Great story! i loved it!
More confirmation that all these stories are alternate paths that takes place in mutually exclusive alternate universes. I still think that the last story is, as we like to call it, the Golden or Harem ending.
Sunset could, in my opinion, be great for Fluttershy. Sunset would take her past experiences as a bully to learn how to protect her from other bad people while still retaining the kindness the Rainbooms had taught her, Fluttershy in particular.
Fluttershy would act as a...rein for Sunset to prevent her from going overboard, as well as offering a kind word and gesture for Sunset if and when Sunset is emotionally hurt.
Complimentary. The fact that Fluttershy choose to forgive her for her past mistakes and agree to a relationship with her makes this even more beautiful.
And if you're not happy with the above comment, here's a recipe for sachertorte.
YIELD: Makes 12 to 16 servings
INGREDIENTS:
4 1/2 ounces high-quality bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
9 tablespoons (1 stick plus 1 tablespoon) unsalted butter, at cool room temperature
1 cup confectioners' sugar
6 large eggs, separated, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour (spoon gently into cup and level top)
Assembly:
1 cup Apricot Glaze
Small Batch Chocolate Glaze
Sweetened Whipped Cream , for serving
PREPARATION:
1. To make the torte: Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 400°F. Lightly butter a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with a round of parchment or wax paper. Dust the sides of the pan with flour and tap out the excess.
2. In the top part of a double boiler over very hot, but not simmering, water, or in a microwave at medium power, melt the chocolate. Remove from the heat or the oven, and let stand, stirring often, until cool.
3. Beat the butter in the bowl of a eavy-duty standing mixer fitted with the paddle blade on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 inute. On low speed, beat in the confectioners' sugar. Return the speed to medium-high and beat until light in color and texture, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg yolks, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Beat in the chocolate and vanilla.
4. Beat the egg whites and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer on high speed just until they form soft, shiny peaks. Do not overbeat. Stir about one fourth of the beaten whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it, then fold in the remaining whites, leaving a few visible wisps of whites. Sift half of the flour over the chocolate mixture, and fold in with a large balloon whisk or rubber spatula. Repeat with the remaining flour.
5. Spread evenly in the pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. (The cake will dome in the center.) Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove the sides of the pan, and invert the cake onto the rack. Remove the paper and reinvert on another rack to turn right side up. Cool completely.
6. To assemble: Using a long serrated knife, trim the top of the cake to make it level. Cut the cake horizontally into two equal layers. Place one cake layer on an 8-inch cardboard round. Brush the top of the cake layer with the apricot glaze. Place the second cake layer on top and brush again. Brush the top and sides of the cake with the remaining glaze. Transfer the cake to a wire rack placed over a jelly-roll pan lined with waxed paper. Let cool until the glaze is set.
7. Make the chocolate glaze (it must be freshly made and warm). Pour all of the warm chocolate glaze on top of the cake. Using a metal offset spatula, gently smooth the glaze over the cake, allowing it to run down the sides, being sure that the glaze completely coats the cake (patch any bare spots with the spatula and the icing that has dripped). Cool until the glaze is barely set, then transfer the cake to a serving plate. Refrigerate until the glaze is completely set, at least 1 hour. Remove the cake from the refrigerator about 1 hour before serving.
8. To serve, slice with a sharp knife dipped into hot water. Serve with a large dollop of whipped cream on the side.
i hate "grren isnt your color" this episode says that you should always share your secrets with your friends, but in fluttershy's case, why bother remembering it
7588502 Ummm no, no it doesn't. It says don't keep secrets just for the sake of keeping them when you know it' something that affects them by not knowing. And also, just be honest with them.
Well that one was just a barrel full of daww! I love how the different girls bring out different parts of Sunset's personality! It's adorable that Fluttershy's timidity and delicacy brings out both Sunsets's protective side but also her more insecure side.
Loved it! Can't wait for tomorrow's fic!
7588510 the episode simply makes no sense, why the fuck was the element of kindness Futtershy doing in the shallow AF fashion industry, why is fashion an industry in the first place
7588544 .... because defineing them only by their element is asinine so that first question makes no damn sense and is utterly invalid. Second one, Because it does, just because ponies don't were clothing for modesty, it's established they still do wear it for fashion.
Aww, this was cute! Keep up the good work.
Is this something Rarity suspects from firsthand experience?
