I found this to be a sweet story. It also put a wide smile on my face, which is always appreciated. Anyway, I like how you portrayed Luna here in addition to her communication with Celestia. I could see just how close they were just from their dialogue and behavior, not to mention Luna's anxiety was quite believable as well. The ending was cute and definitely something I could see happening in the show. Excellent work as always! :twilightsmile:

6210211 Thank you; I appreciate your kind words.

Luna always seemed to be a tough character for me to nail down. I'm glad I appeared to have done so.:twilightsmile:

6210287 You're welcome! :twilightsmile:

6210315 ...the latest episode really resonated with me. So I wrote concerning it.

“Trust me, I know.

Missing close quote.

This was touching. Not your usual random zaniness, but it was still very good. I came expecting a good laugh, I did not expect to get such tender feelings.

that was perfect

Very sweet, and fitting to their characters I think.

6210440 Thank you. :twilightsmile:

I tried to match their characterizations as best I could.

That was pleasant.

It isn't missing. It's absent because the next paragraph is a continuation of that quote.

Nice! A welcome change from the slew of angst fics between the pair over this issue.

This was a rather lovely little read. :twilightsmile:

“Luna, I love you, but I don’t feel like drinking cold tea.”

Luna grasped the kettle in her magic along with two tea cups and two tea bags. “Nor do I.”

Cold, iced tea is best tea. :trixieshiftleft:

Wow. That description is incredibly vague.

6210511 I think all the parties involved would realize that what Luna's done to herself is worse than anything they could do to her.

6210555
But the aaaaaaaaangst. What is a fic without angst? :fluttershbad:

6210621 I KNO RITE!?

But seriously though, I've written a lot of angst. This wasn't a fic I felt needed to be angsty.

6210525 I know it is almost like it was done intentionally. :rainbowhuh:

6210511

it's almost as if some people from forever ago did nothing but write about luna and others having issues

glad im not one of those people

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! We're being hypocritical.

Also, I am glad to say I have never written a Luna angst fic. I'm all about the Applejack angst, because she cries on the inside.

All joking aside, though, nice story. The Dalai Lama even notes (as do most religious figures) that in order to truly be a compassionate person, one must have compassion for oneself.

Did not contain a James Bond, therefore only one upvote, favorite, and cup of feels for you.

I have read some of your stuff and approve. You may continue, hypocrite.

6211372 I honestly just told the story I wanted to tell from the episode.

6211341 I'll take whatever you're giving.:pinkiehappy:

I rate this 9.8 out of 10! 7+ gets a thumbs up!!!!!

“So…” Luna said as she blinked the glisten out of her eyes, “you forgive me?”

Celestia threw her arms around Luna. “Oh, Luna, I forgave you a thousand years ago.”

She's asking about the Tantabus, Celie. Also, since when do you have arms? :rainbowhuh:

All joking aside, this is an interesting approach to Celestia's reaction to the Tantabus. I've only read one other story with this premise, and she seems a lot more patient and understanding here. The other story had her getting upset because Luna was hurting herself without telling anypony. While I consider both reactions to be in character for her, I kinda like this one more.

That being said, there isn't a whole lot of meat to this one. It's simply restating the lesson of the episode. I think it would've been stronger had Celestia been a bit more specific about how she related to Luna's woes. But, that's just my opinion. It's still a nice little story regardless. :duck:

6211751 Thank you! I'm glad that you enjoyed it.:twilightsmile:

As for restating the lesson of the episode, I felt it was somewhat necessary. I know that me as well as a bunch of other authors I respect on the site and in Skype chats were so focused on the idea of Luna hurting herself that the fact that Luna accomplished something huge was somewhat lost in the shuffle. I just wanted to remind myself at least of that, and I wanted Celestia's reaction to be cognizant of the fact that the Tantabus was merely a reflection of Luna's self-loathing rather than something like a razor.

Also, I believe horses do technically have forearms.:twilightsheepish:

6212041 That last point is true, I suppose. Though for those not familiar with horse anatomy, it can be seen as confusing. :applejackunsure:

I'm not against restating the lesson of the episode. In fact, I'm mostly in agreement with you. But I think if Celestia explained how she empathized with Luna instead of just saying "Believe me, I know," that would make the story a lot better. Again, that's just me. :duck:

As usual I find myself in awe of your work.

Great short story and follow up from the latest episode. Thanks

6214126 You're welcome.:pinkiehappy:

Cute! I appreciated the metaphor inherent in Luna's reflection—broken at the start, warped but whole by the end. That was sweet.

6214367 Thank you. Your words are too kind.

I'm also glad that didn't go unnoticed.

I don't have anything unique to say here. I'd love to leave another long-winded, overly thought out comment like I usually do-

But no. Great job. :pinkiehappy:

6210237 That is the most amazing thing I have ever seen.

This was pretty cute and a nice read. I love seeing the interaction between these two, and it's cool to see how different authors approach them. Keep up the good work!

6210237
Dammit, Luna! Explain better next time! XD :rainbowlaugh:

Also, Celestia has a dirty mind. Why am I not surprised? :trollestia:

D'aww. Nice little follow-up to the episode. And nice to see a serious story from ya too. :twilightsmile: Have a fave, but on a different bookshelf!

Short and sweet.:twilightsmile:
