I would like to comment, once more, on your fantastic expansion on Sunset's fall. While the canon was, serviceable, you've done a great job at giving Sunset a lot more personality.



Sunset, from several pics of her past, desperately wanted someone to choose her at the orphanage, not helped that the other kids picked on her. And then, one day, Princess. Friggin. Celestia. Chooses her. Imagine, if you will, Superman, adopted you. Best day, ever. Of all time.



So naturally, she'd be eager to please her. But then, the fear comes back. The same fear she's always had. A fear present since Starlight disappeared, "What if she leaves me too?" No. It can't happen. It won't happen! So you train, you study. You make sure you never give her a reason to leave you. And to Tartarus with everyone else. Celestia might say they want to be friends, but you KNOW the truth. They're trying to make you look bad, just like the kids at the orphanage did, well not this time! I'll be the best student ever!



...But then, why doesn't she see it? Can't she see how much I love her? Everything I'm sacrificing for her? For us? Why is she holding me back from proving myself? I am ready. I'll do anything to keep us together. I just...I just want you to love me.



And then, it happens. She says you've gone too far, or you're not cooperating with the others. She did it. She chose someone else over you. Again. Just like everyone else.



And then, all you can feel, aside from the tears and your heart breaking, is a burning, primal unholy RAGE that courses through your veins and boils in your blood as you just can't take how unfair this all is anymore!



Sunset didn't want the power, she wanted Celestia. But her fear clouded her from realising she already had her. It's all the more tragic that she finally got what she wanted, only to lose it all to doubt.



On the flipside, I'm very curious to see Cesltia and Sunny reunite in JG. Particularly, after her ordeal in Sunset's Hero. Because, I want you to imagine this. Cesletia, when she mentored Sunset, already lost Luna. And for the first time in nearly a thousand years, she had someone she could be close to again. She loved the little foal with all her heart. And then she lost her, just like she lost Luna, because she loved her too much to see what doubt and jealously was doing to her. And she's run away. Your little girl is scared, alone and thinks you hate her. (Poor Tia.)



But now, she's back. Granted with some "odd" company, but she's finally back. Celestia doesn't care about what happened in the past, she just wants to let her know it's okay. That is was all a misunderstanding and she can come back. She doesn't need to hate herself anymore.



And her first meeting. Her first time seeing that little foal she loved so much again, is scarred, beaten and in a hospital bed. Her little Sunny, is in so much pain. Pain she should NEVER have been in. And worse. The feckless, scum-sucking vermin that did this, did it because of your "skirmish" with Sunset.



They hurt her precious girl, in HER name.



There are...no words...for the sheer level of extremely, Earth-shatteringly, unreasonably f**k-ass mad we're talking about here. Even ADAGIO isn't going to be this pi**ed off, because at the very last, the scum didn't hurt Sunset in her name. (Someone's getting turned to statues AS A START of their punishment.)



Hopefully, given that you and Liz have a predilection for happy endings, mentor and student can finally reunite and forgive each other after so much pain has been shared. Again, canon did a good job, but you guys really know how to put some meat on this story.