(Crud, forgot she (thought she) was straight. Maybe it just came up during spa visits.)
Once again, pretty sweet, and basically the appropriate pace for dealing with Fluttershy. Oddly refreshing to know that Sunset isn't going to go ahead and screw all of her friends at the first nudge.
Aww, the SunShy shippings are always the cutest, no wonder it's very popular.
So here goes the fifth, it was tame, but it suits since it represent well Fluttershy and how Sunset must struggle to interact with her more carefully than the others while also giving her the push she needs to get more affirmative.
So next one is... Sci-Twi right? last one before the big finally.
Found a couple mistake:
raison d'être
very good story loved it was sweet and teeth rottingly daw thoe it was odd for sunset to mention a cutie mark to human fluttershy
I'm enjoying this series of one shots but I have to say that some of them have felt a bit forced. Specifically Rainbow and Pinkies entries, I guess I just feel that Rarity, Applejack and Flutershys seem a lot more genuine to me, not sure why.
Okay I guessed right at the start that the Fluttershy story was going to end up being my favorite. So far I'm not wrong.
What works well about this one-shot even compared to the others (which are all solid) is that the chemistry between Sunset and Fluttershy feels incredibly natural. Not that it didn't elsewhere, but there's something about the cadence of conversations that just feels 'real' - I think it's the way Fluttershy deflects and protests and Sunset's constantly not sure if she's pushing too hard, and tends to volunteer information she's been holding back for quite some time. All of those are actual conversation beats I've had with actual friends. I stand by the fact that the yes at the end could've been more enthusiastic (both here and in the Pinkie story), but this was great.
I especially love that the major conflict here isn't even will-they-get-together. It's will-they-spill-their-secrets. It's obvious that Fluttershy feels uncomfortable about modeling though she won't say why, and it's obvious Sunset really wants to apologize for what she did before. The net result is that I'm pretty invested in the relationship by the end in spite of the fact that it wasn't even the major source of conflict.
Also Sunset's response to peanut butter was a joy.
I once heard that peanut butter is really unhealthy for horses...
At this point, I suspect the seventh story will carry over directly from the sixth, wherein Sunset and Twilight manage to accidentally reunite the divergent timelines and hilarity ensues. Or something.
In any case, a lovely story. Wonderful characterization, good subtle foreshadowing, and lovely warm fuzziness. Thank you for it.
7588489 I wondered why this comment was so long but a recipe I did not expect.
7588489
And here I was thinking that this all happened in the same instance.
7588544 Wow, that is really stereotypical of you. So, if anyone is in the fashion industry they have to be shallow? That is immature thinking.
Let's get this part out of the way first (are you getting sick of my ugly mug yet?
)
s6.postimg.org/5pzpmopep/Pirate_Approved2.jpg
I've gotta say I expected Rarity's story to be my favorite of this series (even before you started posting them), and up until now that held true. There's an even, fluid flow from one moment to the next in this story that the previous ones didn't quite have, and the fact that this time it's Sunset who has feelings for Fluttershy as opposed to the other way around makes the tale that much more engaging. Fluttershy's insecurities about what to do with her future integrate with her canon personality well and made her 'breakdown moment' feel even more fitting.
7588744
I was thinking about that the other day too... I wonder if we aren't just jumping to conclusions. Maybe all the references are really just a running meta-joke, and Oroboro's 9/25 story is something along the lines of Sunset x Human Sunset... or perhaps something even more controversial,
The real selling point of this story is that I think you get Fluttershy precisely right - her gentle nature, her timidity but also her pure and strong heart. You get her without making her a stereotype and that is a nice touch.
Soooooooooo...... What's the ????
Is it Princess Twilight? That's the only one I can think of......
Pretty well delivered on a surprisingly rare pair.
7588791
I agree. Model's are people too, and a lot more work goes into it than you think, and actually being a model is quite brave in itself, because their lifestyles are a lot more restrictive, like only being allowed certain kinda foods and having to have to have their hair a certain colour. And they also have to put up with people calling them talentless and useless on the internet
~E.B~
And now i have type 4 diabeteus
Has anyone ever done an AU where Fluttershy stayed a model?
7589183
What about an AU where the modeling agency was just a front for a secret spy operation, and they needed Fluttershy in particular to be awkward in order to maintain cover?
