This story is a sequel to Mirror Equestria


“I can’t believe it… I’m back.” Twilight tilted her head.
“Back? Back where?” Sunset looked to her solemnly.
“Back home. In Equestria.”

Be sure to check out the prequel Mirror Equestria if you haven't read it yet, or else this story won't make any sense! :pinkiehappy:

Note: This story is basically full of self-indulgent Headcanons for Sunset, since she's my favourite character and I just can't help but spoil her :raritywink:

It's back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :pinkiegasp::rainbowderp::moustache:

yes its back thank you

Thank you immensely for getting this sequel to your previous story started. Thus far, I like the work that went into the exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-up. So, this is set sometime after Twilight ascended. But I definitely liked the dialogue between the Mane 6 and Sunset as Sunset finally realized she was back in her original Equestria.

Definitely looking forward to the next chapter.

Well this'll be an interesting turn of events. I hope Sunset kept her geode.

Seems like Sunset's been in a coma for a few years, given the stiff joints.

Yeahhhhhb you are back!!!!!!!

Part of me can only guess your HC 3 is that there is an actual Element of Empathy.

Well to be fair with this, Alicornhood feels earned for Sunset as she did just fix an AU Equestria world's problems. When I get my main account back, there is something similar I've been planning where Sunset ends up doing something that would be an easy way to say "Yeah this was earned" with a story arc I've been building up.

Certainly enjoyed the chats in this chapter, first between Sunset and the Mane Six (which resulted in Sunset figuring out that she ascended) and then between Sunset and Celestia and Luna. The exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-up are all wonderfully done.

I quite agree that Sunset certainly earned ascension with that helping fix an alternate world. And, yeah, her turning out to be the Alicorn of Empathy would definitely be very appropriate, as would the actual existence of the Element of Empathy. Of course, Sunset meeting Spike would be a great touch as it would be one of the first times Sunset met a sapient from a non-pony race.

Very certainly looking forward to more of this.

I really hope there will be more of this. I think a lot of us also really like these head-canons and want to see more of them.

i feel like your writing has improved a lot over the course of Mirror Equestria and this fic! that makes me so happy to see, and i’ve had such a nice time reading both. imo, you’ve captured the same spirit the show has in your fics! you’re quite good at writing everyone’s characterization as well (:

i am so excited to read more of this— alicorn sunset fanfics are my favorites, and i love mom celestial!!!

Excellent job on the latest chapter. Very certainly appreciate the work that went into the exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-up. I also like you confirming the suspicions that several of us already had concerning Sunset and her Element. The dialogue with Luna concerning that was a beautiful touch. And Sunset's reaction to Fluttershy befriending Discord and the girls defeating Tirek was superb as well.

Quite definitely looking forward to more of this.

I LOVE THIS STORY

Another name for it could be: Make Sunset Shimmer have the happiness she deserves!

Really enjoyed your stories so far. I know its a headcanon thing but I firmly believe Sunset is Celestia's daughter, with it is through adoption or blood. I honestly love read stories with that in it. Also after eq3 friendship games you can't tell me Sunset is mot an alicorn. I believe she just needs to go through the accession process. Look forward to your next chapter.

Umm more please this is a great and just wish to see how it goes🙏🥰

So far the story is going well, I hope you continue with the fic.

More!! We need more!

Luna, the greatest stalker of equestria.

I can already foresee the mob of people demanding more.

REALLY glad to see the next chapter up. Definitely very well worth the wait. The dialogue between Sunset and Luna is great stuff, especially in the flashback.

Definitely going to be looking forward to more of this.

alicorn are multiplying!

Yeah. It started with one (Celestia herself). Then it became two (when Cadance ascended, even if she wasn't anywhere near as well known as the first until the Royal Wedding and return of the Crystal Empire). Then it became three (when Luna returned). Then four and five (when Twilight and Sunset respectively ascended). And relatively soon (i.e. a bit over a year), it will be six (when Flurry Heart is born).

But, you know? That's not a bad thing in the slightest. :-D

Oh no I forgot there was a Part 1 in the title NOoo, More please🤣

I must admit, I love those two headcannon too when it come to Sunset. Although having a sun-themed pony be the daughter of Luna could be funny.

Okay, okay! :rainbowlaugh: Next chap is up now so that stick can take a break now! :yay:

Here's hoping you don't take so long with the next chapter. I'm sure we all want to see this story continue and see where it's heading.

thanks for the update!!!! :pinkiehappy:

Excellent job on the latest chapter. Definitely well worth the wait. The exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-up are all really well done. Definitely appreciated the flashbacks showing Luna and Sunset's respective returns in greater detail as well as some more of the dream world chat and the reactions to the fact that Sunset IS still alive before she actually woke up.

Certainly looking forward to more of this.

