Love is a verb, not a noun.
“Please look after my children.”
Pear Butter’s last words were spoken to the stranger who found their crash: the cruel, otherworldly siren named Adagio Dazzle, who sees in her death a golden opportunity.
What starts as a plan to raise willing minions for sustenance and protection goes… a little differently than Adagio had in mind.

I like the premise. I'm interested to see how this goes.
Uh oh... eventually, an Apple's innate deception senses will tingle somethin' fierce!
Regardless, Adagio just saved a family, even if it was for ulterior motives.
Seems interesting. And in a good way.
Less than 2kw in, and already this is SO GOOD!
I love the ways you show us how Adagio's siren powers feel to Adagio herself, how Adagio thinks about the world of humanity, how she schemes and 'operates' to get what she needs...and what the downsides are for her.
Her reactions to a tragic automobile accident and two deaths, practical and cold (yet VERY capable)...so different from nearly any normal human (at least, from most humans who aren't very close to sociopathy.)
How she lays the groundwork for the budding 'auntie' relationship; how she thinks and feels about that, as opposed to the Apples' takes.
So good I almost forgot to pop a 'like' on it.

Yeah, I'm hooked!
Fantastically written, Rune.
Adagioʼs cold, man. That was to be expected, of course, but still. Hot damn.
Intrigued to see where this goes.
And it was an absolute pleasure to assist you with your cover art.
Oh, this is going to be interesting.
You have my attention.
You also have my attention
Very interesting so far. Would start reading a story with this or similar premise even if it would be written with much lower skill, certainly a must read in this case.
No doubt that it's gonna be a good story (given that it would be written), though I can only hope it would one suitable for me as well.
Just three
Never seen this idea before. Let's find out where it goes.
I really like this paragraph, coupling both a nice look at the lore with excellent use of language, weaving the whimsical, the poetic and the coldly scientific into a nice balance.

I find this statement to be curious. Is Adagio’s reaction truly that unordinary? Sure, a family dying is terrible, but logically, it has no effect on Adagio as a person, and it’s not like she knows them. Why would she show any reaction, or feel any sympathy? It’s the equivalent of hearing about a tragedy over the news, across a country. It is an understandably poor situation for the victim to be in, but logically has nothing to do with you.
I feel like this is a completely human reaction, and that possibly, the majority of people would have a similar reaction to a situation like this. You could even argue that it's Adagio's way of coping, as she was distressed by the gore that she witnessed.
It is not strange or deviant to possess low amounts of empathy, and it definitely should not be equated with a serious mental disorder. Not everyone is a super feeler or even a feeler to begin with, and I think that's ok. Choosing to think logically in an emotionally charged situation, or even not feeling anything at all, does not mean you are mentally ill.
This seems cool!
I actually had an extremely similar idea, but tragically never had the time to write it. Really interested to see where you take it!
oooh, this is going to be good. well written, interested in seeing more!
I'm glade to see that you still can wright more positives things than The Splendid Panzers of Miss Harshwhinny despite the war.
That remember me that in addition of the Hunt the Undeads trilogie you have published so many more ressent and anciens story that I should read...
So many fimfics and never enough time...
Fascinating. Looking forward to seeing where you go with this, especially since it isn't clear how many of the other would-be Rainbooms are even in town yet. And there's the question of what Aria and Sonata have been up to in the meantime...
(And leave it to the Apples to offer Adagio hearty, filling, and plentiful portions without even meaning to.
)
Looking forward to seeing where you take this idea.
I wonder where is Aria and Sonata?
Just when Adagio was slowly embracing this new life...
Thankfully, Applejack has reinforcements under her Stetson.
This is so beautifully written, I’m looking forward to seeing how she interacts with Aria and Sonata.
I can't wait to see how the dishonest siren interacts with the honest apples.
I wonder how Adagio will deal with the return of magic and her own immortality...
A fantastic chapter!
Hay, don't make me cry over here! Not even a little! I mean it!
That very end of the second chapter!
Portenting the story's next turn at us and all.
Excellent timeskip, capturing all the joy and slow-building heartbreak of some of the best years of Adagio's life. But everything comes to an end eventually. Time for her past to catch up with her. (And speaking of pasts, there's the question of how much she suspects about that Sunset girl...)
This is so beautiful...
