G'day. Aussie Brony here. I'm not very active in the comment threads of my stories, but I read and cherish every one. Thanks for reading.

Derpy has been summoned to Canterlot by Princess Celestia. She has been fitted with the ceremonial armour of the Royal Guard, and has been brought to a courthouse. The princess has asked her to speak of an event in her past that she has no memory of. An event that changed her life and altered her personality. She just has to keep reminding herself that "most days are pretty good."

Beautiful... simply beautiful, I have never seen Derpy's story told with such beauty and feeling. Thank you for this. It helps me, cos in RL I am in a similar situation.

Perfect.

That's all I can say. It felt real, it felt right.
A fav, a thumbs up, and hearty reccomendation to anyone else who sees this comment to read this story.

Those bastards did WHAT to Derpy!?!?

Seriously though, good job. You made me cry. :fluttercry:

All my feels. Take them. Take them all.

Womanly tears were shed.

By no small margin, the finest origin story for the Derpster I've ever seen.

Now I feel bad for every thought I had of how silly Derpy is.:pinkiesad2:
So Awesome!:rainbowkiss:

This was quite well done, I see it's marked incomplete so I don't know if it's finished or not but it can definitely stand by its self.

5/5 Moustaches :moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache:

You know, I wish that there were a super-favourite option for stories like this. Have you thought of trying your luck with EqD?

To be honest I tend to not read stories that have Ditzy called Derpy, but having her in the Guard dragged me in. I'm glad I read this, she lived by the motto of the Guard and gave her all: For Honor and Duty, For the Sun and Moon. Celestia knows that, and now Dinky will know it as well.

Yes this can end right here, but to hear more about her would be nice.

In the Name of Her Serene Majesty,
Celestia's Paladin: Ex Solis et Lunae, Provendtia et Prospartia

PLEASE tell me you're continuing this.

I can totally see where this might go, and it would be fantastic.

In my personal Opinion, you need to write a few more chapters. One about Dinky and her reactions, at the very least.

Been there, done that. I vowed I'd never look at a sadfic or pay any attention to shipping. I'm starting to think It's a singularity, pulling us all in.

Congratulations, you have just written my head canon. Very well done.

Broken Man - Corrosion Of Conformity

This... I... There are no words. Just... :raritycry:

Thank you everyone.

I'm working on the second chapter now. I think the story will run to three chapters, with a short epilogue. Keep watching.

That was epic beyond belief, I commend you.

Fan. Freaking. Tastic.

I love stories that treat the enigma of Derpy Hooves with dignity and respect, and this is one of the best ones I've seen. Thank you for bringing a fine mix of drama, tragedy, and hilarious embarrassment to best pony. :derpytongue2:

my headcannon has changed.... :pinkiegasp:

I'm really hoping that you continue this. It's an excellent portrayal of Derpy and a great story all around. Keep going! :heart:

You know what makes me feel really dumb?

Misspelling 'Celestia' as 'Celistia' almost every freakin' time! I only spotted that last night. I gave it a quick edit, and I think I've got them all.

Again, Thank you all. I am overwhelmed by the way it's been received. I couldn't wipe the smile off my face for two days... :pinkiehappy:

I just found this searching for people who might have done it before me.

Is it safe to assume you are from/in a Common wealth country and not the USA
Because you used Rememberance Day instead of Veterans' Day or Memorial Day.

1700856 Ah, yes. I am Australian. I guess I should update my profile, now that I am posting stories here.

Thanks for reading.

You, my friend, write like a fuckmothering boss.

Well, at least we know how she got that way.......:fluttershbad::applecry:

" The only heroes I know died fighting to protect what they loved."

Oh, my giddy aunt. Is that my story in the feature box?

Wow.

Thank you, everyone that has read, commented, favourited, and rated. I am ecstatic. I can not believe the response. This is wonderful.

I'm not normally a fan of sadfics, but this... This is beautiful...

Are you going to be updating more frequently now? It would be awesome if you did.

"Sush, Derpy. I'm here. Do not speak, just rest." The princess responded, relief flooding through her.

*Shush

Masterfully done.

I have to say I'd love to be a fly on the wall when Shinning Armor does the interview. But poor, poor Derpy :applecry:


This sad? PShhhhh. No, "Backgroind Pony" is sad, this is slightly woeful. I don't want to read a fic that sad for a long time.

Oh shit nigga

pro writer is pro

You write like a boss

you magnificent bastard

Fantastically well done.

I only noticed one mistake, you spelt civilization with an s instead of a z. It's a common mistake, no need to worry.

Other than that, the story has hooked me and I can't wait for the next chapter.

(Why, oh why does the world have to be like this?! *sigh*)

There was no reasoning with the goddess of the sun when she spoke sacrilege about tradition.

Silly pony. If she's a goddess, then nothing she says can be sacrilegious.

I have torn the bodies of evildoers asunder, and danced on their entrails.

:applejackconfused: Whoa. I'd like to hear more about that. I think. Kind of creeped out, honestly.

I honestly wasn't expecting this story to continue, but I'm very glad to see that it is. Your Derpy is easily one of my favorite alternate interpretations. That you're using the story to give background detail to ambiguous canon is icing on the cake. I'm definitely looking forward to more.

Why can't I hold all these feels

my god

I thought this was a one-shot the first time I read it (and it would have been awesome that way as well) but holy shit, right in the heart man :heart:

:applecry: :fluttershyouch: :fluttershbad: :raritydespair: :raritycry:
love this story and hope it updates more

Beautiful , want more, need more of this. :pinkiegasp:

I read this on my phone and literally had to stop because it was so beautiful, please continue, I dont think I'll ever look at derpy the same way again. :derpytongue2:

I'm glad I decided to take a peek at this. This is some seriously great writing. Poor Derpy.

Also, just had to note that I find it amusing to see someone talk to the Princess about tradition, when she's likely many centuries older than said tradition.
