Canterlot High on a Saturday and Dusk Shine wearing his hooded jumper with the hood up was using his energy tracking device to examine the horse statue outside the school. There had been a lot of strange things going on and energy readings coming from his school’s rival and he had began investigating now with someone from school who was acting as his assistant now.
“Some boys take their girlfriends out to concerts, movies and eating outs but you take me out to investigate a school because you found a sky beam coming from the school as if like a climax of a science fiction or superhero movie.” His girlfriend Sugarcoat commented with her usual expression, Dusk and Sugarcoat had been going out for a month though they were not lovey dovey while in public or even on their own; despite their classmates always wanting details.
Dusk’s brother Shining Armor convinced Dusk to try this teen dating app and it had paired him with Sugarcoat on a blind date much to their surprise; Dusk was kind of a black sheep at the school due to others looking down on him for having the best scores but not really up for the physical activities or hanging out much. They got through their date alright and tried again and it led to them.
“Well it’s not really a date, remember you wanted to spend time with me today and I had this planned so we combine them both and it’s a win-win.” Dusk replied with an oblivious smile as Sugarcoat shook her head at his denseness. “Speaking of dates, can I ask if you have been talking about me and our dates to your friends?” Dusk asked as Sugarcoat shook her head.
“Don’t worry I have spoken nothing to them about how you are a bad kisser.” Sugarcoat replied as Dusk sank and sighed to himself, she never does sugarcoat anything in her speech despite her name. She was always brutally honest in how she spoke.
“You know we could have brought some paint and stuff to leave a nasty surprise for the Canterlot High people, it would help your popularity.” Sugarcoat told him and Dusk vehemently shook his head.
“No way; I am not risking my future with a vandalism mark on my record. Not to mention my brother who is a police officer and how he would react.” Dusk replied with a bit of a glare to her as she was silent. Dusk then found he had a new reading on his machine, “I will make sure you get credit for your help Sugarcheeks.” Dusk told her with a big smile that sank to her glare.
“You have been reading those awful romance help books again, haven’t you?” Sugarcoat asked with her arms crossed and Dusk was looking nervous. “I can’t say that I should be complaining, it makes you a dense dork and I find it cute.” Sugarcoat told him with a smile as Dusk was not too sure how to respond.
Dusk then remembered something and told her “I just remembered, Cadance got two tickets for a Sapphire Shores concert for the both of us, you know that one in two weeks. So do you want to go?” Dusk asked as Sugarcoat gave him a big smile.
Soon they were finishing up a Sugar then decided to surprise him with a kiss on the lips which he returned. Dusk gave a look to Sugarcoat’s smirk and asked “I thought you said I was a bad kisser.”
“You are, I am just helping you practice so you get better.” Sugarcoat replied the smirk never leaving her face.
If you do a Chrysalis chapter, could you please include Fluffle Puff in it?
Tempest Shadow
Rule 63 Flash Sentry... so... Bright Centerion? I'm not sure on that.
What about cross species? Gilda? Ember? Sirens? Queen Nova or Skystar?

I think the typical Rule 63 name for Gender flipped Flash Sentry is Flare Warden, but Bright Centurion could work too.
And, anyway, other blacklisted ones:
Gleaming Shield (rule 63 Shining Armor): She's Dusk's SISTER. This one should NOT need to be explained.
Any of the Cutie Mark Crusaders: Too young. Enough said.
Barb (rule 63 Spike): Blacklist reason is an equal combination of the reasons for Gleaming Shield AND the reason for Any of the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
Luster Dawn: Dusk would, at best, be a father figure to her. (so this would be a like a reverse reason for the reason for the Celestia backlist)
Well, all I can say is great job on this latest chapter. And, yeah, the reason Dusk and Sugarcoat ended up dating in this universe makes sense.
And, yeah, I can understand the reason behind the blacklists.
Anyway, here are a few more possibilities for future chapters:
Princess Cadance: If we are talking about a universe where Dusk and Shining Armor are age-switched (meaning Dusk is the older brother) and Cadance ended up with Dusk instead of Shining Armor (Shining, instead, ends up with your choice of one of the Mane Six).
Queen Chrysalis: If we are talking about a universe where Chrysalis got a MAJOR case of Adaptational Heroism (i.e. enough to genuinely care about her subjects and to reach out to Equestria through diplomacy). Dusk and this actually benevolent Chrysalis could meet during a diplomatic function and things develop from there.
As was aforementioned, Flare Warden (rule 63 Flash Sentry)
Princess Bluebelle (rule 63 Prince Blueblood; in a universe where he/she is NOT a total jerk)

Definitively agree on your ideas for the blacklist
Will we see the other shadowbolts with dusk?

Perhaps

Ok 👍
It was a surprise for Sugarcoat to have a chapter but still nice.
I'd like to see some redeemed-antagonist love-interest chapters. I think some fun ones would include some role play that their friends accidentally walk in on.
Ex: Tempest Shadow has Dusk as a 'prisoner', which she going to take advantage of. Just as it get to the steamy parts, Spike walks in to talk with Dusk about something. A bit of awkward silence passes by for a few minutes and Spike says he forgot something important, like to organize the library again.
