The Dazzlings turn up at your pool-bar, trying to regain their old magic powers. Meanwhile, Sonata seems to enjoy submerging herself for her own entertainment. One day, fate conspires to have you thrown into the mix.
I don't think Sonata missed that at all, she just is intelligent enough to know that to use that method, it has to be actual danger, not safe "Don't worry, I'll save you" danger. She doesn't want to risk missing and loosing someone she now starting to care about.
Edit: and then I remembered the title, and the warnings, and can now guess where it is going ... and I love it :D

You know, you aren't that far off! Future chapters will reveal all, but that guess was about 70% right.
9475478 Yeah, after my edit, got a pretty good idea which general area it is going, unless I am totally wrong, but that's not a bad thing, I love this story, and will continue to love it! :D After all half the fun is seeing how you get to the destination storywise
Also can I say how much I love it that it took them to 1987 to find out that 'thralls' wont follow orders against survival instinct, shows how little often they directly order into that kind of situation.
9475514 They'll follow orders to a degree... one could theoretically order a thrall to march on hot coals since it won't strictly kill them. They'll be in pain, but ultimately they'll remain charmed. Whereas if you order a thrall to march off a cliff, they'll obey, then snap to their senses and "break the spell" mid-fall. Unfortunately, their charm-free lives would be short-lived. It's very difficult to find a way to break the spell safely this way.
By the time you'd finished reading, your veins ran cold. In order for you to get rid of your charm... you had to undergo a near-death experience. Perhaps Sonata had missed this part of Aria's notes; she did look exhausted, after all. First thing tomorrow, you'll speak to her about it. Maybe she can figure something out.
The big gasp!

"It's usually someone different working there each time we pull that trick. Either that or it's been too long for them to remember us."
Y'know, I've often wondered how that would work in real life. And what if you didn't bother keeping it updated? Would the state eventually try to call you on it? Or would they just keep auto-renewing your license every ten years or so?
"Maybe if we use this info to stretch the charm to its limits, then maybe we can straight-up break it."
It was at this moment, I had an idea about the story title.
The result was strange to behold; he happily walked out into the busy road, and was halfway across when a truck sped around a nearby corner. Said juggernaut screeched past the thrall, missing him by what I can only assume to be inches at most. At which point he appeared to shudder, and a moment later, drop the coffee and run off.
And it was at this moment, I became certain of my idea.
Hottest siren plus hottest fetish? I'm pretty sure there's some law against anything being this hot.

I love this. I wish this site had a like button for each chapter instead of just the main one for the whole story.

A friendly comment works just as well in my book! Cheers. 👍

Since there isn't such a law, get 'em while it's hot! :P

I don't know. I may need to consult my lawyers about how furiously to masturbate to it.
Was thinking about this story again. The fact that the protag knows this fact, makes it harder to use it.

Don't worry, I'm dutifully writing the conclusion! No ETA on it, but things are getting done!

Take all the time you need, this is one of those stories would wait for for years and still love.
good story so far, keep up the good work.
The big gasp!
