In Equestria, it was an unforgettable experience to meet a siren. Whether it was her beauty or her power, the danger of her fangs or the majesty of her song, those fortunate enough to escape would be scarred for the rest of their days.
Aria is no longer a siren, and hence no longer unforgettable.

This was a very well done piece. Congratulations
That was very sweet,
Always happy to see a story from you and this did not disappoint. Thank you so much. I think I have some things to think about now.
I like to think that, concurrently with this, the Aria and Sonata from Burnonomics are on their merry way to Crystal Prep
This is a spectacular worldbuilding moment, suggesting so much with so little
It might even have made a great short bio line, if you hadn't only recently changed yours 
Do we think, then, that with Adagio on their side, the sirens escaped having their feathers pulled out?
This is, of course, my favourite moment and line
Aww but you changed the silver spoon line
8524270
Yeah, but then I’d be quoting myself
Not sure how I feel about that, seems like it’d make for a bad first impression. Loved writing that line, though!
Who said she was on their side?
To be honest, I haven’t thought too much about this headcanon beyond what’s presented right here; I think I was abruptly smitten with this Adagio as I was writing that first scene, so I’d love to expand on it, if an opportunity arises 😍 Could go either way, I suppose. I think I mentioned this at one point, but bits of the background here came from bits and pieces cut out of that one other story thing we’ve been talking about, which is why I’m going to have to be pretty wishy-washy with this one.
I think that this creepy-and-still-kinda-sexy-but-mostly-just-creepy-witch/hermit-thing Adagio is easily my second (Or maybe first, even
) favorite rendition to write. That one line honestly makes me want to know what the rest of her story is.
Reluctantly. Very reluctantly. Not to say that I don’t adore the original, but it felt a little out of place to me, just a little too lewd in a story that’s otherwise occasionally vulgar but consistently chaste.
So really, it’s your own damn fault for telling me to take out that original first scene
8524221
You’re very welcome

Also had a bit of a SunAria itch come up lately, and I think this is the closest I’ll come to shipping them in the foreseeable future. Anyway, glad you liked it!
I felt like Aria needed some love after reading Bullets, so the timing was exceedingly convenient
8524090
I think I drew a tiny little bit more from personal experience with this one than I usually do. Glad to hear the final product was worth reading!
Thanks!

True, that would be tacky
I was thinking more like a book sometimes has a few lines on its inside cover as a teaser of what's to come, but perhaps it doesn't translate too well to short bio fields.
Then I shall ask nothing more on the subject
There weren't many details on what Aria was like as a siren without a gem, other than a dying soldier. So I figured the gem turned Adagio into a magical bioweapon of sorts, which led to the witch line.
I didn't so much get the creepy vibe as I did an intimidating one, but perhaps that was mostly the physical size of an Equestrian siren and the threat she potentially posed to a dying Aria (and did pose to the muse).
Bugger, I'd have suggested mentioning body parts elsewhere if I'd known
8524435
Agreed! I was a little curious about that actually
Hmm, the part about Aria wanting to burn down the school was probably funnier to me than it should have been, since I've been on this huge Heathers kick lately. Knowing Aria, I'm surprised she waited until the place was empty, especially if she was trying to make the news.
8524481
Yeah, I think it’d work a lot better there, because the cover usually has things about the story, whereas the bio field’s connected directly to the author
Although, I’m kinda sad I used that line there now, ‘cause I think it’d make a pretty freakin’ awesome description for a first-person story
I can see where you’re coming from
This was the line that made her more creepy, for me at least:
Ooo, I like that
And now I’m getting ideas
Too many ideas.
If you felt like writing a clopfic prequel, you could use the original line in a more literal sense
8524485
As much as I would love to say I hammered out 2.7 kilowords in one night as a direct response to your story, I’m afraid it was entirely coincidental. I think I started this one about two weeks ago, and worked on it on and off as something of a short break from a bigger project that I only got around to finishing recently.
So, uh... the short answer to that is, “It’s not that kind of story.”
But, to be honest, I like to think that Aria’s not entirely sold on the idea herself; notice that she pretty much loses interest once she finds out she’s not alone. She’s fairly resentful of Adagio, but I think she’s kind of going along with what she’d been told anyway, just because she has this vague idea of what she wants but no proper clue as to how she’s supposed to get it. If she were more committed to Adagio’s philosophy, then yeah, she’d probably have tried to work things out differently, but as it was she was basically grasping at straws anyway.
That’s how I like to see it, anyway.
8524573
I think this is a more innovative use on a character speaking in the present of their death in past tense, where as a first person description it suggests a ghost story or something? So I think it's better here, personally
I don't remember if I've ever read that angle before, it sounds vaguely familiar, but maybe it's just that I've read this one a few times recently?
8524573
Still, the timing was fantastic, intentional or not.
Hey, it's possible! That's how Bullets came to be
Yeah, we'll go ahead and blame my initial Heathers connection for that assumption
I also missed the part that it was happening at night haha. I figured it out once Sunset showed up.
8524657
8525153 I'm not sure you want to read that, any more than I want to write it
Cutlery & Cacti does have a certain ring to it, though...

now that was some enjoyable moments. oh the battle to be remembered, to make a mark...
or to not at all in glee!

Wow, it is weird to see notifications for this story popping up for me
While this, overall, is not my favorite of the stories I've published, there're a couple lines and bits here that I thoroughly enjoy
Adagio's "Leave a scar" line, in particular, is one of my favorite things I've ever made her say 
Anyway, I'm glad you liked it! It's nice to see comments trickling in even several months after publication
9034668
I’ve been a Shut down eye for a bit- but this was one of your stories i kept track of, just to see how it was. i recalled enjoying your other siren work so i hoped to enjoy this. and when the eye decided to open up, i picked this one up.
that there is a good line. hehehe!
9034678
Ah, okay. This one’s gotten a bit overshadowed by the other two I’ve published recently, I think, so it’s nice to see it getting a little more attention
Gruff, profane Aria is the best Aria.
9213726
P-people still read this one?
Also, lies. Gruff, profane Aria is the only Aria. Every other one is only a pale imitation.
9213921
All hail the One True Aria.
9213924
Yes. Hailing is what must be done to her.
She'll probably call us all cunts for doing it.
But that's why we love her

yesyes exactlyy
Ok, you totally got me with that quote.
Anyways, that was such a sweet story with a sweet interaction between Sunset and Aria. You earned my follow.
9230236
Thanks for reading
9230483
You're welcome.
9213921
I definitely read it, and I thoroughly enjoyed it at that! A pleasant way to enjoy the evening and take a break from trying to figure out what to do with myself! So thanks!
9658846
I'm glad people still manage to find this one now and then--I think I've done much, much better than this one, but there're at least bits of it I still quite like (I've always meant to write more of Adagio as she is in the first scene here, but never quite had the right story for it).
Thanks for reading, it was a nice surprise
Well now! This is certainly interesting! The Rainbooms don't make friends with the Dazzlings to "reform them". Instead, one of them (ironically the one often written to have the most hate for the 'booms) has a chance encounter with Sunset and all the right things are said for her to think about changing her life herself. I like this take on the idea!
