Adagio's come down with Murk Sickness, an illness that is to Sirens as the flu is to humans. Aria and Sonata insist she stay home, but Adagio wants to go to work. Unfortunately for her, Sonata and Aria are extremely determined when it comes to their beloved big sister. Shenanigans ensue.
Heavily inspired by the Dazzlings works of Majin Syeekoh, CGPHadley, and Fuzzyfurvert (as if I didn't have enough writers to look up to).
Rated T for strong language, mutilation and cannibalism threats, incestual and sexual allusions (are you really surprised at this point?) and gross sickness mucus (cause fucking ew).
Enjoy
Chapters (1)
This... was... something. Not sure what was up with the incest but... yeah.
This is both weirdly appropriate and hilariously ironic
I wonder if they've tried calm compassion yet, because being bound in chains and taunted probably isn't going to do a lot for the healing process no matter who you are. Nor her mood when she inevitably gets free.
Still, this was kind of cute overall, give or take the accidental mass-murder bits.
I've heard bluenette and pinkette, but this is the first violette I've seen. It's great!
Loved the phone conversation with Truth.
8189372 I use it a lot when I'm working for anime. Purplette/Violette and pinkette are only a few that I threw together to compensate for rainbow-colored hair.
8189384 Thank you.
8189429 You're really right and I loved the irony of it the most. Using Greek Goddesses for 'middle names' was an idea given to me by someone else, so I carefully picked one for each siren. Glad you enjoyed it.
8189438 That's the noodle incident. Adagio doesn't see anything wrong with heading out into the world and creating another Black Death from her Siren flu if she's got something to do. Keeping her chained up was the best way to stop her. I'm still glad you were able to enjoy it. Would you consider something like this in need of the Dark tag? I'm honestly not sure...
8189459 I hoped someone would enjoy the phone conversation. Especially considering Truth is just so used to the sisters' antics by now that it hardly fazes him.
8189831
As it's only a passing mention, I think this is fine without a Dark tag. If that kind of thing were a consistent theme, though, sociopathic comedy only stretches so far.
8189839 True. I'll keep that in mind if I do something like this again. Thanks for the advice.
8189831 I'm afraid I have to ask what Sonata and Adagio's middle names are, if that's something you'd be willing to divulge.
8190125 Oh, yeah, of course. Persephone and Aphrodite respectively. BenRG came up with Adagio's since Aphrodite was like #1 on the 'fits Adagio perfectly' list. I chose Persephone for Sonata because of her bubbly, cheerful nature.
8190159 Interesting
I would have thought that Hera would be a better fit for Adagio, and that it would be almost mandatory for Eris to be in there somewhere, but Aphrodite
May I ask why you picked an ironic one for Aria but more appropriate ones for the other two?
is an obvious choice in some ways and Persephone's one that would never have occurred to me and I really like it
8190680 8190159 I agree about Hera being a better fit; Aphrodite always struck me as a bit nice for Adagio, and kind of one-dimensional as an interpretation.
...Why are we spoilering these?
8190715 For bonus points, if Adagio were Hera Aria was still Hestia and Sonata was Demeter instead of Persephone their namesakes would all be sisters as well
Alternatively, Adagio could be Apollo to keep a connection to music and light and continue the trend set by her masculine first name.
The first one about Hestia I decided to spoil because I found it funny enough that I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise for other mythology nerds who might crack a smile at it. Beyond that...
Tradition, I guess?
8190680
8190715 Yeah, I've no idea why I spoiled'em, but since it's a full blown discussion, Aria's is there only one that needs a spoiler bar now.
I actually contemplated Hera, but actually both she and Aphrodite had something in common that I considered. Both are married. But unlike Hera, I can't see Adagio continuing to put up with Zeus' bullshit while Aphrodite straight up didn't want Hephaestus, and does everything in her power to get away from the dude and go after what she does want. There was also the siren bit, considering the beauty, love and fertility part of Aphrodite, it allows for some alternate interpretations of both the goddess and Adagio herself. As for the reason for Aria, my character interpretation of her is that she does care a lot about her family and is very loyal to them even though she antagonizes both of her sisters. She seems like the protective type, you know, "No one calls Sonata an idiot but me, ya douche!" kinda thing.
(Though, Apollo for Adagio isn't a bad idea either.)
8191211 All very reasonable points, though I would suggest that Zeus is probably worth putting up with a bit more than Hephaestus. One is king of everything, the other a blacksmith, and I'd have thought if Adagio were doing the trophy wife thing she'd at least aim high.
8191707 I can't see Adagio taking kindly the mere idea that her husband isn't attracted to her. God King or not, fairly certain she'd figure out a way to make his life Tartarus in Olympus if he even thought of going to someone else. Actually, imagining the face she'd make when she found out is sending me into a laughing fit.
8191211 The part about marriage could go either way, the way I see it; on one hand, Zeus being the top god, Adagio might consider his influence being worthwhile enough to put up with all of his shenanigans, but given that her main interest is being adored it's hard to imagine her not going behind his back when it's clear she's not the only one getting his attention. In that regard at least, I think Aphrodite and Hera would both fit quite well.
What I think tips things in favor of Hera for me is that she's vindictive even compared to the other goddesses as well as impressed enough with herself that she thought she had a shot at being the fairest goddess when competing against Aphrodite, a literal goddess of beauty (And by some accounts, she was close enough that they needed to resort to bribery to get Paris to make up his mind). This seems more in line with Adagio's personality since she's the most aggressive and confident of the Dazzlings.
Glad you liked the Apollo idea, though
I think freedom is something they wouldn't take from each other. They were living in vaste oceans, freedom is in their bones and to tie one of tem down would be something unthinkable and unbearable. I wouldn't want to live with someone who ties me up. Also Adagio is behaving like a little kid and not someone that has thousand years of experience behind herself. In the film she behaved like someone who has great patience. And she needs it to be able to have Aria and Sonata as friends she lives with. But here her behaviour was reckles and unlogical. Also where would she get the sickness? They are the only three sirens there and no one had it for hundreds of years. They would have to meet another siren that recently got there from Equestria to catch it.
8200786 Canon is the plaything of the fandom.
and for the record, chain her to a lawn chair with a bucket to go to the bathroom and one off to the side to spit the mucus into. Also might I suggest having like a dungeon to lock her up in? It might work a lot better.
Well...that was unexpected. Amusing and silly, yet unexpected. With that cover image, I was honestly expecting something fluffy and cute. ;P
Only question I have is how Dagi could breathe through her nose when she had the gag in.
