"Want, not need. I don't NEED anything."
The events of the Sunset Shimmer incident are weeks in the past and everyone is doing their best to move on from it, including Sunset herself; she wants to make amends for her mistakes and forge better relationships with the people of her adopted world, but they don't make it easy. Few, if any, are willing to take a chance on her save for the friends of Princess Twilight.
Perhaps there is at least one other out there who might show her a little understanding?

I love your stories.
Okay, this was nice. Especially seeing how it this sound advice came from Scootaloo, who Sunset rarely gets any positive interaction with in fanfic all thanks to that damn comic. Major props to you for this!
This was nice. I just, rather liked reading this. Sunset and Scootaloo barely get any interaction as far as I know, so this was an enjoyable idea and a sweet little story.

Thanks!

Helps that I've never read it, and given the, shall we say, ambivalent reception toward it I probably won't either.

It's nice throwing together two characters who rarely interact and seeing what happens.
I’m surprised this isn’t featured already. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time.

Eh, missed the boat on that, I think.
Super sweet. I dig it.

Cheers, mate.
I really do love seeing Sunset interact with students she normally doesn't talk to in canon (and like everyone else here, I find it a refreshing departure from the Anon-a-Miss stories we usually see on here). I appreciate how you really highlighted the similarities between Sunset and Scootaloo, and while many authors turn the Scootaorphan trope into an insufferable cliche, it works very smoothly here as a way of bridging the gap between the two. I'm also fond of the way you carried Scootaloo's disability over into the real world.
To be honest, this is one of the few positive Sunset/CMC stories I've seen on here, and that includes a story I've written, so technically that one doesn't really count. (And might not count because it doesn't include the three OG CMC, but I will consider Babs and Gabby equal-standing Crusaders until my dying day.) Anyway, I diverge, but I'm really glad you wrote this and I hope to see more sweet content like this from you soon.

As I said in another reply, I've never read this fabled Anon-a-Miss story, though I know some of the background around it, and the resulting fallout amongst the fandom regarding it (it's almost up there with Twilight-becoming-an-alicorn as a base-breaker). I stopped reading the comics a while back and it's unlikely at this point that I'll have the chance to get back into them, so I probably won't ever do anything involving that particular storyline.
Really, I just wanted to do something involving two characters who might not have much in common but who end up becoming friends, anyway, then realising that they're not actually all that different, Yes, the Scootaloo-as-orphan trope has been overdone, but it seemed dramatically necessary, and hopefully she comes across as wistful rather than sad about her real parents. The point wasn't to have either the handicap or her orphan-status define her as a person (just as being the Demon Commander of a Teenage Zombie Army shouldn't define Sunset Shimmer).
Beautiful
Beautiful and sweet, loved it!
This was good.
