It is a common belief that with immortality comes a warped perception of time. The years blend together and decades pass in a blink of an eye.
Four hundred years after Luna's banishment, Princess Celestia wishes that those rumors were true.
Inspired by the 4everfreebrony's cover of Cyril the Wolf's "Millennium Alone".

While I haven´t read it so far, I instantly thought about that Song and I was right. It is inspired by it
Is the pink filly an apparition? Maybe a shadow of Celestia? o.o
I thought the jeweller convo was interesting. I hadn't thought that back then, it probably would be a big risk taking your business elsewhere when nobody knows who you are!

Yes, that's what I had in mind while writing. The pink-maned filly is supposed to be a figment of Celestia's mind, a result of spending the last centuries practically alone with the consequences of what she believes to be her foolishness.
Good story. And really shows what the princess each were thinking when they were alone from each other.

same, am going to read just because of that
nice, i liked it. very creative with the dreams aspect of it
At first glance, I thought that the pink filly was a very young Mi Amore Cadenza, but then it dawned on me (pun only partially intended) what was actually happening and the Luna portion solidified it.
Luna's inner child brings up a good point, if Luna was totally lost to the Nightmare, why would it bother with "helping"?
The Nightmare was either a reflection of Luna's darker character traits brought to life or a creature from beyond the veil and one thought I've had is that when she talked of the Night lasting forever it wasn't a threat of merely raising the moon eternal although that in of itself could have a whole host of problems, it was a threat to snuff out all light from the realm/world both literal (the Sun) and metaphorical (love, charity, friendship,etc.)
Despite being a fic-binger myself I somehow never made a fimfiction account until today.
FWIW this is definitely a well-written fleshed out version of what was in my head when I wrote it. Particularly the part about Luna. I know I ask a lot of Celestia in my lyric but it's inspired by how Luna felt for that thousand years.
It's amazing to see a song I wrote so long ago have new life. This was a treat.

Thank you, that means a lot. I'm glad to hear that it lines up with what you had in mind. After all, this fic exists only because of how much emotion your original song (and 4efb's cover) managed to convey.
This was pretty good, I quite enjoyed it! What got my attention the most was Celestia's characterization, I got some really strong season 1 vibes from her. I admire the way you managed to portray her quiet dignity in carrying her pain in secret, it's almost motherly in nature, I'd say. Her act of kindness towards one of her subjects speaks quite eloquently of the love she holds for them without directly stating it, which endeared me quite quickly to your vision of Celestia and made the following moment all the more heartwarming and saddening. You had a pretty cool idea in showing both sisters' lone predicament. Luna is a bit trickier to show considering how limited her actions are, but you did a pretty clever thing in showing her tragedy first and then her act of unbiased goodness, which serves as a parallel between how both of them care for their subjects while keeping each other in mind. In that regard, I was quite impressed, you established a narrative dynamic that I believe paid off quite well.
The story feels closer to a vignette representative of a situation rather than of a story on its own, which is completely fine by me, and it did a good job on that front. These kinds of tales tend to be more subdued in tone and impact, but whenever they are done well they contribute to a larger collective narrative, and you did well in that regard. Good job, Anon!

I'm very glad you liked it and that the S1-like characterization of Celestia came through. Not only due to the fic taking place before the show's timeline but also because those earlier seasons are where I draw the most inspiration from. Maybe I shouldn't be saying this, but Luna wasn't initially going to appear in this fic; even though it ended up being a central part of this story, the idea to contrast and draw the parallels between the Sisters only came to me as I was finishing Celestia's part.
Well, you're right that this is barely a story. It was never meant to conquer Fimfic or anything like that. For one, I was inspired by the song. But other than that -- and perhaps more importantly -- I wanted to contribute my own small take to the massive pile of ideas regarding the show's arguably most iconic tale. Especially since many of the retellings of that story dismiss or ignore the length of time that Celestia was forced to spend waiting, which was not unlike her sister being stuck on the moon.
