Two months ago, the bandit Sunset Shimmer held up her first shipment wagon heading out from Rich Enterprises and made off with thousands in taxes and promissory notes taken from the western town of Ponyville. Since then she's hit three more wagons, and the CEO of Rich Enterprises wants the sheriff and her deputy to do something about it.

Unfortunately, the long arm of the law has a limp wrist.


Written off of an idea from Lord Camembert.

oh my godddddddddddddddddd how is everything you write with them so PURE

This is adorably weird. :heart:

I liked where this was going!

Okay, I just have to point out:

Unfortunately, the long arm of the law has a limp wrist.

*snerk* That's the best gay joke I've seen in a while.

But the point remained that it had been Sunset's mentor's gun, and now it was hers! That's a lot like inheriting a weapon, just involving a smidge more crime.

The secret ingredient is crime.

A noise of terror not unlike air being slowly released from a balloon with chronic depression

:rainbowlaugh: And you said you couldn't write comedy! Seriously, there's a lot of good jokes in the prose here, which is exactly what you're supposed to do in a comedy story.

Okay, this first chapter was really fun. I love the idea of Wallflower hiding in a rain barrel. It just feels so fitting. Maybe because she's kind of like a potted plant in there? I dunno. Also love AJ as the apathetic bartender and Sunset as the honor-bound bandit. Fun characters in this so far!

After almost a week of intermittent evening lessons, she'd only managed to shoot a single bottle of sarsaparilla, and as it happened that particular bottle had not only not been one of the targets, it had been full.

And in Sunset's hand.

Talk about having a hair trigger, Wally. :rainbowlaugh:

"OH GOD, MY LEG! WHERE DID THAT BULLET EVEN COME FROM?!"

Sunset Shimmer: Criminal Hobbyist.

I could see this being canon at some point.

"It smells like a brewery caught fire and fucked a vineyard in there!"

I'm stealing this line.

"I don't know, but maybe I can start by buying you a drink?"

Heh, makes total sense, given that Sunset's all about doing things "the right way" in this story. I think they're past quick courting already, but what do I know? :ajsmug:

This was a fun read! Cute, funny, but true to the SunFlower dynamic we all know and love. Great work, especially for something churned out from one of Cam's quick, silly ideas. (Your writing output is damn impressive, Yammy.) My only complaint is that I feel that the story needs an AU tag, but I'm just a nitpicker about things like that.

Third chapter where they knock boots in a jail cell when?

Excellent as always, and in a setting/plot I don't see often.

Aw this was adorable I loved seeing where western sunset and wallflower goes. Honestly now I kinda want to see what clod of adventures those two could get up to.

No sequel? No Wally and Sunny teamin' up against Rich, vis-a-vi Bonnie and Cyde style?

If Wally is such a stickler for rules, how'd she let Rich corrupt the town anyway? Isn't that against the rules...then again, it is the old west, so maybe that was the rule? Heck, now that I think about it, it seems to be just as much the rule today.

Huh.
Well.
Highly unexpected plotline and setting here, but the quality was as good as expected nonetheless. :D
Thank you for writing. :)


(The bystander getting accidentally shot in the leg during practice, and Sunset and Wallflower leaving instead of trying to provide any help, does kind of jar with the overall tone for me, but I think that might just be... hm. A failure of the surrealism filter on my part? Not sure how good that description is, but something like that. It feels to me like it's maybe just a bit too far away from the story's average level of comedic nonsense, such that I initially processed it seriously rather than as a joke. Hm. Nonstandard-sense, might be better than "nonsense"? The particular "rules" of a certain level of departure from our reality for purposes of humor... ...Aye, I'm not having that easy a time describing it. Anyway, though, I don't think it's a big problem, even for me, and is likely a matter of personal perception; it just stood out enough to me that I thought I'd mention it, though.
(I think there might be particular context involved, too. Like, it's a key element in this story that getting shot is bad, and can be deadly, and the characters are taking that relatively seriously; more proximately, Sunset was just shortly before considering with concern the possibility of that bullet hitting someone. (And I'd started worry about that when the shot went up, before the risk was explicitly mentioned, since it was something I was already aware of, but that's perhaps back on the personal perspective side.) So, when someone gets hit by that bullet, in the leg and thus potentially both causing serious bleeding and impairing their mobility, in an area Sunset had just identified as away from anything else, my brain processed it as a serious matter rather than, hm, something more like Daffy Duck taking a shotgun blast to the face at close range. Not quite that far into "wacky", it probably would have been, but that was an example in that direction that came to mind.
...Aaaaand I'm not sure how well I'm explaining myself, still, and given that and that this is indeed not seeming that big an issue, I think I'll go ahead and stop now; if this hasn't done it already, I doubt building the wall a few lines higher will make it more clear, and I assume we both have other things to do. :D))
(Sorry about the length, though.)

Hiya, Arkane here,

I've finished the review you requested for Nailah's Reviewer Mansion.

You can find the review here.

Feel free to DM me if you have questions about anything.
Keep up the good work!

Hell yeah gamer! Gay yeehaw fluff is something I hadn’t known I was missing in my life.

Berry Punch is Best Sheriff. Change my mind. :ajsmug:

Sunset lowered her gun, and thin tracks were cut down the filth and dust on her cheeks that she wiped away as quickly as she could before thumbing the safety on her Colt and sticking it back in its holster.

Soooooo close, but no Colt revolver has a safety. Minus 5 points from Hufflepuff! :rainbowderp:
