Rather than a foal Velvet could also go the way of the British clergy of the 1800s. A class of not overly devout, well educated, 2nd and 3rd sons who were instrumental to a bizarre amount of scientific discovery and artistic merit. This random fact brought to you by a pendantic jackass.

The black unicorn mare was taller than most, with a dark green mane and glasses sitting on her muzzle. Hidden Figures

No no no. That's not suspicious at all. I wonder if she has a twin sister named Crystal List.

First son for ruling, second for marrying the rest for the military. I think that's the medieval tradition.

Alright, good start. Though I got to say, this romance drama looks like its really going to get out of control in the future thanks to Cheerilee and Fluer.

It updated to include the clergy in the Victorian era. Usually 3rd sons, sometimes 2nd if the family business was the military.

Third part out now? WHEEEEEEEEE!!!

9198025
or 4'th depending on if you view the Twilight fic as part of the story or not.

9198137
Never even saw it. Lol. I'll read it tomorrow.

Making more racket in yet sleep

Yer.

sense of content dread as Cadance the room

Cadance left the.

May and will you gladly tell me about that Crystal List person, good sir?

“Lord Armor, your Princess needs you to come into her castle. There’s a raging fire only you can save her from!”

So cheezy, You could make quesadillas with it... Oh, now I see why Twilight's so scared of them.

“Well, after my son decided to play with that other mare we brought along, I thought it best that a pony of yourwife’s beauty be kept elsewhere,” Strong Withers told him before smirking at the irony. A member of a proud and connected unicorn family, now nothing more than a plaything for an earth pony’s amusement.

Jesus, I think Upper Crust was better off just going to jail. I am genuinely curious how her story is going to play out now.

Poor Fleur and Velvet... I hope things work out for them... There is a powerful dread about them both thanks to the peek at the future. Also, wow! Cheerily is crushing hard... Or is this another plot by Nightmare Moon? Even with the look at a POSSIBLE future, it is worrisome. I love what you've managed to do with it already! So glad to see this! And hee, Chyssi getting her breakfast early.

Interesting that the Sparkle's might have another foal in this alternate dimension, wonder why there isn't a law about choosing the gender of a foal. I wonder what 'reeducation' from the theastras unicorns and I shutter. from the Twilight story it sounds like it isn't a certainty that Shining Armor is with Candence or Sunset, wonder if Cadence jealousy had gotten the better of her at one point.

I so, so hope Hidden Figures is a red herring and that Chrissy has an actually decent disguise. It's just so absurdly obvious that'd be insane for her to do so.

Of course, it might be Taking Refuge in Audacity, but still

How's all that entitlement working out for you Upper Crust? Are Earth Ponies really bigger then Unicorns?
SO Velvet want to add to the family because they now have so much time and bits on their hooves they don't know what else to do with it, seem like a worthy venture, my only thing is this, assuming "Twilights Timetravling Adventure" is canon for this story time linethere was never a mention of another sparkle sibling and Velvet doesn't seem to be around at that point in time. However, if it's not fully canon, then my previous statement is void.
I kinda wanna see Flure get with somepony else, anyone else feels bad for her? Like her future is, look good, have foals, kiss plot. Is that really what anypony wants?
Hi not Chrysalis, how are you today, thank you for waiting to enter until round one was done, I'm sure you were just waiting doing nothing what so ever.
LordBrony, this story is my new crack, just saying. Don't leave us hangin man!

assuming "Twilights Timetravling Adventure" is canon for this story time line

Probably not I think TTA was there to set up an instance of Starlight, Twilight and Spike outside of the universe/time stream. They'll likely be a driving force to change things away from TTA, like the 2 different timelines in Back To The Future Pt I.
Although this part is probably the same across both timelines and well TTA said that Pregnant mares died from Tirek's attack.

sounds a lot like a certain bug doesn't it?

I've just finished reading sunset reset. Quit going so fast!!!

I think Sunset should be the High Princess.....

I love this series! It's so hard to read, cause I can hardly wait to finish each chapter because I just want to see what happens next! I mean that in the BEST of ways mind you. ( ; One of my hopes for this story is that Celestia finally drops the "stupid stick" she's had stuck up her plot since Sunset Reset and gets on board with things. :P You've done a MAGNIFICENT job of portraying an ageless Alicorn who's had millennia to get stuck in her thinking, but it's also frustrating as heck waiting for Cadence to finally get through to the old nag, you know? Speaking of which, looking forward to seeing Cadence continue to be just the best. XD

So is this series going to end with Sunset forming a harem out of all of her friends and their associates?

