do I exist? Do you exist? Maybe neither of us exist, but instead simply are. crackers.

Dear Celestia-

I`m all alone. You know the feeling, right?
Having lost everything. Your friends, your parents...
I`ve lost it all. Even Spike`s gone.
This may be the last time I write to you, Celestia.


teen for the fact this is a suicide story.:applejackunsure: Enjoy!

The formatting's slightly painful, but the story itself... whao

Even though it's short, oh so very short, it feels satisfying. There's no tension between Twilight and Celestia. They're accepting of Twilight's decision. It's kinda heart-warming :pinkiesad2:

I think some kind of frame around the story would have been useful, rather than just the letters theirselves. It feels kinda unpolished. Other than that, though, I kinda liked it :pinkiesmile:

6260392 Thank you~:twilightsmile:

I would have done something around the letters, but I felt like it`d be useful to experiment with a letter POV only story~

Uhm... First: I am no fan of suicide-stories. Therefore I am glad you tagged this in your description.
So I glanced the story only. But you should look for your line-indentions. They seem to be really off. I don't know if this is on purpose or a matter of different viewer-settings. But you should check for this.

6260470 Thank you~:twilightsmile:

Yeah, when use the auto indent (meester says I have to) it messes the thing up for some reason.:applejackunsure: I don`t know why, but then when I tried to fix the bottom where the name goes

Like your stalker, starlight - it took me many tries to fix it to look normal:applejackunsure:

I`m trying to fix that~:twilightsmile:

"Dear Princess Celestia.

I first wanted to let you know that Twilight's OK, my ship managed to reach her in time after I heard what was happening. Twilight seems calmer now since I talked to her and I will bring Twilight to Canterlot tomorrow.

I wanted to ask you the same question I asked Twilight; did I ever tell you how old I am? Well in case I didn't, I can tell you that I'm....well... actually not sure. I sort of lost count around 5,000 years (which is a little embarrassing) - I guess when you are a Wolf-Spirit that kind of thing comes with the territory. I too have loved and lost more times than I can count. It still hurts just as much each time I see it happen again.

But a very long time ago, when I was still young, I was told something important, and I wanted to tell you - as I have told Twilight - what I learnt.

While there are many stories and theories which give us hope about what is to come, no-one actually knows for certain what happens...after. Least of all immortals like myself, because we've never been there and probably never will. As an immortal I also bear the curse of a future forever destined to watch everyone I know pass away.

But one day, someone very wise and powerful told me that just living a long time doesn't make you truly immortal. It took me some time to figure out what they meant, but eventually I realized that it didn't matter if you lived forever or not, nor did it matter what happened after. What mattered was whether people remembered you - if you couldn't make a difference to anyone else's life any longer, alive or not - everything you ever did or accomplished, good or bad - fades away and is eventually forgotten. The only real way to become truly immortal was to do something so important you couldn't be forgotten, something that ensured your story would be always be passed on to those who come after. Gravestones will break or erode away with age, books are lost or are destroyed over time - but I have often found an important idea or a precious memory can last longer than solid diamonds.

Why do I tell you this you ask? Well, I realized that immortals like myself have a somewhat unique position in that regard. While we will always lose those closest to us, we have in exchange a rare honour; the ablity to give those we lose something which is far more precious. How many ponies do you remember from your past Princess? How many stories can you tell of ponies who did great deeds or had rare talents with which they accomplished great feats? Anyone can look at a history book and tell you who designed Canterlot Castle and when. You on the other paw can tell them who carved the stones, who lived there, what their favourite parts of the castle were, what the funniest things that happened there were and so on. That is the solace that allows me to continue. The knowlege that Immortal life is a gift, just one you must give to others to truly enjoy.

In your letter you spoke of the memories you share with Twilight. As I told Twilight, as long as she lives and remembers her friends they never will be completely gone forever, as it is for those who you and I remember. You are the keepers of what made them the ponies they were. And more importantly, as your letter showed (and now mine) - neither of you are alone. And as long as both of you have your memories of your friends and each other (and Luna) - you never will be.

Best Regards

Blue Wolf

6261294 Awesome alternate epilogue/ letter!:rainbowkiss:

That was truly amazing, thank you for taking your time to post it here!:twilightsmile: I really like it too, you saved Twilight :3

I wonder why ponies don`t like this story...
Please place the errors of my ways in the comments! This was a practice story any way though, so.... Yeah.:twilightsheepish:

I love and hate this story because of what it make me feel
Having thinking about suicide not long ago,this story make me remember some of the shit i've been through:fluttercry:
Im glad I've move on.:fluttershysad:

good story though:twilightsmile:

6261684 Thanks, and sorry for the memory.:twilightblush:

This was a pretty decent fic, a lot of grammatical errors but I don't care about that, the message was good, the idea was good, the delivery could of been better, and the pacing was a little rushed and a little "I'm so sad because I'm sad and the reason I'm sad is because I'm sad" but this was still as I said a decent fic, certainly doesn't deserve all the dislikes, especially because no one commented on why they disliked it, they just disliked it, so all and all, not bad but not fantastic, looking forward to how you improve in the future :twilightsmile:

6262521 Thank you!~:twilightsmile:

Yeah i`ve been writing all kinds of really short fics just to practice~ And thanks, that means a lot to me, too!~:rainbowkiss:

Any grammatical errors I have in here, please tell me in the comments so I can make this a decent story!:scootangel:

Very nice, got me right in the feels.

6265333 THANK you so much!~:pinkiecrazy:

"Don`t worry. Just rest now.

Rest, Twilight." No! no! No! Just No!!!!!!

