Once upon a time in the magical land of New Mexico...

Rated M for Meth (Edit: Majin said it should be T, because Sex jokes aren't SUPER nasfoo *apparently*)

OC credit goes to Guma, on the FiMFiction Discord.

And thank you Perfectly Insane for offering editing this masterpiece, may God have mercy on his soul.

Sex tag for mentioning of parts but there is nothing other than that.

Takes place during Rainbow Rocks.

After being confronted in a dark corner of CHS by the Dazzlings, I begin to wonder if there is truth to what they said.

Part of the SciTwi Shimmer Chronicles

Warning: triggers of self-harm, suicidal thoughts and swearing.

Now with a review from That one RationalCritic.

Update: now with an audio reading on my YouTube channel.

If you or someone you know or love is considering suicide, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. I know from personal experience that it helps.

After losing their magic, the Dazzlings are hit hard by shame and sadness. None are more hopeless than Adagio Dazzle, who loses all light in her life and begins to sing a swan song. For sirens, this is suicide.

Sonata Dusk begs for the help of Sunset Shimmer and her friends to stop the song and keep Adagio alive, but they discover that saving a life is more difficult than saving a school, and they may not be able to keep their former enemy from fading away forever.

This story was inspired by the song "Never Too Late" by Three Days Grace.

"Main 6" is tagged but Twilight is not in this story.
Rated Teen for language and mature subject matter.

After the Battle of the Bands fiasco, Adagio has to live with the shame of losing all of the sirens' powers.

The problem is... she's not sure that she can.

Adagio, Aria, and Sonata have been together since they were born. When they took over Equestria, Adagio led them. When they were banished to Earth, Adagio led them. When they faced against the Rainbooms, Adagio led them.

Now, after losing all their power and being driven away, Adagio has had enough.

For the first time in her life, Sonata is alone. No magic. No one to guide her. No place to go. However, when she bumps into some familiar faces, she may find herself in a different place. Everything is changing fast and it's hard to take it all in.

Note: I'm gonna try my best to avoid 'Sonata in Leather Pants' here.

Smolder’s going to the Dragon Lands for the Feast of Fire.

I really don’t want her to.

(Loosely involves the events of "Student Counsel", slight spoilers.)

Ocellus starts to suffer from self identity issues, fearing that she may be losing control to her transformations.

Unable to get answers out of Guidance Counselor Starlight, Ocellus has to rely on the help of her friend, Smolder. And Smolder is glad to have another creature to share her recent experiences with.

But Ocellus suspects Smolder has another reason for helping her out. But can she focus on her suspicions long enough to act on them? Or maybe Smolder will confess on her own?

Ocellus has been having some conflicting thoughts on her place at the School of Friendship. She loves her time there, and the friends she's made, but she can't help but wonder if there's anything more to it than just friendship. So she does the sensible thing and asks her guidance councilor.

Ever have one of those nightmares where you show up to school in your underwear? Adagio Dazzle has. Except it’s not really a nightmare… in multiple senses of the phrase.

Starlight Glimmer has finally done it. She has stolen the cutie mark of everypony in Equestria and shown them the path to equality. From her new home in Princess Twilight's castle, Starlight rules Equestria, pushing everypony towards happiness and equality.

But one day Starlight Glimmer encounters a mysterious filly. A filly who is immune to Starlight's cutie mark-stealing magic. A filly with no name, no family, and no past. A filly who refuses to wipe that creepy smile off her face. As the filly begins to make friends with everyone in Ponyville, Starlight searches for a way to beat her. And what does the filly want from Starlight?

She just wants to break her.