She knew it was silly, even stupid, but but she couldn’t help but feel nervous.

“Making more racket in yet sleep, little missy,” the cranky voice of Cheerilee’s father’s older sister called out from beyond the door. “Now get out here and eat yer grits.”

Shining Armor felt an odd sense of content dread as Cadance the room and Sunset rolled on top of the young stallion.

missing a word or two.
______________________

Yoish! This is what I'm talking about! This fic is carrying on the tradition of being all the win as the first two fics.

Now all we need is to see Luna get saved, Twilight's and Starlight's to meet, and see filly Twilight grow up. And Sunset get her happily ever after. Maybe stop by Earth when their timelines get back in sync (rather than 1 mo / EQG min.)

9198898
You need to read Sunset's Crowning Achievement ^_^. That's the fic before this, and really takes that momentum of the first fic and keeps the awesomesauce that is this series going.

9198012
I have faith is Cadance. Cadance in this series is just full of win!

I am not comfortable with the idea of parents using magic and or science to pick the gender of their child.

top ten percent of the top ten percent, which made them, the...one percent?

This doesn't make much sense as-is. If she were thinking in fractions, perhaps, (tenth/tenth/hundredth) but not as percentages.
"were their. " there.
"Cheerile’s" Cheerilee’s
"the two alicorn" alicorns
“Bout time," «“'Bout time, »
" were taking care of" taken
"A loud whiny" whinny

9197923
Pedantic.

Rereading this.

But yeah, I can't wait to see the canon (and in line with Sunset's Reset's ending) meet up of Twilight Sparkle. And seeing Twilight and Starlight Glimmer not only getting a talk to with Tia, Cadance, and Sunset. But more importantly, seeing Sunset set their timeline straight, and talk to Twilight about her being sent back through time.

9200721 Sadly it doesn't seem so, doubly since none of Shining's geek buddies have reappeared since the dance.

Blue Line grimace.

*grimaced

after my son decided to play with that other mare we brought along

Shit. Upper Crust was a cold hearted bitch, but she didn't deserve Buck Withers.

the magic circle that had appeared around Blue Line’s neck slammed into place as if it was a collar before fading from sight.

hmm. Setting him up for a Redemption Equals Death arc?

She would wake up to a large empty house, tell ponies to do everything for her, sit on her plot while bits flowed in from too many places to count, and only see her foals about once a week before they went off to do something important.

Don't charities exist in Equestria?

wait, why am I being hesitant, these are my private thoughts!

Are they, though?

“Mom, Dad, I’m heading out.”

…

…

…

“...bye,”

Awww.

We’re earth ponies, Cheerilee, we belong in the kitchens, and on the farms. We don’t belong rubbing noses with royalty.

My, she sounds like one Dursley of an individual.

It had taught him just why Cadance had been content to sit by and watch the other two members of their relationship go at it so many times before.

... how much does Sunny like watching them?

And don’t kiss on the lips right after waking up, morning breath ruins the mood.

Funny, I've never had that problem...

Lord Armor, your Princess needs you to come into her castle. There’s a raging fire only you can save her from!

Now that I think about it, there is something I want you to look into.

Well that sounds ominous.

I swear I want nothing more than to rescue Fleur from that.

10123211
Aside from Fleur's parents, Fancy had better pull his head from his ass, pronto.

You know, I just thought of a way you can bring Pinkie Pie into this story earlier than what canon would've allowed. How about her and her family's rock farm is part of the new real estate that Sunset or Cadence acquired during their coronation ceremonies? And they stimble across her while surveying their new lands. Heck, let's make it even more ironic in that its (one of?) the Main 6 who were accompanying the Princess(es?) on this tour who actually find and befriend her before Sunset even notices her!

10735134
Or how Pinkie Pie is a rock farmer, and how they'd naturally deliver gem stones of great quality to around Equestria. Would mean there's a greater than non-0 chance of Pinkie showing up when giving a shipment to Canterlot with her family.

Still yeah, there's tons of ways to bring in Pinkie Pie. Kind of sad really that she's left out of the story for the most part when it'd be adorable seeing her when she's in her perpetually depressed phase, and not knowing of friends. Suddenly make lots of them thanks to Sunset Shimmer.

10244293
Mhmm. It's actually sad. Fleur is the one that's friends with actual royalty, and yet Fancy acts as if he's above anything the Princesses do. Like not on purpose, but someone (Sunset Shimmer) really needs to beat the stupid out of him.