I am very depressed right now:ajbemused:

*Sigh*:facehoof: I gotta do it.

Trollin Trollin, Trollin Like Ah Boss~
Trollin Trollin, Trollin Like Ah Boss~
Yes You Are, Trollin Like Ah Boss~~

Have a nice eternity, ya Troll (I'll probably be joinin ya :trollestia:)

6274449 trollin like a boss~:trollestia:

6274935 shouldn't this have a slice of life tag? This is a thing (ignoring the immortality)

6275283 oh yeah.... I`ll do that:twilightsheepish:

6275643 trust me your not the only one, i think this thing I'm writing might need a slice of life tag, but then again it's gonna be really out there so I'm not sure.

6275659 what`s it called? I might be able to tell you, but then again, I messed up on my story tags~:twilightblush:

6275865 "A Psycho's Splash", has nothing to do with splashing or killing though so good luck guessing by name, cause i haven't even posted anything yet :trollestia:

6277258 ... Um, your right about that.

I can only try when it`s done, and then get it wrong while at it. I suppose Foxy here can`t help either. :trollestia:

6277903 vampony mare x straight mare ship fic.

(Straight as in sexuality)

6277962 yeah, I`m pretty sure that`d be slice of life, if not, it`s not like many ponies would really care. But i`m pretty sure a ship fic, depending on the drama of it, would be slice of life.

But i`d ask someone whom truly knows, for example the psychopath. he would probably know, maybe even with out reading the story!:scootangel:

Really good, but some grammatical errors...

6308508 thank you! Yeah, the grammatical errors are from my lack of skill. (I`m pretty sure)
Still, thank you!~:heart:

Pretty decent exchange between Twi and Celly here.... I've seen Twilight suicide fics where Celestia is ok with it before, the story's strength here comes from when they reminiscence (I USED A BIG WORD HOLY SHIT) about fond memories and what they will do when they meet up on the other side (if there is an other side in this fic or if its just words of comfort I'll never know for sure.... I'm not good at picking up heaven references in stories :fluttercry:).

That being said, because of the short length of this fic: this one strength tugged at my feels for about 3 minutes total before the story ended (almost 10 minutes if you count the few minutes spent thinking about what I just read, what I would do in that situation, how it could of ended for better-or-worse, etc) :eeyup:. I feel like adding more words and keeping the majority of this story about looking back on two full lives with one about to have a bittersweet end would make this fic damn-near perfect for making a jaded bastard like me feel for characters I spend the majority of my time on this site thinking about their depression and deaths. Have more words so we can see Celestia spending a longer length of time comforting Twilight with promises of meeting her in the afterlife that may/may not exist in your version of this universe..... this change would make a reader learn more about what is lost and give the story more time to tear down our manly tears dam :raritycry:.

I also like how you never explain how an alicorn might go about killing itself. I feel like there is no winning when you make up a way instead of leaving it up to the reader.... I've seen too many stories where the complaints about how alicorn death can't work range from having it be too gruesome for the sake of shock value all the way to the age-old "they are gods therefore they don't die" (which would beg the question of what the hell happened to the royal parents then or where the fuck does Fausticorn fit into all of this and then it all just becomes a mess of fanboys preaching their headcannons at the top of their lungs to others without realizing a fanfiction site isn't meant to have a one true cannon anyways... this rant can go on forever). If you ever feel compelled to have another whack at this fic then this part of my review is up there in terms of importance for me.... but at the same time: I'm a nobody that left a long review on a fanfic about Twilight killing herself.

That leads me to my next point.... look at the size of this review (623 words total).... this fanfic you wrote left a hell of a fucking impact on me despite its one shortcoming. You made me think long and hard about what I just read. The stories that leave me thinking about what I would do if I was there, how it could be different, what would other characters think in the various situations I think of, the aftermath, etc are what I treasure the most.... it doesn't matter how much I love or hate the subject matter: if I stop and think for this fucking long over one story (at least a half hour now) then there is clearly something there that is thought-provoking enough to warrant a follow, favorite, thumbs up, and glowing/pissed off review (glowing in your case :heart:). I see the emotes haven't changed in the several months since I've hopped on and read something so expect dry use of emotes on this long review.

6310220 wow. thank you so much! That means a lot to me, and about the wording, I was trying to aim for around 2,000 to 3,000 words... I ended up HAVING to add 500 for some odd reason.:applejackunsure:
(lack of imagination that day?)
I may go back and add more, though right now i`m busy with two other stories (FNaF ones).:scootangel:

I`m glad you liked it!
I didn`t really think many bronies would, considering this is a practice fic. Thank you!~:twilightsmile:

6310841
Not a problem, dude. Good luck with your fics then.... Not a huge FNaF fan (mostly because I've never played the games yet), so I'll have to save those for when I actually install the games.

You uploading those to another fanfiction website or are those mlp crossovers for FimFiction?

6331127 there Mlp crossovers~:twilightsmile:

6331597
Alrighty then.... thanks for telling me.

I really liked this story! Emotions were definitely there, but there was one constant problem that bugged me.

You kept saying 'your' instead of 'you're'.

'Your' refers to owning or being in possession of something.
'You're' is a conjunction of 'you are'. Referring to a person.

6499683 I'm glad you liked it!

And yeah, after I made this story- actually after a few more recent stories is when I actually fixed my grammar. I may go back and edit it sometime though:twilightsmile:

6499709 That'd be good, it's just it's a...kind of minor, but glaring error that stuck out to me and took me out of the emotional experience.

6499738 I can see it doing that, too~:twilightsheepish:
Truly, thank you for the heads-up. And if I can, I'll make sure to go back and fix it:twilightsmile::scootangel::raritywink:
