Harvest
Twilight Sparkle woke to the smell of pancakes. With a yawn and a stretch she rose from her bed and looked around the room from her loft; Spike's bed was empty, and so was Sunset's. “I guess they're already awake,” she said to herself. Then she caught what she'd said, giggled, and added “Obviously. Spike's making pancakes!”
She descended the stairs off the loft and out of the bedroom at a happy trot, and headed for the library's small kitchen where she found Spike hard at work. “Good morning, Spike,” she greeted, making a beeline for the teapot.
“Morning, Twilight,” he replied, gingerly turning the berry-laden flapjacks over on the griddle.
“I take it Sunset's in the lab?” she asked filling the teapot with sink water.
“Actually,” Spike said, “she left like right after she got up. Haven't seen her since.”
Twilight stopped where she was, teapot floating impatiently nearby, and frowned. “Did she say where she was going?”
“Nope!” Spike said, his eyes fixed on a pancake he'd just flipped into the air. It landed on his spatula with a smack, and sizzled when he placed it back on the griddle. “But you know how she is. Probably just picking up some more supplies for her experiments.”
“You're probably right,” Twilight said, her every expression still filled with concern. She set the teapot down on the stove, and sighed. “It's just that she's been acting strange around me recently. It's almost like she's avoiding me or something! Oh, I hope she isn't tired of living in Ponyville with us...”
“Nah, I doubt it,” Spike said, finally taking his eyes off the pancakes. “But if you're so worried, why not try talking to her about it or something?”
“I guess,” Twilight said glumly, her ears drooping. “If she even wants to talk to me...”
Sunset Shimmer was feeling a lot of things as she walked through Ponyville: Excited, because she was approaching the date of an important experiment she had planned. Hungry, because she'd foolishly left the library before getting breakfast. Annoyed, because four of Twilight's friends had been shadowing her for the past half-hour in an almost comically inept manner.
But mostly she felt nervous, because she was running out of things that would keep her away from the Golden Oak. She'd already bought everything she needed and several more that she didn't, talked to several ponies, and crisscrossed most of town taking in the morning's sights; all that was left was to work up the nerves to finally talk to Twilight.
It had been a couple months since Sunset had moved to Ponyville, and slightly longer since that day in Canterlot when Twilight had come back to her. And though the move had been reluctant, done only because Sunset sorely wanted Twilight in her life, she had come to appreciate the town. It was quaint, and she was no longer simply being polite when she said that. Getting so far away from the bustle of the city and the machinations of the so-called 'nobility' had done wonders for her health, her mood, and even her research, and she couldn’t deny that she could see herself spending most of the rest of her life there. The scenery was nice too, especially at this time of year. As a filly in Canterlot she had always looked down from the tall towers of the mountainside castle and imagined that the sprawling forests she saw were changing colors as a tribute to her; all the reds and gold and oranges made it her favorite season by far. And now, in Ponyville, she got the opportunity to watch the change up close and personal.
On another personal note, she'd finally caved to Twilight and Princess Celestia's wishes and started opening herself up to friendship. The five mares that had stolen Twilight away from her had been the first, of course. It had taken some time for she and they to get past their...differences...and start seeing eye-to-eye, but Sunset now counted them among her friends. True, she wasn't nearly as close to them as Twilight was, but she neither wanted nor expected that – it was hard to top a shared magical destiny as the basis of a friendship, after all. But she'd made up for it with several new friends of her own – Bulk Biceps, Vinyl Scratch and Octavia, even that insufferable Time Turner!
But none of them would ever be as special to her as Twilight was. She still kicked herself for not realizing it sooner, and even more for how poorly she'd treated Twilight early on, but at some point in the past couple years she'd become one of the most important parts of Sunset's life. Her love of knowledge, her dedication, her talent, her little quirks; just about everything about Twilight she found endearing, and it didn't hurt that she was cute too. If Sunset didn't know any better, she'd say she was smitten.
Since she did know better, Sunset was confident she'd left smitten behind a few months ago and was now galloping head-on towards love. The visions she sometimes saw in the magic mirror she was studying had made that clear enough. Particularly the more recent ones, which had been surprisingly detailed...
