Sometimes, all that having an empathetic talk between two friends requires is cool heads and a quiet moment.

And sometimes, it takes a killer robot attack.

Sunset Shimmer and Flash Sentry just needed a bit more of a push than most... because they have more to talk about.

A follow up to the "Cheer You On" short. Part of the Montage Cinematic Universe.

This was not written in the slightest for Oroboro's Super Sunset Shippers Brawl, but after looking over it again... meh, what the hell.

Two awkward ducks walk into a house together. Sunlit snuggles and talks about relationships ensue.

(Takes some inspiration from Study-Cuddling with Sunset Shimmer by CategoricalGrant. Go give him a shout eh?)

Sunset Shimmer and Flash Sentry used to be girlfriend and boyfriend.

Keyword being used to.

After her demonic ascension, the things she did to the school and everybody, not to mention how much of a jerk she could be if angered, Sunset broke up with Flash, a decision she still ponders about to this day.

Clearly, this is a job for ice cream!

As often following a break up, Sunset starts repeating days; as often following Sunset, it's never as simple as that.

And, finally, the day that never ends is yesterday. The girl who left learns to move on.

Sunset is eager to help her friends, and two of them happen to need help that only she can provide. How to make a guy get over his crush on a cute, mysterious, magic-wielding girl that occasionally visits from another dimension? Sunset has an answer.

There's a new mare in town, one that's been hanging around with Stella a LOT. What happens when one of Stella's friends starts wondering who she is, and then gets three other friends to wonder who she is too? Well...that would telling wouldn't it?

I read all the interactions and this just popped into my head, had to write it.

As the announcement of the Fall Formal Princess approaches, Twilight can't bear to keep stringing Flash Sentry along. She has to tell him the truth about who and even what she is.

It's not going to go as she expects. To be fair, neither did Flash's attempt to break up with Sunset.

Rated Teen for astringent language (I'd hardly call it harsh) and acknowledgement of reproduction-adjacent concepts. Cover spliced together from a screencap of the first Equestria Girls movie and a Flash vector by jucamovi1992.

Prom is just around the corner for Canterlot High School, but Sunset Shimmer just can't get excited for it. She doesn't know the reason why, but no matter what she does or who she talks to, she's just not feeling it. She wants to be excited, but she can't conjure up the feeling.

While her friends party and have the time of her life, she goes through the motions, struggling to find herself. But as the night progresses, she begins to discover what she really wants.

A story about anxiety and expectations. Partially inspired by true events. Written as part of a personal 24-hour writing challenge to get my creative juices flowing.

Ever wonder who taught Sunset Shimmer to play the guitar? A simple awkward after-school encounter between her and Flash becomes a look back on their previous relationship, along with a revelation or two.

A normal day at home leads to Flash Sentry having to embark on a simple quest for his girlfriend, needless to say, things get complicated.

Submitted for MLPFan234's Sunset Shimmer contest! Check her stuff out, it's all pretty awesome!
