Quick update here, nothing exciting!
A few folks gave me a shoulder-tap to say most of the images in the online version of Empathy for the Devil had an error message. Long story short, it's all fixed, and I'm gonna be (politely and respectfully) whining to FIMfic staff to update their image hosting features. 
Feels so good to be back! For those who don't know: since Empathy chapters are releasing every other day, on off days we have bonus features. Bevin and I both are total nerds for commentary tracks, so this is our version of that!
Q: No Other Sunset??? What? How? Why?!
Complete is such a great word, isn’t it?
Gonna link to the soundtrack up front this time! New party tunes have been added, go enjoy some music if it’s your thing.
Q: How do you feel after finishing this long passion project?
Bevin has commissions open!! You like the art in Empathy for the Devil? Go support a great artist and get some of your own 🎨
Here's some examples of what people have commissioned in the past of cannon characters and/or OCs:
Some enchanted evening, eh? Well I've got something even more enchanting for you! The ever fabulous Bookish Delight talking about how to write romance! Bookish is not only a writer I admire and have learned a great deal from, but more importantly a close friend both Bevin and I love very dearly.
General question: What goes into writing romance for you?
So the next chapter of Sunlight Theory is in editing hell. As in, I hate it and have been obsessively making micro edits until I hate it less enough to post. I'm just showing my face here because I want to point you to a great new fic to tide you over while I rewrite* rephrase the chapter for the 100th time.
Let's have some fun because why not?
If these little bonus feature posts aren't your thing, no problem, we'll see you tomorrow for chapter 2's release! I thought it would be fun for us since so much of the reason Empathy even exists is because of Bevin and I dorking out back and forth, so here's a taste of what that's kinda like!
We kind of really got into answering our first question:
MARVEL: Okay, might as well start with
There's no other way to say it: I wrote a novel.
After a year and five months, I wrote the words THE END on a full story. A book.
Been waiting a long time for this one.
Q: Well then. That happened. Where did the inspiration for Sunset's decision in this chapter come from?
Chapter 2 is out and that means it's time for some bonus content!
Q: How much does Bevin know?
MARVEL: This is a really fun question for me. I think most people, if they think about it, would assume Bevin knows the whole story front to back, everything that's going to happen. Total. Lie.
Haha, happy fun times are happening! Yup! Nothing emotionally charged happening here ::clown horn honk::
Let's lighten the mood.
Q: So the boys, huh? Why do you love Timber and Flash?
BEVIN: The eternal question!
I'll be at Everfree Northwest next week! Here's the deets:
Buy copies of our stuff at Twilight's Book Nook (booth 9 in the Vendor Hall)

Oh, how far we come!
Q: What did you struggle with the most in creating the writing and art?
MARVEL: ::rubs hands together:: Oooo, I've been waiting to get talk about this
Back when this teaser image was released nobody said the words body swap (if somebody guessed it, they didn't comment on it), but it's been advertised this entire time. Show, don't tell is a powerful tool for mysteries!
Q: What appealed to us about doing a body swap story?
Q: Why did we give Flash self-esteem issues with his body?
Who knows who could be lurking in the shadows...
The cover art for Empathy for the Devil is here in all its rebellious glory! Nothing screams Sunset Shimmer quite like flipping off authority figures and embracing inner darkness—doing it in one go just saves time.
Chapter 1 is finally here!!! Holy shit! Okay, so here's how this posting thing is going to go down:
A big thank you to anyone who stayed interested in this project over the break! Your comments, private messages, and asks always made us smile. And a hello to anyone who’s returning or finds it now!
