I'd love to sleep with Sunset Shimmer
Had you not pointed out the fact that Mama here was inspired by someone who you knew in real life, I would have pegged her as a nod/reference to Lala from Persona 5. Gave me that vibe of the kind bar owner who'd more than willing to let a loving couple be just that.
And I do really love the ending there, where in many ways Twilight is getting hit directly on the head that Sunset is completely and totally over the moon for her and no one else. I think Twi's always known, intellectually of course, but it's never been something that she's allowed herself to properly believe on some level. Like some small part of Twilight was waiting for the other shoe to drop. The fact that it's been pointed out to her so clearly now removes that. Sunset loves Twilight, and would move heaven, hell, earth and equestria if it meant seeing her Sparky happy.
It feels satisfying that Twilight gets a win in regards to Sunset's guardian's identity, though it makes me wonder whether Sunset is either accidentally slipping or is just comfortable enough to drop breadcrumbs, knowing her secrets require a huge chunk of next-to-normally-unobtainable knowledge to figure out.
Suncubus strikes again.
Finding a place where you don't have to hide is a hell of a moment...but It is damn hard to stop worrying about everyone around you and just...be.

Thats a good chapter. Most people really liked that one. I know we did in the writer's room. :} So much love for our grumpy little unicorn.
This is a wonderful chapter. Good job to everyone that was involved in the writing/editing
So Twi knows Sunny's stand in mom is a Princess and that's nice and all. But after all the other reveal's about Sunset are out there I can't wait for Twi to realize that in Equestria a Princess is way more powerful than a Queen here. Like, Sunset's mom rules the whole damn country and if she decided one day not to raise the sun ever again everyone might just die. So yeah. A bit more powerful than the leaders here, lol.
This chapter was everything I wanted from it. It had its heavy moments, but quick with positive resolution that all builds into the adorable pairing that is Sunny and Twi.
Also, SUNSET, YOU'VE UP AND OJTED THE PRINCESS, YOU FOAL.
But honestly, I'm even happy about that. I know it'll likely be a huge thing when Sunset finally outs that part of her life /but/, huge but, for a girl as guarded and protective of herself as Sunset her being comfortable enough to let her guard down that much and let that slip.
Yeah Twi congrats, your the protag pair of a perfect Disney princess love story. And you may think you've found the princess in Sunset, but my fucking guy, Sunset knows she's not the princess of your pairing, not with how she sees you.

Well, we know that before Celestia unicorns worked together to raise and lower the sun so that's not necessarily the case.
This is almost always the best way to roll with Sunset. But I also absolutely adore Sunset doing pony things as a human. Especially when it’s a result of her being comfortable enough to relax and indulge because she’s with people she trusts and loves.
The way she’s always depicted as having huge knockers may be due to several inconsistencies in her model between both seasons and DHX/Boulder Media. I seem to recall Rainbow growing tits for Spring Breakdown. But it’s probably just more “I liek Sunbutt and I like boobs so sunset has teh boobies, hehehe”.
11804029
I said might.
11804303
Fair enough.
Heh. I suppose for me the closest comparison would be the first time I attended a Con and got to see other nerdy, geeky people like me. That moment you let your guard down finally and can just be YOU and everyone gladly accepts or just shrugs because, yeah, you're in the right crowd. Liberating.
Ah, the moment you realize you are not just in LUST of someone but in LOVE. When you can look at them and all you see is them. The moment you realize all those romantic poems and stories were absolutely on the money. Your heart pounding so hard in your own ears because, holy shit, you want this person and they WANT YOU. Yes, Twilight, you have much to think about and consider. especially since Sunset dropped a few new tidbits of privileged information, but you also need to consider when you are going to tell her those three little words that change everything.
Excellent chapter.
11803767
So would like 75% of the fandom apparently, lol.

Admitting something out loud is a lot more impactful than your subconscious saying it, in this case. You are right that there's been a form of subconscious knowing, but this is the first time that someone has directly said "Sunset's IN LOVE with you, Twilight." Its made her recontextualize her perceptions. Which is important.
11803829
Its not accidental. Sunset is...working up to telling her the truth, and that starts with admitting the little details.
11803848
Suncubus. I like that. I'mma steal that.
11803857
It is...so very hard. But worth it when you find the people you can be you with. Its so much of a relief.
11804012
So glad you liked it. We worked hard to get it just right.
11804016
Yes, there's a bit different connotations to it in the two cultures. Just like Sunset pointed out a number of chapters ago that there's a different set of meanings to "god/goddess" in Equestria than with humans.
Illidan voice: Twilight is not prepared.
11804020
Fluff abounds in the date chapters. :} And yes, she let slip the princess bit...but it was on purpose. In many ways, subconsciously, Sunset has made her choice. She just needs to realize it for herself.
Cadence put it best: When no one is looking, Sunset looks at Twilight like she hung the stars.
But what can you expect for someone who has been made to believe love and positive affection comes with a price? That if you don't meet expectations, you wont be loved, that it'll be withheld? Twilight was the first person in Sunset's entire existence who gave her unconditional love and acceptance, even if Sunset didn't have the words for what she was getting, even if it was just platonic love in the beginning. That matters. it matters so damned much...because Sunset has acknowledged freely that everything driving her during her bad days was the desire to be wanted. To be loved. To matter to someone.
Twilight gave it freely, and then introduced Sunset to the rest of the family, who also gave it....and Sunset has bloomed like a plant finally receiving water that it desperately needed. And that's allowed Sunset to give it back. To find within herself the capacity to not just feel, but make herself vulnerable enough for someone else to make that connection.
11804029
True, but the question is, do they still have the knowledge and ability to do so? In Rubicon, events where unicorns handled sun and moon were over 6000 years prior, before the era where Discord had control of everything. It is likely that the knowledge has not survived in the interim, since Celestia's bond with the Sun is....special.

