Destiny moves us all, and for Celestia, it moved her down a single path: to bring order to the world. It was this purpose for existing that had been made known to her from the moment of her creation, and when she descended to Equestria, it was that mission which defined her entire being. So when faced with an offer from her homeland to exchange her free will for a thousand years of peace and order, the choice should have been easy.
Unfortunately, falling in love with a spirit of chaos was never part of the plan.

This is starting up nicely. There's an interesting and unique origin, the characterization is great, and the story flows quite well. It's a pity this doesn't have the attention it deserves.
4664960 Thank you so much! I read your blog post, and I really appreciate your support, especially since you were one of the authors who got me into Dislestia.
Again, thanks so much! 
OH MY GOOOOOOOD
that all is sooooo sad
You're an amazing writer I'm loving it so far keep up the amazing work
4682185 Don't worry, there's MUCH more of that to come. Bring a tissue next chapter.
4707070 Thank you so much! It's great to know you're enjoying it, and I hope the next chapters will leave you just as satisfied.
This story is absolutely fantastic. It's deep without being pretentious, and doesn't rely on the crutches that a standard romance story leans on. I can't wait to see where you go with this. Cheers!
4786848 Thank you! This is my first romance story, so I'm very grateful to know it's doing alright.
Welp, this is instantly going into my folder of stories that mentally scarred me in the best of way, so grats on that you jerk.
I'm going to go read some comedy or something so I don't end up going to be depressed...again...
i really cant describe how amazing this story is
omg
i just love it
4917117 Glad I've done my job.
4920139 Thanks.
By the way, nice profile pic. Dislestia definitely needs more love.
4920267 thanks :D i drawed it myself xD
AND YES IT DOES :D
is this story going to have a sequel??
4922602 Possibly, but not probably. Depends on how well I can write babies.
This is probably Dislestia at its best...
This was a joy to read. I can't thank you enough for writing it
5420937 I can't thank you enough for commenting! Dislestia's always been my OTP largely because of the remarkable art, music, and fanfiction the fans contribute, and I'm glad I was able to contribute something worthwhile as well. Thank you again, and Merry Hearth's Warming!
5581547 Oh my Celestia, thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
One of the best stories I've ever read.
So deep, dramatic and emotional... I don't know if to cry or smile at this chapter.
That sure was a beautiful ending, though. It's such a certainty that they are going to kiss that you don't even have to write it.
This is totally going in my favs. I think you did wonderfully in capturing a believable disclestia that had some serious world-building and a beautiful story. Disclestia needs more love, though I also feel that way about discolight; they are my two favorite discord ships and neither is above the other.