7589235 ...
Feel like at that point we're overcomplicating matters.
This one is my favorite so far! If I may pose a guess to the mystery chapters. I think itll be sunset x sunset, sunset x flash, or sunset x princess twi.
7589102
just diabetes?? you got off easy... I think my pancreas just straight up asploded from the adorableness
7588544
I have to disagree - modeling can be incredibly challenging and physically demanding (especially sports modeling, for example). It isnt quite as simple as show some skin, smile, and have the flash go off
Yay, my second favorite Sunset shipping!
Ah, so human Fluttershy had a brief modelling phase too (and threats aside, was eager to get out of it), but with her post-high school plans not looking so good, even modelling is starting to look like a good fallback plan.
Nice to see how close Sunset and Fluttershy are in this fic, though a lot of it is Sunset trying to make up for the past, since out of all of them Sunset probably bullied Fluttershy the most (being the easiest target). Wish we could have seen more of them as a couple, but it is Fluttershy, so it probably is better for Sunset to take it slow with her. Been loving all your fics this week, I'm sad that's the week is almost over, looking forward to the last two (and curious what the last one will be about).
In all the previous Sunset x Mane Six there has been basically the same formula. A girl askes Sunset for help with something, they share some time alone, the girl turns out to have a crush on Sunset, Sunset decides to give it a try.
This time it turned out that Sunset was the one that offered her help and the one having a crush. I really liked this.
Sunshyne is love, Sunshyne is life!
If no one else has mentioned it yet, the cover looks like Fluttershy's hair is tucked into Sunset's pants, right over her crotch.
Oh my lord I never even really CONSIDERED this ship before but that was SO FUCKING CUTE I SQUEELED
the chaste little cheek kiss at the end was so adorable I fucking love it
You can keep the shipping, but I loved the story concept, and the execution was very good!
This is your in, Sunset. Those words are basically the same as DTF in this series
But seriously this was beautiful. I loved the extension of Green Isn't Your Color, and the interaction was great too! And I'm glad they kept things to a peck. Different strokes for different folks, and all that.
What does it take to get into veterinary school?
Well, there's always the old saw: what do you call a vet that couldn't cut it? Doctor.
It's an old joke that isn't really a joke. Veterinary school is apparently a lot harder than medical school.
I love how you portray Sunset in this. <3 More reasons why she's my favorite character.
I'm calling it right now, the last story in the series, merge ALL the universes! VOTE SUNSET HAREM 2016!!!
Whoa Fluttershy slow down there. Cheek-kissing is pretty lewd stuff, you're not that deep into your relationship yet.
Ugh. Just take your fav and get off the front page already. Jeeze.
I now have this mental image of Fluttershy applying for her next school, getting rejected, Sunset utterly destroying the application reviewers lives and making sure the next school Fluttershy applies to gets a hint of what happened. Sunset makes it a point to be there when Fluttershy's application arrives there, just .... looking at them. Grinning. Like a hungry shark.
WELCOME TO VETERINARY SCHOOL, FLUTTERSHY :D
Man, on number 5, and you portray every one of these characters so perfectly. So many romances stretch everyone way out of character just to force the ship, but every one of these characters has felt completely natural. And you're actually building up the ship in a way that it feels natural too - none of that "why are they even together?" crap, all the characters are acting and responding to each other in ways that make sense. Bravo!
Fluttershy is so cuuuute...which makes it hard not to ship her with everybody.
Awwww.
No typos found here!

Man, I am loving these Sunset shipping one shots you've written. Somehow I managed to miss this one a while back-put it in my read later folder and then just forgot about it, but I am glad I came back to this. The chemistry between the Sunset and Fluttershy feels so genuine and a bit adorable, but the conflict on Sunset's end with her past is so real.
Overall, I am certainly glad I came back to this, and thanks for writing it. I wish there were more fics of this quality and frankly heartwarming out there.
...okay, i need to punish myself for not getting to these so fast. *turns and screams incoherently at nothing*
because the Sunpie one was wonderful, but this-
was in a perfect mirror to my emotions at the time. very nice work in of Green is not your color, some Beautiful Sunshy that I not only love the pairing of but once again, felt right. Well, natural may be the better word here, eh? heck, in a sense this reminds me of a friend of mine and some of their interactions i see. everything, even the ending felt fitting.
