I love this story. Let me tell you why.
In 2017, when I was 14, I tried to take my own life. I took a bunch of benzodiazepines and OD'd in my sleep. I still don't know how, but my mother found me unresponsive, and rushed me to the hospital.
While I was in my comatose state, Luna appeared to me. She asked me why I tried to end my own life. I said it was because I'm autistic, and nobody could understand me.
Luna said that SHE understood me, and she knew how I felt. Feeling rejected for being different, living with guilt over past misdeeds, etc.
She said I am a Child of the Night, and I'd always have a protector and guardian alicorn. I woke up some 36 or so hours later in the hospital, and I spent a good 8 weeks in the youth psychiatric ward.
While I still suffer from depression and anxiety, I haven't had suicidal ideation or tendencies in over five years. I would go as far to say my 1 on 1 with Luna in my coma gave me the strength to wake up, and not give up and die.
There's a reason Princess Luna is my OC's mom.
Outstanding fic.
It's impossible to know how many lives you will affect until you're gone. But at that point, you'll never know.
I can relate to this. I have done so for over twenty years.

You know what, I don't care what anyone says. This is beautiful.
Your life matters. Never forget that.
If there was a sequel to this I can only imagine one thing happening and that is Celestia descending into madness and turning into Daybreaker, blaming her ungrateful subjects for her sister's death.

step on a lego
The sad thing is is this could have happened were it not a kids show. 9/10 excellent chapter. Can't wait to see the part 2.
11225999
Yes
The short lines get to me the most
11226378
What the actual fuck, bro?
Why would I lie about something like this?
11225581
Well, you can, the problem is, it'll take too much time and would ultimately prove useless, especially if a person has already made their mind.
Anyhow, there's always a reason to live if you look hard enough.
Worst case scenario? Do it out of spite.
Great story.
That was....heavy.. It makes me want to talk her out if it..
11226506
right right I am so sorry about what I said, I didn't know what I was thinking and I shouldn't state like that.
Your stories is beautiful and I am a fool for not seeing that sooner.
I am really sorry and I hope u can forgive me. If not then pretend I never existed.
Luna honestly didn’t need the Elements of Harmony as much as a therapist… even in the show. She seems to have a lot of self loathing, and while they touched on it a little, I feel it would have been better to have her agree to talk about her issues. Celestia isn’t a bad sister on purpose, but her focus on ruling makes her very neglectful. Which is bad when you have a sister with deep self esteem issues, plus the different sleep schedules don’t help their relationship either. Luna needs support and love which her sister just can’t give as a ruler, even retired I’m concerned about Celestias ability to help and give her the attention she needs.

Luna says in her suicide note that she never even wanted to be a princess, so I have to wonder why she even bothered reclaiming her title when she returned instead of doing..... literally anything else.
11227258
She likely wanted to be close to her sister. That’s my guess
I can see an epilouge chapter where it is revealed That the ponies were acting like that because of a surprise party set up to celebrate Luna's return, so when Celestia goes to her room to draw Luna out....

Bro why you have to make it darker?
11227504
Dark, Darker, Yet Darker.

Seriously, though, it could easily go that way. Or maybe a humorous opposite, like her AC rating was too high, so she takes no harm.
The eternally-unanswered question of "why did she take off her shoes before she jumped?" made this story stick in my mind. The other unanswered questions have straightforward explanations, but the fact that she felt it important enough to remove her shoes as her final act in Equestria made the story more poignant.
11227810
Or a horror route: she falls endlessly with no bottom to the cliff
11228582
Well, if you notice in a lot of stories (or even AJ saying: We don't normally wear clothes.) Clothes tend to be worn by 'fancy' or upper-class ponies, and having specially made metal or silver shoes, is part of the royal regalia.
If you want to analyze it to the point of "College level English Class" (The not-fun kind) there's symbolism there, and how 'the author' wrote each piece of regalia to mean something or whatever. (Eeeven if that wasn't the case.)
11228582
Probably it's a symbolism of sorts? She left her tiara as a memento to Celestia and a sign that she would no longer be a princess. She took off her shoes because she wants die as a normal pony, not bounded by the responsibilities that her regalia represent, not a princess. I don't know, all of this is just my theory.
11237381
That’s a very good point. In fact, the author uses this in one of the sequels.
Poor Luna.
She was very kind. She didn't want to trouble or sadden others even when she was to give up her life.

Taking one's shoes off before jumping to their deaths is an actual thing in asian countries
It took me a while to finally find a fic under the subject I wanted.
Reading this makes me feel very sad about Luna. Part of me feels that she is this way because she can't get over the fact that her dark side known as Nightmare Moon will always be there to torment her. The other part is that not being around for nearly a millennium can make it hard to adapt to changes especially after being a long time. I still feel that she has a lot to live for rather than kill herself. Maybe if she destroys that helmet and the rest of the armor, she won't think of Nightmare Moon anymore. Then again, being a manifestation, something tells me that destroying that armor alone may not be enough as long as negative emotions tend to get the better of her. On a side note, reading this fanfic sort of reminds me of one my fanfics such as Helping Megan Fit In where Megan feels that she doesn't belong in present day Equestria seeing that pretty much everything she knew about Pony Land is no longer around, but unlike Luna, she doesn't become suicidal, but thinks about leaving and never coming instead until Twilight helps her reconsider by sharing memories with each other.

Not just Asia
The military is full of weebs and bronies.
I could see a marine squad breaching the door and all you hear is.
"Target identified. HUG HER DEPRESSED ASS"!
Don't tell me I'm wrong.
