    This was inspired by a picture by C4tspajamas, available here.

    I think the other Luna adjustment fic I read and liked was 15k (maybe more) words and resulted in Luna committing suicide after getting attacked by sun spiders (Bit of a polar turn..) and written by a master.

    Good job.

    What a sweet story! :twilightsmile: It was really kind of Celestia to share something that meant so much to her with her sister. And it was adorable how the doll was fashioned after the very pony. ^ ^

    I've been reading so much depressing fiction lately and this was a refreshing break from that. :twilightsmile:

    That's cute. It's vaguely amusing that Princess Celestia has been sleeping with a plush version of Luna for the last ~983 years. Over all this seems like pretty good writing, at some point in this story it might be interesting to know what modern ponies think of Luna and some reflection on what major things have happened in the last thousand years. Wonder what Canterlot was like when Luna was banished, sounds like a potentially interesting fanfic, anyone know of any?

    One of these days, I think I'm just going to sit around patching together bits of fanfic that I like until it somewhat resembles a very long chunk of story.

    You should follow up with a short story based on the 900 year old tale of how Celestia had longed to be with her dear sister once more, to the point which, even after all advisers, therapists, doctors and subjects had tried to help her, only a gift from a young pony with a bit of crafting skill... only a bit really... gave her a stuffed toy, in hopes it would help. A filly's gift, a youthful idea, a toy companion, innocent and naive... but that is why it genuinely helped. A filly's gift, though not refined, it was earnest and true, a simple wish of happiness on her beloved princess and role model.

    Not an idle suggestion, actually, I would very much like to see the story behind it. Call it a request perhaps. In my entire life, this is the first time I've ever requested a story, and I have enjoyed many a thing, and thought many a thing should be given more content... and this is the first time I've ever considered asking for more.

    I give your short and sweet fic, a simple and honest 5/5.

    So cute. Nice stories are nice before sleep. It's a step up from those euology stories about the death of the Elements of Harmony. I mean seriously, fast forward 100 years on any character and anyone will mourn the death of their favorite fictional character. I was actually sad the the Princess could not remember the name of someone who she was close to 900 years ago. It doesn't make her bad, just the fact that noone else remembers her except the Celestia and she could only remember her face. That's life I guess lol

    Anyway, nice story. Do more Luna! :twilightblush:

    "So if I am reading these expense accounts correctly, Princess Celestia spends about five percent of the total annual budget for all of Equestria to keep the greatest toy makers in the world on retainer. Am I reading something wrong here."

    "No, that is correct."

    "And the entire reason for hiring these dozen master craftsman is solely to maintain one stuffed animal."

    "Yes."

    "This is ridiculous! The budget could be better spent elsewhere!"

    "OK fine then. You be the one to tell Celestia that the doll of her sister that has kept her company and protected her sanity for the last nine hundred and eighty-three years of her life shouldn't have this level of budget. Or perhaps you'd like to tell her that the toys creator should not have been immortalized in mural in the Painted Hallway next to the likes of Starswirl the Bearded, Fyrfly, the Elements of Harmony, or the Downfall of Discord?"

    ".....as I was saying there is no problem whatsoever with the budget for the upcoming year."

    "I'm sure Celestia will be glad to hear it."

    Oh yeah, I remember that one. "Lunacy", I think it was called.

    The entire time I was just thinking at her, "You have delusional parisitosis, go see a psychiatrist. Either your magic is acting up or you're going insane," and by the end, "You are insane, you need serious help, GO SEE A FREAKING PSYCHIATRIST!!!" And then she committed suicide, undoubtedly sending Princess Celestia into a deep depression.

    Luna is best subject.

    I keep attempting huge stories for my first projects. I've tried writing again and again on fimfiction, and I'm constantly reminded by stories like this that I don't need 50,000 pages to paint a beautiful idea in the mind of my readers.

    >>192242 It was a good story! And polar opposites to this one, which is also a good story!

    >>192350 I think Hasbro would be reluctant to make MLP plushes because they would be converted into sex toys very quickly and they want to keep the voice-actors from living in fear of being raped.

    Especially since Bad Dragon has a couple of horse toys...

    Beauty can be a a whispered word from your fondest love,

    Beauty could be the details wrought with care.

    Beauty may be the starry skies above,

    But true beauty can be found everywhere,

    Because what sets true beauty apart,

    Is when it reaches inside us to touch our heart.
