Writing is just pain leaving the spirit...

E

Somnambula, despite being the Pillar of Hope, has always been a hopeless romantic herself. But one day, while visiting Ponyville's newest Science Faire, a chance meeting may finally turn things around for the heroic pegasus.


Written for Nailah's Shipping Contest! The pairing was selected at random.

The name sounds familiar. Is this based off of another story?

Nope! Just a really weak pun on my part. :twilightsheepish:

A nice start, now where's chapter 2? :duck:

boy does that name pun sound familar
Like I'm not even mad, just amused. My main problem is thus, it's... everything moves a bit too fast really, like there's not enough time for a relationship to properly develop. I know love at first sight is a thing but they're just barely friends as is. With a rare pair like this, a crack ship, you really gotta sell it.

10837377
Well... shit. I'm sorry! Didn't even see that one!

But, yeah. Mea culpa on the length. It was written for a friend's contest, and... I really didn't know what to do with it. Contest involved randomly selected couples. I might try and come up with something more for this ship, since I found I really liked writing Somnambula... but at the moment there's too much on my plate as is.

This is a fic I never thought would be written, let alone this well.

Something beautiful, something simple, something warm.

This story is beautiful yet fleeting.
Like a golden sunset afternoon a shimmering summers day.

Ri2

But Sunset, what will Grogar say?

Huh... interesting pairing and it's off to a nice start.

so do you intend to do a sequel?

Sometime, maybe. I did find the pairing rather cuter than I expected. And it would be nice to do a sequel of them back in EqG world... :trollestia:

10843578
Yeah xD

but would it be the sleepwalker of the human world or the equestrian one?
likely answer: yes

This is very cute! I very much enjoyed it :heart:

Welp, this is a ship I never remotely considered, and now suddenly want more of. Mostly for the Cleopatra jokes human characters could make.

Nice. Fun how often Sunset manages to get a hoof in her mouth.

This was cute, sorry I didn't see this earlier. Besides, who can resist turquoise eyes and fire haired mane?

Somnambula nodded, and smiled. “Ah, yes! We see now. Princess Twilight did not call it cosplay , as such, but the principle seems the same.”

Huh. :rainbowhuh:

“And fear not,” she added with a little giggle, “I do know who you are, Sunset Shimmer. And despite your little ‘whoopsie’, as Pinkie may call it, I am told that Celestia holds you in highest regard. So, I shall be magnanimous, and allow all this to be beneath the bridge, yes?”

It's water under the bridge somnambulant but I'll let it slide. :twilightblush:

Somnambula gave her new friend a quick pat atop her head, which elicited a titter from poor Sunset. And though the tension of a public faux pas fell from Sunset’s shoulders, her blush remained. This was of interest to Somnambula, yet…

faux pass*

Sunset visibly cringed, and almost appeared to shrink back into her mane like Fluttershy was sometimes seen to do.

And human Fluttershy too. :applejackunsure:

“And why not?” she asked and, despite her pledging not to do so, ran a hoof through her white headdress and mane in a rather flirtatious manner. “Is my style not the ‘knees of the bee’?”

knees of the bee? :applejackconfused:
