This story is a sequel to We Finally Did It
After a slight misunderstanding about how far Sandbar and Yona have taken their relationship, Ocellus and Smolder contemplate how far they want to take their own.
Thanks to Rated Ponystar for writing the fic this story launches off of and for permission to post this, and to Trinary for giving me the idea in the first place!
If you're curious about the chapter title, I was listening to this on loop while writing it.
It doesn't have much to do with anything, but on the other hand, I love this song.
Oh, and this is Trinary's comment that inspired the story.
Yay! I am OVER THE MOON!
Smocellus OTP!
GOOD SHIT
sensual and intimate
the dynamic is dynamic as hell, the back and forth here is great
thanks for writing
That leaves with Gallus and Silverstream.
I love the ambiance of this story.
Whose
Damn, this is good. You knew what was going on without it being explicit.
Huh... well, this was an unexpected surprise. A good one, I think, if maybe ending a bit too abruptly.
Never quite took you for such a tease.

Unexpected for me too. This was one of those occasions where I read something (thanks again, Trinary) and the whole thing popped into my head. I just needed to refine it a bit.
Personally, I thought I teased quite a bit back with In the Heat of the Moment, at least at times. Though that was also a pretty explicit story too, I suppose. I've actually been considering an Ocellus/Smolder story anyway, although that would have been mixed in with adventure, and would also feature a certain deuteragonist.
But I have a lot on my plate right now.

Thanks! I actually like romance a lot, and it was kind of fun to step out of my usual adventure and/or slice-of-life wheelhouse, even if it was only for a single brief scene.

Thanks a ton! Though truth be told if not for this story of course launching off of a Yona/Sandbar one, and Yona/Sandbar being officially canon, I think I'd probably ship Sandbar and Gallus. Also when they were first introduced my natural inclination was for Silverstream, Yona, and Smolder to not really be shipped with anyone, while Ocellus as a shape shifting emotion-eating Hive creature just has a...very different...view on romance. But over time I've come around to Yona/Sandbar, and I've read too many good Smocellus fics to not come around to the coupling.

Speaking of good Smolder/Ocellus fics (even if Temple of Truth isn't a romance) - senpai noticed me~!

And once more with feeling, thanks for spontaneously inspiring me.

I would pay SO much money to see that!!!
Also, I just want to observe that nearly a week after posting, this story is still dominating the popular stories list.

Wheee!!
"It is also an awkward fact that they keep half an eye open while they sleep, if they are suspicious."
Oooh, now there's an interesting magical parallel. Or a metaphor, but what's the difference really?
They're like Turians in that way. And Occellus, delicate... more than a dragon sure, but she *is* a shapeshifter you you're feeding magic as we speak...
Ah, there we are. Well.
They're certainly going to have a lovely night aren't they.

I think you mean Burning Love(bug) :p
*looks at the intro* Sandbar and Yona… I wonder how... *one trip to Furaffinity later* Ohhhhhhh… kinky!
I wonder if Ocellus and Smolder will get into domination games. One day, Ocellus plays a helpless little Crystal Pony in the clutches of a ravenous dragon, the next Ocellus morphs into a huge roc intending to gobble up the poor young dragoness.

Probably! But I like to think that at least for their first time it was just them as they are.

Wow. This was just plain awesome from start to finish!
My only regret is only just now getting to this. Excellent work!
Adorable one shot story.
Eeeeee!
That is all.

There’s a spiritual prequel if you like: Trouble in Tiatarta. It’s not directly in-continuity but it can be thought of as what it took for Smolder and Ocellus to reach this point.
Also Queen Chrysalis is in it! Surely that has nothing to do with anything, though.
Well this was awesome.
This was just delightful!
We Finally Did It was enjoyable, but Ocellus in particular seemed off. This story rectified that, and then used that characterization to transition the previous comedy story into delightful bit of romance between two characters who I have grown very fond of -- both separately and as a couple.
I totally see her doing this. Having the snake close the door with her tail was such a nice touch.
That makes so much sense! And makes her reaction in the first story make more sense retroactively.
Oh gosh! I can absolutely imagine my story's Smolder doing this one day.
Wow. Just... wow! A lot of your descriptions of Smolder -- including but not limited to this line -- manage to make her intensely sensual.
All of the yes!

Glad you enjoyed it! There is a further spinoff, "Wait, What Kind of 'It'?", by Trinary. This story also served as a sort of prototype to how I handled Ocellus and Smolder in Trouble in Tiatarta, although that story focused on the beginning of their relationship. And also Chrysalis because I have a complexity addiction.
A fun read for sure.
Quite a lot more sensual than the first in the series. You made these two work shockingly well.
BRUH. 👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥
Yay, i love it when these two get shipped togegher and it is in a nice fan fic~♡~Adorabobles!‿!
Well, didn’t expect that. I guess dragons have their own form of wingboner.
