Princess Luna, as Twilight has discovered has a rather curious habit. She likes to take long walks in the rain, and to be honest? Twilight isn't really sure she minds such a thing. Rain, as it turns out, is calming and a perfect way to ruminate on many matters...

Might work better the last few bits if you ever said Twilight was a boring old unicorn or an alicorn. Cause if she's an alicorn.
Then she isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

It's meant to be heavily implied there are two types of Alicorns here, ones like Cadence and such and ones like Luna and Celestia. Truly ancient immortal gods.
Twilight is the former, one who ascended but will never be the immortal god type.

That is a lame classification the fandom came up with that I wish would go fucking die already. No I'm not sorry about the language.
Really the only difference I see is that sunbutt and moonbutt were born alicorns, as was Flurry Heart, and Twilight and Cadance ascended.
Yes I am venting. But this is dragging up fannon I hate.
Nice. Maybe not really in the spirit of the Hearth's Warming season, but it's still a nice story. Yeah, maybe a little sappy, but sometimes sappiness is what makes the romance work. Thanks for writing this.

That's kind of hypocritical from some one with the bio "Show canon only matters if you let it" since defying, tweaking, and trying to play with canon and coming up with ideas that are different is exactly with fan content is for. It's only bound that some of those ideas will catch on.

Eh, yeah I will admit it's not exactly holiday stuff but I'm not the only one who did something non-holly jolly for the exchange. I mean Trick's gift to me was decidedly not holly jolly in any way at all. Still worked though. Go give it a read eh? Plus, I've already fulfilled my original Christmas story quota with the story I intended to give to you before I realized you wanted Luna. But yeah, sap makes the world go round! And here I was worried you'd hate it.

Case in point, Derpy Hooves and the like. She wouldn't be half as successful as she is if we hadn't adopted her really for lack of a better word into out fanbase.

That doesn't mean I have to like certain things this fandom comes up with.

Derpy I see as only really popular in the fandom. Hasbro barely did anything past a few appearances. And I still don't really care at all about her.

Of course not, but of all the ideas that came out of the fandom, that’s one of the most inoffensive ideas.
And it’s handled pretty well as a secondary element in the story.
(It’s also someone’s gift.)
Funny thing is: I stay indoors sooo much... and basically always annoy everyone with nitpicking about everything if I actually have to go outside... like 'its to warm', 'its to cold', 'its to sunny', 'its to windy', whatever else... but while I'd never intentionally walk outside into the rain... I do sometimes like being caught in it. I do like to feel wind mess up my hair. On the rare occasion, I actually to like sun gracing my skin. And rain... I remember only a single instance where I walked in warm rain. What a unique experience that was. But even walking in cold rain has something... well, 'refreshing' is the wrong word. Freeing? Like you'd be able to let go. Of whatever you want to or need to.
The story was beautiful. Their interactions were spot-on, everything's fine, but. Always with the but(t)s. I feel like there's no resolution given. Which might've been what you were going for in the first place, but the story basically ends with a 'trust me'. Which is true, which is good, which still didn't leave me satisfied. I think I would've liked Luna to elaborate a little bit more on that. On how she will be remembered. There doesn't have to be some elaborate (and potentially overused) gimmick like 'oh I make a new star for each lost friend, lover or family member' or something like that, Just... just something. Anything. She could've recounted one or two stories from lovers past, expressing her still lingering affection for them, thereby showing Twilight that, while she will pass one day, we'll be remembered... and more importantly, how she'll be remembered. Hrm. Something like that, I dunno.
Anyway, all that being said: This story was an entertaining read.
Thank you!
No 'AU' tag? No 'sad' tag?
I upvoted this story because of how well you created the atmosphere, but:
There's no difference between Twilight and Luna in regard to their immortality/life span.
The sisters were born as mortal ponies and ascended later. With Starswirl as their mentor when they grew up, canonically, we even have a good idea about their actual age at this point. They aren't multi-millenia old goddesses without equal.
If Granny Smith' and Starswirl's respective age is any indication then Luna has barely more than a full lifetime worth of actual life experience under her belt ... and as much as I love my moody little Lulu, the only pony that's actually suffered the full consequences of immortality in terms of strained relationships and losses, is Celestia.
TwiLuna is one of my favorite ships and this story is well written, but at the same time has a rather strong '2013-dontknowhowIfeelaboutTwilicorn' vibe to it.
If you want everypony to get the short straw, fine, but the interpretation this story is based on isn't even mainstream fanon - it's straight up head canon.
So please tag it accordingly.
Not sure how I feel about Twilight not being immortal, Celestia and Luna were once mortals turned into Allicorns, the same thing happened to Twilight, there's really no difference between Twilight and other Allicorn so she should be immortal to, plus the thought of Luna outliving Twilight is just sad.
