Starlight Glimmer (or at least the human Starlight Glimmer) was defeated and offered a second chance the same way her counterpart was. But just like her counterpart, Starlight is reeling from the regret of everything she did, made even worse since she’s a teenage girl still recovering from the highs magical corruption brought her to.
After Starlight flakes on meeting up with Sunset and her friends one day, Sunset makes her way to Starlights home and forces a talk between the two of them to figure what’s going on with her, talk things out, and perhaps... becoming something more?
My entry for Reactceptions Unseen Villains shipping contest.
Context in case someone didn’t read the A/N: human Starlight was a charismatic political activist that preached an extremely collectivist form of communism. She had gathered a group of followers consisting of teenagers and young adults and basically started a secular cult that severely limited her followers individuality.
Like all cult leaders, she was a bit of a hypocrite who preyed on her followers and took their money to enrich herself/didn’t spend it the way she said she was.
Eventually, before the events of the Friendship Games, Sci-Twi came across Starlights content online and began poking holes in Starlights ideology. Starlight felt threatened and challenged Sci-Twi to a debate in front of her whole group, hoping that her followers might scare Sci-Twi from further arguing with her.
It went horribly for Starlight, and her followers turned on her, especially when Starlight couldn’t produce proof of how she was spending the money the way she promised.
Just like her counterpart, Starlight was bitterly resentful of Twilight, but didn’t have any way of enacting any kind of revenge.
That is until she came across a magical artifact from Equestria, one that gave the wielder magical power and allowed them to go back in time.
To make a long story short, Sunset realized what was going on, she was unable to contact Twilight, Starlight figured out who was responsible and the two went to confront human Starlight, human Starlight very nearly broke time trying to install her form of communism worldwide, and she was eventually talked down and gave up the artifact, fixing the timeline.

Cause it’s a shipping story, I can’t fit all of that in. I gave enough hints to what happened in the story proper to give a clear picture of what human Starlight did.

I found it fairly clear tbh
Sure didn't expect to know the human counterpart of Starlight's dad knows about Equestria right away into this story.
I did not expect what she did was related to what her counterpart did.
First off, Wallflower only wanted revenge on Sunset over how popular she became for becoming a good person, while Junipter wanted revenge on all seven of them all because they ruined her plans to have a role in a film.

Makes sense.
Even if this was short, I enjoyed this very much and the ship too.
Even 3 years later I still can't get over that...
