After getting stuck together on a class project, Sunny starts to question her views of Indigo. The brash tomboy was very different when they were working together, and that just didn't add up. So it was time to do some digging.
Hints of romance in later chapters, this is basically the backstory for Indigo and Sunny's relationship. There's some threads to other fics, but they're really not gonna jump out until later.
I hope you enjoy, I'm no good at drama.
Art done by Ta'ruht Qarine a good friend of mine, her stuff is awesome and her commissions are affordable, check her out!
Oh snap, this was featured on 10/26/22
Never imagined I'd make it to the front page outside of update windows, that's really cool!
Chapters (46)
Hm, interesting start.
I like that much of the girls agression towards each other is born from the assumption of their intentions, and how when they are taken away from the ambient of the school they seem much more relaxed.
Also, that message at the end, Indigo's questioning of her own work, and her restlesness has me interested in knowing more about her.
I hope you keep finding inspiration and time to write

Oh, thanks! I'm really glad I got that across. A lot of the story that I've noticed, as I don't exactly have it fully planned out, I typically just wing it and try to tie the loose ends, a lot of the story is based around what people think about them. I don't like just writing anyone as just one archetype. I like them to have depth and maybe some drama in their lives because honestly, no one has a perfect life. Even the kids who seem to have everything going right for them.
I'm like, really happy that I've given enough to make you wonder about Indigo. That was one of my bigger concerns, did I show enough of her behind the scenes actions? Well, more of her quirks will be explained in the next chapter. Gonna try and get going on the 4th chapter, I've got two more ready to drop on this one...I really wish I knew how many I'm gonna end up with.
10459071
I fully support the notion of havign more complex characters, especially with stories that focus on their normal lives. And yeah, have, had, or will have bad moments in our lives.
I think you showed enough to peek interest without giving away the full problem.
I will be waiting for more. Good luck!
How is “I see?” a question?
How did she go from talking about makeup to the project?
10470588
Okay, the I see was due to the way Indigo spoke about her family. Sunny was acknowledging the request, even if it was somewhat confusing to her.
And she went to the project because she associated it with Indigo not having the time to properly put on makeup. But that's a good catch, maybe it's something that in my mind makes sense as a logical step to take, but other people maybe not so much.
10470722
Oh ok
10470733
Thank you for reading tho! I appreciate you asking, that makes me wanna edit that to flow a little better.
10470739
It would be a good idea.
I really like this story so far and I can’t wait to read more! Any idea when the next chapter will be up? (No rush)
10475916
I kinda wanna get chapter 4 done before I throw out the second, but I may drop it here in the next day or so. I've been excited to put out the second part.
I'm glad you like it! Thank you so much for reading!
Har har har.
Wait, does she have indigo’s paper?
Hide them
I don’t think that’s a good idea.
I loved it. Can’t wait for more!
10477879
I like to imagine the shadow bolts are the top students. There has to be a reason Cinch picked them, right?
10477992
Hmm. In order, Sunny has pretty decent memory and it wasn't that long ago that they were working together. Maybe an hour had passed?
Second, I dunno if you've ever been through some stuff, but hiding things doesn't exactly work when the person you're hiding them from is on a warpath.
And third, maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Guess we won't know just yet.
10478200
Thank you! I gotta get the next one finished. I don't wanna run out of completed chapters before I wrap this up.
10478337
Makes sense
I probably would not have apologized.
Wouldn’t let that sh*t happen to me though.
How long was she recording?
10497407
Indigo was pretty intimidating.
Sunny also has quite the temper.
Not long, just speaking the information that she already had.
10497842
Listen, I don’t care intimidating or big of a temper you have, your gonna have to try a lot harder.
Also, what I for did she already have?
10497848
Gonna guess your question was "What info did she have"? All of her personal time with her. The few times they hung out and worked with one another.
10498330
Ohh, so she’s been recording since then?
10498338
Nah, more like she's taking notes to make a plan. She was just going over the personality that she heard Indigo had and comparing it to what she's experienced while actually talking to her.
10498352
Oh, so the recording was basically notes?
10498354
Yup!
10498356
Ohh, I was thinking of an entirely different record.
Loving this story, do you know when the next chapter might possibly be up?
10521665
I'm trying to keep 1 chapter ahead of the posted fic. I'm almost done with the fifth chapter, then I'll release the fourth. I'm really happy that it's getting so much attention and thank you so much for giving it a shot!
10521804
I get it. So is it like once number 5 is done number 4 is released then when number 6 is done 5 will be released on so on? Sorry to ask i just get quiet impatient when it’s a story that I love.
10521874
That's it exactly. I understand the frustration, but I'm really trying to make sure I'm not just leaving a story unfinished. (I already have one I need to keep writing, this one just took over my creativity)
10522247
I understand, I’m just really impatient.
10522301
Sorry! Just know that it is coming, I'm gonna make sure this gets finished. I'm really happy with how it's turning out.
What does that mean?
I mean, she’s not really wrong.
That also sounds a little bit like adhd, but I’m not a doctor.
That must be her sweet side.
She did?
How much did she hear?
1. Being flighty essentially means that you try to get out of situations quickly, that you can appear interested and disinterested in something just as fast.
2. Think of it more like your close friend had these problems and you always hear people insulting them, you'd get defensive, even if there was some truth to it, right?
3. Could be, I'm sorta rolling with things that I do when I'm getting anxious as hints
4. My interpretation of Sour Sweet is that she struggles between snapping and being nice. She rarely gets to be genuine because of her condition.
5. She did.
6. She overheard a good bit of it, enough to know that Sunny was trying to understand her better.
Put down?
Jus out of curiosity,what would would her mother say and/or do if her father mysteriously disappeared?
Wait, if it’s something she grew up with, shouldn’t it be easier to take?
That’s high school for you.
10562548
Put down as in, being insulted and made to feel small.
I haven't said much about her mom at the moment, but I think she'd probably blame Indigo if something happened.
Hinting at things to come.
Yup. I think CPA is a bit rougher though.
10562576
Also, did you already create a sequel?
10562581
I had written that one first actually! This started off as a backstory to that fic and sorta grew into this long form mess that I have going right now.
10562587
Ohh
How is she the reason?
Is that what they’re upset about?
Can someone snatch her by her hair and swing her around like a helicopter propeller?
What insults?
I hate that school with a burning passion.
If only they realized this from the get go.
This just made me realize, did they ever apologize to her in the movie?
10597443
1. Because Twilight is the best of the best academically, so Cinch holds her above them.
2 & 3. These were just scenes from the movie I included for the sake of canon.
4. Just the insults in general, no real particular ones.
5. It can be rough there.
6. Sometimes you need your eyes to be opened to some harsh truths.
7. I think they mentioned them talking to her off screen in between the movie and one of the specials.
10597455
Luckily they got reformed before it was too late.
10597506
Exactly!
10597546
I like Sunny's dad. I'm at the point where I'm doing more with him in the chapter I'm working on!
Been waiting for what feels like ages. Worth it though my favourite chapter so far, keep it up. 😊
10646412
Aw, thanks. Sorry! I'm caught up with work and youtube stuff, getting time to write is difficult.
But I'm glad you're liking the story.
10646424
I love it, that’s why I’m impatient with it. 😂
10646466
I appreciate that you're still invested, even if it takes me a bit to get the story finished, sorry for the waits in between chapters.
I wonder how many people feel this way.
If cadence did what I think she did, I’m disappointed that she didn’t do it sooner.
What does she mean by lively?
Aww, I was hoping the parents would be there.
10646484
That’s ok 😊
