her neck, the more muscular physique from a rougher life, the vice that is probably caused by the stress of said life. It's all great details that expand the character without really saying much.
Amazing job!

Haha thanks for the vote of confidence and the upvote :)

the ULTIMATE polycule!

Hey thanks! I’m glad someone pointed out those little things. I put em in there but wasn’t sure if anyone would pick up on it. You’re absolutely spot on. Again, thanks for the kind words!
11310222
Thanks !!
11310613
and rainbow's response was spot on
I for one, am really glad this got made. The story just didn't feel complete without introductions to the human six. Well done too.
11311023
thanks very much! Im inclined to agree, from the moment I wrote the first one I knew I wanted to write a meeting with the human six, or at least I had thought about it
Whether it's incest, masturbation, or just uber-narcissism, it doesn't change one thing: it's hot. 😘
Well, that’s certainly one of the cover arts of all time
This fic has my attention from that alone, and I have a feeling I’ll like it. Will give an update once I’ve read through it
Something I'd seriously like to see from one of these fics: what do they say to people when they are just randomly in public. I'm sure the sunsets largely wouldn't care, but they'd have to come up with an excuse at some point. Not that this wasn't good, I just think this faces the, "is this weird" question a lot more than others have in the past. Very fun.
11314015
Yeah that’s a good point. I don’t think I’ve ever really seen that aspect explored! Most of the selfcest fics I’ve seen are just… smut. I reckon they’d either just make some joke about it to confuse whoever’s asking or say they just happen to look alike or something. Thanks for the comment!
11314332
Most any that I've seen, (seeing that I don't usually go for the smutty ones) usually end too soon for my taste. They all have the same conclusion: "Wait, are we really considering this?" "Yeah I think we are." "Will this actually work?" "I guess there's only one way to find out." So I very much applaud you for at least going to that next step.
🌞 🌞 Yes?
Dorks!
So three way with twilight in the next story?
11339696
Haha, idk if Twilight would go for that. But maybe she just needs to get used to there even being two of em
It might have been a sequel that only a few wanted, but I thought it was great. I imagine if your muse strikes again these two might find themselves in another story. Well done.
11340314
Haha thanks for the comment! Who knows? I do find myself making sequels for random stories time to time… Maybe this will be one of those AUs that I write for whenever I have an idea :)
dang i haven't seen one of those popcorn ceilings in a while!
haha, i remember Twilight getting confused by that, that was fun!
Sunset and human Sunset have so much in common with each other re: having to learn about friendship! this only proves that they should be shipped together
nice strategic interruption
so true!
yeah honestly compared to that revelation, dating the alternate universe version of yourself doesn't seem too weird, does it?
kinda want to see this rougher Sunset's reaction to that kind of a thing
lmao, can't avoid this even when dating yourself!
aww yeah another thing for her to get used to!
ahaha that is so inappropriately Rainbow Dash
aww mysterious backstory!
and this is a sweet callback to Celestia's breakfast obsession
very appropriate movie to watch for a pair of doppelgängers
piracy is fun
so true, it's like, really deep, man
brave words coming from somepony named "Sunset Shimmer"!
mysterious backstory! also, darn that Society!
augh, love that. what better way to reach the full depths of emotional vulnerability than dating a copy of yourself?
well she is the better motorcyclist!
nice, love it
love this classic Pinkie subtlety
aww such a perfectly EqG Rarity reaction i love it
i love these last lines so much. they are nailed just so perfectly
leather jacket and cigarette smoke, human Sunset is so cool!
it's different when Shimmer says it!
hell yeah!
ahaha love how straight to business Applejack is (and yes Applejack got both her name and hat from her dad, makes you think, etc.)
aww Twilight why you gotta be like that?
oof, so glad Sunset is there to understand Shimmer so well
oof, turned that one around! and a hint at why Twilight is so against this, haha
aww, such a fun Pinkie moment! great one to end it on, calling back embarrassing nicknames and showing the first step in Shimmer accepting being vulnerable to her new friends.
it was definitely the place to end it, i'd say, unless you wanted to devote another 10kw to resolving a conflict. now it's a sweet slice of life about how in a world where cartoon pony magic needs to be defeated by magic rocks and musical numbers, dating an alternate universe version of yourself is not weird at all and is in fact very good.
really glad i got to see another glimpse into the lives of my favorite version of the Sunset x Sunset ship, thank you so much for it jay!
11351267
Yay bike comments! Always love to see em. Also, about the popcorn ceiling, I have one of those were I live so I really just took inspiration from that :)
And yea damn, I wonder what Shimmer’s mysterious backstory is…
11351272
I guess now I’ll have to write a 10k story as a conflict resolution. Scratch that, make it a 20k, just for the extra funs and feels. I’m glad you liked it tho! Haha, and surely you dont mean that comment about it being your favourite version of the Sunset x Sunset ship (aka the best ship out there).
And yes, Applejack is truly just a business gal and its totally just normal things for her defining features to be picked by her dad H M M M
everyone: compliments shimmer, sight unseen
also everyone: no fucking idea what to do with shimmer, sight seen
pinkie's "ohhh, i get it" is fantastic
ah, lovely.
yay! i loved how rainbow took 30 seconds before deciding she'd totally do the same thing
and then pinkie just wanted to pick a nickname
loved it, and love the cover art!
11360363
Hehe thanks for both your comments :) And you can thank Bike for the cover art, she commissioned me to draw it! It’s truly amazing
It's funny how every time something related to social media is referenced or some technology-related term comes up, I feel like I'm aging a couple decades. Ah well.
You wanted to know if I liked it. I did. I appreciate how grounded and nonplussed they all react to the news. 'I know it's weird-' - 'Yeah. So?' Made me smile. I somehow didn't expect Twilight to be the one having the most 'issues' with it. Then again, I didn't really expect anyone else in that role either. Eh.
The whole story is... tangible, if that makes sense? It's something that, for the most part, might happen in this world.
Thank you for writing!
11443206
Thanks again for the comment.
When I was writing this I thought it’d be funny to make it so that no one else really cared or thought it was weird. I mean, they’ve all been on the receiving end on evil equestrian magic and have seen Equestria, ponied up, and turned into ponies. Twilight it just a bit more logic based than that, and personally I like the idea that even though she knows magic exists, she still liked to be logical in a scientific way about everything. Plus maybe she’s a little jealous ;)
Again thanks for the comment :)
11444888
If anyone will figure it out, it's probably Twilight.
Neat. I was still trying to figure out if I just imagined a jealous undertone.
And hey, what was that quote again? "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Maybe it's all just nanobots.
It also wouldn't make sense they'd all be awake that early in the morning.
That would be exhausting.
Seriously Dash, seriously!
Lol, raw-dogging!
Apparently.
Still, it's better than what Rainbow did.
