Sunset Shimmer is happy and fullfilled. Her life is perfectly normal and okay. She is a human, dating another human, Twilight Sparkle, with plenty of human friends.
But sometimes she wonders of Equestria, a world that spat her out.
But sometimes she wonders of Equestria, a world that didn't need her.
But what if it did?
What if Equestria needed her, permanently? What if her wildest abandoned dreams could come true? What if she had to choose between abandoning the human world, or abandoning Equestria for good?
What if she had to choose between two Twilights?
SHES BACK IN THE FUCKING BUILDING-

SUNSET'S NEW GROOVE
sunset catharsis for dinner AGAIN bonnie? (i am eating so fucking good thank you for this delicious meal as always)
11899476
A tasty mix of catharsys and PAIN just like we like it o7
Oh lordy. the exquisite pain. Have a like and a follow.
screaming and kicking and biting at this fic!!!
I was actually expecting Sunset not to make it to college.
I am...concerned.
Sooo...yeah, super dick move Twilight and Celestia. What the fuck?
Oh my gosh this fanfic has me on the edge of my seat. I love it
I was hoping having so many alicorns would help them make some time for vacation but no Celestia and Luna just disappear on Twilight and everything crumbles.
Truly, this is a fucked situation for Sunset. Very interesting premise, can’t wait to see it explored! Twi is tweaking tho, what did she think was going to happen?
P.s. Who invited my mare blud 😂😂😂
Blud thinks she's on the team 💀💀💀
11899438
She turns into a quadraped as well... HOLY CINEMATIC PARALLELS
Me, a shameless TwiTempest shipper: "There is another"
But in all seriousness, This is such a great premise, and it definitely looks to be satisfactory for my unhealthy drama-and-high-consequence-breakup addiction.
Also if that author's note is implying what i think it's implying, then I hope there is some future comeuppance for a certain fire alicorn up ahead.
Drama tag... hehehehohoho.media.tenor.com/gCcqbYEvHowAAAAM/grinch-smile-grin.gif
It's a big question mark, what that girl could be.
Why not go further than that?
Oh! I uhh.. wow, Pinkie..
I'm so glad she took the joke well (unlike how I would've) .
Will DEFINETLY start calling the incident "The Great Parakeet Loss of Equestria Land" .
Called me lonely in so many ways.
THE SECONDHAND EMBARRASSMENT-
Until she does.
Let the girl speak, Sunset .
Uh, Twi? Do your friends ship you with Sunny or something?
I think don't Rainbow knows where leather comes from..
Oop! I can see it now~
I can't tell if Sunset's being a tad too dense or I'm just used to being delusional in these types of situations if it were me.
Gee, I could only imagine how infuriating that would be. (ofc I'm being sarcastic)
So she can read emotions and yet, she still can't see what's in plain sight? Oh boy..
I wouldn't be so sure about that, Sun.
Classic adorkable Twi
Holy hell, even though I knew it was coming it pulled at my heartstrings no less. I don't even know who's side I'm on.. but I do know I'd really, REALLY, like SciSet to live on.
well have YOU tried using friendship lazers on global warming? cant make it worse sunset
also GOT DAMN SOMEONE HELP HER!!!!!!!
11902332
I dunno, It might create chem trails that turn all the frogs gay.
Ah, the pull between worlds. It's not an easy decision by any stretch of the imagination... even if there are more persuasive arguments for one option than the other. Still, not considering the ties that may bind Sunset to her current world was a massive faux pas. Looking forward to seeing how external perspectives help shape the decision.
11904460
Thank you!! And you're in luck, newest chapter is out now! =v=
sunset is gonna have grey hairs at this rate also FUCK PINKIE WHYYY
Honestly, Rarity and Fluttershy seem far more worried about SciTwi than Sunset here. I get it, but that is a bad look.
Pinky, AJ and shockingly Rainbow get it.
The problem here is Sunset wants it all, and.I cannot blame her. But that is impossible.
Twi, is going to be the big one
But if she really loves Susnet she will.let her go. Hell logically she should. Because if she is what keeps Susnet here sooner or later Susnet is going to come to recent her. Best to let her go, see that what she wants might not be what she needs... or not.
Best possible option is to get Susnet her wings, then send her back. Twi only had 60-80 years or so left, Twi and Celestia have forever, they can wait a bit, right?
You are a monster!!!!!!
Pleas keep doing what you are doing it’s great.
This is going to hurt terribly, but the longer Sunset puts it off, the worse it will be. I can only hope their other friends will be there for human Twilight, because she’s going to need one heck of a support structure for this.
You have me dreading and anticipating the next chapter in equal measure.
Sonic heroes
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO TWIST THE KNIFE LIKE THAT OUGH,,,,
The exquisite pain! Oh how it hurts so good. Just like sticking your bits in the pain induction machine the Bene Gesserit use when administering the Gom Jabbar Test.
What? Don't Judge Me.
I knew you were a monster!!!
It was beautiful,
A lot of times while reading I had to pause and I remember how I felt when someone broke my heart how I can understand part of the pain you where describing cause I felt it before. It was kind of cathartic
Thanks a lot for this.
Dang, this chapter really hammered the feels home.
