I hooked up way too late on MLP... Ah well, who cares! Better late than never ;D

Sunset Shimmer might as well be a black cat, with how much bad luck seems to follow her everywhere that involves magic. Yet ending up in a place other than Equestria and becoming a fugitive within 24 hours just has to be the icing on the cake.

Stranded on the Boiling Isles, Sunset takes refuge at a sentient house, where two witch sisters sharing a curse, a big-headed demon, and a human girl/witch in-training help her hone her rediscovered magic powers and get back home.


  • Post-canon MLP/EqG, the girls are currently in their senior year and Princess Twilight has been ruling Equestria for about six moons (CHS started around the time Luz has been admitted into Hexside).
  • Set sometime after the Season 1 finale of The Owl House and is an alternate take on the second season (while retaining as much canonical aspects as possible).
  • Mild violence throughout the story, but most prominent in one single chapter, gore tag to be added later.

I hope Sunset can avoid being captured again by the Emperor and get back to her world again and see her friends again.

Why not make the picture the cover art for this story?

I'll do it if the artist grants me permission to use it, and I'm still waiting for an answer. Some people just don't feel comfortable if one uses their stuff without them being asked first, and I want to be rather safe than sorry :twilightblush:

10608136
We'll see. Only time can tell, after all :raritywink:

10608175
You're right, only time will tell if Sunset will find a way back home or never see them again.

This seems interesting. Hope Sunset can freely use magic in this world. Looking forward to read more.

This is really cool. As someone who loves TOH, I eagerly await the next chapter

Off to a good start, and eager to see more (a little dissapionted I'll have to wait so long do so, but can totally understand why since you'd want to try and get a grasp on what's going on in season 2 for this fic)

So yeah great work :twilightsmile:

It will be interesting to see where this goes! Never seen a fic written in tandem with the source release before.

Hey, I don't mean to rush, but is the next chapter coming anytime soon?

10686741
You're good, and as I stated in the Author's Note, I want to wait for Season 2 to air before I post the next chapter. I have the outline ready, but there will be no updates before the premiere of the first episode, to retain at least a little bit of the canon storyline :twilightsmile:

10689902
Does it need to keep to canon?

Dear saint who wrote this story,
It is with great pleasure to announce that your troubles of waiting for episodes of The Owl House to air are finally over

The Owl Club

Your saviour has finally arrived. You can get all the latest episodes of The Owl House season two when they are posted. I look forward to your reply

Yours Truly, Nosey Flame.

Please tell me that Eda figures out that Sunset is not from the Human world originally but from Equestria instead, after all her name gives that much away that she isn't a 'Normal' human.

10912326
Don't worry, my friend, the cast will find it out soon enough on their trip to the Confirmatorium :raritywink:

10912316
Dear Nosey, thank you very much for the link. Thanks to you, I could watch today's newest episode Eda's Requiem unedited and in full screen, and marvel at the new character Raine Whispers (whom I can very much relate to btw , I'm no public speaker myself :rainbowlaugh: )

I look forward to contributing more to the fandoms and hope to finish the next chapter soon enough for you and everyone else to read. Thank you so much for the kind words, and keep awesome :rainbowdetermined2:

All right, I'm intrigued. Nice OP, btw.

A little disappointed we skipped through her training with Celestia I MEAN Aurora, though.

So, Celestia is at the Boiling Isles?

You took your time, but I think it paid off. Can't wait to see where this goes.

“How peculiar,” Aurora noted with a chuckle. “Palismen usually don’t warm up to strangers that quickly, if not at all. And yet Philomena seems to have taken an instant liking to you.”

Wait, Philomena? Is this Celestia's counterpart? Are there counterparts now?

Now I want to see Princess Celestia, principal Celestia, and Aurora meet.

10912326
The problem with that is, it is a normal name, at least where Sunset comes from. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy aren't exactly normal names either. Of course, it's possible there are two different human worlds.

10912714
I think this IS Celestia who popped over. I mean Philomena is a dead give away. I'm surprised Sunset hadn't recognize the name yet

10914652
How she reacted to Sunset is a clue too. However, how would she know so much about the Boiling Isles and its magic if she was the pony Celestia? Maybe she spent a lot of time there a few centuries ago.

I'd like to point out that, while I'm not against profanity, the scene with the Golden Guard/Hunter which spontaneously brought in more adult language when it wasn't used before felt a little jarring in how sudden it was.

REWARD: $1.500.000.000.000

Damn she has a bigger Bounty then Eda not even five minutes on the boiling Isles and you're already wanted I think that's a new record for you sunset

She should get a trophy for the fastest and highest bounty

same. Its why i have not read it yet but have it on my to read list. I absohootly LOVE The Owl House!

uis

Sweet Celestia, even Nightmare Moon would have been intimidated by that creature’s eerie nature.

