(Spoilers for Make Your Mark: Chapter 4. Featured on 7/5/2023.)
Having left Opaline for good, Misty is still trying to get used to the big changes in her life: Living in Maretime Bay, and having actual friends.
To make matters worse, Misty is still plagued with guilt over the role she played in helping Opaline become so powerful. And the guilt continues to linger despite the reassurances of her friends.
Then, one day, Misty runs into a friend of Sunny and Hitch that hasn't really hung out with them in a long time. But Sprout seems to know at least a little about what Misty is going through, in fact, he claims he can relate. Yet neither he or Misty suspects that something might be blooming between them.
Chapters (1)
Really liked the work you put into this one-shot. I can definitely see why Misty would be so deeply regretting the stuff she did in the past that she would have trouble sleeping. Also liked Sprout acknowledging that he made some pretty big mistakes himself. Both of them have a long way to go, but they're still making progress in the right direction and I loved how that showed.
Again, the exchanges, characterizations and general wrap-up were all rather well-done.
Oh man that is pretty hard for her she still feel guilty for what happened

Well, naturally. She might have been tricked and largely following orders, but she still did things she is FAR from proud of. So, feeling guilty is very understandable.
Awww to be honest I kind of like the shipping between those two it's one of those rare Shipping You Don't See too much and I thought this would have been good one
Aaaww, glad I'm not the only one who has thought they would look cute together! Super awesome story!
Aww this was a pretty nice story and everything so Misty was still feeling guilty for what happened about Sparky Opaline and betraying her friends even though they forgave her she still feels a little guilty so Sunny told her to go to the town to explore Maretime Bay and when she got there a familiar Pony sprout say hello to Misty which she was not expecting anybody to greet her but yet those two hang out with each other and somehow they both connected with each other especially of their past they did was pretty bad but all they can do is look on to the Future and making better for themself and it looks like they really liked each other which I think this was a very cute shipping I like the moment between them this was pretty nice story keep up the good work hopefully see something more like those two again
What an enjoyable story! Misty and Sprout do have a great deal in common being as they both made terrible mistakes and are now trying to make amends for them and be better ponies. Again great story and can't wait to see more!
Great character building in this story; really enjoyed Sprout playing the 'older and wiser' self and sharing with Misty what he had done and how Hitch, Sunny and the others had forgiven him and how long it took to forgive himself. Awesome!
This was a nice story and the 2 of them bonding over their past mistakes seems like something that could happen.
Ay look at that! Someone finally wrote a fic that pairs these two. Awesome! I've thought about this being a good ship as well. I honestly hope we get to see Misty and Sprout interact in some way in the main show, that would be great.
