Everyone deserves a second chance.

That's what Twilight Sparkle told them when she first came over, and left a broken, remorseful Sunset Shimmer in their tender care. Taking her words to heart, they took her into their circle friends, giving her a gift that can't be priced... a gift that saved them in their darkest hour against their worst foes yet.

Months later, Sunset Shimmer is a changed mare, and the Rainbooms are finally, seemingly, able to rest on their laurels. Until, an old foe returns... but not the same as she was before. Things have changed, and the Rainbooms may have another chance to give the gift that had so enriched their own lives... and restore hope to someone who feels as though deserve nothing.

Sonata comes home on Mother's Day with presents for Adagio. Needless to say, Aria is confused.

A fun, short piece in honor of Mother's Day in the UK. Teen rating for bad language. Part of The Dazzlings Watch Monster Movies continuity, but can be read on it's own. Cover art used with permission by DilEmmas4U.

Without their voices, the Sirens can't cast any magic.
And without their magic, the Sirens can't survive.
Adagio is well aware of this, and even though Aria abandoned them, she's trying her hardest to take care of Sonata - she knows it won't be long before they succumb to their hunger and starve.
There's only one person who could help - Sunset Shimmer. But would Sunset and her friends be willing to help, after everything the Dazzlings had done? Will the Sirens find a way to survive, and finally get their sweet atonement?

Spin off story: Aria Ablaze

Cover art by me.
Rated T for mentions of sex and swearing.
This fic was inspired by 'Sweet Atonement' by Xandria. I'm only using the title because I think it fits really well and I like the song.

Time has passed since the Battle of the Bands, where Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer and the rest of the Rainbooms blasted the Dazzlings' power source into oblivion, ensuring that they would never hurt anyone again.

Adagio reflects on her current situation after a night of work, and remembers ancient siren beliefs about the moon. And what a perfect night it is, to maybe, make a wish.

Inspiration can come from strange places, especially when you're as depressed as Adagio. At this point, she'll celebrate her victories, no matter how small or how shallow they may seem. Even a little trip to the mall could help.

Contains: self-deprecating talk, depressive habits, slight suicidal thoughts
