Dear Princess Celestia, I’m sorry I failed you. I’m sorry I let Equestria fall to ruin. I’m sorry I have to kill you.

Well, that's an interesting take about their retirement, I must say, and well written too. Although, honestly, one would think Celestia should really be above such pitiful behavior.
Still, nicely done
Remember, kids, take up a hobby in retirement like collecting stamps or something, or you'll become a murderous tyrant who will torture your siblings in a fit of rage and destroy the country you live in until your best friend comes to kill you.

Thanks! Appreciate this coming from you!
In case you didn't the blog post associated with this, the idea for this story came to me in a dream. Guess Celestia was not her usual self in the dream

Haha, perhaps Twi should've recommended some hobbies to her mentor.
Honestly, I really don’t know who to side with.
This was really good. I wish we could see the aftermath.

Glad you liked it! Hopefully you feel the same way about my other fics

Your welcome

Yeah, I've seen the blog, you got some interesting dreams, man !
To be clear, I'm not saying Celestia was completely OOC. IMHO she was herself when she realized she blasted Luna and in most of the second chapter.
What I found less believable is Celestia being this stubborn in the beginning, not listening to reason, not talking to Twilight just forcing her will on everyone. This simply doesn't seem like Celestia we know.
As someone who hates the whole 'retirement thing' - I believe Twilight would gladly accept Celestia (and Luna) back as co-rulers. It would make things easier for her on so many levels. But instead of simply asking, Celestia pushed herself in like some bully. That was... weird.
The paranoid part and calling for martial law were also a bit off, but here she was broken after realizing what she did to Luna. I guess she wasn't in her state of mind when she ordered the last part.
All in all, I still liked the story - it was an inspirational little thing
P.S.
Is it just me, or did this story had a bit of a political vibe to it ?

Yep, fair enough haha.
I didn't intend for any political vibes. Curious, what vibe did you get from it?

Well, this part hit a bit close to home:
That sounded a bit preachy to me, like how someone in power should never try to restore law and order by using any sort of force because it may backfire horribly and led to civil war.
If that wasn't intentional, then I clearly need to cut down on the real-world political drama
I'm burning to know if Twilight's friends survive.... If Twilight is the sole ruler again, they should, but once a ball is set in motion...
this makes no sense
Reading this late and with only having seen up to series 5, but space have mercy on me, this was fun to read. It is with these little stories that sadness hits a lot harder and with a faux-remembrance regretfulness instilled by an action never taken, while longer stories seem to maintain a difficulty in instilling such emotions. by space I swear, my body went to flames after finishing this text and golly gee, it was glorious. Thank you for this work --- The comment about Celestia being slightly out of tune might be somewhat true, but at this point, this story is just good enough to let it slide since it created emotions that are rare in myself.
Hm. it's deeply into idiot ball territory... and there is a LOT of informed flaws... I mean... Celestia here is rational... what she has done from the moment she got out of retirement to now... not so much. It feels somewhat forced... There are worse cases around but still...
I remember in the original Dr. Strange comics, that he had to kill The Ancient One, who was in the grip of madness. By this act, Stephan became the true Sorcerer Supreme.
