They love each other. But they don’t always understand. Centuries of shared time still haven’t been enough for each sister to fully comprehend how the other views the world, and that’s just one of the reasons Celestia and Luna still have fights. And sometimes it’s the smallest, stupidest differences, like how Luna prefers the longest of baths and Celestia doesn’t…
Luna feels that being immersed brings a pony closer to her world. And Celestia doesn’t understand.
Some lessons require special measures. Along with a lot of water.
And tiles. There’s definitely going to be tiles.

Equestria: The only place where yearly budgets have real imaginary numbers, and sometimes the budgetary columns have little wars among the pages with tiny explosions and dripping ink held back by microscopic bandages. (which is also budgeted for)
It does make you wonder just how much they missed each other and how much they had forgotten about each other before Luna’s fall.
Awwww! So nice!
And appreciating a different kind of chaos! Maybe that's also part of why Luna is sorta wiling to work with Discord where Celestia doesn't...

Sweetness. Bravo.
"Regardless, I feel the mythical realm of Shoobedoo will continue to remain exactly that. "
And now I want to see Seaponies get the Estee semi-grimdark treatment. Perhaps a Bearer mission gone weird?
(Seaponies, mind you. Not goddamn transformed Hippogriffs.
)
Ohh, my heart. I’m an only child so I have no siblings, but I have a sibling-esque bonds with my cousins. Probably not as strong or innate as they have for each other, but it’s there. Been dealing with loss, and this fic feels incredibly healing. My heart twisted at their arguments in the beginning, even if there was no true malice and it was just the way the sisters were used to interacting. The second half was the respite I desperately needed.
The descriptions were beautiful, there are some lines that are just so beautifully written and I want to reread them over and over again and obsess over them. I always love your work Estee, as soon as I start reading, there’s a certain feeling to it that tells me you wrote it. And that is truly special. Thanks for writing this and posting it.

i seem to remember a story where there used to be Seaponies, but then Discord turned the seawater into taffy or pudding...
Oh Luna, what a beautiful thing.
And I really don't think the owners are going to have any issues with those modifications, that sound freaking sweet
That was beautiful.
Love is war and understanding. Sometimes it takes effort not to war but to understand.
There's something about Bearers of Generosity and long baths. Funny how that works.
Ha! I do love a good nod to the classics.
That does explain the library.
Fascinating detail with the Cerulean Grotto. This is a world of wonders and horrors, and there's a fair amount of intersection between the two.
Incredible... and intriguing, but that's for another day.
Speaking as a younger sibling who is very much the complement to his elder, I loved all of this. Magnificent moment of the royal sisters actually getting to be sisters, and for bridging the gap between love and understanding to some small degree. Thank you for this.
A moment of beauty, and a flash of understanding.
An exquisite little piece with the Royal Sisters!
This was so beautiful.
Once again I find myself pissed... WHY CAN'T I GIVE AN ESTEE STORY MORE THEN ONE THUMBS UP!!!!!

If that happens it better involve the Dazzlings somehow.
That's beautiful. Thank you. I always love your Celestia + Luna stories. They feel so deep in their history and relationship. Can't believe I didn't get a patreon notification for this, smh they're slippin'.
That was a good story. It was nice to see Celestia and Luna have some proper bonding time together.
Wow...
I’m not sure I really understand what has happened, but it was beautiful nevertheless 😊 Two faves for you and probably a follow
Luna worked very tangibly hard to convey something very subtle. So did you. She wasn’t sure it would even work. I think it did but I can’t be really sure either. My thanks are definite enough though: I appreciate the gift.
Estee. Buddy. Google.
"Can horses swim."
The answer is yes. Surprisingly well, actually, due to their powerful legs and large lungs making them extra buoyant. And while they're not natural aquaphiles, they're not natural aquaphobes, either. You either learned from a single bad source, or you pulled "ponies are bad swimmers and afraid of water" out of your ass, but either way you've been using wrong information for years and it's really aggravating.
