Sunset Shimmer has been living a reformed life for quite some time now. Whether by fate or random chance, she wound up in a serious relationship with the Twilight of the human world. She's content with where she is and has never been happier to be accepted and loved. In fact, she hopes that this Christmas will give her the opportunity to express how deeply she feels for Twilight.
NOTES
1. Sunlight fluff for the holidays.
2. Third consecutive year for me producing a Christmas special!
3. Post Rainbow Rocks. Featuring EqG-world Twilight. I could have written volumes to explain backstory but c'mon. It's a fluff-shot.
As always, art by BlackWater (me)
Chapters (1)
My godness, that was cute. One of the best Sunlight one-shots I have read! FiMFiction needs more Sunlight shipping! Anyways, good work, I loved it!
awwwww this is so sweet X3 are you going to do more, like Twi finding out Sunset is a pony?
Very very cute :)

I have no plans for a sequel unless people want one. I'd probably address the pony thing if I continued the story.
5380419 ok i hope you do X3
This was really top notch. I was hoping there would be some good romance stories around Christmas time and you did not disappoint. Also, Twilight Velvet seems to love her booze. All she drank of eggnog and wine throughout the day. I guess she really knows how to make it a happy Christmas
This is...insanely cute. I cannot find a single thing wrong with it, i'm sure there must be something but i've been blinded by how much love and effort went into making this awesome piece of work. Great job man.
5387963
Hahaha! Yes, Twilight Velvet is a mother trying to cope with Empty Nest Syndrome.

Thank you. I did put in over a month's worth of work into it. I've sort of been a fan of Sunlight since the first Equestria Girls movie and Rainbow Rocks only gave me a hearty push to write this. I'm a sucker for romance and happy endings, so I'm glad it turned out so well.
Best Christmas.
Holy shit, that was the most diabetus inducing story I have read in a long time. How did I miss this when it was first released? Oh, I am not following you… that must be why. We'll have to fix that.
Brilliant story as always, Blackwater, though I did not a few things:
- Sunset already said she wasn't a bookworm, so don't know why you described her as a readhead.
- Also, the black bag 'her' parents bought for her, that was a little confusing. I am assuming that was Twilight's parents bought it for Sunset? Or did Sunset head back to Equestria to get her parents to buy her one?

Glad you enjoyed it!
Readhead? I write anything involving Twilight and this sort of thing starts to happen.
The bag was bought by Sunset's parents. I didn't bother being too explicit with it because it doesn't really matter all that much. You could think that Twilight's parents bought it for her and there wouldn't be any significant issues. Unless you went looking for comparisons on the cost of the item versus the financial status of the Sparkles...in which case you'd just need to step outside and take a breath of fresh air. Realize there's so much more to life than this.
I'm not sure what it is about Sunlight that ignites my inner "squee." Bookworms and reformed bullies. No clue. I just love it.
5399900
Yeah, I have to agree, Sunlight is totes adorbs.
The parents confusion thing was me trying to work out if she was travelling back and forth to Equestria or not to see her pare— OH MY GLOB! You have to do a meet the pony parents with human Twilight. Awkward shenanigans!
10 outta 10. one of the best Sunlight fics Ive read (Ive only read 3, so thats not saying much)
now if only I had read it with some fitting music. Darksiders 2 is not music Id think would go with this lol
Hot damn this was adorable.
Of course, SunLight tends to lean in that direction anyway, but still.
And so, I have obtained multiple cavities
Quiet possibly the best SunLight fic I have read.
What a beautifully fluffy story. <3
5405963 Agreed.
...sniff... (wipes eyes) That was beautiful. Simply enchanting. I can't say enough good things about this delightful tale.
Yay, i'm 100th like!
omg, there is so much things I want to say that I can't say anything... that was perfect.
I'm pretty sure I was smiling like a total idiot the hole time.
Even though it was obvious what her "special gift" was, I cried when she gave her the ring
I don't know you, but if I see you, I WILL hug you.
5454723
I'll give you a free hug.
*hug*
Oh you must make a sequel this story was far to good to not have one. I swear I could die happy after reading this

