Because Rainbow Lasers Solve Everything
Calmy Storm is the one --and only-- Para Psychotherapist in Canterlot City. The strange and unusual is his bread and better, but will his latest client be beyond his skills?
Created both to exercise my atrophied writing muscles and work out some ideas regarding the potential continuation of Midnight Sparkle, leaning on her appearances in Legend of the Everfree.

Very interested where this could go!

Thank you, I've a few ideas and hope it'll get some traction.
I like oc. I like character development this might be it. Very interesting so far. But I need more chapters before I can judge this personally.
Woah. Don't tell me; he had a thing for her and she rejected him, right?
Been there, done that, bought the tee shirt.

Wait and see 😉
Interesting setup. I look forward to seeing both Calmy’s history and what, if anything, he can do for Twilight.
This was great! So nice to see things from Sonata's point of view (the sweetest and cutest siren) without her being a total airhead. Also, mortality. Eugh.
Adagio as a Civil War nurse? I would never have expected that from the most cynical and tsundere siren.
Aria as a possibly traumatized Civil War veteran is an unexpected wrinkle. I wonder if Sonata’s ever considered asking Calmy for an employee discount for his services.
Fascinating look at the Sirens’ situation. Their circumstances and relatio ship are some of the more interesting dials to adjust in this setting. Seeing them as roughly equals is an unusual delight. Looking forward to seeing what else you do with them, to say nothing of Twilight’s sessions.

The fun thing to me is that Sonata is weirdly the most well adjusted to working with "normal" people even outside of this fic. Adagio is too high on Villainous shenanigans to lower herself to it and Aria has too much sass and agression. Meanwhile Sonatas just a ditz, and if your hiring teenagers Ditzy isnt THAT unexpected.

Nothing ruins your faith in the world like being at Bull Run.
Honestly i always preferred that the dazzlings came on earth not too long before eqg1 like what idw implied but having them live through world history like this is a fun concept
And so we go into the belly of the beast. This will be interesting for everyone involved. Somehow I doubt Calmy's dealt with quite this level of supernatural involvement before... but I may be surprised.

