I get too many ideas. Mostly Femslash. Lots and lots of femslash.
Long journeys to destinations full of happy memories are not always as enjoyable as they should be. But Sunset and Rainbow have weathered the good and the bad on road trips and in life.

very enjoyable i liked it hell id like to see abit more of this universe out side of the contest
Nice little story
Very cute little story, I enjoyed it! Just one question... I couldn't quite figure out what this paragraph was implying though:
As a professional recording artist, she had the time available to carry a child, a career that allowed her respite on demand. A pinch of sadness lingered in that thought though, a clinic and a devastated partner to support after a result from the doctor that read with words like “hostile” and “unable to carry to term”playing through her minds eye.
I'm pretty sure it's referring to someone miscarrying, but I can't figure out if it's supposed to be Sunset or Rainbow, and why a doctor would use the term "hostile" in that scenario -- unless it's supposed to be saying that one or both of them is a really poor, hostile patient?
awesome story.
is there a link to the contest submissions?
New Shimmy story. I will save this for later.

Essentially, Rainbow tried, it didn't last long. Sometimes, sadly and without any reason why, a woman can have something that is termed a "hostile womb" which means it is possible to get pregnant but not actually carry a baby full term.

Hee. Sweet little slice-of-life bit! With all the British spellings I expected to see “motorway” and was surprised (and pleasantly amused) to see “Interstate” instead. I’m not familiar with “rural route”, though, unless it’s just a generic reference to “small highway in the countryside”. (I’m in California, which pretty much calls everything a “state route” if it’s got the state-highway shield sign, and I’m not familiar with British or European practice for anything smaller than a motorway.)

I try my best with words when I can. I feel it jarring when people use terms contrary to the culture or area they are setting the story, so I do a little research. I know of highways/freeways and I know of the Interstate and a little looking I found the term Rural Route, it seems to be a one used by the postal service. I liked it, made me think of those maybe slightly narrow roads that wind through the countryside, still paved but not busy.
I am glad you liked the story
In the UK we have Motorways, A-Roads, B-Roads and then anything else is a named road. (Used to work in Highways, so yah). Europe has all kinds of names, what with all their different languages!

Ah, right, I thought “rural route” sounded vaguely familiar—the different context threw me off. It’s the circuit followed by a postman making his rounds to deliver mail to a set of rural households, part of the USPS’s Rural Free Delivery service.
Heartwarming. Thank you for sharing.
Sunny D is such an underrepresented ship, and most of it is just fetish stuff, and the ones that aren’t don’t even focus on the relationship between the two.
So this was nice. Makes me think that that foretold Nightmare sequel will actually happen. It won’t.
Lovely story, Rainbow and Sunset are really sweet together.

I am dabbling in The Nightmare Returns, but nothing comes out right.

Thanks. Glad you like the story

Might make a prequel on how they got together. Might just write more Dash/Shimmer (aka Sunny D)

I love writing fluff. Glad you like it.
Aww...this was sweet. It's not that often that I see a shipping fic dealing with the couple years in the future when they got children of their own. And even if I'm not a huge shipper of this particular ship, the writing itself had me sold that, at least in this story, the two of them were in love and very happy with each other.
Though one thing I kept wondering, especially with the inclusion of Crackle the dog...is what happened to Tank? Tortoises live a long time, and Tank is just so devoted to Rainbow that it is hard to see her giving him away for any reason. It's not a deal breaker, but it was something that got me thinking. (though I might be biased given that I'm a tortoise owner in real life and am not too fond of dogs to be honest)

Tank lives with Rainbow's parents, he lived with them during her sporting career and they became very attached to him. Now that she is back in Canterlot she can go and visit more often. Sadly a Gecko doesn't live as long.
I love all kinds of animals and honestly wanted to include a dog for the traditional family make-up. But I had precedent for Tank, my friends parents have three tortoises that belonged to their three children (who are my friends) even though growing up has meant the three kids now live all different parts of the country.
Not bad. I think this would be a fun idea you could expand on.
That was a good story, as great as all you've made.
I've read it before (not really noticed it was an entry), but as the contest has ended, wanted to say that I hope, and would be glad if you'll be placed ;)
This slightly confuses me. Did Sunset use a sperm donor, or was it by magic with physical features coming from Rainbow? Other than that loved it!

Donors for both kids. You can request for traits when considering the process, hair and eye colour, ethnic background etc. In a world like theirs it should be available.
I can't believe you named the dog Crackle. XD That's great! And Mr. Teeth is best guard shark.
9272034
It just stuck in my head, the idea of a Corgi cross that was Crackle, making that funny pant-snuffle that dogs do and bounding about.
A whole two hours! Oh boy. Anyway, this was a sweet tale with a nice, mellow tone. I enjoyed it. Crackle the dog was also a neat touch.
Very neat and enjoyable!
Corgis! My favorite dog breed!!!
Good question.
Good for you Dash!
You'll get used to it.
What a good boy, taking care of the family pet.
