Celestia prepares for another routine day at the castle with the recent addition of teaching her new, young student. However, an impromptu structure made from books causes a slight change of plans.
Inspired by the cover art and it's description, both used with permission from the wonderful Nova Quill.
“You should have made that a royal decree.”
“—I’ve lived here my entire life, andWhat?!”
“The part about the clipboard,” Celestia said. “I empowered you with a noble rank, if temporarily. You should have made it a decree…”
Raven stared at the princess in bewilderment.
“Also you’re hired.”

Happy to help.
Dear god...
For the love of God, Montresor!
*applauds*
Well done! A thoroughly enjoyable story from start to finish!
I love this Celestia
Kibitz has been working at the castle for a long time. He knows exactly how to deal with the Princess of the Sun.
If ever a fic deserved to be made into a comic, then given audio and/or made into animation, this is it.
While the mental image of Celestia viciously attacking a suggestion is hilarious and adorable - and for some reason involves Phoenix Wright - I'm pretty sure you mean mulled.
That poor librarian...
I laughed far too hard reading this. Bravo.
*Snorts with laughter and chokes to death on own saliva:
The Celestia of my dreams. Some of them. The others are Wargodlestia. But this one is just perfect.
Aw, that was adorable and hilarious with just a bit of sadness. My favorite parts were probably all the references to a certain other former student. Funny to think that this is Celestia restraining herself (a little bit) around Twilight, considering how her last student turned out after Celestia flaunted the rules a few too many times.
Wonder if she has a folder marked "Times she should have been more strict with Sunset Shimmer". She probably avoids that folder. Another great fic, though honestly I'm still curious about how much more their childhoods differed. Like "Knowledge is Power Hour" sounds like it damaged more books than Twilight would have been happy with.
*Grasps throat and chokes on laughter than falls limp*

A great deal of the stuff she mentally reviewed double as "I should have been more strict with Sunset Shimmer."

Got it! Thank you!
I just adore your portrayal of Kibitz.
Perhaps "at the off-white Earth Pony, whose brown mane and tail were each wrapped in a tightly knit bun," would be better?
This line also definitely needs some work.
Other than that I greatly enjoyed this first chapter, and I look forward to reading the rest tonight!
7800023 Oh please she's plainly outgrown that childish habit. Why she hasn't made a book fort in.....oh.....a month!
SIDEWAYS ! :D
I Lol'd Heartily :D
This was the most adorable filly Twilight story I have read so far. Amazing job!
SOOOO CUTE!
Ah, so that's where her undying devotion and hero worship of Celestia comes from.
...That's all.
Awesome work, well done.
Really, really needs a proofreading. Also it's a wonderful story, and the errors don't take away from that.
Wonderfully adorkable.

Brillant
Cutie mark looked like a red X in the small view
Well at least Princess Celestia remembered not to force any gender rolls on them.
Hey! Don't count her out just because of that, Super Duchess Kibitz!...Wait a second, Super Duke Raven's married? Does that make her spouse 'Temporary Super Duke/Duchess' for the day as well?
Well at least Super Duke Raven is a humble Super Duke. I completely approve of this new decision of royalty! Let's just hope her spouse is equally humble.

Whoops! That should just be "Ms." Fixed!
7801431 Really? I didn't think that was an error, I just thought that was some funny insight. Sorry if I sounded rude about it.
7801447
Now, no worries. I called her Ms. hopefully everywhere else in the fic, but I musta messed up there.
First few paragraphs need a whole lot of work, if this wasn't so highly rated I likely would have stopped reading.
That said, after getting through it, I'm already enjoying the rest!
So many amazing lines.
This is not how I see Celestia in a serious setting, but in terms of a comedy, it was gold.
You are awesome.
And to think that I used to believe that nerds couldn't be adorable.
Man, nobody liked Sunset Shimmer back in the day, and now she's best pony.

Alright, fixed what looked to be the trouble ones up. Not sure what was going on with me when I wrote those...
Minor grammatical quibble at the very start:
Beyond that, this story looks promising.
I'm pretty sure it's not quite aggregation.