1) I'm not shure Sunset Shimmer have seen Nightmare Moon.
2) May I translate this fanfic?

uis

“That’s what I thought. So forgive me for being wary, my liege ” - she spat out his title

Why she called him "my liege"?

uis

“I did it,” Sunset breathed. “I did it,” she repeated in a more elated tone, a stunned laugh escaping her lips. “I did magic .”

Stunned laugh? Not sudden?

Update soon, literally the first special of the third season is out

“I believe in you… my faithful student.”

Hol' up- IS AURORA LITERALLY CELESTIA???

“Oh, but where are my manners?” He asked in a way too sardonic way to be polite. “Allow me, Miss Shimmer, for I am Emperor Belos, ruler of the Boiling Isles, bringer of peace and balance.” His eyes suddenly glowed an icy blue, narrowed. “And I do not appreciate other beings intruding on this land like that.”

It's not your land you bitch! :twilightangry2:

So this is another magic world. Sunset pondered. Wait, a fallen Titan ? What does he mean by tha-? She paused in mid-thought, then let out another shudder. Okay, that certainly explains that giant thumping heart up there.

Which is creepy imo. I still question what's its purpose. :applecry:

“But there was a time, where witches recklessly mixed the magic, something the Titan never approved of. It brought despair and destruction upon the Boiling Isles, the Savage Ages. The Titan spoke to me, and the witches listened to his words through my mouth. Upon ascending the throne, I established the Coven System to ensure magic shall never be mixed again.”

Like I'd believe that. :ajbemused:

And then, before any of them could even blink, the human girl was enveloped in a bright light, and vanished into thin air.

https://m.

REWARD: $1.500.000.000.000

Well, looks like she better go into hiding before she's found again. :fluttershysad:

Before long, the unease Sunset felt since the moment she awoke slowly started to fade away as they exchanged stories about previous adventures and past mischief. She was particularly intrigued when Aurora revealed her love for sweets things, especially cake, and how often she got in trouble for sneaking off slices thinking no one would notice.

Why does she sound like an alternate version of Celestia? :unsuresweetie:

“But your friends would not have wanted you to grieve for them. They would have wanted for you to keep moving, keep fighting for them, and to never give up no matter what. Though you may be realms away from them, they are always gonna be with you, right here in your heart.

She's right. :twilightsmile:

“My geode…” Sunset murmured as her hand curled around the gem. “B-but… how ?”

Had a feeling that was connected to her question. :ajsmug:

(Halfway, she stops, and she looks at the camera. After a final flash of Luz, Eda and King, Sunset turns around completely, and her cyan eyes flash in the sunlight.)

Will they or any other characters from TOH show up in the story? :applejackunsure:

(Sunset is now seen walking to the left, clad in a white cloak and Aurora's staff in her right hand while Luz and Eda (with King) cast spells in the background. Then said people are seen flying on their respective staffs while Willow, Gus and Amity appear, displaying their signature spells just like in the Season 2 intro.)

Wait, did the narrator just break the fourth wall?! :pinkiegasp:

(The scene pans over to Luz, Eda and King standing atop the Owl House, similar to that in the series intro. Luz opens her palms to reveal a light orb, and she sees another light orb in another pair of hands - Sunset’s. She looks up, seeing a warm smile on her face, which she directs to Luz from the light orb upon eye contact. Smiling back, Luz, along with Sunset lift up the orb to the sky, revealing the title of the story, Finding the Light; or, The Human Witch . Fire swirls around the title briefly before the screen cuts to black.)

And it happened again! :twilightoops:

“ Sunset . I insist. ” Aurora gently took ahold of Sunset’s hand and curled it around the handle. “Every witch needs a companion. And while Philomena might not be your palisman, you and her have formed a connection that almost equals that of ours. She trusts you, and she feels as much a need to protect you as does with me. And don’t tell me Philomena has not found a place in your heart as well, isn’t that so?”

Can't argue there. :applejackunsure:

Her stealth skills in all those video games against Rainbow Dash were finally paying off.

Aurora would be proud. :twilightsmile:

“Hello, Coven Scum. A great displeasure to meet you.”

Lol! :rainbowlaugh:

“Call me Phoenix. Bon voyage.”

Not bad of a name. Interesting too. :rainbowhuh:

TO BE CONTINUED…

Idk when the next chapter will be out, but knowing that Owl House is months away from ending, I'm really eager and hoping this story continues. I want to see an ending to this so badly!!! :applecry:
