I am interested keep it up.
Hm. Alrighty then. I eagerly await when we get to the events that lead up to Luster's adoption.

What if, Luster is Starlight and Sunburst's foal, but gave her up for adoption because of how busy they are? This is why Celestia doesn't want to get involved with school because she doesn't want to bring this up to Luster who may not know about it?
Alright, well, that was one incorrect assumption. And I was wondering what was up with Luna. Makes sense that she would stay back and Tia would go out and enjoy the world.

But with everything gong on I wonder what Luna is doing though? Part of me feels like she would do something like Celestia, but wouldn't care if ponies identified her as the ex princess. Maybe she found her own group of friends she constantly hangs around with? Maybe she lives in the Crystal Empire teach Flurry Heart the art of combat?

And I bet she could make some good friends there.
Well, Dusty Pages (the old Canterlot librarian) seemed to have a fun time at SS. I could see Luna participating in that stuff. Particularly the paintball.
I could see her potentially going to the Crystal Empire to be with her 'daughter' and her family—it would give Celestia a one-stop shop if she ever wanted to visit—but I don't know how Shining Armor would feel about her giving Flurry combat training. That's his job.
Might be a little harder to make friends there, though.
And which Pinkie Pie has attempted to break numerous times.
And another question answered. But are they still there now? If they're also in snow, how close are they?
So I'm lost on a thing. Celestia's been lying to Twilight for years about Luster and who her family is. Even though Luna and Cadance do know, and for some reason could never remove her head from her flank and tell her the truth.
Did I miss something? All of Celestia's bit didn't make much sense. But that could just be me. Still love the story.

Celestia isn't lying to Twilight--she's cut her off, zero contact, cold turkey. She's afraid of what getting back in contact with Twilight will mean: after all, she's pushed one of the ponies she loved the most in the world into making the same devil's bargain that she did, with neither of them fully understanding the consequences. She's afraid of the things she'll have to explain and the apologies she'll have to make, and is terrified of what Twilight's reaction will be (though Twilight probably knows more tha Celestia thinks she does--gossip rags, paparazzi, and Cadence and Luna, among others). Does that help?
And, thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Good story!
But i kinda want Epilogue with Twilight*s answer...
10841067
Does help. Twilight won't be happy for sure. Even if she has figured a few things out, she's going to be hurt that Celestia cut her off, no matter that Twilight tried to keep it going.
That Celestia didn't trust her enough to tell her herself.
I seriously doubt Twilight would treat Luster any differently knowing she is Celestia's daughter. Maybe.
Wonderful story! I love it!
Does the fact that the sisters do not visit each other even on holidays mean that the sisters again have a split in the family?
10843841
Not neccesarily. Celestia has isolated herself from everyone, including her sister, out of her own fears. There's not neccesarily bad blood--though Celestia should probably still apologize.
I'm glad I spotted this in the popular column, or I might have missed it. This story was a pleasure to read.
I am tempted to ask if you'll do a follow up...but I can also see the wisdom in letting it rest as is.
I read the Author's Note, and then I was like
Yeah. Huh. I could read a novel's worth of content with these two.
Great story. One thing I'm not clear on: Does Luna know about Luster?
10852894
Thank you very much! Glad to hear you liked it!
Luna was actually present at Luster's birth, though it's unclear how much contact they've had since then. Celestia, for better or worse, cut her off as well.
This was a great read. Loved it.
On the note of you miss interpreting something I'll just say that after reading the synopsis and the first chapter... I someblw got to thinking that Luster is Celestia's and Twilight's kid. Strange really considering I don't usually ship the two. But then my mind wondered and came up with Twilight didn't know, Celestia was afraid and Luster may or may not have known.
And it was about trying to tell Twilight and how she would react.
Then I realized I was imagining all this while reading and needed to reread the chapter again.
Anyway, it's perfect as is. My mind just likes to wonder at times.
I never did comment on this, did I? Brilliant take on a post-retirement Celestia grappling with challenges she never thought she'd have to deal with, to say nothing of one of the most fascinating answers to the question of Luster Dawn I've ever seen. One that neatly sidesteps the possible nepotism issues her having familiar parents can present. Thank you for this. Glad I could help in prereading.

As always, thanks for your kind words! And thanks for your feedback, too! It really helped!
I've never been one for the idea that Celestia and Luna acquire mortality when they retire, but it certainly can bring for some interesting treatises, such as this :-) it was an enjoyable read!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your comment!
Liked this one a lot. Would have loved to read about the reunification, but I guess the story works better as is.
Can't help it, there's just something about Sunhorse hugging Twilight just a little too long.
Great first chapter
Really good story
Damn i wish it didn't end on that note really wanna see what happens when she finally writes to hwr🤣
But really good story 🙂
