This story is a sequel to She's Shimmering
" When love is not madness, it is not love. "
The pain of loving someone who is close enough to taste, but never enough to touch is one they both know too well. But what they don't realize is that they share each other's torment.
Yet.
So, I can not write descriptions, but there you have it. This is a sequel to both 'She's Dazzling' and 'She's Shimmering', but I can only list one and that's the order they go in so...yeah!

Why is it that the detail about them feeding off adoration, and the chaos being merely entertainment, makes the setting SO much better? And loved the trio dynamics. The focused, the grumpy and the crazy, and SonArai as a bonus point.
One again great job ! I loved it, can't wait until. The next chapter![:twilightsmile:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/twilightsmile.png)
Omg.
Octavia x Vinyl is best ship besides Rarijack and Adagio x Sunset. Extra points for Sonata x Aria.
Shut up, it's awesome.
Cheddar and Bacon. You couldn't have made a better tasting ship.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner! Haha I just couldn't resist adding my OTP in here
5557175![:raritywink:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/raritywink.png)
And you are correct! Yes, he is a bit less...well, in the original fic, he was super nice and approving of OctaScratch. Now he's a cranky manager
5557248![:rainbowkiss:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowkiss.png)
![:heart:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/heart.png)
I agree with everything you said!!

![:heart:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/heart.png)
Yes, yes, yes - I'm glad that you like the dynamics! It's not very canon for the Dazzlings to feed off of adoration and loving energy, but I like to tie it in with anger. I guess anything negative they feed off of but all positive things directed towards them (adoration, pumped up for their concert, entranced..) they feed off of too
Either way, I'm glad you liked it so far!

Y-you created an account for...me? D'aww, you are too kind!
And yes, you're the first to point out that she's still evil. I'm sure you'll enjoy what I have in store with that little morsel, but for now you shall have to wait! Hope it'll be worth it

Yuuuuuus! Can't wait for more!
5557917
Yes...good...you are falling under the siren spell...
W-wait, wha?![:rainbowderp:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowderp.png)

Awww yeah!
5557362 So this was a great first chapter :).
Loved it.
Oh, and using Octavia's dad as the manger? good easter egg XD.

DIS GONNA BE GUD!![:pinkiecrazy:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiecrazy.png)
Congratulations on the feature!
And thank you so much for sidestepping the too-shy-to-talk cliche. Confident Adagio is best Adagio.

Damn right!

![:heart:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/heart.png)
I agree completely! I just couldn't write her Fluttershy-esque at all!
And thank you
I wasn't expecting to see this so soon. And don't be so hard on yourself... This was a great opener, especially with that cliffhanger. Daaaaaamn. I'm wondering if you're going to switch perspectives each chapter or stick to Adagio... can't wait to see what she has in mind for Sunset.![:raritywink:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/raritywink.png)

'Tis here. 'Tis finally here (not that the wait was all that long). So far, so awesome. I loved some of the little bits here and there, like Sonata having eaten her lip gloss, and what definitely appears to be Octavia dating Vinyl (one of my favorite ships). Not a lot in the story so far, but this setup... man, this setup is primed to go places. Awesome places. You have my attention—or, rather, more of it.
5562348![:raritywink:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/raritywink.png)
Well I'm glad you enjoyed what I didn't ha ha!
And I will be switching perspectives so it will be Sunset's the next chapter!![:heart:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/heart.png)
5563264![:pinkiehappy:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiehappy.png)
Gahh I can't get enough of your comments! Actual feedback and I'm super happy you're enjoying my work so far!
And yes, I'm all about the small details like that because well...life is pretty dynamic, so my stories should be as well! Also I'm a shipping fiend so I can't really help myself![:raritywink:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/raritywink.png)

Oh my God...![:pinkiegasp:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiegasp.png)
This is so beautiful.
I love everything about it and you should be proud ellie!![:twilightsmile:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/twilightsmile.png)
Not a bad chapter! I've been waiting for this for a while, I can't wait for more!![:pinkiehappy:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiehappy.png)
And it's obvious that the manager is Octavia's dad
5569555![:raritywink:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/raritywink.png)
Awesome - that makes two of us that can't wait
And hehe, yes it is pretty obvious!![:rainbowlaugh:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowlaugh.png)
![:heart:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/heart.png)
I now have a need for this story continue
Wonderful chapter can't wait to read more.
