Adagio is starving, with very few options for survival. Her magic and singing are both gone. She's at the end of her rope.

The most dangerous predator is the one backed into a corner and out of options. Adagio is one such predator.

My (secondary) entry into EbonQuill's Dark Reprise: Dazzlings Contest, on the low road path (Dazzlings Ascendant)

It's been a long time since Adagio Dazzle lost her powers but she never lost her drive. In a small town far away from Canterlot High, she and her onetime rival Trixie share an apartment and make a tough living together off odd jobs, street racing, and Trixie's magic act. She hasn't thought about the other Dazzlings for years, but one summer night, Aria Blaze turns up on their doorstep with shocking news.

Basically a product of my rampant Ameriphilia. A little piece about independence and self-discovery.

The problem with scheduling a date first thing in the morning is that there's no time to get ready beforehand. This means that one must prepare everything the night before. This includes picking a wardrobe, planning the itinerary, and grooming oneself. Grooming oneself involves, among other things, getting a haircut.

There are not many places that offer haircuts late into the night.

Flash Sentry has a date first thing in the morning tomorrow. Flash Sentry needs a haircut.

Lucky for him, someone is willing to give one to him.

Part Of My New " Once More Verse."

Having been defeated by the Rainbooms, losing their dark powers, and even their ability to sing, the Dazzlings are all but happy with how Adagio's plan went. But, as they did when defeated before, they will brush themselves off and keep moving forward.. Now they have to continue living in this world, without their powers this time. As they go on, however, they will start to notice some changes amongst themselves, and realize just how this tragedy affected each of them.

Major spoilers for the game Bastion. This is a basic recap of the story. you have been warned!

Caelondia, once the most beautiful city in the land, reduced to rubble. When the Calamity struck, took the floor out from under us. Now everything seemed to be floating high in the sky. Only thing down was a seemingly endless tumble.

Windbags took over what remains of Caelondia, too bad it ain't much. The wild unknown was growing wild once more. The Ura, our pale neighbors to the east, they got every right to be mad. After all, we were the ones who planned the Calamity. Now all that's left of Caelondia, is the Bastion. The kid kept at it, finding cores, aged pieces of stones from Burstone Quarry, they used to power what was once Caelondia, now they're going to bring everything back.

Over time though, he finds others. Down in the Hanging Gardens, he finds Zulf. Zulf was an Ura man, he lost everything to the Calamity. In Prosper Bluff, he finds another Ura, her name was Zia, she was a musician, played her own little Harp-Guitar.

I swear every time the kid came back from finding a core, he brings back all sorts of creatures with him. He brought with him a baby Squirt, a Pecker bird, and even to my surprise an Anklegator. Even managed to fix up an idol of Pyth the Bull.

Lots happened since then, Zulf betrayed us, betrayed the Bastion. Soon he and his countrymen went to finish it off. Ain't for the critters, kid may have been to late to save it. Shame we lost em to the Ura's blades.

The kid did it though, he made his way to the Tazal Terminals, the Ura's home city, a network of underground tunnels. It was cast to the stars in the Calamity. The Ura weren't too happy when the kid began to make a ruckus in their own home. They switched that anger to the man who brought the kid there,

Zulf.

They turned on him, beat him till he was red and blue. Then they left him for dead in the snow, hardly believed it when kid brought it in himself to save the man. Bet he had to do more than say please that time.

Now here we are, The Bastion is complete. Kid just needs to pull that switch, and everything will turn back to normal. Don't worry, everyone will be alright. Things will go back to the way they used to be. All that needs to be done, is for the kid to pull that switch.

Caelondia, we're coming home.

Takes place a month after Rainbow Rocks, and after the first restoration ending in Bastion.

Rated teen now for language and darker themes.

Cover art is something I whipped up in Photoshop on short notice.

Siblings don't always look alike. But when it comes to their own personal tastes... there are rarely any similarities. To say the least they are the most intimate of strangers. The more they fight the closer they are, that is, until one of them grows up. Than all interaction ceases to exist. Too bad that's not the case here. But one thing is for certain.

There will be blood-shed.

Cover art is something I whipped up on Photoshop

After the Battle of the Bands, a new threat makes itself known in the human world. The problem is, when the creature you need to defeat gains power from the magic of love and friendship, how do you defeat it? The answer seems simple enough: use the power of negative energy.

The only ones who can use the power of negative energy? The Dazzlings.

Oh, dear.

7/7/2016: Now with cover art designed by the very generous Novel-Idea! Thank you so much!

The Dazzlings haven't had any luck since their defeat at the hands of Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, and the girls of Canterlot High. However, despite her humiliation at the hands of them, Adagio is starting to have second thoughts about humans.

So much so, in fact, that she has a conversation with one and can't keep him off her mind.

Planning to regain her powers, Adagio enlists the help of a student attending CHS. However, she soon starts to believe her own lie: that she can live among them and perhaps put her siren past behind her. Will she succeed or will those who harbor a grudge against sirens make her reconsider?

(This story takes place after Rainbow Rocks. No elements beyond RR or Season 5 are present in this fanfiction.)

This story is a sequel to We Three: Hebi No Onna

The Dazzlings are sisters, they've been together their whole lives. Following a mishap with another attempt to repair the gems, Aria thought that time had come to an end.

She soon learns that her sisters are there for her, no matter what.
