While on a vacation across Europe during Winter Break with her parents, Twilight Sparkle bumps in a beautiful local. Now she can’t seem to get her out of her head.
In an AU in which Sunset ran off across seas after Anon-a-Miss with the Equestrian currency the Princess of Friendship had given her on her last visit and has adopted a british accent (because just imagine Sunset with a british accent) and in a world where Cinch never tried to blackmail Twilight and she never ended up at Canterlot High. They are both in their freshman year of college. Inspired by London Boy by Taylor Swift.

as yes.... French sunset.....

Technically English Sunset, but still equal parts hot and adorable.
10364077
Which English accent? There are several. I'm not sure whether to imagine Sunset as having a Home Counties or Cockney accent (or, if we're really obscure, a Hertfordshire burr).
10364077
yes...... YES! Y E S!
10364079
*talks in cockney accent* oi! This be me accent!
10364082
Or how about Yorkshire Sunset? That'd be hilarious.
10364084
hell yes.
10364079
I'm an American who doesn't travel, and in this story, she's technically American too and hard a fake accent, so or a lot something like who would just around the UK? Idk. Geography isn't y thing.
Not really sure what the difference is
10364087
Scottish Applejack.
10364093
even better. XD
10364089
American trying to do British accent.
Bert the Chimneysweep it is then.
10364094
Where would RD be from? Cloudsdale's to the north, so I reckon either Newcastle or Carlisle.
10364095
I guess she kinda sounds like Millie Bobby Brown's regular voice. Somewhere they could be considered in the middle, but leaning more towards British.
10364096
probably.
10364097
Works for me too.
10364098
Fluttershy's a little more challenging.
So I'll suggest Manchester.
10364102
what about rarity?

10364107
What type of sauce? Is it BBQ?
10364103
Outer Home Counties (Buckinghamshire and similar).
10364122 Nah. A lovely white roux with a little Parmesan cheese added for saltiness.
10364125
Mmmmm. Delicious.
10364073 I... I'm not sure what's happening here...
10364097
Right, but all native accents in Britain are British, so I'm not sure what 'leaning more towards British' means?
Let's be real here. If someone from outside the UK is talking about British accents, you almost certainly mean RP, a neutral, middle-class accent centred on the home counties around London. Sometimes called BBC English, as that's what anyone with a regional accent would have to convert to to be allowed on television.
Talking about England/Britain in terms of geographical location isn't so good for averages, because so much of the population and influence is based around the South East. Almost all the films, TV and exported material you'll have heard from the UK will have come exclusively from the bottom third and eastern half of the country. James Bond, Sherlock, Doctor Who, you name it, they're almost all from there. So when you say around the middle, you get Birmingham, which you've probably not heard internationally outside of Ozzy Osbourne.
Just say Sunset sounds like Emma Watson. Can't see it, personally, but sure.
10364124 Mid-Atlantic. It sounds British to American ears, and American to British ears, because it's an artificial construct somewhere between the two.
10364093
Or the West Country, famous for its cider.
10364173
The fact Sweetie Belle hasn't got said accent is further evidence Rarity is putting on an accent to create a specific impression.
10364180
Hmm, yes.
Will there be a sequel?
10364352
And since Twi is American, it would sound English to her. Whilst laughably bad to UK ears, Dick van Dyke's cockney accent in Mary Poppins would sound English to an American.
You're right Twiggels, the universe is messing with you. Because the universe is cruel like that.
Also, smooth Sunny. Really smooth move there at the end.
10364365 I've been thinking about this since this morning, and I can't think of a single passable British accent from a US actor. Can you?
There are a few the other way around, I think. Hugh Laurie in House is a good example, I think, since I get the impression a lot of people don't realise he's British.
10364388
None come to mind. Curiously, Canadians can do convincing British accents a lot better than Americans; Stephen Blum comes to mind.
I know Rarity was made Russian from a story called Code Lyoko: EG
10364408
Indeed it did since it was an AU story like this one.
Is there going to be more to this? It's marked as complete, but the way it ended made it seem like it was setting up more chapters.
Wasn't sure I'd enjoy this at first but I ended enjoying it
10364443
I don't plan on writing more, but I guess I could in the future. What happens to Twi and Sunset is kinda just meant to be up to the reader.
10364337
As of now, no.
Her bags.
Oww me encantó muchísimo!! Excelente fic
See a few people asking for sequels. Honestly I’m a bit more interested in a prequel. Not even all that much on the whole anon-a-mis bit either more of sunset pulling out of the us and setting herself up in England
10364990
I love that idea! In the two year gap between her moving out there and this story, I feel like a lot could happen I didn't actually put much thought into other than a half-assed backstory for why Pony Sunset was in London, but there could be a lot more to expand on. Maybe I'll work on that soon!
Honestly I would love tos we more of this sunset and her story
10365236
I would too! I'm going to work on another AU and the seventh chapter if Love Story tonight, but hopefully I can do that next week sometime!
10365618
I'm glad you liked it anyway!!
Ah yes, my finger slipped when I was adding this to all the groups I normally put my stuff in
Mm
Mildly disappointing. The story started and ended and aside from a few minor interactions, nothing happened.
10366091
The whole point was that Twilight was falling in love with a stranger. It was meant to be taken in snapshots of their interactions. It wasn't supposed to have a larger plot. It was just supposed to be Twilight falling in live with a girl she thought she could never have, but in the end, there's a possibility she could.
10365642
I've written one story about them, yes! They aren't my favorite ship, but if done right I can enjoy it.
I wouldn't mind seeing a part 2 to this. Like a afterwards of what happened and twilight finding out why the girl was in London.
3$ say it was tardis related.
Why didn't Sunset recognize Sci-Twi as the Human Twilight?
