Aria Blaze is a former siren with a love of violence and anger issues. Wallflower Blush is a quiet and easily forgotten girl that gets embarrassed easily. The two have been dating for a while. So the two of them decide to spend the day at the beach together. While there, Wallflower thinks about their relationship, and how the two of them are affecting each other.

Aria did not really kiss very often, being far more inclined to biting.

This I can very much see being the case :eeyup:

This was a nice look at a unique ship! Aria as a whirlwind of attitude and violence is always a joy to behold, and I think Wallflower was pretty good here too. Sadly I think the most interesting thing about Wallflower was taken away from her at the end of Forgotten Friendship, but in the absence of her magic powers you still made her stand out from other characters :twilightsmile:

That said, I think there could have been more about what it was that each saw in the other, especially what someone as plain as Wallflower did to attract the interest of the beautiful, ancient siren. And I can't help lamenting that you didn't write Aria x Limestone instead :twilightoops:

Still, sensible Adagio was nice, as was Aria's priorities at the end :pinkiehappy:

It’s always fun to see new ships being explored :pinkiehappy:

While I kinda like the image here, I think it got a bit muddled for me when it got to that talk at the end, where it’s a lot about how Aria’s changed after dating Wallflower and nothing at all in the opposite direction, which didn’t really sit right with me. It’s a bit understandable, I suppose, since they were talking about Aria’s therapy and stuff, but that still kinda bugged me. So while I was liking the dynamic they had for the rest of the story, that bit detracted from the relationship for me.

This bit, though:

It turned out that Aria cared less about having her breasts exposed than she did winning a race. So she won easily.
Although Aria did say she was proud of Wallflower for using such an underhanded tactic.

:pinkiehappy:

Honestly, I'm still working out how they met. I know that it was Aria who made the first moves, and all that, but the specifics are still uncertain right now.

As for Aria and Limestone, I'm not sure if I could effectively write it. At least in a way that is similar to how they were in Brains and Brawlers. While two angry and anti-social girls picking at, insulting, and always threatening each other is fun as a background story, but I don't now how I would be able to write it as an actual story without it seeming toxic and hurtful. I'm sure it's possible, but I'm not confident I can write them as total assholes who genuinely care for each other.

The therapy is unrelated, and court mandated. I probably could have worked that in if I thought about more, but as it was, it never came up in a way that seemed natural.

As for the relationship, I'm sorry if the talk muddled things for you or such. However, in answer to your point, it has kind of affected both of them. Although I don't mention it directly, like I did with Aria and her temper, dating Aria has made Wallflower become more confident in herself and able to stand up for herself more. Such as how she stepped in to keep Aria from beating someone up. For both of them, though, it's a slow process, so neither are fully aware of it without it being pointed out to them.

I dig it, would love to see more of these two

9178079 For me the question wasn't so much how, but why. What does Aria value in Wallflower that she couldn't find in anyone else? What does the quiet human girl offer to the siren who's lived in the spotlight for centuries?

Fair enough, if you don't think you're the right person to write that kind of relationship, I quite understand, and it's good to acknowledge that :twilightsmile:

Two best EG villains... interesting.

(Not counting Sunset coz I hated her as a villain and only love her once she's reformed. Well, then there IS Midnight Sparkle, so I could say two of the best three)

(Speaking of Sunset I hated what Wallflower did to her but I do kinda like her. Maybe just coz she has Blush in her name, I don't know)

You can''t get much better than this. Just, Aria and Walflower, I never would have though t it possible. Yet, here I am, reading it and I love it. And no it's not becuase I love Aria almost as much as Trixie.

Ok I haven't read this, i"ll probably comment after I do but I just wanted to say....how glad I am that there's another person In the world who thought about this ship ....

It occurred to me while thinking how would Aria look or be like if defending someone vulnerable (Don't ask why cause i don't even know) and then wondering if she had a friend like that that was important to her....obviously my first thought was Fluttershy but I was like "Nah....TOO shy" and then I thought about wallflower, and that I liked how she was shy and a bit vulnerable but that her personality was actually a bit like Aria's but not quite....I don't know, I sort of liked the idea....

Who made the cover art?

Ambris. If you're on a computer, you can put the mouse icon over the image, and a source link should pop up. Don't know how it works on touchscreens.
