10720845 Were this a different story on a different account where I thought I could get away with it, I would've made Adagio 7' tall, bare minimum. I think an Amazon Adagio with this particular Aria would work very well, and I really considered making her like inhumanly tall.
10724459 As much as I would've enjoyed reading that, I can't blame you. This story is perfect as it is, and honestly this may be my favorite version of the Dazzlings as humans in this site. Even Adagio sounds so authentic to her character.
Also... this Aria having a dream about an amazonian Adagio on maybe a side story would be interesting.
Can't decide what describes Sunset better in this: a sociopath or a parasite? Probably sociopath with some narcissism since she seems to think that the only way someone could say "I love you" is by being dishonest about it and not genuinely loving them (or, at least, when it comes to Aria). She keeps taking and gives nothing in a relationship, but acts as if she's the who keeps giving (and maybe in her mind, she genuinely believes that she does).
Either way, it's clear she has no conscious and does not care about the things that she does or has done.
Sorry about ranting there. I could have just said "she's horrible" and left it at that, but people like her... ugh.
Great chapter, though! :)

10732508 I lean more towards parasite than sociopath, personally. That's just my interpretation though.
I actually prefer this more in-depth analysis of her character. It's easy to say Sunset is horrible, cause duh, that's obvious. What's harder is to put to words why she's horrible. Not just the actions she took that makes her awful, but the underlying psychology of why she is the way she is. And you're pretty much on the money, but there's one thing I want to correct you on a little.
Sunset has a conscience. Sunset isn't necessarily malicious, but she's so arrogant and narcissistic that she buys her own bullshit so hard that anyone who doesn't fall in line with her perception of reality must be the problem. How could she possibly be the problem? She's perfect.
Phenomenal new chapter. The scene between Sunset and Adagio--most importantly how Sunset systematically dismantles Adagio's confidence piece by piece without missing a beat--was really top notch. You nailed the narcissism angle perfectly. The way she calmly and logically laid out her argument and validated it was chilling because at no point was anything she said strictly 'incorrect', but the perspective it was being viewed, and told, from was so skewed that unless you were already looking for it, unless you already knew that Sunset was manipulative like that, then you'd buy it, hook line and sinker.
It was really refreshing, most of all, to see Adagio get shaken like that. Throughout this story she's been the one in control, she's been the confident one, and then one conversation with Sunset is all it took to knock the stones out from under her and drop her flat on her face. Sunset casually read her weakness and confronted her with them, all under a friendly guise.
Aw, what's wrong Sunset? Twilight not turn out like you hoped? Not like I can think of a better reason for you to show up and attempt to drive a wedge between Adagio and the one person you know you can control.
11019413 Not really, to be honest. But I'm still alive, and still working on IGO.
This story isn't gonna die, and if it does, I'll tell y'all. But I still have every intention to see this through. Hopefully soon, I'll have more time.
Yea, I really don't like this Sunset. Which is the point, so well done.
Wow is this version of Sunset a terrible person. The sex was hot too, by the way.
I really like how Sunset seems to play Adagio's game just as good as her, maybe even better.
Also, I love different sized partners, and the whole scene was perfect
Well. that was freaking hot.
So, screw Sunset, but not in the way she wants. ;p Also, very hot sex scene there at the end.

I'll run it by the other guy, see if he has time

Despite her being the parasite, she pegs Aria as one.
Classic narcissist behavior.

Can't wait to see where this goes.
Really digging this story, should have started reading it sooner

Sunset says it herself that things didn't work out between her and Twilight
10823079
I meant as in Sunset had less control than she was hoping for so she ran back to Aria to heal her bruised ego.
So when's the next chapter?
10852006
Hit a few snags, not totally happy with what I've done so far. Gonna take a bit to get it right. Shouldn't be too much longer

Sweet, thanks for the reply.
Hey, you doing okay?

Damn, her too!?
That's just a new kind of low for this b*tch Sunset!
