Lyra and Bon Bon survive two horrifying nights of a terrifying supercell above their heads from a deadly tornado outbreak that has been going on in Equestria for days. After striking the house and a really big one striking the movie theater. The two can only hope for the best while these monster tornadoes rip apart everything in their path during this outbreak.

Inspired by two 1996 films.

A direct to TV film “Night of the Twisters”, and the blockbuster film “Twister”.

I didn't know what I was expecting when I rushed to help an unconscious girl I found laying on the school grounds, alone with no memories. I didn't expect a mystery. I didn't expect to dig so deep into a rabbit hole. I didn't expect to find love.

On the way home, Sunset finds a girl, laid out in a field near the school, unconscious, injured, and with no recollection on who she was or what happened. Feeling the need to bring closure, Sunset decided to help the girl trace back her steps to where she found her. Along the way, they grow closer to each other. But their journey to find answers might give them the kind of answers that they won't want to hear. What was the girl doing out in the field? What was she running away from? Can she run away from them?

Shortdesc

Destabilized by Equestrian magic, Wallflower’s world is dying. For its sake, Sunset had to leave forever. All Wallflower can do is hold on to the last connection they still have: the journal Sunset left behind.

Review

Long-Distance is a wrenching story and more than one of our judges said that, though they won’t ever be able to bring themselves to re-read it, it will stay with us for a long time. Everything is ending, it may or may not be anyone’s fault, and there is nothing anyone can do about it. The time it will take to reach that final tragedy doesn’t make it any less remote. Sunset and Wallflower are separated across worlds, and have only Sunset’s journal to link them. One of them will die and the other will live on. They’re left to learn how to cope with and share and grieve the time they have left.

Long-Distance is superbly written, with just enough detail about the nature of the tragedy to make it feel realized without overwhelming readers with exposition. There’s a novel’s worth of story in this short story, but none of it feels compressed. Sunset and Wallflower’s tightly written, wrenching, and affecting, and the last chapter left us breathless.

--Judges of Scampy's SunFlower Shipping Contest

The result was an emotional tale of making the best out of a bad situation through inevitability and – if you’ll pardon the title drop – long distance. Bicyclette’s work is a delightful story that exemplifies how to Show a hard-hitting story through meaningful dialogue, contextual narrative clues, vivid scene setting, and a firm grasp of the characters and their struggles.

The memory stone was gone, and Wallflower Blush had the chance to start again. I'll guide her along the path that she never saw before. She'll see the beauty of it, she'll grow with it... I'll make sure nothing bad happens to her.

Sunset and Wallflower have been dating for a while now. Wally’s recently moved in, and Sunset figures it’s time to introduce her lover to her fan base. Plus, it would help Wally break out of her shell a little bit. But when the show is about to start, Wallflower’s fears rise to the surface, forcing her and Sunset to open old wounds.

Wallflower wants to go out with Sunset. If only she weren’t crippled by nervousness and insecurity.

Sunset has her own project, mentoring a young girl. And for some reason, she rubs Wallflower the wrong way.

There’s no way this can end badly.

Written for Scampy’s SunFlower Shipping Contest (\o/)

Sunset Shimmer, who is catastrophically out of Wallflower Blush's league, has come back to town for the summer. Sunset is very kind and attentive. She likes hugs. She keeps coming up with cute little inside jokes. She stares, piningly, when she thinks Wallflower isn't looking.

So, it would just be very easy for Wallflower to get the wrong impression.

Which is why she was happy when she stumbled across a way to know the objective truth about how she and Sunset measure up against one another.

A last-second entry in the Sunflower Shipping Contest.

It seems like a curse.

Wallflower is living a peaceful life in the big city. It is a place of comfort for her. A place for her to grow. But the place she has chosen is expensive and requires another person to help pay for the rent and utilities. It wouldn't be a problem for her except that every six months when the lease needs to be renewed, the roommate leaves for one reason or another and they never speak to her again. It has been like this for the past couple of years for Wallflower. The constant loneliness and stress of being abandoned. She needs a friend that she can be important for. One who would help her and make her feel wanted. Alas, it feels pointless for Wallflower to try. Everyone she knows eventually leaves her.

Then one night, Wallflower decides to go out and just relax. Enjoy the coming summer. It was during this night that she bumps into Sunset Shimmer, an old friend she hasn't talk to in a while. Turns out Sunset has been displaced and is looking for a place to stay.

So Wallflower offers her place to stay for the summer. But with each month that passes by, the two of them grow closer together. Will Wallflower be able to keep Sunset when the inevitable happens and they are forced apart? Will they be able to upgrade their relationship to something beyond just friends? Is there a way for Wallflower to break this curse?

Only time will tell.

No sex, just a dirty joke but who knows where people are going to draw the line.

On a road not taken...
Two young women meet. Both with extraordinary powers. Both with extraordinary grudges.
Between the two of them, nothing can stand in their way.
Not even each other.
