About a week after the Friendship Games, the human Twilight Sparkle is settling in at CHS and Sunset Shimmer is trying her best to help ease the process. A chance bit of online silliness sparks a conversation that goes places neither expects.
A stream-of-consciousness experiment with my favorite gangly ape nerds.
Rated Teen for suggestive dialogue and premarital hand-holding.
Lewd!
A lovely little story, thank you.
nice work
This line in particular is spectacular!
Why do I keep finding stories where Twilight finds out (to her dismay) that the internet thinks Midnight is sexy?
always love your work. One thing. When Twi questions the word "everypony" Sunset had actually said "nopony"
Break it up, this has all gotten too silly. (For those of you who happen to be uncultured swine, this is what the refrance*sic*)
At least it's not facebook (man, how do you even ponyfy that?)
1) Metal as crap indeed
B) breaking series while maintaining sequence is always fun
Would not have expected AJ to be the starting that betting pool.
And after actually reading...
Combine the concept of the Fall with the fact that she's from an alternate universe accessed through a mirror, and... basically everyone?
You totally rock, FOME!
Yup, 'twas adorable, adorkable, and heartwarming. Thanks for the evening warm fuzzies.
Double word there.
You do realize that group consists of every supporting, minor or background character that ever appeared and most that didn't, right? Hell of a group to administer.
You know, one day I may get tired of these two and their ridiculous levels of adorability. Today is not that day.
Also like Twi's response that, while she likes the idea, she's not really ready for such a thing at the moment. After all, it's reasonable to think that after an massive trauma, when one is in an intense state of emotional vulnerability, it might be a bad idea to jump straight to a relationship and that bad idea is only intensified the more recently one has met the other party.
*Ahem* *Ahem*
Thank you for this.
Adorable, great story!!
Very lovely little thing!
SciSet, adorkableness, and nerdy humor. Another home run. Thanks for making my day just that little bit better.
I never used to consider myself much of a shipper. I used to only go for shipfics if they had some other gimmick to them, like Fractured Sunlight or Lost Time. But here I am, reading short slice of life Sunlight oneshots.
I think eight years of being in this fandom has had an effect on me.
Speaking of which... Sunset, smashing that siphon like that was incredibly reckless, and by rights shouldn't have resulted in anything but a really excellent explosion. Which, considering the already stressed space-time in the area, could have ripped the entire school into Equestria in an uncontrolled fashion at best, and simply killed everyone at worst. You've got the luck of Harmony girl, and you need to stop relying on it before someone gets hurt.

How Discordant the situation was helped, ironically... that allowed the magical essences to keep their own identity instead of merging into an explosively powerful gestalt.
5,000 says they become a nudist couple.
"She kept the headphones on, because Lemon Zest."
Nice!

Who says Applejack "started" the bet? We just know she's participating.

Writing Sci-Twi's dialogue is always a delight. I don't get much of an audience for physics jokes most days.
Because our Internet did, and it's easy to imagine her being mortified by it?
10133739
Good catch. Fixed.
10133796
Muzzlebook, maybe? This is why I stick to the canon social media platform. (One of the few good things the Anon-a-Miss comic gave us.)
Quite true.
As 10134327 noted, that's not quite how it went. Rarity was speculating about these two, Applejack expressed skepticism, and Dash jumped on the chance to make a wager.

The Fall is more angels becoming demons than the other way around, and this side of the portal is a chunk of marble.
10133915
At least it's not as bad as the pony group. They're nationwide, and they don't even have social media to organize themselves. And that's before she takes the throne!
And yeah, I could not in good conscience have this go straight to sloppy makeouts. Twilight still has a lot of Midnight baggage to work through, though this version should find it easier than canon. Certainly less letting the fear fester during a camping trip to the point that her friends need to blow up a piece of her psyche.

A good shipfic can be a fascinating exploration of both the characters and their interactions with one another, even if those interactions are nonexistent in canon. Though it certainly helps.
But yeah, you may have been exposed to more than a few millisieverts of Cadenza radiation over the years.

A flair for the dramatic can be helpful in rituals, especially an expression of confidence when dealing with forces that could potentially subsume one's will. Extra-especially when the device you're using is effectively a warped, synthetic version of the one that turned you into a demon several months ago.
Mind you, it still probably wasn't a good idea to chuck the spectrocapacitor like a Pokéball, but Sunset did have some idea of what she was doing.

... Not sure how you came to that conclusion, and I'm not sure if I want to know.

Thanks, everyone! In times like this, we could all use something warm and fuzzy.
Oh, I forgot to mention one of my favorite science facts: you can go sexier than that. And the trope being named after a Star Trek costume designer can only help Sci-Twi know this...
10133701
Well...
It is as lewd as you can get in a G-rated show.
Is "Braytonic" the ponyverse equivalent of "Platonic?
Thanks for a cute and sweet read.
This was good. I really enjoyed it.
Me gusta.
What a nice bit of fluff
It's interesting to see the fandom embracing the Equestria Girls property. For so long we just didn't know how to cope with it.
I think Sunset is the heart of the Equestria Girls saga as much as Twilight is the heart of MLP:FIM
this was a very cute and fun read! I honestly wish there was more!
Cute and fun. Thank you for writing some adorable in the time of the plague.
I'm a simple man.
I see a SciTwi x Sunset fanfic, I give instant fav :3
That was cute. These two just work so well together.
Missing that ".
Bow ties are cool.
Nice bit of Sciset fluff.
This is the part where I thank you for it.Yay. Lots of sweet fun here. I liked the subtlety of
And then I couldn't help but giggle out loud at the nerdy flirting, most especially
Delightful as always - and indeed just what we all need at this kind of time. Thank you.
Very nice. I love the simple friendship and camaraderie shown here—and a little flirting was cute too.
Adorable
Sunset's gotten pretty used to having hands. I imagine having tentacles growing out of your hooves would be freaky. I wonder if there's a furry equivalent for ponies...
Filly is delighted
Props, loved it <3
And now I almost want to see the fic where Sunset ends up at Crystal Prep. Somehow I doubt she'd have such an easy time becoming top dog...
It is my duty to point out that Demon Sunset was friggen huge. People always miss that part
10133719
I've only found this one and "Wait...I was Sexy?"
Which others are there?
Truly adorkable, yet with just enough angst to ground it.
the title made me think of this:
FanOfMostEverything, this is really a very cute story! I didn't regret reading it! This will be included in a collection of my favorite fanfics.
Thank you for making me feel better.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!
They should make a shirt for that it would be a big seller
that would make a good shirt to ☢️
have to agree on that one
Took me a moment to figure out what this meant. This was a cute story.
Adorable. i love the idea of the other characters taking bets on whether theyre getting together on not, heheh. its also funny to imagine that Twilight, despite her nerdiness, or specificaly because of it, has a couple people crushing on her from crystal prep.
Cant compete with the shimmer though heh