Sunset shook her head and cleared her thoughts, realizing that she'd been standing in the middle of the street for at least a couple minutes now. She smiled bashfully at the passersby who were giving her strange looks, then raced off and didn't stop until she was at one of the bridges that arched over the town's river.
She stared wistfully down at her reflection, and sighed. For all her social acumen, Sunset had no experience in asking a pony out. Sure, she herself had been asked out several times, and she'd summarily rejected all of them, but that was hardly the same thing. At best she knew the theory of it, but the very thought of actually putting it into practice made her more nervous than she'd ever been in her life. It had even reached the point where she found it hard to even be in the same building as Twilight, and she felt more and more guilty every time she avoided her.
“I just have to...get it over with,” she muttered under her breath, still looking down at herself in the water. “I've done way harder things.” But even as she spoke those words she knew how hollow they were; she'd faced more dangerous tasks, yes, but none of them involved taking a risk that would permanently damage her most important friendship if it failed.
The sound of a pony falling over snapped her out of her depression, her ears perking up and swiveling to her right. She turned her head just in time to see Pinkie Pie, who looked to have leaned too far forward and paid the price, get dragged back behind the cover of a tree by Rarity and Rainbow Dash.
Sunset's expression fell into a deadpan stare. “I know you're there, girls. You might as well just come out so we can get this over with.”
Rarity, Pinkie, and Dash immediately came out of hiding, though only the first of the three looked at all embarrassed. “Ahem. Yes,” she said. “Our sincerest apologies, darling, but you-”
“Fluttershy too,” Sunset added, still staring.
A squeak came from behind the tree, and Fluttershy meekly slid out a moment later. “...sorry...,” she said in a voice so soft that Sunset could barely make it out.
Rarity cleared her throat again. “As I was saying, we happened to see you looking so lost in thought, as it were, but simply didn't want to disturb you.”
“You've been following me since at least the quill store,” Sunset countered. “Also, where's Applejack?”
“Oh, she's way too busy with her apples,” Pinkie quickly and enthusiastically replied. She giggled and waved a hoof. “You know how it is.”
Sunset raised an eyebrow. “Sure.” She looked back at the others expectantly. “So, anypony wanna explain why you've been tailing me all morning?”
“Well, Sunset,” Rarity began to say, “I assure you there's a perfectly reasonable reason as to-”
“You've been acting weird all week and we wanted to know what's up,” Rainbow Dash finished. Rarity glared up at her, and she shrugged. “What? It's true!”
“Be that as it may,” Rarity said, “you could have used more tact. It's obvious that our dear Sunset here is suffering from some manner of emotional distress,” she continued, walking confidently over to Sunset's side. “One must be sensitive to such matters.”
Rainbow Dash just rolled her eyes.
“So,” Rarity said, putting her forehooves up on the side of the bridge, “tell us, Sunset Shimmer, what is it that's bothering you?”
Sunset stared at her for a moment, then sighed. “I'll probably regret this, but...” she said under her breath before raising her voice and adding “it's Twilight.”
Pinkie squealed in excitement and leaped into the air. “I KNEW IT!”
“Uhh, knew what, exactly?” Sunset asked, taking a wary step back as Pinkie darted in close to her face, pushing Rarity out of the way in the process.
“That you're crushing on Twilight, silly!” Pinkie answered with an unnecessary amount of glee.
“N-no I'm not,” Sunset said reflexively, inwardly cursing herself for it even as her cheeks turned red, her ears folded back, and her eyes started darting around. “I-I'm just, uhh...”
“Totally crushing on your best friend who you've always had a rocky relationship with so you're worried that things will be ruined forever if she doesn't like you back but you can't not ask her out either because it'll drive you crazy?” Pinkie finished, bugging and spinning her eyes where appropriate.
Sunset held her stare for a moment, then sagged. “So you all figured it out, huh?” she asked Pinkie and the others.
“Oh, darling,” Rarity said, moving past Pinkie to but a foreleg around Sunset's shoulders, “when you've read as many romance novels as I have – and believe me, I've read every one I could get my hooves on – it's hard not to see the signs.”
“Even I saw it,” Rainbow Dash added.
