I'm a sucker for unusual pairings, and I am loving this so far!
Aie Chihuahua.
A well-written SpitfirexAdagio fic on my feed? Um, I'm not sure if I have enough YES to pay for this, forbloodysummer! Definitely a watch and favorite from me.
It's a good week for epic romances!
And an unusual Spitfire pairing? This is relevant to my interests.
You're setting up quite a dynamic here, of two strong-willed individuals used to using their partners. It's going to be fun to watch the sparks fly as they try to navigate that beyond the initial fling. (At least I assume, given that it's a longer work to be posted weekly, that this goes farther.)
9733175 Unusual pairings are very much something I like. Perhaps not really because they're unusual, but just because they offer a much broader scope of characters than the small number who are usually paired up. Glad to hear you're enjoying it
9733640 In a good way, or...?
9734411 Thanks very much! I think I've only seen humanised Spitfire done three times before, one of which was yours This is my pony OTP and I have kept quiet about that for three years while finishing this story, as I know how slowly I write and I thought someone else would beat me to it (there's one other DagiFire story out there so far - it's M-rated, so I can't link to it directly, but it's the only thing in this group folder).
9734516 That sounds like the best kind of week!
Ooh, I didn't realise you were a Spitfire fan, that's good to know - she's the best thing with legs, whether she has two of them or four
Thanks! I'm not sure what I can say without spoiling things to come, but I think it's fair to say this really isn't a FlutterDash-style pairing of opposites coming together. In canon, these two are literally worlds apart in distance. But once you get past that, I don't think there are many characters more alike in situation or temperament.
Spitfire needs to get laaaaid.
9744990 She definitely does!
...Maybe I should use that as the story's short description
The woman in the cover art is Spitfire, right?
9745078 Yep, that's my take on humanised Spitfire, standing up there on the balcony. I commissioned the piece from Lucy-tan about a year ago, and sent her reference pictures for Spitfire's dress and hairstyle - the only difference is that her dress in the story is bright yellow, but didn't look so great in the picture.
And then the person in the foreground is Adagio, looking up at her.
Dammit Adagio, you tease!
9745215 Thanks, I'm really glad that bit came across as intended
I struggle to think of many Adagio moments in fanfiction that have stuck with me the way that signature one has
9756035 It makes me very happy how much it resonated with you! I was thinking about maybe having it as the cover image for a few weeks.
Making a reference photo to send the artist was fun!
"Depends. Would that turn you on?"
(Considering it's Adagio, I'm betting yes)
9768007 Can't say I was a fan of the film, but I do remember one scene, and it's hard not to think of in answer to that question
9770132
I actually have never seen that movie. I was just making a joke.
9772056 I know
Seemed relevant as a response - can't say I'd recommend the movie beyond that scene, though.
I.......... don't know what to say. Wasn't expecting it to be so short. Well written, but short.
Huh. That happened.
9778207 Been thinking about how to reply to this!
It's short for a few reasons, really. I didn't want to push the story beyond the teen rating, and I think showing much more would have risked that. I also wanted something that was more about sensations and impressions than definite events, like it's seen in a fever dream or a drug-induced hallucination, and I think taking it longer would probably lessen the surreal sensation? Alcohol often hits people way more the second they're horizontal, and those two have had quite a few drinks by this point (though I'm saying nothing about whether they were horizontal, vertical, diagonal or anything else in their orientations), so this is not the perspective of a sober person who's had plenty of sleep.
Furthermore, though, I don't really like detailed sex scenes, in any medium. The characters hook up, and then head into the bedroom, and I kind of think the viewpoint shouldn't follow them in. We don't need to see them kissing more and undressing and stuff; we know what's going on and what'll happen next. If we're going to be in the same headspace as the characters, we kind of need to be aroused, and that's then disappointing if it doesn't lead to proper M-rated territory. And then becomes distracting for the rest of the story. Whereas if we're reading it when not at all in that mood, then it's just kind of awkward and you want them to skip to the next bit?
