As a thank you, and upon seeing the potential in her, Twilight Sparkle has invited Sunset Shimmer to be a part of her team. Sunset has absolutely no idea what she's doing and she does not feel like she belongs; Whether if its from her regrets of trying to pursue power desperately and being corrupted by it, or her immense failure as Celestia's first pupil, or even her general inexperience with friendship, Sunset Shimmer has been humbled into nothingness, and has to rebuild her life from scratch.
And most complicated of all, Sunset Shimmer is now in love with Twilight Sparkle, the girl that changed her life for the better, and saved her from herself. She will keep these feelings extremely close to the chest; but her heart is on her sleeve now.
Can Sunset Shimmer improve? Can she be worthy and deserving of the friends that were imposed upon her? Could she possibly ever deserve to be side by side with a princess? Can she earn Twilight Sparkle's love?
Can she belong? Or is all of this temporary... And eventually she will have to move on, to anywhere more fitting of her insignificance? Are things destined to go wrong around her?
Will Midnight Sparkle return?
I died with Celestia embarasing Sunset
help me!
Genuinely one of the most fun depictions of Sunset and Twilight I've ever seen. This is a great read.
OH????? I SAW THIS ON TUMBLR. I DIDN'T KNOW YOU MADE IT A FIC!!!!
IF YOU DO NOT WRITE MORE OF THIS I WILL DIE (THIS IS A THREAT) /J
I love this idea very much. Keep up the good work.
Yeah. You do need to say more.
Because it seems completely irrelevant. I mean, it wouldn't be the first time Sunset tried to incinerate an alicorn princess - hey, it wouldn't even be the second time!
YOOOOOO, THIS FIC WAS SO GOOOOOD!!!
midnight sparkle like: why is sunset with that wimp twilight? she should be with a real mare, like me
also this being inspired by a dream just reminds me of also having sunset shimmer dreams TWICE ( both were mostly about her relationship with celestia and one also had multiversal nonsense in that i think sunset was mad at an evil and fucked up celestia saying she's nothing like her mentor) her power
The regular MLP universe Sunset idea is very interesting and i've never seen it before. The other half though:"And also what if it was really gay" has been answered many a times and will likley be answered a many more. Even so I can't wait to see your answer.
“Y’know if you ever wanna be hooked up with someone, Rarity’s a pretty good match maker just sayi—”
And then she woke up.
Sunset:I'll take that as a no then.

Oh yeah, i'm absolutely doing an pretty diffrent take on it. there is no EG universe, but i'm absolutely writing more sunset shimmer centric stories on this canon! And absolutely will be very gay
Thanks for reading!!
Finally we got what we bargained for
For a moment i thought Sunset was actually going to accept the deal. Looks like the friendship lessons had been working after all.
"Dear Sunset Shimmer,
I too would love to hang out again once more, and I'm glad that we can learn to mend our mistkaes. I do not know what you are the princess of yet, but I do believe that the princess of punk rock isn't taken so that might be a chance. You have my blessing, and I think that maybe you could set Luna up next? Or maybe Discord. Though he's good friends with Fluttershy, he's more into stallions.
Love, Your Former Teacher
and Forever ParentMomPrincess Celestia."Found the story through your art, and while some of the world-building choices were curious—more the way you jammed the worlds together than any individual characterization choices—overall this was a very fun hyperactive romp through a long dark night of the soul. Thank you for a most engaging read.

My absolute pleasure! It was indeed a mish mash, heheh. Glad you liked it 💖💖
Cute story. I loved the buildup to Twilight and Sunset's relationship. I was a bit worried about the Midnight Sparkle stuff but I think you justified it well. She was tired and overworked on top of everything else so it makes sense she would have trouble resisting.
I was confused about how Sunset would actually beat her in a fight so her just winning by kissing her made me laugh. Starlight is conspicuously absent but I can hardly blame you given she's overpowered to such a degree it just makes me roll my eyes. Only real complaint is Sunset becoming an Alicorn since it's a bit of a cliche at this point. That's more of a personal preference though.

Thank you very much for enjoying the read!
In all honesty, Starlight was absent because of her lack of adition to the themes, any scene i wrote with her felt forced, if i put her in any story i would have nerfed her big time; I was never fond of her overpoweredness either. (Queue her cameo in the princess and the peasant lmao.)
Spoiler for this story:
And the Alicorn thing is here particularly 'cause I plan on writing a sequel where these two are inheriting the night and day, and honestly, I think she earned it, heh. I essentially plan to write more stories with this canon, and I wanted Sunset to be at her peak for it! And everyone else, for that matter.
Either way, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for readin =v=

I wasn't saying she hasn't earned it just feels like every Sunset story ends that way lol. I mean Twilight's Ascension was just completing some spell. I've always felt doing it during the Tirek fight would have made much more sense.
Okay, got around to this. So far, its cute and I like where this is going.
A couple of things to help out. When you refer to an individual with a generic description, in this case "The Unicorn" it does not need capitalization. It is simply Sunset the unicorn unless it is a title not a description.
On to the next chapter!
Okay, so a number of things. First, perhaps cookie dough instead of clay? The idea of eating clay, even Pinkie's edible clay seems odd. Secondly. I want you to read through this again and see the grammatical errors with upper and lower case.
Also, did Sunset say she had a phone? I like this concept it just needs a little polish.
Formatting wise, this could have been two chapters. Cadence and Shining broke up? Given that and her striking behavior I would have bet coin that had been Chrysalis. Again, a few spelling errors that a second read through would fix. Still good.
