Welcome to the sequel. This will be a more free-and-easy sequence of peeks into Sip and Cirrus developing their relationship, now that they’ve actually admitted they have one.
This time I’m working with a buffer, so I have about 26k more words at least in first-draft state already. I’ll be releasing them at a slow pace that should give me a chance to keep the buffer filled. We’ll see how well that works out.
Since the first chapter here is fairly short, expect the next one already at April 30.
If you’re impatient for more sooner than that, I will still barter early access for useful prereading comments. Get in touch with me by PM if you’re interested.
A sequel!
Nice start so far, looking forward to see what will happen this time around.
Woohoo!
So happy to see more of these two!
Glad to see CTS actually continuing as a universe, and a good chapter!
Also, do i spy new Mani Art?
12162852
Alas, no -- only very old Maniart, her first suggestion for cover art for the original Dominant Creed. Young ingrate that I was, I rejected it because it didn't depict anything that happened yet in that story, but now the mood is finally right for it.

What is Maniart?
12170630
Art drawn by Manifest Harmony, founder of the Clocktower Society setting. She provided the cover art and several in-chapter inserts for the original Dominant Creed too.
This chapter is for Shrinky Frod, not quite 7 years in the making ...
Heh - always nice to see a little of things going both ways. And that she's quick to remind him that things she likes to take and he likes to give don't*have* to work in reverse.
Just fun when they can!
And this is for Lug13 (who has also helped with prereading and editing this sequel -- thank you!), just 4 years late.
OH MY GOD
FINALLY! someone posts about this universe again
YAAAAYYY!!!!!
12162852
Agreed
Seriously its been TOO LONG!
12170651
I do wonder where she is these days
Maybe she moved on from the fandom maybe she disappeared
But in the end she made this universe
And i love it!
though if you ask me kinda am disappointed how she made it feel like the friendship lessons were for nothing but i headcanon that they both keep the fire going
They're such sweeties!

So they are.
Very early in Dominant Creed's publication history, someone anxiously opined that Sip did not deserve to be stuck in a dead-end burger-flipping job forever. Unfortunately I don't remember who or where -- it doesn't seem to have been among the comments here on Fimfiction -- but whoever you were, if you're still out there, this is written with you in mind.
Okay, so Chapter 8 ¾ isn't quite canon after all: Dewpoint didn't come clean to Cirrus right away.
I didn't really want to make this real for the main fic, since I wanted to avoid the "absolutely everypony in Equestria are members of this secret society" trope. But here in the sequel I'm playing by somewhat looser rules.
Why isn't there an anthology tag?
12217654
Because, as it turns out, the chapters ended up depending on each other after all.
Originally I did think this would be more like an anthology of separate moments in their relationship -- but when I started writing, there turned out to be order dependencies between them. The meet-the-parents chapter will be more focused if he's already got a promotion offer. The promotion offer will be more organically motivated if it comes after the Baltimare outing. Etc. etc.
The next two chapters will in turn be fairly closely tied to the current one. After that, a new mini-arc might start, but if my current plans hold, even that will end up having some callbacks to this one.
So it's probably best to think of this fic as "just a story", where I'm pantsing it just a bit and not getting all worked up about whether I can see an ending that everything builds up to.
12217699
Whaddaya mean? Obviously the ending here is when they get invited into the program that, just like Clocktower, totally isn't real and doesn't exist no sir, that's just crazy talk!
12229485
Early in the development I did try to write out what it would be like if the breeding program were real. That turned out very dark and way too dubcon for the Clocktower Socitety ...

I'll admit, those same thoughts were my first clue that they were just funnin'.
