This story is a sequel to The Rejected
Coming back from the mental brink has felt like an eternity of a slog for Sunset Shimmer, even though the true passage of time has been just shy of eight months. Nonetheless, she has managed to make new friends, rebuild bridges, regain some assertiveness, and face down most of her proverbial demons. However, Sunset still has one final obstacle, the one she'd been dreading for ten years: Her.
This story is the final entry in Sunset's Recovery Arc.
Proofreading help by Nonchalant. Thank you!
Chapters (5)
Thank you.
i just have to ask be fore reading the last 2 parts of this do sunset and rarity get together or not (by last 2 parts i mean this fic and the one before)
Nice. If this is the finale however I can say it feels unfinished in a lot of ways. Still I look forward to your next project.
You spoiled us with releasing the entire story ^^
And I'm glad I've been following how it went, even if I wasn't here for the beginning.
Thanks again.

It's only 6,150 words. I'd have to be some kind of jerk not to release it all at once.
I'm glad you enjoyed the ride. It doesn't matter that you weren't here for the beginning. What matters is you made it to the end. I strongly encourage you to read SRA in chronological order if you haven't already. Full disclosure: I haven't, but to be fair I've been busy writing it.

Will that have an effect on how you rate the series as a whole? SRA was never about Sunset and Rarity hooking up. It's about one girl, Sunset, overcoming her internal demons. The ship-tease was a natural outgrowth of Rarity's character development.
TL;DR to your question: No. But! stay tuned. There will be side-stories.

that was WHY i had been reading it as there is so few sunset x rarity fics out there
So, I guess the Twilight in this 'verse is still the awful one from those other stories?

I have to admit, the last couple stories got me invested in the conclusion of the SunsetxRarity thing as well. For better or for worse
Also
Love a happy ending.
Though I feel a wee bit sorry for Twilight being given the run around instead Celestia at least trying to give her the "the contents of this letter were meant to be private, respect that" speech and send her away quietly with some modicum of respect.
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOD LUNA'S PET IS A POSSUM.
YES.
What's in the box Rarity came with?
I have a guess, or two... but what does Rarity means by seventeen?
I'm not surprised neither bothered about reading it faster than one of your stories with one chapter, but I feel (maybe because there wasn't enough background in the previous stories) that Cadence isn't complete here, even if you made her the best character in this story in my opinion, with the letter that was destined to her, etc.
Thanks.
D'aww, that was such a heartwarming ending. :) Simple and to the point too.
Oh... I feel like Im missing some things. This Twilight seems kinda bitchy though.

Ah, so Twilight went Super Saiyan again.
Poor Sunset. But at least she has a happy ending.

Oh, she's referring to the advice that Flash gave her earlier!
I hope she isn't really taking it that literally, the poor box of sweets won't survive being used as a blunt weapon 17 times in a row!
I'm thoroughly confused.
This might be the weakest bit of the series so far.
We need to see Rapidash Twilight again in the show.
Is Luna's pet Tiberius a reference to the MLP Time Loops?
All I'm gonna say is there's a reason celestia has the nickname trollestia

Tib is Luna's pet on the comics.

Oh, cool. I didn't know there was comics, I'll have to give them a look.
Why does everyone want Twilight out of the way?
So we're not gonna know all the bad things that Sunset did? What about Flash, why does he have such a bad conscience? And Rarity's arc? The stoty's good but it kind of feels unfinished.

Twi means well, but all she does is lecture. That's not what Sunset needs at this point in the story arc
I can assume that Twi here is also doing the Yamcha pose as she lay on the floor? 😅
And your correct sunset as the portal/mirror is now at the crystal empire.
Kinda thought it Twilight's castle but seems like in this story it didn't leave the crystal empire.
Yep, that was cadance alright and that other voice was shining armor.
I always wonder why her hair/mane always waves/moves a lot. Same with princess Luna but it's a shame we never knew when mlp fim still aired.
Since when did Luna have a pet? Probably only in this story I think.
Lol
Seems like twilight brought someone with her.
Had a feeling she was gonna mention that.
There's a plotwist I did not see coming!
It sure surprises me the the pony sunset was referring all along was really cadance and not celestia. I sure didn't see this one coming.
It's a common thing with those two if you ask me.
Not surprised there if you ask me.
Wow.
Wonder why she has that?
Brick weather? I'm not even gonna ask. 🙄
(SNOOOOORT) wow
