Just a nice, polite Canadian.

This story is a sequel to Sombra The Highly Unmotivated


Following his tumultuous defeat, King Sombra is flung across space and time to exit out a human's malfunctioning toaster. Forced to live together, the only question becomes which one will kill the other first?

A collection of shorts detailing the first seven months of Sombra's and Steve's rather rocky relationship. Disregarding the first few chapters, this one will be a lot more slice of life than the original story.

Update: labelled as complete. Honestly can't see myself adding anymore chapters in the near future.

Chapters (5)

:ooo surprised you came back to the Unmotivated Sombra storyline

Despite some disappointment at how the original story turned (bit too dramatic a turn to the dark for my tastes,) I am fucking ecstatic to see more Steve and the Couch Pony.

I laughed so much as I read this. Thanks!

Yesss! It returns! Can't wait to read more Sombra n' Steve adventures. Just sucks that every few seconds i am reminded Steve died...

Ah... I certainly welcome this story, and am interested in how far you'll go with it. As you have stated prior, "it'll most likely remain as Incomplete." However, that doesn't necessarily mean that there wouldn't be miniature arcs to show the development in their relationship, as opposed to only single-chaptered shorts. Either way, I'm certainly glad to see more of this entertaining duo.

6155199 Very true. I guess that's why I started it from the very beginning, to showcase the eventual change between the pair. Any arcs in the story, I'd consider small and loose, but that doesn't mean there won't be some.

6154086 Sorry about that. But it doesn't happen for another 120 years, so there's that. Alternate title: "120 Years a Slave". (I'm a terrible person... :unsuresweetie:)

6153961 You're welcome!

6153831 I came back to this story for a lot of reasons. I still really like the characters and their interactions; it's not a direct sequel to the first, more like some scenes that could've been included but weren't; and, it'll be a lot lighter and looser than the first, although I do love my shades of black from time to time.

6156544 That was the first question my editor asked me. I'm surprised everyone remembers Mittens. Yes, Mittens will be around. Not for long. :rainbowkiss:

Well, that is certainly some way to make a first impression :rainbowlaugh:

Sombra is lucky he didn't end up in a redneck's home.

Would've gotten shot.

Oh god I forgot he ate mittens :raritydespair:

Mittens! Noooo!

That alone justifies murdering Sombra....painfully.

Oh right, we'll get to find out, at least partly, how did Sombra do the deed of eating the cat. That... is not something to look forward to, but I trust you'll be able to make it into something amusing nevertheless.

Psst! Sombra! Cat's are made of bacon! No really... would this face lie? :raritywink:

6187228 Hmm. Now how do I properly describe the Mittens incident without completely disgusting the audience. :pinkiesick: Maybe only make it 10,000 words and not 15,000. :rainbowlaugh:

6188686 I've never watched an episode of Alf, but I heard he ate cats, didn't he?

6190952

As long as Mitten died while fighting honorably!

You all may remember that Sombra had consumated upon that of the cat's flesh, but one important question remains...
How did he eat it? Perhaps boiled. Maybe using the oven. Raw might be fine, as well...

And if he ever asked for seconds.

Heh heh...

6190952 Or just troll them and make it 25000 while changing the tag to M :rainbowwild:

Steve and Sombra kinda reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes in a weird twisted way.:

And I can't wait to see Sombra's first reaction to video games like Call of Duty: Black Ops and Fallout 3 and his reaction to his first pizza. And seeing Sombra watch shows like Doctor Who and Dan Vs. in a way Sombra kinda act like Dan it would interesting that in this universe the MLP: FIM doesn't exist but Dan Vs. is still airing.

6194926 I think Sombra watch Dan Vs would be seriously interesting. :pinkiehappy:

Yes, I kinda sorta did...:facehoof:
Muzzle covered in fur... and (cat)sup... rofl. Well played Sombra, well played.

So... Sombra didn't actully kill Mittens? Thank Celestia!
...
Wait...
...
What happened to Mittens after Sombra threw him out? Did Mittens never even try to come back?

6217347 Everyone must really think I'm a sick and twisted person; actually writing in detail the death and dismemberment of an innocent little kitty. :fluttershysad: Thank you! I try my best! :scootangel:

Later, Steve asks for Sombra to apologize for eating Mittens, to which Sombra accepts the blame, but doesn't apologize.

So, to say the least, Steve never sees Mittens again. Although perhaps Sombra would see and prevent the cat from returning. Who's to say? (Well, that would be the author, but you get the point.)

6220039 I would apologize profusely, but then I remember little Applebloom from your changeling story. {Shudder}.
One day sir, you and I need to write up a good Nightmare Night story. Mwahahahaaa!:trixieshiftright:

Alright, I do admit - you got me there :rainbowlaugh:

watered down ketchup still doesn't look quite like blood...

6235642 Thank you! I appreciate this comment. :pinkiehappy:

Urge to kill Sombra rising.

Well... Sombra went from being an asshole to... well... okay, he didn't change, he's still an asshole.

6250308 I try to keep characters consistent. :rainbowlaugh:

6249296 I'm so thrilled! :pinkiehappy:

6251765 In that case you have a flawless record! :rainbowlaugh:

That was some deft writing with Mittens. I was wondering how all of that was going to work out. And now Steve could be in real trouble.
Hmm, I won't even try to speculate anymore, just gonna sit back and enjoy.
Besides, I still have to clean my monitor from your comment from the OTHER story... (Thx, again so much for that...:raritywink:)

Oh god, why is this cute? Do I just find animals cute by default even when they are total jerks? I should not get the same feelings reading this chapter as I do reading "Bathtime for Ponies"!

And I get the feeling that Steve never learned of the deception.

6254141 That's the art of writing dick characters. You give them cute things to do and readers will be able to tolerate them more. :twilightoops: Oops. Shouldn't give away my secrets.

I shuttered as Sombra kicked off the floor to lick at my face. Successfully dragging his tongue from my chin to my eye, he left me alone and made his way to Roland.

Perhaps you had meant "shuddered?" I could be wrong, but...

6262694 Nope. You're correct. Which is sad, because this is the second story I've done the same mistake and someone's made mention of it... :unsuresweetie:

Why do I feel cheated? I LIKE cats xD

6293919 You and most of the internet, it seems... :trixieshiftright:
