Pleasant story.
That was a pretty good read. It might just be my messed up taste, but I always love reading stories that base themselves around Sunset falling into a rut of sadness due to her blaming herself for everything (Or anything else really) that has happened since the first EqG movie. I especially love it where it seems that she's at her breaking point and then whoever's comforting her embraces her within a big hug and then gives her this huge talk about how strong she is. This story does all of that, and it sits well with me.
It's like a series of very strong emotions both positive and mainly negative. To me, it feels pretty realistic in its own sense as there are many people in this world that bring themself down. Although, there isn't exactly many that are as willing to help as Twilight.
All in all, I did enjoy this story. It's emotional and it has a good moral of how friends are always there for someone in need of help. You and TNYB did a really good job with this.
This was alright.
Maybe a bit less emotionally moving that I would have suspected, but then again maybe I've become a bit more cynical.
Still, Sunset, if you get this melancholy again... remember that you came to this world via a pre-existing magical mirror.
Maybe dry some of your tears with the fires of ire at whoever built it in the first place.

Thank you so much!
I have to admit I had to draw on some of my own personal experiences when trying to write the more emotional scenes, but I'm glad I was able to not end up going to ooc in the end.
I'm glad you enjoyed this!
I have to admit, as morbid as it sounds, I really enjoy those Sunset fics too.☺
I can't imagine that Sunset doesn't have regrets that haunt her in the night. She's older than the other girls, and a bit more mature in some ways. This can lead to self-doubt and to the questioning of her own motives.
Maybe the writers will get around to having Sunset express some of her regret and guilt in a future episode. Things can develop slowly with these writers -- for example, we didn't get to Princess Luna and the Tantabus until S5E13!
I'm exploring some of these ideas myself for a sequel to my own story. Thanks for a good read!

I really hope that the writers of the show do play around with this idea a bit more as I think it's something that could be incredibly interesting if done right, which I hope I've managed to achieve here
I look forward to seeing your work once you're done, though! I'm glad you enjoyed my take.☺
I've been on both sides of this conversation more than once. Forgiving ourselves for past sins, especially when those sins continue to have consequences, can be one of the hardest things to do. More than that, it has to become habitual, because forgiveness of that sort is seldom 'one-and-done.'
One of the most important things to remember is that the mere fact that you're upset at the thought that you might still be the same person you once were is proof that you aren't. The mere fact that you want to be better in itself demonstrates that you've already begun to be better. Wounds don't heal in a day; they can take years. Addictions are not overcome in a moment; they, too, take time. But healing is possible, and even the simple act of considering the morality of our past actions honestly is a huge victory. To move on from consideration to a desire for reformation is greater still. Be assured of this, and keep moving forward.
You are capable of being better. The fact that you desire it is proof that you are better. You are worthy of forgiveness and healing. Keep moving forward.
I'm not crying. It just a speck of... Oh, who am I kidding? Great story my friend.
This was pretty solid, and looking at Sunset's regrets well after the Fall Formal is an underexplored concept in my experience. Glad to see it like this.
However, you have a very strange love affair with semicolons. They should be used sparingly. I should not Ctrl+F and find 35 semicolons in a 3.5k word story. There were also a scattering of other grammatical mistakes.

You’re honestly not the first person thas pointed that out to me so I can only laugh
I wasn’t even taught to use them “sparingly” only how to use them, so I just saw my use of semi colons as a stylistic choice if I’m being honest, but if there is a genuine problem I’ll do my best to cut down!
Thanks for letting me know about the grammatical mistakes, too! I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again😊

If you take a quick look to Google, the result that comes up is:
In academic writing, this is a situation that can come up every now and then. However, in fiction writing, this isn't a case that comes up terribly often. A period or a coordinating conjunction works just fine. So because the situation rarely comes up, seeing so many of them is a bit jarring and kinda breaks the flow of the writing.
Very nice. Bittersweet, but well done.

Thank you! That means a lot☺️
Despite thei being a bit emotional I enjoyed it

No problem!! Glad you liked it💕☺️
Words aren’t enough to describe how much I love this story.
And these are EXACTLY the kind of struggles I want to explore in a Sunset-centric fic I’m currently plotting, of the happenings directly after the Fall Formal.
Just. This is incredible. Amazingly written, and so emotional it’s overwhelming. In the best way. Sunset deserves this comfort.
