Genius. Prodigy. Magus. Powerhouse. Unbalanced. Crazy. All words used to describe Twilight Sparkle at some point through her life. This is the story of her life, and of those close to her.

Eh, sure it's bad but not so much that you need to practice your shapeshifting, surely?
Hey, accidents, they happen. Unfortunately the whole thing's gotta come out, structural reasons don't cha know, no patching.
As the man said, "I am here, there can be no greater security than that."
A good and loyal servant deserves all her ruler may do for her. 'twas well done by Celestia, remedy what you can, where you can.
A wonderful holiday dinner, wonderful all around. A pity Shining couldn't be home for the season...

Pesky hand references still slip in! I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. I wanted to do a Christmas one, and it was at about the right time in the story. Hope I captured the spirit of it all.
Merry Christmas!

A lovely atmosphere from start to finish. Celestia needed this more than she could have possibly known.
Thanks for the chapter. Perfect way for me end my day. I greatly enjoyed celly here. Just the right amount of nostalgia without going over board.
Awww, this is so sweet! I’m a huge fan of stories, or chapters in stories, where Celestia gets to be just another pony for the day. It’s just a shame that Shining couldn’t be here.
Excellent job on this latest chapter. The exchanges, characterizations, sweetness, general chapter wrap-up and future chapter set-up are all wonderfully done in all the right places. Absolutely adored Celestia not only reflecting on past holidays AND going with Twilight to spend Hearth's Warming with Twilight's parents AND Cadance, but also chatting with Lyra on the way to, as aforementioned, spending Hearth's Warming with some of the family. All in all, a really good additional Breather Chapter.
Definitely looking forward to more of this story.
And Happy Holidays.
Celestiaa totallly destroyed the mural herself didnt she.
It's interesting how Celestia and Luna's descendants bred and intermixed together. I can assume it's happened before, or is Twilight the first? Hmm.
Anyway, Merry Christmas!
Well that was cute

My personal head cannon is that a large number of ponies are decented from Celestia and Luna, more from Celestia for obvious reasons,but that Twilight's family is a "Genetic Nexus" point. Basic!y "Day Ponies" are related to Celestia and "Night Ponies" are related to Luna. Twilight's family is a ultra rare 50/50 genetic split, having insane inherent magic power. Of course same head cannon holds that Cadance is a time displaced daughter of Empress Amore of the Crystal Empire, which is why Flurry has such powerful genetics, being related to both Princesses by Shining Armor and Empress Amore being her Grandmother.

It's a shame Hasbro never expanded upon their family origins. We only know they have no children or parents of their own which is a real shame. I suppose headcanon is all we have for now.

I don't know about Twilight being Celestia's n-th generation great granddaughter, but I do concede that your idea about Flurry Heart makes sense (and I have read elsewhere similar ideas regarding Cadence's family history.)
Happy Hearth's Warming to you as well. This was a wonderfully sweet chapter and that ending was d'awww-ful.
Good on Celestia with Lyra, shame that ponies can't all at least try to live up to the ideals of harmony.
DAAAAAAAAAAAWW!!
I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope she shows it to luna when she's freed. Maybe with some snuggles. I love how you've written the two sisters struggle. It shows.
I also love how they are mates ^^ and can't wait to see that flourish

I think it is still Cadance at this Point.
Of course, it is a Bit difficult to tell when everypony still treats her the same as in a God-Regent (with obvious exceptions)
Twilight's Lineage seems to be like in Dune. A Harkonnen bred to an Atredis could have sealed the breech.

Yeah, because the problem germany faced in wwii was lack of support at home, not the numerous well known logistical, strategic, and numeric weaknesses they had.
The idea that wars are lost at home is a cute one, but it really only applies to a handful of wars throughout history, and it can only even pretend to apply to wars prosecuted by democracies.
This was a wonderful note to catch up to the story on, after the haunting tension of the previous installments. But... what has happened since we last saw Shining Armor? Horse Vietnam has not been kind to them.
I'd had this story on my wait to read list for some time, and I'm glad I took the time to finally add it to my tracking list. I can't wait to see where this goes.
aw come on!
i randomly stumble on your name and now i want to go play DF again
Must have been one heck of a Christmas dinner.
I liked this chapter. There's always something...nice about seeing Celestia getting a chance to get out and be something different than the untouchable symbol on a golden throne.

Was a real killer.
Nah, in reality it's I had 90% or so of the next chapter was written but then I realized I did a very, very important thing very, very wrong in the chapter and decided to rewrite it. I am now spending alot of my time thinking about just how to make the reveal perfect, and rewriting the entire chapter a few times. It's relatively near completion, at least?
In any case, I'm glad you liked the chapter - I'm also a big fan of stuff like that.

It's always a bit sad to hear this—someone went to quite some extent to write something nice and then has to do it all over again due to some mishap. Glad to hear it's been resolved, though, and looking forward to it.
Do you usually release chapters once ready or do you prepare some in advance? Your rather rapid pace in early December seems more like the latter.

I almost always release chapters when ready. Periods of high activity usually mean I'm outputting those chapters as they get written and I finish editing them.
Have the last like nine chapters happened in a much smaller timeframe than I am thinking they did? Unless a LOT happened at once and I just didn't notice I'm kind of amazed that some kind of notification hasn't made it home re:Shinings sort-of-death/probable hospitalization
This was another wonderful chapter. And bonus points for linking anything from Mr. William's Christmas album (I don't know how many times I played that growing up.)

Glad to hear it.

There is a reason for this, will be discussed in the next chapter.

Happy to hear you like it! I've always loved a good bit of Christmas music.

In all seriousness, I'm looking forward to it, whenever you're ready to go.
Half a year of no new chapter.
Is this dead then?
Just gave this chapter a re-read before continuing, and it's still ridiculously cute.
