Every character has a past, and sometimes, the past is a complicated, messy thing, full of good and bad, of defining moments, of broken relationships, of events that make a person think back and laugh...or even cry. Who we are now is because of all the little moments that have come before, the memories that shaped us.
So what shaped Sunset Shimmer? Who was she before?
More than that, what shaped her relationship with Princess Celestia? What made it fail?
Was it all Sunset's fault? Or was the Princess responsible? Or was the truth something far more complex than simple blame?
Maybe a trip down Memory Lane will have the answers...
Or maybe it will just raise more questions...
Yet another story that takes place in the same universe as my primary story "Cross the Rubicon", this is merely the beginning to what will become a sort of companion piece to a sidestory called "Supernova" that is in the works.
Hope you all enjoy! (Be careful what you ask for, dearest readers, because I may chose to deliver...just not in the way you expect! BRUHAHAHAHA.)
We are only one chapter in on this story and I am already in tears. :’)
*claps*
Magnificent. So delightfully similar to how I see it as well. I will gladly follow.
The feels! So heartbreaking--almost as much as a Eugene Field poem!
Poor Celestia! Poor Sunset! Poor Luna!
*Hrrk* I think...
Yep, there goes my heart...
But I do not regret wanting something like this. It sates my Momlestia fix... even if it breaks my heart...
Can't wait for more!

I know right ahhh
. This is really neat, Majadin, and I'll have tissues ready for the next chapter. May have to check out Cross the Rubicon as well now.
This just makes me more frustrated with Celestia, it doesn't make me sad :P. But I'll be looking forward to the rest of this.
the fiery eight-rayed sun Cutie that declared its owner’s identity.
I think you are missing a Mark there after Cutie?

Glad you liked it! Feel free to check out the other stories in the universe. Rubicon is...admittedly pretty long, but I like to think its worth it, since its the backbone for all these side stories. :}

Not everyone will have the same emotional response, lol.
And no. Not really a typo. I've used both "cutie mark" and "cutie" (the second usually in conjunction with a descriptor of the mark's image), and I think I've also used "mark" on a few occassions as well, in all of the different stories. Its more "what phrasing fits the particular bit at a given moment?"
Okay
cracks knuckles
Whose the idiot who “reminded Sunset of her place”?

*cracks neck to side* Want some help with that?

Eh, probably some noble or aristo-brat (love that portmanteau)
I love momlestia so much and i cried from.this thank you
Nice story. Added to my read list.
Love this first chapter.
The way you describe the story this one is supposed to go with, I’m not sure I would like the other story too.
I need more!!!
okay so THAT broke my heart into a thousand pieces.
