Years spent learning and sacrificing. Years spent turning down friendship. Sunset gave up everything. That was ok though. She was willing to be strong and make those sacrifices. She had to be. Sunset was Princess Celestia's star pupil and was destined for great things. Her faith in Celestia and her future at her side burned brighter than the sun... or at least it did...
The books in the libraries forbidden section revealed much. They revealed that everything she had strived for was and has been in reach for years. They revealed just how easy obtaining her goals were. Worst of all they revealed that Celestia had kept her from rising. Nothing could have hurt her worse...
The artist of the cover pic is InuHoshi-to-DarkPen. This is an amazing picture!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand first
Poor Sunset, always being held back and having her potential stifled. At least, that's what she thinks. Interesting how she's sorta become a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds in the fandom. Not that I'm complaining; I do the same thing.
A nice look into what the comic only scratched the surface of.

Making us feel sorry for Sunset 's misguided affection, bordering fanatism, without turning Celestia into a manipulative monster... I'm impressed.

And, as to the actual image itself, the name of it:

6189694 You're quite welcome, my friend! Glad I could help!
As it happens, I had another browser window open to my DA page when I saw that, so I did a bit of digging and found of that.
And yes, it is. I just love InuHoshi's work!
6189694 You might want to take the "I don't know who did the artwork" down from the description because it's still there after the credit.
6192834 LOL thank you!
Really good job you've done here, so that's one of my favourites but with a little something that makes it above the rest (when it comes to short stories using parts of "The Fall of Sunset Shimmer ;)

Thank you. She is my favorite character! I love her story arc and think she needs to return to the show
It gives you mental health in return, and nothing bar your own life, is more important than mental health.
If you were a quarter as smart as you believe you are, would realise that the reason you aren't a princess yet is because you aren't ready.
A teacher wants better for their student, Celestia wants you to be happy and to succeed her in the right path, a lesson that Twilight learned.
This is sort of Celestia’s fault, she didn't emphasize the importance of friendship in the MLP world
Are you insinuating that Celestia made the Sun?
