First, I just wanted to say that I really liked this chapter. Also I don't know if this is a spoiler but just in case i'll mark it as one. I know Sunset is talking about A.J. and I wanted to know, did Sunset's feelings for her start at the beginning of What They Hope to Find or were her feelings there from before. There's a line that insinuates that she liked A.J. for a long time but I just wanted more context. You don't have to tell me just in case it's something that gets talked about later in the story but it would be cool to know. Sorry for the long message this may be something that's obvious but I can be dense sometimes.

You're not dense at all! Now please accept my apology for my long comment.
I've only ever had the chance to focus on Sun/AJ one other time outside of the spinoff fic, and that was way back in chapter 25. I did drop some very subtle hints close to the end when Sunset and AJ talk one on one.
Sunset unconsciously gets into AJ's personal space when asking her to call, then she rubs AJ's back and afterwards feels hyper aware of the contact. She clenches her fist almost in an attempt to deny it. After AJ leaves, Rainbow comes to say goodbye and notices Sunset’s distraction, and Sunset gets embarrassed over what she was distracted by. When Sun watches AJ leave in her truck, it's stated:
The 'other hopes' were for AJ to get over Fluttershy so that Sunset could stop holding back and pursue her. She feels like a hypocrite because she gave Rainbow all this romantic advice that she isn't exactly living by.
Sunset has been aware of her attraction on an unspoken level whilst also trying to consciously ignore it. But she doesn't know how deep her feelings actually are, so she never felt as motivated to act on them until she found herself in a position to help AJ through this tough time.
The second she realized her compassion was motivated by more than just friendship or lust was this chapter. She can't ignore the attraction anymore.
Now for how far back this attraction started... I think I'll cover that in What They Hope to Find.
Does that clear things up?

Aaaah, now I'm getting excited! hehe. Thanks for the clear up. Honestly, you've sold me on this ship more than I'm willing to admit but I'm not mad, now I'm just rooting for them! I can't wait for more.
A new chapter, I’m literally over the moon right now!
And it’s so great! Fluttershy with her wise thoughts and morning doses of truth, tho… Such an angel. The chapter again made me think of how well-written your dialogue is. Every each has a significance and the conversations just flow so... idk, so naturally and beautifully? (Geez, being unable to express myself in English properly is painfully frustrating...) I like reading it so much.
Alsoo, I’ve never thought of shipping Sunset and that someone she wanted to look good for in this chapter. I didn’t even consider this, but now I LOVE this ship! How have I not thought of this before? They seem to go soo well together! The whole WTEtG fanfics series made me ship them so hard and now I struggle with finding stuff related to these two. I’m also fangirling over two ships now while reading, oh my…
The fun has been doubledThank you for the new chapter and all your effort! So excited to see what happens next!
Once again, I'm in love with your story. Since I've discovered it, it never ceases to amaze me and always brightens up my day. Your writing style is perfect for me. I'm so glad I found you! And all the extra materials like author notes with references, recorded songs (Goodness, I love them) and others made me feel highly overwhelmed, like… You are so creative and talented, it’s unbelievable??? This is just... amazing! Your talents are stunning and you’re such an inspiration!
I wish I could make you feel as happy as you make me. It feels unfair that I’m enjoying your content that much. It has this fascinating, healing even, impact on me and always makes me smile from ear to ear. I don’t think I’m capable of doing similar wonders, but I’ll try to come up with something to support you as a reader.
I could go on but I gotta stop because ugh, I talk too freaking much. I'm awfully sorry. Don't mind me...
Absolutely love this story! Its so rare to find one that puts the love before the lust, and you do it all so beautifully.
Glad to have final caught up to this story... started reading it a couple nights ago, and... well, I've just been enraptured with the story!
I even put off reading this chapter until I was home for at least a good amount of time, that way I could properly comment on it.
Man... this is everything you can hope for in a romantically centered story. Or, if that's not the center, a story with strong romantic undertones.
I'll be the first to admit that I love me a good romance, but... some stories over-saturate the "romantic" aspect of the story, and not the story aspect of it.
I'm happy to say this story doesn't do that! It has an... almost perfect balance! That in turn just makes the romance so much better!
Haven't started on the side-story yet, but plan to after I finish writing this.
Just... too many good things to put all in one comment. I'll just sit back and simply say well-done.
I sincerely hope this story continues, and I'll be eagerly awaiting it until then. Just... I love this little story.
Onward!