I’m excited to see where this goes; thanks for recommending it!
9780615 Thanks, I'm really happy you like it!
I have found the theme song.
Seems fitting to me at least.
~Skeeter The Lurker
It's a nice conjecture, but I think every other named character in the story proves her wrong here?
Ouch.
This was a surprisingly nice chapter for something with no Adagio in it
Nobody likes Wind Rider in either universe, do they?
9789760 I can see where you're coming from with that, eeyup I think that's a song I've possibly heard once before, skating just beyond the edge of familiarity in my memory
9789774 Oooh, good point. Um. Bear in mind this is several years before she met Adagio, so that one at least doesn't count?
Because the hot ones who aren't lacking in those areas become her friends, and so get thought of as more than just 'one of the hot ones' I don't think she'd deny Fleetfoot and Soarin are hot, but her instinct to see them as prey isn't there, so she doesn't think of them that way off the top of her head
I mean, she is literally called spit fire, so if she insults you, it burns.
Best I can do under those tragic circumstances!
9790062 No redeeming qualities, and the antithesis of everything a Wonderbolt is supposed to stand for, so, nope!
I think the best comeuppance is that in the second chapter Spitfire is worrying about being seen as the captain under whom the Wonderbolts lost their edge, so Wind Rider, who in FIM wanted to make his mark on the history books so badly he framed a pony, has been totally forgotten by that point. Even by her.
9790122
In the 90s, sure. Not quite as big as its album maybe All Star, though.
~Skeeter The Lurker
9790157 It's definitely All Star of theirs I remember, especially the live performance of it at the end of the movie Rat Race.
Actually I heard it again a little while ago in the form of an unconventional mashup that worked better than it ought to. At least the first verse
This chapter made me feel sincerely awful that there's not more of this pairing out there.
9803464 It needs so much more!
I was really happy with how this chapter turned out. I think I took quite a big break from writing this story between chapters 5 and 6, so I think the writing here is quite a bit better than some of the earlier ones
9803464
Very true. And easily fixed, but seldom as skillfully as this.
~Skeeter The Lurker
9803517
Skeeter, I'm really glad you're here
PFFFF! I'm sorry, I just had this wonderful mental image of Adagio shaving her head with a buzz saw.
Huh. That's an interesting perspective.
9804460
She would definitely need something pretty powerful! A conventional electric shaver would look at Adagio's hair and just stop working.
I don't know whether I should say this or not, but I know absolutely nothing about sports, and don't know anyone who plays them seriously. So it's all conjecture on my part, and I couldn't tell you if that's what it's really like. But I do know a bit about drive and dedication, and that's what Spitfire has in spades, so yeah, I think that's how she sees it
Wow, they are gonna be exhausted come morning.
9815631 If their union doesn't break time and freeze the universe in perpetual bliss, that is
dagi has fine taste in bling
these cheeto girlfriends are getting veeeeery spicy
9823896 As in the dress in the picture?
It's so beautiful! Unfortunately it was in a collection from 2015 I think, so not really available anymore. Wish I had bought one, though!
9823905 Glad you're enjoying it!
I can't really see this pairing being a thing that isn't spicy with enough sparks flying to illuminate at least a small province
9824889
they’re 100% like Cheetos though because I need more of them
9825018 We need so much more of them! There's only one other story published featuring this pairing on the site (at the moment, at least); I'd write lots more myself but this story took a very long time as it is
9825204
i'm always eager for some cheeto gf updates, then
Poor Spitfire's not gonna get any sleep tonight, is she?
9825606 It's really nice to be in a position where there are more chapters already written, rather than having to answer with 'Uh, just hang around for several months, and hope that I feel like writing more and don't get distracted by something else...'
9825826 I think 'beds used for sleeping' and 'beds containing Adagio Dazzle' are two completely separate things
9827160
Oof definitely