“It was pretty obvious,” Fluttershy admitted from the back of the group. “Oh, but we're very supportive of it.”
“You... are?” Sunset asked, looking between the four mares.
“Why of course we are!” Rarity said, tightening her hold on Sunset. “Why wouldn't we be supportive of a friend wanting to find love with another friend?”
“Yeah, even if the first friend is kind of a jerk!” Rainbow added. Rarity promptly gave her a Look, causing Rainbow to shrug. “What?”
Rarity sniffed and looked back at Sunset. “That aside, we are happy to help you with this.”
Sunset sighed and looked back down at her reflection in the river. “Thanks, but I don't think I really need help. I just need to do it and get it over with.”
“Well, if it helps,” Fluttershy offered with a hopeful smile, “I'm sure Twilight will say yes if you ask her out. Or at the very least she won't be mad at you.”
“Really?” Sunset asked, perking an eyebrow. “What makes you so sure?”
Fluttershy froze for a moment, then shrunk back and blushed. “Umm... just a hunch? Sorry...”
Sunset's face fell. “That's what I figured.”
“Nevertheless,” Rarity grabbed Sunset's attention once more, “we all share Fluttershy's confidence that things will work out. And before you ask-” she placed a hoof on Sunset's open mouth- “it isn't entirely baseless. After all, you are the pony that Twilight specifically wanted to live in Ponyville with her, are you not? And I dare say you know her better than anypony else, do you honestly think she'd go that far if she simply wished to remain friends with you? Hmm?”
“I...,” Sunset began, searching her reflection as she thought. “I think you're right,” she concluded, lifting her head as her smile grew and her confidence swelled. “I can't believe I didn't see it before! Thanks, girls,” she said, whipping back around to the other four. “I think that was just the push I needed.”
“Then go to her, Sunset Shimmer!” Rarity told her in one of her more melodramatic voices, thrusting a hoof in the general direction of the Golden Oak. “Run!”
Sunset nodded, then turned tailed and galloped off... only to stop after a few yards and turn a stern gaze back to them. “Don't follow me. I don't want anypony interrupting this, got it?”
“Got it!” Pinkie replied immediately, frozen in mid-step. Rarity, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash murmured in agreement, backing off from the chase they too were about to give.
“-and that's reason thirty-five why it could end up being a total disaster,” Twilight said definitively, unfurling her list even more.
Spike rolled his eyes and propped his head up in one hand.
“Reason thirty-six why bringing it up to Sunset could be a total disaster is-”
The front door of the Golden Oak suddenly slammed open by magic, startling Twilight and Spike at the central table.
“Twilight, we need to talk,” Sunset said with an intensity that made the other two nervous.
“Ohmygosh I'm so sorry,” Twilight said, forcing her list into Spike's claws and trotting forward with a worried expression. “Whatever I did that's made you pull away recently, just tell me so I can fix it!”
“Wha?” Sunset said, taken aback by the sorrow in her eyes. She shook her head quickly, though, and said “Oh, wow, no, Sparkle, I'm sorry I made you think you did something wrong when you really, really didn't.”
Twilight blinked, her worry rapidly replaced with confused relief. “I didn't?”
Sunset shook her head. “Of course not. Once again, this one's all me,” she admitted, her cheeks flushing. Then she sighed sadly, and hung her head. “I really have a lot to apologize for, don't I? I've treated you pretty badly over the years...”
“I've already forgiven you,” Twilight said, hugging her around the neck. She let out a pathetic giggle as she stepped back, legs still around Sunset as she added “And it's not like I've been perfect, either.”
Sunset laughed too. “Even so, I feel guilty. Like... I don't deserve you sometimes.”
“Oh, Sunset,” Twilight said, nuzzling her and making her blush, “of course you deserve to be around me! Is that what's been bothering you recently?” she asked, pulling back and looking at Sunset with just enough concern to make her blush even harder.
“W-well, yeah,” Sunset answered, averting her gaze. Then she took a breath and looked back at Twilight with an intensity that made her blush. “And... I've also been worried.”
“Worried?” Twilight asked as Sunset looked down. “About what?”