Thanks for reading 😁
We'll just have to see how things go, though I've a rough first draft of the next chapter ready to fo. Just needs some work to iron out the flaws.
I'm a big fan of your work btw
Sorry about the hassle, but when do you think the next update will come out?
11292663
Fairly soon. I've revised the latest chapter a few times now, trying to get the right vibe.
That’s equal parts intriguing and concerning.
As is the other Miss Sparkle making herself known. This session already had a lot to unpack. Midnight’s going to add a whole other airport carousel’s worth.
..did she infiltrate his mind?
I wish more people understood this.
So Celestia isn't the first one to turn people into stone? Intresting.
I wonder what they would think of Discord's escape and reformation?
Short and creepy, but it holds my interest. I guess we'll see we're you go from here.
It's always the filler isn't it? I know how that feels. I have patience though, and a bookmark button.
I don't get that vibe. Not yet anyway.
If Midnight wants therapy too, then there are ways to play that without making your character unrealistically OP.
If you make her a all out spree killer you could have problems, but canonically that isn't who Midnight is anyway.
Actually there aren't any spree killers in EQG, which means you are in a pretty safe place to do a psycho analytical drama with a underpowered protagonist, even if you make it a series.
The closest thing I can think of is Sunset Shimmer whose been safely harmonized into being good. For the most part anyway.
Wouldn't that be a detriment?
Eh, Chrystal Prep Uniforms don't exactly scream maturity themselves.
11293720
Personal experience says brothers and parents beat this truth into you early on.
And they tell you physical discipline isn't good for anything. Hah!
Sounds like Shinny was doing his part to make her miserable at the very least.
I don't think canon Midnight would intentionally hurt anyone. She probably wouldn't be too concerned about casualties but she is curious, not malicious.
Of course maybe I'm just defending her because she's hawt.
11308500
Not as much as you'd think, it adds a layer of predictability to the situation that a therapist can learn coping mechanisms for. It's kind of repeated with Twilight falling into patterns Calmy expects, since therapy is so flanderised in its depictions that everyone generally thinks they understand the process when it's alot more complex.
11308513
Whilst I wont spoil anything, lets just say Calmy isn't the most reliable narrator and (much like with Cadance) has his own biases and interpretations.
I definitely wouldn’t mind some mingling with magic to spice it up right about now, and I don’t see how calmy could come off as overpowered, he seemed to clearly come off as careful and vulnerable in this chapter
11308513
In fairness she hasn't yet. She's mostly just throwing her weight around at this point.
I imagine losing access to the portal's magic put a real crimp in her plans to bust through to Equestria.
11308544
Yeah I was kind of getting that vibe from his assumption that Twilight was being bullied for her clothes in a school with a dress code.
It's a great chance to create a protagonist that's a little less knowledgeable than the audience though.
Which can be useful if you want to write a longer drama story.
Sorry for the delay. Great stuff here. I look forward to seeing Midnight’s perspective on the matter. It should certainly be unique.
OKay this has popped back in my mind , if Sonata and Sci Twi are still young does that mean trixie and sunburst have a weird teenage marriage thing goin on or are they just siblings in law and calmy is just referring to their parents?
11317346
My intent here (perhaps poorly worded on my part) is that they are two separate clients.
Waiting for the dramatic "YOU'RE NOT ME!".
I kid. Eager to see where this goes, though.
What's a Para Psychotherapist?
11274286
I though Aria was the most cynical and tsundere siren.
seeing a scrawny sci twi hunched over a ridiculously large amount of alcohol must’ve been one hell of a sight
is this sci twi or chuck mcgill of hhm co
one hell of an ending too
11319824
Whilst I've laid some strong hints out, we'll be covering that in future chapters, don't worry.
I think this is the first fanfic I've read where Midnight Sparkle is another personality of Sci-Twi
I think this song fit so well for twilight and midnight sparkle. Moon knight.
11320967
I'd be lying if I didn't say Moon Knight influenced the creation of this fic somewhat, albeit more the comics then the show (which is very good however).
Hey, a criminal underworld is still an underworld. And I appreciate any excuse to use that word. Much like “defenstration.”
Yeah, Twilight needs help. As does Midnight, assuming she is a distinct personality. Given how Twilight has her geode, this has been going for too long as it is. Here’s hoping Calmy can do something for these girls.
You're just lucky he's sweet.
Who else could you coerce into making you a elaborate high tech spy program?
11326627
Probably pre Friendship Games Sci Twi? Cinch just wasn't ambitious enough or clever enough in dealing with her.
11326666
Adagio has nothing Twilight wants though.
Maybe Adagio could bully her into it, but a random creep with no conceptions to her school and limited finances, would be a much easier target to pursue action against than her previous CPA bullies.
11326691
True. I was thinking rather she'd manipulate her through being a confidant, a kind ear, dare I say 'a friend' ? All theoretical of course.
Adagio’s the best at what she does, and what she does isn’t very nice.
Now the question is what Adagio’s going to make of these audio logs. This could develop in any number of different directions…
Also, dare I ask what Aria’s doing to make money? I’m imagining rage-streaming.
11328230
She works on their "Neightreon", making cash off their old music.
I'm really liking the setup for the Dazzlings here. It's interesting to see the aftermath of them losing their powers and how they're just trying to make ends meet now. Kinda wonder how Aria managed to get into the army, though.
I would also like to point out that I noticed quite a few grammar errors/inconsistencies here and there. Nothing major, but I would suggest reviewing this chapter to get rid of those little errors.
11331738
Any highlights? I work without an editor so it's a one man job.
11274320
Here's a couple of examples. For the first bold mark, "was" should be taken out since it isn't necessary. For the second one, "it" was just spelled wrong. To make things easier on yourself, put this chapter through a spellcheck and it should catch most errors for you.
No relation to Thelma Thunder Hooves by any chance?
This sounds familiar. Right Dashy?
Knowing Dashy the way I do, it's just as likely she just communicated her interest basically since she has a incredibly simple vocabulary.
But that's just me.
I mean that sounds like something EqG Rainbow Dash already understands in principle.
And if not, you could probably explained it to her if you did it slowly, and used fewer words.
I kid. Just explain it to her slowly and she'll get it.
11320996
I get Midnight being OP by Earth standards after being pumped on Equestrian magic, but how does she know about runes? Calmy obtained that knowledge from Al'amr, a secret society. I doubt actual occult knowledge can be obtained with internet searches.
11338711
I thought everyone got their Occult secrets from Tiktok, or is it just me? Lol
Seriously though, this will be covered in the future much like Calmy being a Para Psychotherapist.
