The Dazzlings are old. Really old. It's very likely they've gone on many adventures and done many different things in their thousand-years trapped in the human world.
For Aria, a family might well be one of them.
Written for the May Pairings Contest 2022!
Thanks for the pre-read by The Sleepless Beholder
Blazingly good :)
The reveal had me in stitches.
Good timing.
This is pretty wholesome
I love this. Wholesome, a tad sad, a bit hopeful and so curious about Aria history with her family that seem to hate her. I want all of that explored with the "cool" aunts comming over as well.
If it continues, I am kinda hoping for some drama but maybe a chance for Aria and the rest to reconnect with the rest of her family if you wish to take it in that direction.
Oh, also the Rainboom and other characters comming over to investigate and make a mess of things because it's what they do. It would give an outsider perspective to this puzzle and seeing then shocked at what they discover about their old ennemies. Maybe throw in a random magical item making a mess to justify all the Rainboom being present? I don't know...
And when I started reading this, I thought youbl were going to make Sonata and Pinky related... which seem likely now that I think about it... there are certain resemblances. Oh and Sonata would know too somehow but isn't telling Pinky for personal reasons.
Ya know I was thinking Adagio would be closer related because of big hair. but I guess aunt works aswell.
real wholesome there kinda sad too but still a nice story.

This short story is proof that Hasbro should’ve made a miniseries centered around a not-very-reformed Dazzlings. Exploring their lives on the EG world is a story begging to be told.
Thank you for also featuring Best Kirin.
Delightful stuff with some ingenious ideas sprinkled in. I especially love the origin of the Starswirl Music Festival's name. I'd love to see more of this, especially Aria meeting Springfall. I imagine there's quite a story behind her estrangement from her family. (And I can only imagine what any Dazzles and Dusks might be like. Sonata may well be Twilight's ancestor...)
Great work all around. Thank you for it and best of luck in the judging.

Glad everyone seems to think this is wholesome!

I do wonder if Wallflower's hair might be the result of a certain ancient poofy-haired magical ancestor...

scribbles notes furiously
This is genius.
Hmmm, Aria and Autumn, surprisingly good combo, plus background for the music festival fun for Sunset ...

Do the thing!
This rocks! More please

Hasbro has never cared about storylines, just product and marketability.
the fact that the most recent movie and the last gen were good was purely against their will
“It can’t be a coincidence.”
And it was. The end.
That was nice :)
Looks like we got some more people for the "kick Starswirl in the balls" lineup.
Buen One shot (espero serialización) un poco extraño que Aria tenga una extensa descendencia pero no lo más extraño, parece buena idea... aunque aun no entiendo (aunque creo que lo hago) como Sonata termino con pinkie (aunque pinkie es pinkie) seria interesante como reaccionan las Raimbooms, también me da curiosidad porque Los Blazes odian a Aria, es porque dejó el restaurante y la familia o algo más oscuro?
What an interesting concept. I thought about doing an Aria and Autumn story once, but it didn't go past the title of "A Tale of Two Blazes." Pretty wholesome story. Nice job.

Oye, cuando tienes mil años, tienes que pasar el tiempo de alguna manera. Creo que Pinkie mencionó ser amiga de Sonata en el especial de invierno de EqG. Traductor de Google para la victoria!

...
Dangit, that's a good one.
This was a pretty nice exploration of the "immortal Dazzlings" idea, and it was sweet to see Aria have to deal with her descendants. The family relationships here, including with Auntie Adagio, were a lot of fun.

thanks for the explanation
Great story! I really want to see more of this.
This was a good short story.
This was cool. I've had a podering or two of "what if, the sirens had descendents?"
This was a well thought out story.
This was amazing!!!!! I always imagined they either started a few cults caused the fall of the Roman empire or had sex and have many descendants around the world
hehe classic Sonata
a second one?
ahaha, i was wondering how the two would be related given Aria being centuries old!
hehe, fun way to have the kirin’s counterparts keep their unimpressed frowns
i can definitely see her and Autumn Blaze getting along
Tuck Everlasting? i remember that book!
aww, i love this explanation for how the festival was named! certainly something that should get a reaction from the Sirens
she said the thing! i love the thing! it is also very funny to imagine Aria Blaze of all people saying it, haha
also glad the portable toaster got a backstory, love that thing
that fish sure does love tacos!
definitely a brilliant pairing, explaining the common surname between two very different characters, not to mention filling in some fun details about Sunset’s Backstage Pass, and showing what lies beneath Aria's grouchy exterior. great stuff!
anymore stories in this universe? I would REALLY LOVE to see more!
This is really sweet! I always love when people play with the shared last names some characters in MLP have.
I have to ask, is this by any chance a reference to the Tuck Everlasting musical that I'm fairly certain only six people in the world have heard of?
