[Inspired by Aurora Dimment for the first two Chapters, and TheMyth for the last two.] To Err is Equine. That is a truth for all ponies, but no more so than Celestia. What happens to Twilight when the mask of perfection is removed? This fic explores the darkerside of Celestia's past. Her mistakes and failures and how it shapes her future, and the lives around her.

Pre-reader: TheMyth
Inspirations: Aurora Dimmet for chapters 1 and 2. TheMyth for the idea doing this story, the last two chapters and making a She Said No done right. Which is a third inspiration for the story, and gets massive a shout out in chapter 4. Since the let down of it's second chapter is what got this whole fic rolling [no offense meant].
Aside: This fic was 40% Inspiration and 60% me pushing myself as an author. Seriously one of the most hardest pieces I had to write on an emotional level, and was in parts physically painful to write. I hope I did this fic justice, any thoughts, comments, or critiques of this piece are welcome.
I like it. No human or pony has to errors.
You write a sad fic and I am not directly credited as an inspiration this is an outrage hi do you think you are!?!?!? But in all seriousness I really enjoyed this chapter it was just the right amount of feelsy to get me interested but not so feelsy that I'm emotionally destroyed by just this chapter I'll definitely be keeping my eye on this one while you decide to keep it going
Feels punch feels punch feels punch aaaannnndd......feels punch. What a beautiful chapter this was I particularly enjoyed your explanation of the Sunset Shimmer incident I thought it was a good direction to go with that character and I'm loving all the character you've added into Celestia with this. And now to wait for what I'm sure is a gut wrenchingly feelsy chapter
