A year has passed since the fateful night - and day - of Luna's return. Regret and insecurity plague her still, but slowly and surely, she is getting better. A sister's love proves itself a treasure in trying times.
Patience, forbearance and a sense of humour to brighten dark moods help, too.

Eeei.... Very much enjoyed this. I'm a big fan of portrayals of Luna and Celestia with a focus on their sister dynamic. Can see a good deal of my own relationship with my sister between them.
Both were characterized beautifully and true to how I imagine they would act in the situation presented here—which, might I add, was an amusing surprise when I got to the reveal of what Luna was upset about.
Loved it!
Ahh, that hit the spot. Who doesn't like little windows into the day-to-day of Two Best Sisters?
This was especially charming! I believe I most loved this passage:
Nice, feel good stuff... Thanks for writing it!
Daaw...
I was looking for something cute when this did show up.
Thank you.
Awww... my heart...

Look there, it's my heart, all melted in a puddle...
That was great.
I also particularly liked this bit. Given the length of Luna's absence, I could see Celestia reacting like this for a fairly long time to come.
I love stories like this.
The "SPF" of this story is almost dangerously high. A very cathartic and cute story- I particularly liked Celestia's tongue-in-cheek diatribe on the various "Evil Celestia" names. Sun Burn really is a pretty good villain name XD
Awwwwww! That was so beautifully sweet!
Haha! "a younger Hoof". I really enjoyed your take on Celestia's humor throughout this story, and you captured her regal gentleness wonderfully too. You also well conveyed how Luna's displeasure could be more than a little intimidating to the average pony, and the idea that the sisters could alter time perception to have a much needed moment away from prying eyes was a stroke of genius! This was a lovely read! Thanks so much for sharing!
You can has review!
This was excellent! You nailed both Luna and Celestia perfectly. Their interactions are great and the story has such a neat setup and charming conclusion. I disliked absolutely nothing about this. Well done!