“About... how you'd react when I told you that I wanted to be more than best friends,” Sunset replied looking into her eyes as both their blushes grew. “That I wanted to be your..." She gulped. "Marefriend.”
“You do?” Twilight whispered, her eyes wide with disbelief.
Sunset nodded. “Will you go out with me, Twilight Sparkle?”
She was utterly unprepared for the strength of the hug Twilight hit her with. “Yes! Yes yes yes yes yes! Of course I will, Sunset!” she said, breaking the hug to dance around with Sunset hoof in hoof.
Sunset cracked a smile at her marefriend's exuberance. “Well... okay then!”
Twilight sniffed and wiped away a tear. “I can't believe I was worried for nothing! Of course you feel the same way I do!”
“Yeah, same here,” Sunset said with a light laugh, before Twilight surprised her with a kiss that turned her muzzle redder than her hair.
She broke it after only a few moments with a sharp and panicked gasp. “Oh no, I was so happy that I did things out of order! Spike!” she turned her head and called. “Fetch me Head-Over-Heels' Guide to Romance and Dating, please!”
“On it!” Spike replied, snapping off a quick salute before he scurried off to the stairway.
“What did I just get myself into?” Sunset murmured dreamily, still reeling from the kiss.
Original Author's Note:
And there you have it! I hope you all enjoyed the story.
I expect it's still a little unpolished in some places; keeping it close to 10k words was unexpectedly limiting for me and I wasn't able to get as much feedback as I would have liked as the two people I went to for it were understandably occupied with other things. Nevertheless, thank you very much to Applety and my friend Light of the Dawn over at fanfiction.net for looking this over as much as they could.
I am somewhat amazed that I have never read a Sunlight fic that sets up the pairing like this.
It just seems kind of obvious to me! But perhaps I simply haven't been looking in the right groups or something? I don't know. The closest I've seen is Novel-Idea's Wavelengths Timeline, but that's pretty significantly different with its point-of-divergence from canon.
Well, let me know what you think.

Another contest already? Why so many?
8400021
People are free to hold whatever contests they want whenever they want, and I don't really see the problem with that. It encourages people to create, and I for one enjoyed writing my story - and reading several of the other entries.
I don't really understand what you mean.
Tis a nice fic about my OTP.
That was so sweet.
8400813
Well I hope you've found the time to read the rest of the story, and that it's lived up to your expectations.
8403132
Thanks for the compliments, I'm glad that both of you liked it.
8405805
Can you do a sequel wher eSunset finally confronted Celestia over what she did to her and how she hurt her?
Make her realize what a failure of a teacher she is.
8408263
As cathartic as something like that may have been...I don't think Twilight is really the type to say something like that, especially at the age she was in the beginning.
8419740
...no? Like, if you're referring to how things went down in canon (or at least the comics), then it should be obvious that things did not go down remotely the same in this story. And even if they had, I don't agree that what Celestia did was some horrible thing, or that she was a failure as a teacher for it. And if you're referring to the events of this story...the only thing I can think of that Celestia did wrong was not reminding Twilight that Sunset exists? But the blame for that whole drama should always lie squarely on Twilight's shoulders, and again I don't think it makes her some horrible person or whatever. But I get the feeling that's not what you were referring to.
8419791
Refering to how Celestia made Sunset feel she was nothing in the end, how Twilight was seemly her prefect choice and all the work she did all the effort, she put inher dreams was for naught.
It's only the fact she loved Twilight did Sunset not go mad.
8419943
??? Like, I get what you're trying to say now and if I do write a sequel series I do intend on exploring Sunset's feelings of inadequacy and loneliness and such and her relationship with Celestia, but I can't help but feel like you've misinterpreted things? Like, I don't know, you seem to be acting like Celestia was malicious or something rather than just being too busy dealing with, y'know, having a sister suddenly back in her life after a thousand years to have a perfect read on Sunset's mental health for a month. Like, yeah, she's not perfect, but I'd hardly call her a failure.
And I really don't know where you got the idea that Sunset would have gone mad had it not been for her love for Twilight. At no point in the story was that the only thing that kept her going, or anything like that. At most she was on track to becoming a more bitter and reclusive version of her pre-Twilight self.
8419997
See things different but ok.
