Plot Bunny Theater: Ascension · 5:26am Jan 2nd, 2022
Alicorn ascension is a subject for a lot of fics, and it can be done badly. But it could also be done in interesting ways. For instance, by accident.
An Earth pony family digs deep into the Earth Pony Magic during foalbirth. Tapping into the magic of the Earth, as far as they can to keep their foal alive. And when he comes out, the foal... Ascended into an alicorn.
Princess Celestia is alerted to this by a photograph sent by mail. The photograph is of a alicorn foal, and a single word on a written letter:
HELP
How do Celestia and Luna handle helping this young alicorn grow and develop?
Depending on timeframe, "Alicorn foal? Again? Let's just send them a reply with "cousin" Flurry's photo and Cadance and Shining's contact info. Changing one alicorn-filled diaper was quite enough, thank you."

Yes, but in a few years that could be a handsome alicorn stallion for Celestia and Luna to... Get to know better...

Well that's why they say that they're a 'distant' cousin through very many generations.
They may end up fighting to be the "foal's mom". Though by the time the foal is a stallion those two may end up fighting again to bed him...

The second reason is precisely why they'd stay out of his business until he's old enough that it isn't weird.
