Equestrian magic has undergone yet another change. This is nothing new. Sunset Shimmer and her friends had always taken this kind of challenge in stride. Now, however, things are different. And Sunset Shimmer vows to find out why the strongest friend she'd ever made has missed an entire week of school.
This is a foolish, terrible decision that sets in motion everything Sunset is woefully unprepared for.
And we're BACK in the game!
Rated "Teen" for suggestive themes, inconsolable teenage hormones, and heavily implied sex.
Enjoy!
Chapters (2)
Lol, Sunset loves musclegirls.
Ok, sweet LORD you have my undivided attention here.
Damn those abs tho
That’s a lotta muscle from spending most of your day on farmwork.
Makes sense.
Sunset is a better person, but her ambition and drive for success would still remain.
Her tact for manipulation also has remained as well.
I can't wait for the next part.
See's the cover photo. Jesus christ!
I’ll hand it to you. This was not what I expected, after looking at the cover image. Nice work on subverting my expectations. I look forward to the conclusion!
This was deep, painful, and hugely impressive. Well done.
This had a good mixture of emotion, caring, and sensuality.
Well done.
Are you ever gonna write a sequel? I want to know how the other Rainbooms will be affected by the growing magic.
Holy shit that was a ride.
...Well, that was a ride. Heartbreaking, so sensual and so sweet.
Well done sir, well done.
Wow... Sunset & Amazon AJ were so incredibly done here with how much emotional they got with their argument
That was an phenomenal way to end the story & to kick off Sunset & AJ's relationship!
P.S. Can you tell me who the artist is, who made the cover art please?
Holy cow, loving it and I can see potential for so much more!

Right?

I know. Isn't magic just wonderful?

Oddly, I hadn't planned on Sunset's 'Rarity jab' to highlight her manipulative side. A welcome accident, though.

Subversion is a powerful writing tool, I think. Though, I feel I've revealed that point a tad slowly here. Gotta crank out a few oneshots to get my flow back.

Your praise is very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. I sure as Hell did.

Funny, that. I have a sequel outlined, but the manuscript is currently in limbo. Figured I should write a few oneshots until I'm ready for that. Getting back in the groove can be... challenging.

Thank you, tons. I'm not sure if the argument seemed force. I'm also unsure if I added too much filler to compensate. Also, I found the pic on pintrest (the full pic is just wonderful).

Thanks. Sequel's in the oven. Just gonna write some oneshots to scrape off the rust.
Craine...

Okay, what did you type to find the photo?
Congratulations, this is the first Applejack pairing that I can truly get behind. Applejack and Rainbow Dash are 2 of the more difficult characters to work with when creating a shipfic in my opinion and this one was done masterfully.

Actually Appledash is something I see like this story's sunset in a way. RD being all brave bravado finally trusting AJ enough to open up. Cause RD can be written a few ways but my favorite for biased reasons in the Loyal to a fault character who would never betray her friends but is secretly terrified her friends aren't as loyal as she is. There was a line from Stardust that I really liked.

Thx buddy, I found the link! Click here for the full pic!
I'm not normally one for breaking up canon couples (and let's face it, human Rarijack is a canon couple,) but this is still a fantastic piece. The unique circumstances of the evolving magic, the gripping back-and-forth, the oscillating power dynamics...
In all, an excellent read. Thank you for it. Though I do fear what's become of the other girls based on Sunset's summarized assessment. (I fully expect Pinkie to have already sent Rarity an apology text, cupcake basket, and invitation to the Sorry Applejack Broke up With You, but at Least She's Not Fleeing in Shame party.)
I must’ve missed it, what caused AJ to change?
I'm back again I've read this a couple of times since I last posted but holy hell if it still ain't a kick in the gut.
Just read this story...... Again....... And I still wish there was more to it.

And here I am again......
This story was a blast to read from start to finish, doing a lot of things fantastically.
But where it grinds my gears is how it leaves an amazing plot line hanging for a sequel... and never follows through on it.
Here comes Sunset, sent by her friend Rarity to find out what's going on with her girlfriend Applejack. By the story's midpoint Sunset accuses Applejack of being a bad friend, of breaking up the group of friends, of being a bad girlfriend to Rarity, of not deserving Rarity as a girlfriend... and by the end of the story all of those accusations turn out to be true, thanks in large part to Sunset.
AJ and Sunset's post-nut clarity will be the stuff of legend. They fuck up,literally and figuratively speaking. They betrayed and back stabbed Rarity, one as a friend and the other as a girlfriend. I can't imagine the Rainbooms' friendship surviving this, honestly.
You can has review!