Well maybe she not a failure but she did hurt Sunset, and would make for some clorsure, also what she did sounds like the same thing she did to luna in a way.
Ingoring her sister and her problems till too late, while not on purpose she hurt Sunset badly, and it needs to eb address for closure and so she may not repeat that mistake.
Ok Sunset may not gone mad, but she was MAD, and hurt, could seen her leave like she did before thru the mirror or head to the badlands or elsewhere.
If was only thanks to her love for Twilight that kept her from doing so I bet some small hope she came back.
8419997
I think you should rewrite this, but make it much much longer.
8420160
Hrmm...well, I can at least agree that if I do follow-up on this series there will be something like closure regarding Celestia, though it might be in the form of a flashback since I think at least part of it would have happened between chapters 4 and 5. And while yes, Sunset could have believably left had Twilight not come back, it wasn't love or hope or whatever that kept her in Canterlot. At least, not in my vision. As far as I'm concerned, Sunset stuck around out of a mix of stubbornness and not knowing where she'd even want to go.
8420985
While I can certainly understand the appeal of seeing this story expanded...a full rewrite isn't something I can see myself doing. Especially since I have another fic-universe that wants my attention. More likely, the parts of the story that take place between these five chapters will get told as either separate side stories or flashback-type chapters during a sequel series.
I quite enjoyed this! Even if it doesn't give us a lot of detail, I like "snapshot" style fics like this. It also helps that it's SunLight with pony Twi. :v
I featured this on episode 196 of my podcast, Pony 411.
8421414
And I'll definitely check out the podcast when I get the chance.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
This was a very enjoyable and heartwarming read. I would love to see this timeline revisited, both in the spots between the time jumps here and continuing on from what happens next after the end.
Lugu oli suurepärane! Ma armastan tegelaste arengut ja seda, kuidas te stseenide vahel liikusite! Teie kirjeldus tegi mulle hea meelega ja ma loodan, et sa teed hästi! Veenduge, et sa ei pane kastme pesu!
8425370
I do definitely think I'll be revisiting this timeline with a sequel series that will likely include flashback-sort-of chapters detailing some things that happened between the time jumps, as you put it. Though it'll be some time before I can get to it, as I have a not-inconsiderable amount of prep work to do first.
Thanks!
8433269
Even if you did leave your comment in Estonian. But it does appear that you liked the story, if google translate is anything to go by. Though the last line seems to be an idiom, since the literal translation doesn't make sense to me like the rest of it does.
Also thank you!
Yes so much interest yes! Not only is sunlight one of my favorite ships but I love AUs that diverge at the start of it all like this. Please continue this universe. I very much enjoy the history between them you created and can say; Like you even with all my digging I haven't found much if any that sets their meeting in this way.
8444530
Sorry for such a late reply, but I am genuinely happy to hear such enthusiastic interest. If you don't already know, you'll no doubt be happy to hear that I'll be both expanding this fic as well as continuing the timeline as a whole. The new content for this fic specifically should hopefully be out by the end of the month, so keep and eye out for it!

Well, you seem to have been a bit prolific, even if a lot of your remarks are complaining about canon and the snags that necessarily come from multiple writers building a world on the go. But, well, I'll attempt to answer some of your remarks here anyway.
First, I only had Spike move four books for his 'epic prank' because Spike is not a good prankster. One of the points of that scene was that Spike is not as good at pranking Twilight as he thinks he is. Thus he thought moving only four books was perfectly sufficient to get one over on her.
Second, while Celestia certainly would like the gift of her sister's return, Hearth's Warming is hardly the proper season for it.
And as for the Elements of Harmony stuff... Part of it I think is that the vast majority of ponies, even in the archaeological community, don't think of Nightmare Moon as anything other than a mythological figure associated with a holiday. In their view, while the Elements of Harmony were (presumably) real, the notion of an evil alicorn princess having actually been sealed away in the moon by them is absurd. At best the story was exaggerated; at worst it was fabricated whole cloth. And why fear the prophecy of her return if she never existed in the first place? And that's even if they know about the prophecy to begin with, as "Predictions and Prophecies" doesn't seem like standard reading material for an archaeologist.
