:star: Why didn’t it work out with TwiBurst?
Twilight and Sunburst grew close after their shared antiquing occurrence when Starlight first brought him to Ponyville. They quickly became penpals and grew close over the years. When she became Equestria’s head princess, and had significantly less time to see her friends, Twilight grew lonesome and found herself reaching out to Sunburst more and more even though he too lived far away. Despite their better judgement, they were eventually honest about their feelings and he began to visit as often as possible, however he was unable to move being that he has committed to being Flurry Hearts magical advisor. Nonetheless, they tried to make it work. After all, they were so busy that even if they lived in the same place, they’d probably see just as little of each other–– at least that’s what they told themselves. Twilight eventually found out that she was pregnant which further complicated things. Both of them wanted the baby, but were hopelessly uncertain on what to do about raising one together. Closer to the due date, Cadence and Shining Armor gave Sunburst leave for several months so that he and Twilight could decide on some things. They were overjoyed with the birth of their son Apollo and felt closer than ever for a time. But as the first months passed, a rift became noticeable between them. They knew that things could not remain this way. With heavy hearts, they elected to share custody long distance. Twilight kept their son in Canterlot with her, while Sunburst continued to visit whenever possible. Disappointed by the complication this caused and the unfulfilled yearning it lead to between them, they finally agree to separate. It was just too hard. Once Apollo was older, he begins spending each summer with his father.
Offspring: Twilight and Sunburst
:star: How Sunburst and Moon Dancer met: They knew each other through Twilight since both of them were invited to anything hosted at the castle. She eventually moved out to the Crystal Empire in order to study the magical texts there and possibly obtain a teaching position. Years as a recluse gave her a yearning to start fresh. It wasn’t until a long time later, well after the separation with Twilight, that they ran into each other which sparked a lot of excitement. Despite coming out of her shell and starting new in a different location, Moon Dancer still struggled to make friends, so meeting someone she knew previously was a real comfort. They discussed a lot about the magic history of the Crystal Empire, him giving her permission to access the royal archives whenever needed, and things progressed from there.
Their Relationship: A little unconventional, but it works for them. They’re both awkward and not good at interacting in groups, but they relax around each other and open up in their own ways. They give each other a lot of space being that they have their own hobbies, work, and obsessions at any given time, but they make time for each other and even though they seem a little cold from an outside perspective, it couldn’t be further from the truth.
Offspring: Sunburst and Moon Dancer (both grow up to wear glasses)…
