5688579 When Celestia went to sleep, she went to sleep. I made it seem as if she only closed her eyes for a few seconds. Her sister has been dead a few years now. The Immortal lives they had were still canon. I just forced one character: Celestia to kill the other character: Luna. This is the more realistic take on things. The "sleep" in the song references her death and that now Luna can be at peace. Aubade is a french word (or so it said) and it means a song, usually sung for a lover/or loved one in the dawn or time of morning. Celestia can't cope with this because she knows her duties and loyalties bound her to her people, just as she protected them from her sister. She cannot cope because she knows her immortality prevents her from seeing her sister ever again. The dream is a representation of her sister falling to darkness, knowing that this could have been prevented, she just didn't know how to look for it. hope this clarifies things.

5701446 I say that because it didn't grab but a few peoples attention. Sex sells. That is a big rule in many, many advertisement campaigns. A lot of clop gains more attention, quicker as well. Look at patterns and you'll see. Not to say that non-clop stories don't gain attention, just it's hard to become one of those.

The story revolves around inference and deduction. If following canon, her sister went dark and decided to cause destruction. There was no magic presented before you as well as being humanized. A more realistic take because a single girl couldn't have done all of that. How? Yes, how. That's left up to you. The song tells the tale perfectly because it falls under the canon. This story is a humanized, realistic take over the "rainbows and sunshine" the canon draws. Yes, her sister is dead, not 'magically banished'. Its real. The emotion was easy to put into, quite naturally. I had to draw back for the sake of the story. The back story is right in front of you. Literally, the only variable is how she got it done.

Aubade as per: Dictionary.reference.com
1. A piece sung or played outdoors at dawn, usually as a compliment to someone.
//
1. A song or poem appropriate to or greeting the dawn.
Its a french word.

At dawn, when Celestia defeated her sister, as per the cover art (even though iz pony, ik). Dawn, when in the song, Luna should go to "SLEEP" since she sleeps during the day. She sang a song appropriate to what "Dawn" meant to her. Dawn meant many things to her, the last time she saw her sister, the time she'll have to remember killing her sister, for her sister was in favor of the night (even though she had no control over it due to her being a human being. Its more of a deduction from realism to canon. Celestia is to day as Luna is to Night. Plus the why is irrelevant due to this being a take on Celestia's thoughts and feelings. She feels guilty, she feels horrible like its her fault that she didn't see the signs and recognize them. That's what the song is about and damn well what is implied in the canon. This is a story of emotion. Background information can very well be skipped if it has been provided beforehand and through inference.

5703009 Don't delete the story. You're going through the same depression I went through. Just drop your expectations to abyssmal levels and ignore the sex stuff.