Of course, who's to say nopony hasn't connected the dots before Twilight? What would they even be able to do about it? There's no guarantee their peers would believe them, and Celestia would just tell them not to worry about it. Because the last thing Celestia wants, I think, is ponies to panic because of Nightmare Moon's future return. There's really no reason the Elements-Nightmare Moon connection has to reach Twilight's head before Celestia wants it to. Same with Sunset, to be honest.

Honestly, I'm super happy with how their progression as friends turned out here. The banter, the antics, the contrast... it really fleshes out their developing friendship, something that was missing in the original version. And like you said, it ended up allowing me to set up a few things I may or may not revisit in the future... 
8520711

I know I'm late replying to these, but I'm so glad you liked the added chapters!
I think someone knows something and isn't sharing
I find it obvious too but I'm just not good at writing or sharing ideas
You have no idea

I don't mean to offend you. It's just that I found it unusual you entered a contest right after you finished the previous one.
8725345
Ah, who am I kidding, you're right.
Very cute and fun!
A wonderful slow burn, slice-of-lifey Sunlight montage. Twilight managing to miss the gossip rags with her brother and foalsitter on the cover was a brilliant touch. Thank you for this.
So, when's the sequel when they bravely explore the world of technicolor apes together?
ETA: Oh, wait, there actually is a sequel.
Oh, Twilight, you never cease to amuse me with your dorkiness!
I frickin love this ship so much!
WLMFNOIRWAG OHMYGOSH, THIS STORY IS THE BEST THING EVER AND THIS CHAPTER JUST OMGGG ,D'AWWWWWWWW.
I LIKE, was gushing so much at the end with the confession and was just filled with so much joy ohmygosh. I honestly can't explain how much I loved your execution of this entire story so far! The lead up to this is perfect and I can't explain how well done it is! BUT LIKE JUST SUMMING UP HOW MUCH I LOVE ALL OF THIS SO FAR IN THIS ONE CHAPTER. I honestly was jittering with glee and joy with the fuzziness. GREAT WORK ON THISSSS!
Edit : Ahhhh, after my excitement I did not realize that this was the last chapter omggg, I'm in love with this and your stories with these twooo. It's all so natural and so goood
This is some excellent friendshipping. But as much as I wanted at least a chapter of them being enemies, I want even more for you to have put as much effort into showing their friendship blossoming into something more as you did their rivalry turning to friendship. c.c The ending's a bit of a letdown, in other words.
Not bad. Nice bit of Sunlight friendshipping. Definitely reading the sequel now.
I honestly believe that almost any ship can be justified with good reasoning, in this case, it was a good writer.
Good story, but it still sucks that Sunset got screwed over in the end anyway. She still gets passed over for Twilight.
9143987
And I would love to know how everything changed with Twilight having to see what happened to Sunset and coming to terms with it.
Come to terms with what she did to Sunset.
Well this was fun, defiantly a worthwhile read and it's fair share of interesting and fun ideas~
However, and this might just be me but it feels like Sunset's character is eroded, not grown over the story. It could in part be because a lot of it just happens for less then apparent reasons off screen and it could be my preference for more ambitious, rebellious characterisations of her but she feels flatter by the end then she did at the start. Her early competitive and head strong attitude early on was fantastic and thrilling for example but again, feels like she's lost that becoming mellow and boring. Sunset forgiving Cadence for things she couldn't help and apologising to her seemingly out of no where was a big example of this as it's a big step, especially considering she's essentially accepting that someone is worthy of her life's goal while she still is not especially when Sunset feels she's worked so hard for it while Cadence stumbled upon it by accident.
Sorry if this feels overly negative, I really did enjoy it but I tend to have an easier time expressing my negative views then my positive ones.

Commander-Twi is an alternative portrayal of Twilight Sparkle, where instead of the Friendship loving Princess her canon counterpart is, she is a mixture of Twilight's natural thirst for knowledge, determination and dedication to her chosen cause, and Tempest Shadow's hardened, militaristic personality, and (mostly assumed given her portrayal in the movie)combat experience. Commander-Twi is usually portrayed as a war vet, or a high ranking officer in the Armed Forces.
Really good story ☺️

Well said.
