Except when she drinks.

Rated T for alcohol and other things.

This was a pleasant surprise. I saw the synopsis and immediately assumed it was some uninspired oneshot comedy, but it really couldn't have been any further from it.

I admit I never thought of Celestia using alcohol as a coping mechanism for her immortality blues, but the way it was presented here made it seem quite convincing. And the resolution of this story was satisfying; Celestia has been drowning her sorrows and regrets and in doing so she's blinded herself to all the good she has done, too. Sometimes it takes the student to let the mentor know how much she has actually taught and what difference she's made.

Twilight shook her head, as if shaking the sleep from her mind, put a hoof to an ear, and listened.

-Appeared above Twilight.

A white hoof caught hers, holding it tight.

She was crying; tears ran down her face, her expression somehow at once hard and wistful.

Twilight couldn't tell how much time passed.

Eventually, the laughing stopped, and Twilight regarded Celestia with a mock-resigned sigh.

Soon the bottle was drained, and Twilight sat, gazing at the stars.

move down a line, or connect it to the previous one.

A choked cry tore up through Twilight's throat as she rushed to the edge, dove over it, wings spread, hooves outstretched-
It was too late.
Celestia hit the ground with a sickening 'thud'; Twilight pulled up before she met the same fate, slowly circling down to where her teacher lay.

Broken paragraph.

Alright biggest and only real problem was that your fic was 99% broken paragraphs / improperly structured paragraphs [it's seriously bad when a reader doesn't know if a paragraph just needs to be moved down a line [properly spaced], or is simply just broken.].

But other than that it was a cute-ish story.

Surprisingly emotive. Nicely done. I think you did the points Celestia talked about well. It felt like these were things she could say.
