It's not easy living far out in the west end of the city and working downtown, but Sunset manages. The drive to and from work with her girlfriend, though, can be an exercise in patience. Between her bad days that she has, the bad days Twilight has, and just life in general, being trapped in a car together for half an hour can put a strain on them both.
It's easy to lose sight of things and tunnel vision on the road ahead. Sometimes it helps to take a step back and see things from the other side of the aisle.

??? What happened?

I forgot to get rid of the formating for GDoc comments.
I've had a bit of a long day.
Cute! Just fyi you left some outline notes at the end.
So what type of Sunlight story is this? Just Sci-Sunlight I assume?
9102807
It's an AU, so it's a bit of both Twis.
9102822
Shouldn't there be a category for that in the Sunlight folder? Right?
9102833
I just see SFW and NSFW.
9102837
No i mean like AU's in the Sunlight group by Cyrosite. There aren't any at all.
9102858
Ah, I actually didn't know about that group. Thank you
9102862
You're welcome!
That was really good, though the arguments were realistic enough that it was also really stressful to read. I HATE talks like that.
Also your description of the city reminds me alot of where I used to live, in Ohio.
And yeah, silly things like always being the one to drive or something definitely can become a big deal in a relationship if you don't talk about it. Good point.
So yeah, really enjoyed this and felt very true to life.
This was pretty good. Good luck on the contest.
this story was really good and enjoyable
but it has one major huge flaw
scitwi did not hack and fry zeypher breezes computer
Good story. I really enjoyed it and I have been having a few of those rides myself so it hit close to home. Very realistic. I liked it. Also, good luck in the contest.
I want to both slap you silly for that Megan and Firefly reference, but then want to give a high five for Tirek having his original voice actor from G1 back.
9105226
You're half-correct - Victor Caroli was his G1 actor, Mark Acheson was his G4.
Okay, I like this a lot, but I have to ask - how is this Alternate Universe exactly? It really doesn't seem in any way removed from being a possible future for the EG universe?

It could be, yes, but I did not write it with that intent.
Fantastic work with portraying an established, adorable relationship with a few bumps in the road. It'll be a lot easier next year, once that degree gets headhunters salivating.
Thank you for this, and for making me feel extremely doubtful about my chances in this contest.
9107847
I've read it when it was released, but now I say it was a story I really liked, and hoping you'll be placed ;)
9166837
Thank you
I really felt Sunset's frustration. You captured it really, really well.
And I just loved the interactions between Twilight and Sunset. The ending was just heart warming.
Fantastic job.
This is SO GOOD.
When I open a story with a Romance tag, this is what I want to see! This is fucking perfection!
As if I didn't hate him already! Marvelous.
SunLight isn't usually my thing, but I love the concept of this, the dialogue was great, and there were some very sweet moments, so it's easy to see why the judges liked it. Congratulations on placing!
Wow I really liked this. It was quite amusing and also so romantic at the same time! <3
This was really cute!
Just wanted to say this is one of my top ten favourites. I think I have re-read it some ten times now. Thank you.
Great little snapshot of life.