Sunset is funny pony. I love making sure her body language and behaviors includes pony things. The "Sunset is not human" is so core to writing her here, that I don't even think about it.
As for the Boobs thing....Its not just the models. There are some subtle variations in the models...but actually where they get you is the animation. The characters have variation in animations. One of the most obvious examples is in Legend of Everfree, where you are treated to a fairly close up walk cycle animation of both Sunset and human Twilight facing the camera. You can actually see, in the like 10-20 second clip, that Sunset's walk animation is deliberately done to resemble a woman used to heels. She swings her hips in what I best describe as the "high heel strut" based on how the animation lines work with her hips, arms, and bustline. At the same time, right next to her, Twilight has that much slighter 'bobbing' of the hips you see with young women who havent fully grown into their adult forms. So yeah, its less the models, and more that the animators had to find ways to make "nearly identical base models" into unique characters, and they used some subtle tricks to do it. (There's also a rather funny "novelization" meant for young readers of the Dance Magic thing, and in it, they are trying to disguise themselves in Twilight's old CPA uniforms, only for the entire chapter's joke to be that Sunset is about to bust out of the top because its too snug in the boobs...right down to her laughing and sending a button flying off at the end of the chapter.)
The "Sunset is an impossible hottie" thing though? Totally fans at work though. So much so, that I've made it one of the long running gags with some of the things about Sunset that have yet to be realized.
11804739
Finding your people is like coming home for the very first time, ain't it?
And yeah, Twilight's having that moment here. Just "...oh holy hell, Sunset loves me. Is in Love with me. Oh. Oooooooooooh....this makes everything different."

Honestly, how we do "recaps" of earlier events depends heavily on circumstance. For example, if it happened four or six chapters back, and its already been addressed twice, its one of those things that becomes "don't beat the dead horse"...Rehashing the same conversation from thirty angles doesnt necessarily translate to character growth, and every chapter is done with "what is the purpose of the chapter/scene" as the primary focus of why it exists. In the case of the chapter in question, we'd already heard it from Twilight's point of view when she told Sunset about what happened, and they talked it out. We also got some of Twilight's perspective on the same incident right after it occured when flash helped her. Going over Twilight repeating it a third time to Cady wouldn't have added anything to the story except word count. Focusing on Cadence's reply to the story mattered more, as did the entire rest of the conversation.
Some "recaps" serve a purpose. Some show us the other side of an event. Some show us the character's emotional reactions. Some are the trigger for character growth and development. But...its not really to refresh reader memory. There's context clues usually to narrow down the events, but if they really need the refresher, it might be better to reread at that point, because they are probably forgetting way more than just the one scene's general outline.
Well these have been a nice couple of Fluff chapters that you've posted here. Can't wait for more.
About the “Princess” slip.
I know it’s unlikely, because narratives almost require crescendos of plot resolution, but it would be so keen for Twilight to finally get told the story before the friendship games force the issue.
NGL. I kinda feel like that’s a little bit cheating. It forces the issue out without Sunset having to resolve her feelings first. It removes it from her control and thus removes the moment for her to show that to Twilight.
But stuff like this “slip” makes me hopefully that Sunny gets to choose to share magic with twilight.
Im going to be honest the moment mama orchid started talking the voice of eda started sounding in my brain
Just spend the past week binge reading the entire story up to this point and can i just say WOW. I was looking for a story that went based off the original lines of EQG with new plot points and written in a way thats intended for a mature audience. the cover caught my eye and i was surprised to find something that not only had exactly what i was looking for but also far exceeded my expectations. Your development of the characters and world building is incredible and something i’m now wishing we’d seen in the show. Your pacing is perfect and you’ve mapped out the story very well especially considering how fast you release chapters. Starting the story and seeing how long it was i wasn’t sure if it was something that would peak my interest that long but at this point i’m at the edge of my seat drooling over theories and things i’d like to see happen. I haven't been this invested in a piece of literature for years now. Keep up the amazing work!! can’t wait to keep reading