Thanks for the update Love the defined line between which is the Flashback or not, some fics didn't bother to make which is which, thanks for thata

Well, it was worth the wait. And while I do hope you won’t take as long for the next chapter, I also hope you will take all the time you need rather than rush it. (Quality over speed an quantity :raritywink:)

I hope not too :fluttercry: But I can't help it; my inspiration and motivation to write comes and goes and my attention span bounces around like a ping pong ball :raritycry:
Still, I'm trying my best, so I thank all of you for being patient and sticking with me despite the extremely slow updates :pinkiesad2:

11364460
Totally understandable :twilightsheepish: It annoys me too when I read fics that don't define flashbacks or whatnot properly and then I get confused

11364922
Thank you so much :pinkiesad2: My attention span isn't the best and I've been feeling quite burnt out these days, but I'll work on it little by little to ensure that even though updates might be slow, you guys will get the completed story in the end! :twilightsmile:

“A…princess?” Sunset frowned. “Why is it so dark anyway? Why didn’t you turn on the lights?” She asked as her horn lit up and the lights turned on in the room. How did she go from being with Celestia in the old castle to a room somewhere? Sunset felt her confusion grow as the group of ponies before her stared at her with mouths agape. “Why are you staring at me like that?” She asked, getting off the bed and stretching. Why do her limbs feel so stiff?

Huh, guess Celestia was the key to helping her return home! :pinkiegasp:

“Exactly. And they aren’t usually continuous. So it doesn’t really make any sense if I were to say it’s just a dream, but at the same time, I can’t fully say for sure that it’s a whole new entire world too.”

Still though, I guess whatever spell she casted just made her pass out or something. :applejackunsure:

“WHAT ARE THESE?!” She leapt off her bed, landing ungracefully on her face. The two appendages on her back, the source of her shock, were flared out haphazardly. “What the- These can’t be real!” She spluttered as she pushed herself up and spread her wings out behind her.

:pinkiegasp:

https://m.

“No… I’m…actually glad it happened.” Her voice broke as she nuzzled Celestia’s mane. “I love you too…mom.” Celestia felt her tears well up anew in her eyes as she listened to Sunset. “I’m sorry I was such a brat.”

Glad things are better now. :yay:

“No, my little Sun. I want you to come along, for this concerns you as well.” Sunset only felt her confusion grow as she followed Celestia and Luna, with Twilight and her friends following along.

This is getting good! :pinkiehappy:

“I’d like that, Sunset Shimmer.” Luna suddenly looked out of the window and stood up. “We’re here.” She announced to the rest as the train came to a stop. As they alighted, Sunset made a mental note to tell Celestia and Luna about her own adventure once this issue with the Elements of Harmony was settled. And maybe they might be able to figure out why and how I got my wings too… She added in her mind.

Well were about to find out soon enough. :applejackunsure:

“There are… seven Elements of Harmony?” Twilight felt her jaw drop as she counted and recounted again to arrive at the same number. “B-But…how is that possible? I thought there were only 6 Elements of Harmony!”

:pinkiegasp:

https://m.

“…a little empathy is needed.” Sunset finished in a whisper, her eyes widening even more. Now, the moments when Luna had spoken familiar words to her made sense. “Of course. You’re the Alicorn in charge of the Dream Realm. You were there.”

Sooo, could that be why she got an element of harmony and alicorn wings? :rainbowderp::applejackconfused:

For a while, Luna had almost forgotten that this was a dream, which she assumed belonged to this particular pony. But that brought about another set of questions. How did she know how the events of Nightmare Moon’s defeat occurred? And how did she know of the Elements of Harmony? There was no other pony in that old castle except us and Celestia. This was too similar to the actual event for it to be a coincidence. For something that’s supposed to be just a dream, it’s rather frighteningly realistic. What exactly is going on here?

It sure is a lot to process. :applejackconfused:

“Well, I don’t really know much since I didn’t exist a thousand years ago, but I can tell you what I know. Don’t expect too much though. I’m a bit of a newcomer myself, so I won’t be able to tell you about anything that happened before I came here.” Luna listened as Sunset fed her tales of her adventures, as well as the myths that exist in this dream world. Just as Sunset neared the end of her story, Luna noticed a missing detail about the pony. She was fairly certain that Sunset had ascended into an alicorn during the battle with Nightmare Moon, and yet the pony that now stood before her did not bear any wings upon her back. She did a double check just to be sure and confirmed that Sunset was indeed a unicorn. It didn’t make any sense. Where did her wings go? Was it even possible for an Alicorn to revert back to the form they had before ascension?

Your question is as good as mine Luna. :applejackunsure:

“You have to understand how important you were to me, Sunset. When you casted that spell and fell into a deep sleep, I was devastated. I even thought you were dead when the guards first presented your limp body to me. After that, I tried various ways to wake you to no avail. When it became obvious that I would not be able to wake you, I thought I had lost you forever. It hurt to even think of you. So I didn’t. Or at least, I tried not to.” Sunset recognised her words. The Celestia I met in that world really is her counterpart. They’re so similar. “I had you placed in your old room, and hid your room away with an invisibility spell, holding onto the smallest glimmer of hope that you would one day awaken and return to me.”

Knew it! :yay:

“That very night, when I first met you, both Celestia and I felt strong magic from the Treehouse of Harmony and I immediately exited from the dream after giving you the excuse of wanting to rest. We knew that it was connected to the Elements and rushed over to find this.” Luna said, gesturing to the Tree of Harmony with the 7 Elements.

Don't you mean tree of harmony? :unsuresweetie:

These are 2 of my headcanons as well i honestly love the idea and it makes a lot of sense!

Interesting stories. Added to ready list. Hope all is well with you. :twilightsmile:

I'm still waiting and I'm also willing to wait just hoping for a news

This is very good. I'm giving you six stars for doing a good job. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Can't wait to see your upcoming chapters and remember: Believe in yourself, take on your challenges, dig deep within yourself to conquer fears. Never let anyone bring you down. You got to keep going.
