A much better end for him than what could have been. She was always the last stop on Sunset’s little tours like this, at the corner of the field. A lone green arm, peeking out from the quilt of sewn-together jackets and coats obscuring her face and body.

In the Void, it was very difficult to die. But one could find the way, if motivated enough.

When a writer doesn't even need to namedrop a character while describing their fate...

Why is this so downvoted?

There was a similar story a few months or years by now ago where sunset was alone in the void and twilight tried to reform her that way.
basically solitary confinement untill broken will.

Dang. This is heavy. Well done.

there was an episode where some equestrian magic effected a mirror and it allowed the user to alter reality and also trap people in a void like world in the mirror. The starlight in that episode was equestrian starlight as she takes a trip there and in the episode was able to talk the user of the mirror down

holy yikes batman

That sound horrifying, and exactly like the kind of thing Twilight would do.

the worst part was that sunset had actually started to come around.
but when she told twidumb so, book horse just went:"no, i do not believe you, you just want to get out of here. let us see about this next year again eh?"
meaning it had been years allready.

Yup chalk another one up for princess Twilight Stockholm, Nepotism is magic.

Impressive and chilling in equal measure.

I got the Wally refference but what's the deal with Glimmer? Why is she malformed?

Ifi remember correctly when the mirror begain to break in the show the floor begain to fall apart in that void and its kinda implyed that they might die if they had fell in. If everyone stayed asleep in that void for ages then maby a sequal could be when the magic runs out and they are free but in a future that they dont know. Like maby the mirror was kept after junipers defete but kept in a museam or something

Who is Wally? Are you talking about the guy from Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire?

thank you for the contest! i wouldn't have even thought of this otherwise, and i love this idea
11304174
thank you so much! :)
11304252
glad that got through! i ended up compressing a lot of what was in my head as to what's been happening in this Void, and hoped that the readers would be able to connect the dots
11304324
as always, thank you for gracing me with your presence, fanreader-senpai :)
11304328
i wish i could tell you! can't mind-read unfortunately
11304480
thank you! i just love the existentialism-ness of the concept
11304683
thank you :)

i ended up being unable to fit it in, but originally i was going to have Starlight lament that she didn't break the mirror when she had the chance, hinting that this is an AU where the mirror remained intact and Juniper rejected Starlight's plea. and yes, that is exactly what they are hoping for! but all they can do is wait and hope, since the outside world cannot be affected from where they are
11305554
thank you so much!

as for the Glimmer reference, the idea is that the forms the characters take in the Void aren't their literal physical bodies, but thoughtforms in the shape of their mental map of themselves when they entered the mirror. but Starlight was still pretty fresh to being in and moving in a human body, and her mental map of herself was somewhere between human and pony, resulting in her being an unnatural blend of the two. inspiration taken from Faun, which i highly recommend!

Short, punchy, and very chilling. You appear to be on a roll with one shots as of late.

What story is this? I’d love to read it.

11311394
if i could remember it, i would have linked it allready.
sorry.

11311434
Do you remember anything about it? Tags, word count, author, and so on?

11311458
No, none of it.
It has been months maybe years since i last read that one.
Sunset Shimmer, trapped in a white void to do her time for her crimes.
Twilight Sparkle coming in to talk, see if she has reformed.
Sunset says yes. Twilight does not believe her.
Leaves her there for another year.
That is all i remember about it.

11311534
Hrm, so no other characters? I could probably find it by the tags, but I'd need a smidge more to go off of.

11311665
No other characters, no.

11311675
Hrm, and it was a complete one-shot? There was nothing else you can remember about it? Rating? Genre tags?

11311721
Yeah, complete oneshot.
And no, sadly i do not remember more than the basic premise.

11311749
Well, maybe I'll be able to find it with some effort. However, a search with the tags below didn't yield a story that appeared to meet the description of the one you're talking about.

The tags I used:

status:complete #alternate-universe #sunset-shimmer #twilight-sparkle words:<50000 -#other -#flash-sentry -#main-6 -#the-dazzlings

11311764
No Flash Sentry.
No Dazzlings.
This was set directly after the crown debacle if i remember correctly.
Also, below 10k words should be good allready.
But even using google does not bring anything up.

11311799
I searched for anything below 50,000 so it should have shown up, unless I was wrong to exclude any other tags.

11311825
Nah should be good.

11311838
Well, it didn't show up, so maybe it was removed by the author.

11312552
Maybe. Shame if that were the case.
It wasn't long but a nice dark shorty.

11312624
I’d admittedly love to find it but it is hard without much to go off of. I’ve read a few similar stories that use Starlight and Twilight, but none with Sunset.

11312671
Yeah, searching for a specific story you know not much of is frustratingly hard.
