Sgt. Sunset Shimmer is dying. Struck in the stomach by a bullet during the heat of combat, she now lays helpless on a deserted battlefield, the conflict having moved on without her. There's not a living soul around to help her... or so it might seem.
Until she's approached by a being from her past, one that she'd desperately hoped never to see again, a creature to which she has given much and owes much more... and one that might be able to save her life.
Choices, choices...

"Not seventh, but frankly, good riddance to her."
Maybe it was the blood loss, but Sunset found herself nodding. "She still owes me thirty bucks."
The demon gasped in realization. "She does! The bitch!"
Snark aside, this is horrifying. Especially given the uncertainty of just what the demon plans on doing. Excellent little snippet of the occupational hazards of demonology. Best of luck in the judging.
Oh damn. Poor Sunset got screwed over hard by her dark side there. Well done.
Same.
Glad she confessed it.
Sunset no! 😱
Oh. Oh shit!
Ngl, I'd love to see a sequel to this.
It is good work !! Why I didn't read it only?! Thank you, for this!
Wow, such a good short story in a short amount of time. I'm glad that she explanation of how the shipping when was short and oh boy, what a good way of Sunset to need her demon form/how to get her wrecked by it/her. Things could have been even worse and the ending bad news is left up to the imagination, which mostly makes the ideas of what the squad is going to come up against even worse. The described ending was light, all things considered.
When did Sunset join the army?

This story is set in its own AU, completely separated from canon.
Horrifying tale executed gorgeously. I can truly grasp Sunset's character and pain in so few words. We can only hope she finds a way out of the darkness...
