True family is always there for you.
Little bit bleaker than I usually like to see, but you did a good job with this. Thanks for writing it
If I may ask, though, what happened to Adagio here? Seems fitting for the tone that she’s not mentioned (Unless I missed something, of course), but a little odd for the setting as a whole.
8523097
Ideally anyway.
8523190
Yeah, I don't normally, but this is also significantly darker than my normal fare.
8523247
Admittedly, its a lot bleaker than I usually like to write too. But it was one of those things I just felt like getting out.
As for Adagio, I don't know. The story is basically from Aria's perspective, and she's not thinking of anything that's not immediately at hand. Maybe she's at work, maybe she abandoned them, maybe she's home and ignoring them, or maybe Aria's only following her lead.
8523587
Yeah, ideally.
8523736
Sorry, that was overly negative of me. Yeah, it is good to have family and friends there for you.

To be honest, I'm not a fan of it either, but I like to put the tags there anyway so people have some idea what they are getting into. "Trigger warning" was the closest term I could come up with at 11:30 at night
Ooh, Sonata's cleverer than I gave her credit for, hiding those notes where she did. One presumes Adagio will still be around somewhere to take care of her, or Aria might have recognised her own caring for Sonata role as something she isn't (quite) useless at. I liked how far you went with it with the punch, that sold it as someone who'd given up caring. Good story!
8524551
Thank you!
Yeah, Sonata thinks differently from the others, but that doesn't have to mean she's stupid.
I really tried to convey that with Aria. Someone who is so certain of her decision that she is convinced she will never see the consequences.
Like others, I tend to scoff at "trigger warnings" due to how loosely they're used online, but... Damn, it was needed here.
I've been in Aria's shoes before. I'm not sure if you've been through this yourself or if you just really did your homework, but the way you wrote this, from the physical pain to the scattered yet single track thoughts... It was accurate. Far too accurate to get through without me breaking down.
PLEASE don't take this as a negative. The fact that it affected me like this is a testament to how well this was written. I might actually share this with friends that aren't bronies, since it describes so well some of the things that go through my head during some of my worse depressive episodes.
Thank you so much for writing and sharing this. In a way, it made me feel not so alone. I will definitely keep an eye out for future works from you.
8524620 It just occurred to me that the acting without consequences thing is kind of like the darkest possible echo of 'that's Future Spike's problem'
8525360
Yeah, Aria's stream of consciousness here is basically my own, though dialed up a bit. I basically just thought, what if I took all my worst instincts, and put them in someone with no fear of consequences, and that's basically how the story came about. I tried to keep it as raw and honest as possible, with no time spent on research or editing.
I'm... glad it resonated so strongly, though I'm sorry as well. I know sometimes stories like these are hard to read, because they feel all too familiar. But at the same time you can't stop, because you need that reassurance that everything turns out alright in the end. Or if not that, the closure at least. It's always good to know that there are others out there with the same experiences though.
Keep on keeping on.
8526294
Oh, I like that a lot. That's definitely a concept that could take more exploration. I might consider that if I ever do a story like this again.
As someone who's attempted suicide three times now, this story really resonates with me, and Aria's whole I-don't-matter thought process was basically what I went through, albeit with less of her sense of loss and more of a sense that things getting better was an impossibility.
I was, of course, wrong, and I can't imagine anything warming Sonata's heart right now more than Aria realizing she's wrong too. Nice job.
8653168
Life gets down sometimes, I've tended to find a measure of peace in writing, even when it's something like this. Everyone needs a Sonata in their life.
8523190
Yeah, I know, I usually scoff and roll my eyes at them as well, simply because the phrase is VERY overused. In this case, though, I'm letting it slide.
As someone with severe depression and that has attempted suicide a few times, this one actually got to me. It's well written and does too good of a job at describing the mindset of someone that has just given up.

Thank you.
This is an absolutely beautiful story. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I’d like to imagine this as being somehow related to Neighbors, but there’s too many inconsistencies in details between the stories. Maybe a parallel version of events? That could work.
I can empathize with Aria.
I have a combo of depression and anxiety, with the former usually following the latter. I am on medicine for it, but I’m sure plenty of people know that some days it’s not enough.
There have been times that I’ve wondered if I should kill myself. If I should stop being a burden. But those thoughts haven’t ever lasted long enough to leave an impression, and I haven’t gotten that desperate yet. Besides, I’d still be a burden even in death because funerals are fucking expensive.
Overall, I liked this one!
9886578
Hey, thanks!
Yeah, this one was definitely written from a first person perspective. I'm better now than when I wrote it, but still have bad days. But you know, writing it all out helped.
This is one of the first times I've seen suicidality depicted through anger in a fanfic, and it certainly fits Aria to a T here. Her self-destructive behaviour really comes across as someone who honestly doesn't aim to live long enough to face the consequences, from her attempts to destroy her music player to shattering the shard of glass in her hand purely to scatter the fragments into the carpet.
I really like your depiction of Aria changing her mind, and how such a seemingly meaningless sentiment can mean so much at a time like that. The red mist fading, and in its place... nothing, really. No revelation, no melodrama, just an emptiness, that almost seems as though Aria acts reflexively rather than consciously.
Honestly, the only thing I can point out is the repetition of "actually" in the final paragraph, but that's really nitpicking.
And I couldn't help but let out a morbid laugh at those six... no, just to be sure, seven clicks.