This whole thing was sad, but I laughed a little with this description of Sunset
Brilliant presentation of just how much this decision is shredding both Sunset and Twilight's hearts. (Also good to know that Twilight wanted to go to CCC even without Sunset; at least that's one less bit of selfishness for Sunset to beat herself up over.)
And yeah, this shouldn't have ended without the Twilights having a heart-to-heart. Arguably Celestia should get dragged in for this talk, but she's far better equipped for the rhetorical confrontation than either instance of Purplesmart. Definitely looking forward to seeing how the two of them resolve this. Brilliant as they are, they may well create a mutually satisfactory solution that no one else could have seen.
Or human Twilight may just punch her counterpart in the face. Forgiveness through catharsis is always an option. Looking forward to finding out.
I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING
Yeah, figured it'd either be this or they'd go find the original human Sunset... she has to be out there somewhere right? Either way, good ending great story <3
YIPPPE!!! so ends sunset shimmers no good, very bad day :]
"So Sunset, how do you feel about splitting yourself up for us?"
"Eh, I should be fine between the two of you, so long as there isn't any other Twilights I need to know about"
-steps through the portal, Where Future twilight in commando getup, imposter twilight from chrysalis' spell, and Moondancer are waiting
"..."
"..."
"...on second thought, We maaaay need to hit up that clone pool you once wrote about"
11913818
Don't forget Midnight lol.
Sunset is literally like: Jackpot >:3
11913898
To be fair: she does KNOW Midnight already.
That's in weird "darker personality aspect" territory, but a the same time... yeah. if it came down to it Sunset would totally accept her in a sort of "when I said yes I was talking to all of you, not just the half I know best"
11913898
Also: we both forgot the Tree of Harmony's projection, If I'm throwing in Moondancer they should also fit.
WARNING: Rambling hypothetical headcannon for an all-twilight harem dedicated to their mutual bacon horse.
I could Imagine something like:
"Harmony I come to bargain"
"...I will not bargain for a threat to my very nature Sunset"
"Threat shmet, I don't care If she's one of Chrysalis' logs or a mirror pool clone" "she had the ability to defy her master, which means she was as much a creature as anyone else!"
"Playing too loosely with what constitutes as life-"
"I don't CARE, If I'm willing to give her a chance then what does that say about the living REPRESENTATION of all things coexisting?"
".. If that is what you wish, then very well, but on two conditions"
"Name them"
"First, tell me why this pertains to you"
"Well, when Chrysalis got put on parole with the rest of the trio, and confessed her crimes in return for a safe haven back in the hive, it felt wrong to know somecreature so similar to Twilight could be cast aside so readily. I don't need to be the one to give her a chance, but she should at least have one! and so should her sisters, all six didn't deserve that!"
"She was anything BUT similar"
"Maybe in some ways, but in others she was the same: a planner, leader, and determined to do what she thought was right for her, even if it was selfish"
"... very well, it matters not if your reasons may be biased, you did tell me your motive, now for the second condition"
"And that is?"
"You speak to me of co-existance, then prove to me I am wrong, allow me to partake in your idea of co-existance, by proxy of my avatar"
"..."
"What, are my terms unclear?"
"uh... no.. but, Are you asking to live with me and the Twis?"
"I have no Idea what you are implying, and deny any form of jealousy that you would spend time with that thing before me"
"Because.. if you were, you can just ask, like they all need to agree with it, but I'm pretty sure everytwi would be over the moon just to have a chance talk with you about friendship and the science of harmony magic.
"..."
"..."
"... can... canipleasestaywithyourharem?'
"Snrk, we can certainly bring it up, but first, you need to hold up your end of the bargain"
"Must I?"
"Now now, following through on a promise is both the loyal and honest thing to do, isn't it?"
"If I could sigh, this would be where I would do so, I will do this, but the ramifications are yours to bear"
"Bring it on, I've faced the potential end of two universes and I'm willing to take responsibility for a lot more than this"
.
.
-One magic light show later
"Sweet bucking tartarus! What the bucking hay! you killed me you pile of horesapples!"
"The deed is done, but if this isn't to your liking I can always undo my magic"
"Oh HAY NO!! I don't know why you decided to do that but I'm leaving right bucking no- hold up who's the hottie?"
"How DARE you refer to-"
"-Name's Sunset, pleased to meet you too. And I think were all going to get along just fine"
11913959
I actually did once talk to my friends of how funny it would be if sunset made it her mission to bag every Twilight version and the spirit of the tree of harmony was ABSOLUTELY in there lmao
There will be a cameo from this universe in your other story. I would like to see Sunset's face when she sees that she has two twilights.
11914908
Unfortunately, unlikely, but it would be an absolute delight to her, lmao. She would cheer
11914913
Will there be more about how the relationship is going?
11914951
Nope! This fic is over, this is how I end it, with a bit of an open ending!
Enjoyed the sappy sunset stuff quite a lot. Always nice to have her get wins.
Did note a few typos but the only one stuck in my mind atm is “beckon call” which should be “beck and call”.
A truly beautiful best-case scenario... though one Twilight being significantly more mortal than the other may hurt in the long run. Still, that's a problem far in the future, and if anyone will be able to devise some manner of immortality on par with alicorn ascension, it's a Twilight Sparkle, especially when more time with Sunset is on the line.
In all, a fantastic demonstration of the importance of communication in a relationship. Thank you for it.
