It's late at night, but let's do this like a reliable bicycle would.

I used to live here in Canterlot Castle before I came to your world, which was six years ago and twenty years ago at the same time somehow, so a lot’s changed.

Oof. Time dilation. One of the most painful EqG mirror mechanical explanations in my opinion. Gives me Doctor Who weeping angel vibes of displacement and loss of time.

I’m still holding the blanket we slept on around me, and it’s like I can still feel your warmth even though I know the last trace of your body heat is gone by now and all that’s left is mine.

Good 'ol Bike. Hitting me right in the feels with desiring the simple pleasure of a loving touch.

Me too. Ugh, it’s so lame that we have to write out little words to sound like ourselves.

Like that ugh that I wrote just now.

Yeah, haha.

Oh wow, I can still hear your laugh.

Really?

Yeah, it’s like you’re right here next to me.

Good.

Being so far removed from my family and friends back in Texas, I definitely feel this.

You’re doing it again.

Doing what?

Being on my side even when I’m not.

It’s important to me that someone is.

Not exactly healthy, but both endearing and real. I've been in Sunset's shoes more times than I've liked.

I couldn’t have asked for a better last thing ever to do with my Empathy magic.

I let all of your memories of us flow through me, so I could live through every moment we’ve shared together, feel all the love you’ve ever had for me in all its worshipful intensity one last time.

I didn't like when EqG gave the 7 super powers. Felt very MARVEL and unnecessary. That being said, it's well utilized here.

It’s not just this. Not just leaving this spot where I felt your touch for the last time ever.

After I do that, I have to go back to our apartment.

How could I ever change the very last sheets you ever slept in?

How could I ever wash them? Or your clothes?

Wally. Please wash my clothes and your bedsheets.

This made me chuckle. A solid, endearing behavior.

Wow. I guess I’m just really lucky.

As lucky as One can be in Bike

And this is what all of the happy moments in my life, every single one for however many years we have left, that’s how all of them are going to feel like from now on, aren’t they?

How am I ever going to get through it?

One day at a time, Wally.

We’ll take it one day at a time.

Those are words to live by. Happiness isn't a goal, it is the byproduct of taking care of yourself.

Learn to love yourself and practice it every day. You will always be your best cheerleader. You just have to willing to learn how to love yourself.


A strong fic for sure. Thank you for sharing it. I would say more but it's way past my bed time and I fell asleep a couple of times writing this last minute. Good work.

P.S. Strategic F bomb is strategic.

aww thank you so much for this Rego! i love it!

Not exactly healthy, but both endearing and real. I've been in Sunset's shoes more times than I've liked.

yes! i do not mean for this to give 100% healthy forever, but pretty healthy considering their ages and both of them being redeemed magical supervillains. augh i love them

I didn't like when EqG gave the 7 super powers. Felt very MARVEL and unnecessary. That being said, it's well utilized here.

ah yeah the geodes feel really integral to EqG to me as someone who watched it all in one go, but they are definitely a distinct development years into the series that does change the vibe of the world.

This made me chuckle. A solid, endearing behavior.

yay i am glad!

As lucky as One can be in Bike

aww not all of my stories are like this! but yes, in this kind of story, that is indeed

Those are words to live by. Happiness isn't a goal, it is the byproduct of taking care of yourself.

Learn to love yourself and practice it every day. You will always be your best cheerleader. You just have to willing to learn how to love yourself.

and yes exactly! Sunset wants Wallflower to be that voice for herself, and is very glad to be that for her when Wallflower can't.

P.S. Strategic F bomb is strategic.

hehe, before these previous two fics i literally never had anyone use the fuckword but somehow it felt very difficult to get around having to use it here.

Great stuff! I decided to read the prequel after finishing this, and this story indeed works well independent of that. You did well bringing in all the information you'd need, and this is probably biased from the order I read them, I feel like this story even works better as a standalone rather than a sequel. It was interesting figuring out exactly what was going on with the hints in their conversation. Sunset and Wallflower's romance was sweet, and I hope they can figure things out.

thank you, i'm really glad to hear it works independently of the prequel! and it is funny writing this years after Long-Distance since i feel like my writing and characterization have evolved since then, so i fear continuing onto it will be jarring

Oh, I didn't notice Long-Distance to the side there lol.
