This was so fun to read! I really like it when written stuff gets into a protagonist's mind, I think writing does that better than... Almost anything else I've ever seen.
I wonder what that writing says, my assumption is "I don't want to be this kind of ___ anymore", maybe animal
And the doodles are just such a cute detail

i dont want to be this kind of animal anymore,,, sunset is goin thru it 😔

This was such a sweet fic. I adore the way Sunset and Scitwi can communicate without words... I loved it!

her friend

I'll take ‘in denial’ for 500, Alex

The beginning made me think of Unedited Footage of a Bear for some reason :)

Midnight's just standing there... MENACINGLY!

A practical joke, a one trick pony.

"Kinda specist, but I'll let it slide on account of you being cute"

"Wha! buh, wait, I didn't say that out loud..."

"I could tell, didn't even need to use the geode"

"Did my expression give it away?"

"No, but I get a funny feeling whenever someone is thinking unintentionally offensive thoughts about me"

"How... No I'm going to need specifics in the morning, it's too late... or early for this"

"Honestly it's pretty convenient, I can practically track Rainbow's location from up to a city block away"

Oh my god, that twilight art actually made me laugh out loud. I love it. Thank you for another gift Dapper :)

Carefully, she stepped over Rainbow Dash, who slept without a blanket, whose snores were stifled by a pillow above her head–

I mean, yeah - if I had a blanket that snored, I wouldn't want to sleep under either, no matter what steps it took to muffle them.

Thankfully, the theme wasn’t horror tonight, they had just watched some romcoms that seemed to make everyone laugh except Rarity, who dissected them like a love surgeon.

I like to imagine Twilight does the same thing to soft sci-fi.

Knew I saw a cool S in there. Also, I caught that Disco Elysium reference. I can only imagine what Sunset's inner council is like.

Great little midnight interlude. Thank you for it and best of luck in the judging.

PERCEPTION: [Trivial: Success] You hear shuffling in the next room. The clumsy sounds of a polite guest, desperately attempting to be silent as they approach you, intent on entering the kitchen you've used to find refuge on this cold night.

You: It's Twilight. She's awake.

EMPATHY: [Challenging: Success] She must have had another nightmare. Her steps are light, careful-- She's afraid of the dark. You can help with that.

DRAMA: [Medium: Success] She doesn't need kind words and assurance. She needs a distraction! Games, sire. Games.

COMPOSURE: [Legendary: Failure] You wish, you desperately wish you had someone to help you in the nights you had your own nightmares. That your kitchen was not empty, but instead held a friend. That the dark corners of your room weren't so dark. Twilight Sparkle has this, and you don't.

COMPOSURE: Twilight Sparkle has you.

You: I don't know if I can do this for her.

EMPATHY: You have to. If it's for another, you can do it.

SHIVERS: [Legendary: Success] In another world, in another cold night, a foal was faced with her first night at a large, strange castle, one that did not seem as inviting or as friendly in the darkness of the night. The Princess of the Sun herself would take this little foal into her own bed, and tell her stories of ages past, until she had fallen asleep.

SHIVERS: And she never felt safer.

(WOW I enjoyed myself way too much writing in this style. Maybe I should write a fic just in the disco elysium style lol.)

Oh, it's incredibly fun. The best part is when you consider what Sunset's magic lets her do, especially with the likes of Pinkie.

Raider of the Inland Empire has a nice ring to it, don't you think? :raritywink:

(Also, the fact that Sunset's shivers are still tuned to pony Canterlot is a beautiful bit of bittersweetness.)

Whatever was going on the pink girl’s head, Twilight almost felt envious. She didn’t remember Pinkie ever telling them all about a nightmare… Ever.

on in the pink girl's head,*

This nearly made Twilight scream of indignation and surprise-- She immediately had to cover her mouth to stop herself from exasperatedly awakening her friends.

I don't blame her, I'd feel the same if I was in her position. :duck:

And when she tried to sleep… It came to her easy.

I find that note very kind. And while this story felt weird without the characters talking, seeing they were in a position where talking would be impossible to do, I can understand that. Still, a great story, one that I didn't expect to enjoy. :scootangel:

This story is so unbelievably sweet and comfy. It’s the wholesome lesbian equivalent of shooting an entire tub of cake frosting into my bloodstream like it’s heroin. Don’t overthink that comparison too much.

lovely read. a quiet night but the snickers of two girls who needed each other's company. also that tic tac toe game was intense i cant believe sunset pulled an illegal move
