Chapters VIII-XII are from a technically complete first draft, posted in hope of providing closure as I don't see myself properly finishing this story. Read at your own peril.

Who is Adagio? The immortal scourge of two worlds? The living embodiment of dangerous beauty and musical perfection?

Or is she a lost soul in need of a friend? A sister struggling to reunite her fractious family before it's too late?

...A strange girl who can't possibly be all the things she looks like?

The Sirens are working their way toward some kind of reformation, spending time with the Rainbooms to pick up some tips and tricks to 'friendship'. Though they sometimes fall back on their old roots, the sirens are still slowly getting the hang of this friendship business.

However, Sunset notices them acting strangely sometimes and wonders what could be behind it. With Pinkie's help, the entire group learns why Adagio doesn't like hugs.

Prepare yourself for mood whiplash. That's your only warning.

One week has passed since the Battle of the Bands. Alone and hungry, Sonata must find food to survive until Adagio comes back.

Sunset Shimmer needs some champagne, and ends up taking in an air-headed housemate and prospectively reform-able Siren. An uncertain friendship is formed as Sunset struggles to educate Sonata on how forming emotional ties with other humans works, and takes the former siren under her care in an attempt to change her for the better as the siren herself wrestles new vices and old hatreds.

Set in the EQG universe, right after Rainbow Rocks, before Friendship Games.

Sonata returns to the stage after her gem is broken, and Sunset is reminded of her own experience with forgiveness from her new Canterlot High friends. Sunset tries to reach out, but Sonata's rejection only brings back memories of her transformation. Her memories keep her following Sonata, and sharing her experience brings them closer than ever.

Sonata Dusk loves the arcade, though not everyone she knows shares her enthusiasm. But, whether it be rhythm games or cute boys, the arcade has something for everyone. Even Adagio Dazzle.

Sonata can’t understand why Adagio is so against her seeing her new friend.

(Warning: Casual talks of mental illness and controversial approaches towards it.)

Now has a review by Arcanum-Phantasy, watch it here!

Sonata has nightmares every night. She has the same reoccurring dream every time. But a person can only handle so much. Sonata can't take it anymore. She wants to end it all, she can't take the pain anymore. It's not like there was anyone who cared for her, anyways.

Feedback is encouraged.

The Friendship Games are over, and the new Twilight has officially joined the group. Sunset and her friends have helped to make Twilight's transition to CHS smoother: Inviting her to band practices, arranging for her to have a lab just like at her old school, and teaching her about the foreign concept of friendship.

Lately, Twilight has been asking Sunset for assistance with some of her experiments. Sunset is more than happy to oblige her new friend, but starts to notice Twilight paying more attention to her than anyone else in their circle.

Were these just experiments… or were they for something else entirely?

Sunset Shimmer has been distant lately, spending time with Starlight Glimmer. Twilight doesn't know how to feel, except jealous. When she gets a call from Sunset asking her to come over, she doesn't know how to feel, except hopeful.

What she discovers is something altogether unexpected.
