After her first foray into making friends with Trixie, Starlight Glimmer has been more open to the idea of making new friends. Not all meetings work out as expected, but for the most part, things have been going smoothly for her. But within the castle's library, she meets a visitor named Sunset Shimmer, the mare's presence surprising her. And even though Starlight finds Sunset to be unlike anypony she's ever met before, there are some things she'd rather keep secret. As it turns out, Sunset has some secrets of her own.
Chapters (1)
So... This is a Sunset x Starlight fanfic? Hum... Okay, let's track it and see where it goes.
7433754 Yep! It's a ship I felt like writing about and haven't seen that often on FiMFiction. And given their similarities, it is a pairing I think has quite a lot of potential. Anyway, thank you for looking at the story and for commenting!
7433761 Question. Is Sunset x Starlight called Starset? Other than that, this story is going on tracking.
7433946 To be honest, I haven't seen that many names for this ship. ShimmerGlimmer seems to be the popular one at the moment, though Starset could also work. And thank you for looking at the story. I highly appreciate it!
7433951 Your welcome. This story started nicely and I want to see how it follows through.
Great start, Mana! Considering their pasts and being students of Twilight, if these two met they'd become friends at the very least.
7434055 Given their pasts and how they've changed as characters, I thought that pairing the two together might make for a fun tale. And thank you for checking out the story and for the compliment!
dammit. Soon as i read the title of the chapter i sang it like Michael Jackson's Man in the Mirror. Curse you!
7434189 Hadn't noticed that until you pointed it out. That being said, the song you're referring to is a great one in my opinion. I really should listen to music more often. It helps out a lot when writing a story or chapter.
Anyway, thank you for taking a look at the story and for commenting.
7433761 You're welcome. I like seeing new ideas of pairings that includes at least one of my favorite MLP characters.
Reading this has made me wish even harder that Sunset would finally appear in the series rather than just be in the EqG movies. I can definitely see their first encounter being like this.
Great work. I'll be looking forward to reading more.
7434452 Yeah, I'd love to see Sunset return to Equestria at some point. There are a lot of ways one could use her character given her past and how she has changed throughout the EqG movies. And thank you for the compliment and for taking a look at the story!
7434458
No problem. I'll definitely have to give some of your other stories a read some time.
Kirby! Or maybe dark meta knight. Idk
7434736 As a Kirby fan, I actually understood that reference. Haven't played Amazing Mirror yet, but as I loved Superstar Ultra, Return to Dreamland, and Crystal Shards, I'd probably enjoy that game as well. Anyway, thank you for checking out the story. I highly appreciate it!
This chapter is written clearly enough, but there's rather too much introduction and exposition. Some of that can happen off-page.
7435001 You make a strong case, and I'll keep that in mind moving forward. Thanks for your thoughts on the story and for looking at it. I'll try my best to improve as I continue writing.
Yay a new story by you I know it'll be good. But sunset and starlight idk but we'll see.
i dont think gaia everfree is going to be from equestria im pretty sure she is from the human world as the films are distancing them selfs more and more from MLP (Likely so it can be its own series and have separate marketing for its merchandise) hell i dont expect princess twilight to show up at all this time
Nice little slice of life the three arguably most magically gifted ponies in Equestria. Not exactly my cup of tea, but it wasn't bad.
For a slice of life fic, it was really well done.
I'm beginning to think Twilight should invest in some signs.
7435117
That's definitely likely, but as this was written before the film's release, I guess we'll find out soon enough.
7435024
Yep! And yeah, I will admit that I'm a fan of both Sunset and Starlight. They're fun characters to work with.
7435365
That's understandable, as slice of life isn't exactly the most popular genre out there. Still, I'm glad you enjoyed parts of it, and thank you so much for checking out the story and for the comment!
7435595
Yeah, Twilight could probably use some of those. Chances are that Starlight will be far from the last pony to get lost in the castle.
i was waiting for a fic like this.thank you kind sir have a like :D
7436030 You're welcome! And thank you for taking a look at the story!
7435838 Though it probably makes a fantastic place to play hide and seek
7435838 i like them its just. Is this a shipping story between the two ? I also forgot to follow the story but that's fixed now. Im really interested in this story.
7436968 There will be romantic elements between Sunset and Starlight in the future, though I can't reveal when those will come into play just yet. The first chapters are basically them getting to know each other better as well as a few things that will contribute to character development, though some hints regarding the romantic parts will be slipped into the prose where appropriate. Anyway, I'm glad you find the story interesting so far.
Haven't read it yet, I'm going to soon, but I can't get over your first chapter title. It makes me think of Michael Jackson
I'm buddies with the mare in the mirror
She's talking how's she's changed her ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, you're past is not todaaaaayyyyyy~
(It started with "I'm readin' bout the mare in the mirror" in my head, but I figured I'd try a teensy bit more than that one liner)
What happen to the 2nd chapter?
7498910 The second chapter went up when it wasn't ready. As such, I felt that taking it down for the time being was the best option. While I don't know when the second chapter will be ready, as there are a ton of things that need fixing, it should be much better than the initial version that hadn't been thoroughly edited enough. Basically, I may have jumped a little too far ahead when writing the chapter, leaving not enough room for things to play out. Oops.
I apologize for the inconvenience. And thank you for expressing some interest in the story. I hope to return to it in the near future.
7498927
Please do.

this was really good!
