This seems... very familiar...
7554715 I'm not sure why? I mean, there are probably a bajillion other stories with this same premise, but I only just typed this up write before posting.
7554741 It seems similar to the "Remembrance" video on Youtube. But I know it isn't... it just feels similar.
7554746 Oh, okay. I'm going to have to look for that, now.
7554748 ok.
Well, that was horrible.
I guess next time Celestia goes shopping for a Princess, she should look for someone a little bit less sensitive and intelligent. Not a complete clod, just someone who gets bored of staring at their navel instead of falling in.
I can't wait for the sequel!
7554784 While I do appreciate you sharing your opinion, it would be helpful if you said what was horrible, so that I could not make the same mistakes twice in a row.
I like stories like this but I dislike stories like this that just leave off without reactions from other characters and it just seems to happen to often
7554791 The reactions, as you could expect, are very shocked and sad, with the whole of Equestria and several members of other nations mourning the loss of princess twilight. If you want to see how a few of the people surviving Twilight would have reacted, see the second chapter of a story I wrote called My Sister. I didn't feel like rehashing the same emotions twice.
7554804 if your reactions are like that then thats fine but im talking about the severe reactions like celestia blaming herself and going into seclusion or spike blaming celestia what about her friends you said they are mourning but are any of them going over board with it where its affecting their lives what if the shock of twi's suicide caused flutters heart to stop then there would be 2 dead heck i read 1 where twi killed herself or died i dont remember which then proceeded to kill the rest of the elements 1 after another then at the very end it said celestia was next
7554804 found it https://www.fimfiction.net/story/17548/1/forever-faithful/forever-faithful
7554838 I don't feel emotionally up to dealing with that sort of thing, so I didn't write it. Sorry that disappoints you.
7554845 nah like i said your endings are fine i guess its just the blandness of they were all sad is a little boring but then again its 2 in the morning maybe i shouldnt be typing

I don't know whether this is a complaint or not, but Twilight is behaving like a total narcissist, as she so often does in these stories. Her friends' approaching deaths are tragic only because of how they affect her. She has an ideal that she expects her friends to live up to and refuses to hear that they are changing beyond the point where they can fit into it.
I note that as they describe their failings to her, she offers nothing in return but a stubborn clinging to ritual. She isn't even considering doing anything to help them. There's no thought of heart valves for Fluttershy, for instance, let alone some mad scheme to alicornize the lot of them.
And poor Spike; that's a suicide note for a child to read. An innocent child who has to be protected from the harsh realities of life and death with sugarcoated lies. Does she expect the doctor to hide her corpse from him and weave a story about how she's gone away for a while? She's spent more than fifty years with him and that's all the impression he's left on her? Ouch.
So, yes. horrible. Painful to read, even. But not because it's bad. If your intent was to write Twilight as neurotic and self-centered, than you certainly succeeded.
Saw the title and was hoping for a crossover with the infamously bad rapture series of books. Very disappointed.

The start of the sequel:
"Twilight silently cursed her miserable luck as she hung there, waiting for the magic blockers to wear off."
7554868 Why do people insist on hiding the reality of death from children? I learned about death young, and I'm well adjusted. Maybe a little desensitized to the concept of loved ones dying, I didn't shed a tear at my grandfather's funeral despite my sorrow. Then again, I knew for months that he was on his last legs, so I had simply accepted it before the time came. And I've never shed tears over pets either. It sucks that they die, but there's no point crying over something you can't change. People give Spike too little credit where his emotional state is concerned. In this case, if he's 50 years old, then he'd be no stranger to death. I imagine that dragons especially, with their millennia long life expectancies, tend to accept the concept of death a lot sooner than those that only live for around a century at most.
7554868 Considering the amount of time that has passed, I wouldn't consider him a child anymore, even if his physical body hasn't grown much since he moved to Ponyville. (This story doesn't say one way or another whether he's grown, however.)
But I agree with you 100% on your assessment of Twilight, and even if he isn't a child, she's treating the one she's always been closest to poorly all the same. Even though she wrote a note saying she loves him, her actions say something more along the lines of, "Sorry, Spike. Remember when we were in Sombra's castle and I said I'd never abandon you? I lied. It's tough you'll be by yourself for the next several millennia or so, but so be it. Bye." =/

In case you're interested, there's a fellow who's done an in-depth review of the things chronicling just how morally repugnant they are.
I have to admit that I would also like to see a crossover.