I've been seriously thinking about it. I'm currently working to finish another story of mine (A Summer for Couples). I might do a sequel to this story when I've cleared up that time.
Two things!
First: 8/10
Secondly: Dawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
Thirdly (because I can't count): Great story, I might pick up a thing or two from this for my own Sunlight shipfic. (and yes, shameless advertising is shameless...still a good story though)
So beautiful
Daaaaaaaaaaaaawwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So cute!!!!!!!!!!!
If I didn't know better... I'd ask why you were spying on my wife and I when I first proposed lol. This was beautiful - thanks for writing it!
This fic... Just... this fic. Hits Fave.

Thank you and you're welcome. It was a joy to write.
You know, Christmas is slowly coming around again. I always do a one-shot. Even though I've continued this story in Twilight Shimmer, I just might write a special Christmas story for them again. Except that I've already started writing it.
6578876
This is so adorable, and its one of my favorite SunLight stories! You're a really good writer!
God damn it.
Now my face hurts! Are you happy?
...
Seriously, I might need a doctor. I can't stop smiling. It actually hurts.
...
send help plz
I want to say so much, but alas I can't find the words. The best way to describe my current state of mind is "happy" and "warm." Especially warm. I love this pair, I love this story, I love fluffy romance, and GOD DAMMIT do I love this feeling. Thank you so much for writing this. Instant favourite; it's so well done and I only wish there were more like it.
I hate to follow up with a random unimportant detail, but one thing confused me slightly:
Whose parents? Twilight's? I can only assume so because her parents are the only ones involved in the story. But it's Sunset's bag, and Sunset is the only character in question when this sentence happens, so it confused me. Seeing as Sunset's parents were never explored canonically, they definitely didn't follow her to the human world, and it's assumed that their absence is a large part of why she chooses to spend her holiday with her loved one's family. Again....sorry for a nitpick that takes longer than my cheerful comment. I'm just stupidly curious. ^^'
6622738 I can tell how much it hurts from that smiley profile pic.
Ouch!
thank you... just... thank you... I get so sentimental when SunLight stories have turns and twists that get to downer cliffhangers, that I just NEED to find some happy, drama-less fluff to put me in the best mood possible... I'm almost crying, specially because I know this shipping is 95% not likely to happen on canon (and I say 95% because Korra and Steven Universe have set a precedent, and because I like to just hope
), but I still get all giddy about these two nerds getting some well deserved fluff

Your welcome! And I get what you mean about downers. I have my limits when it comes to that. After all, I read for enjoyment not depression. On that note, I'm finishing up this year's Christmas special. It's a tie-in to the sequel to this story, Twilight Shimmer. Maybe you'll enjoy that too when it comes out in a few days.
(where's my Christmasy emote?)
6759221 I'll make sure to read the sequel, then
Damnit this is so bloody cute
it's on my re read list. 
I was reading this while listening to Michael Bublè. It fits well with the story
Beautiful ... just so powerfully beautiful.
I....i even describe my giddiness in words.
Who butters a ham?It may sound silly, but this is kind of more fluffy than I was really looking for.That said, this line is brilliant and earns you an upvote. :D Their banter was actually quite good.
This was a very beautiful story for Twilight and Sunset, and to think you did this before Friendship Games. I am very impressed with this story, good work, and I really loved it.
Awww <3
That's such a sweet story!
I personally wish there was a prequel of sort. Cadance being sort of famous perked my interest.
Twilight confessing her love to Sunset in the past too.
The picture at the very start of this adorable story was broken, unfortunately. Some of the art pieces in your stories haven’t been showing up.
This was an adorable Sunlight Christmas fic. Can't wait to read more of this series of stories
It could also be her cutie mark. 😏
See, was that hard enough to do twilight?
Ha ha very funny shinning armor. 😒
Pinkie is an expert at it. 😉
That sure came out of nowhere. 😦
Hubby?
The perfect gift for a perfect girlfriend. Twilight really out did herself. 😁
Lol 😂
I feel the same shining armor.
A great way to end a great Christmas.
This is so cute, thanks author!!
