Twilight is in freefall. She's now a princess, the ponies she thought were her family possibly... aren't. Her life has been upheaved in one fell swoop and she's got no idea how to handle it.
If there's a silver lining to all of this, it's that she's got a hyperactive colorful pink pony that'll stick by her side, no matter what.
Princess Luna can relate to her daughter. After all, a thousand years ago she was in a very similar situation herself.
Warning: Contains TwiPie, Twilight-Is-Luna's-Daughter, Princess Rules, and a copious amount of juggling.
Chapters (13)
This should be an interesting fic, and Luna being the mother of Twilight, ayy? Not bad idea.
this is probably one of the coolest au concepts ive ever seen, also this was really well written!!! alsoalso the adoption paper part hit like a truck blazing down the highway at triple the speed limit
History nerd celestia is adorable and I love the way you made g5’s additions to the lore feel integrated into g4’s setting

The fantasy nerd in me has a weakness for ancient technologically advanced civilizations destroyed by their hubris.
I can't believe Luna left her child at a rest stop bathroom...
LET'S GOOOOOOOO
Good shit so far, I continue to absolutely adore your style and humor and cannot WAIT to see more Twippy as this continues :)
That's funny.
What?
I'm sorry, what was that last one?
So was Twilight in some kind of coma?
LOVING THIS
We're so back!
.... What?
... That seems violent.
How did she explode? Like was it just a regular explode where not a single part of her was left behind? Or was it a gorey explosion?
You made me curious.
Did all these Alicorn die violent deaths?
Your really taking full advantage of that Teen rating, aren't you?
... Im jealous.
I feel like Twilight would be more upset at Celestia then Luna. Also leaving her with a different family?
Why does that always happen anyways? In alot or stories I've seen where Celestia or Luna is Twilight's mom, they always just put her in with a different family to hide the fact she was born from one of the Alicorn Princesses just for it to be revealed later on. They do give some good reason as to why but I just don't understand it in general.
Please just let her speak.
She certainly took it better then what is expected.
Well this is an interesting story. I do like stories where Twilight is either born from either Celestia or Luna or adopted, but I always hated how Twilight is just sent to a different family, but nothing can be done there I suppose. Overall great story and I am excited to read more.
Welp, next time She's with her current parents is gonna be awkward, I imagine a royal order was given to keep things quiet, but still doesn't change the fact they knew and she did not.
Ah, this is back in time.
...
Hmm, I like this version of Luna.
Is this a reference to something?
Baller chapter.

Big Top'd give you a A- for that pun, provided it was your major.
Not even the first date and he's creampie'd the Princess.
Didn't realize such tastes were genetic... Well either that or Luna provided some sort of subliminal imagery for Twi in the bunker to ensure she held up tradition.
Though... if Twilight was chosen as Celestia's student because of her lineage... what would that mean for Sunset shimmer? probably nothing since she isn't tagged. Though it would be funny if Celestia was trying to locate one of Luna's lost descendants through testing their magical aptitude.
"Alright, Sunset has mastered every magical aptitude test and gone above and beyond!" though her friendship skills are lacking
"Now I just need her to complete the final trial. If she passes, it proves she is of the alicorn bloodline and worthy to fulfill my next stain glass window!"

"So what was it you wanted to test me on Princess Celestia?"
"Something simple, but nonetheless very important, I want you to tell me what you think of this picture."
"That's a clown"
"And... does it evoke any feeling?"
"Um... like are we talking self-reflectively? or more the state of entertainers in pony society?"
"No, I mean... Do you get any, ehm, sensations while looking at it?"
"Oooooh.... is this one of your pranks? You know I always appreciate the effort, but I'm not one for comedy"
"..."
"Princes Celestia?"
"Get in the mirror."
Bananacus made some interesting magic, that's for sure
I can't help worrying there's a correlation between alicorns who aren't royalty dying horribly.
To be honest, it's pretty obvious. I mean, the last thing you remember is passing out and next thing you know is your by a lake?
... If there was a plot twist in the show where Twilight was Luna's daughter, I honestly wouldn't be surprised.
Coma.
... Ok so I have questions.
Wait nevermind. I think I know what happens. In the first chapter Celestia mentioned she was alive, which is a odd thing too say. Im guessing something was wrong with Twilight, so before becoming Nightmare Moon she put Twilight in a panacea.
I'm not surprised.
Yeah, that's the only reason why I wouldn't be mad at Luna. Plus there's the fact that Luna didn't mean for any of this to happen and there's also the fact that she'd be dead if Luna didn't do what she did so....
Yeah.... This is something else I hate. The problem with Luna being Twilight's mother is in stories where Cadance is featured and adopted as Celestia's niece, it always feels like Cadance is some sort of replacement for Twilight. Like why couldn't Celestia just adopt Cadance as a daughter? I never read the comics so there's probably a reason why but I am unknown to that reason.
It's probably just me anyways.
I dunno what it is, but there's something about this line that just hits right.
What would be the moral implications of Twilight manifesting an emotional support Pinkie Pie in the dreamscape?
12082289
Knowing her it'd probably be the real Pinkie Pie, having fallen asleep and entered their shared dreamspace. Because irreverence.
Wow, that really was a "copious amount of juggling." No wonder this is "T" rated...
I love the build up all came to a giant
YOU'RE ADOPTED
It's just so funny to me lmao
THIS IS SO COOL!
And it's written so well augh!
I can't wait for the 'oh, oh' moment when Luna learns about TwiPie
TBH... this makes me wonder how Sunset Shimmer was handled in this universe///
12082443
I've got a Celestia-Is-Sunset-Shimmer's-Mom fic in the oven (based off an unfinished fic I read), but obviously it's not part of this AU.
holy shit you are FAST with these chapters gahdammmmmm someone give this writer a medal!!!!!!!!
12082450
Thanks, but this was already written in full before I posted it. It's just being proofread.
It seems Celestia was willing to take care of Twilight on her own.
.... What was Luna's reaction when she found out that on Nightmare Night there's a false claim saying Nightmare Moon will gobble up foals?
Ah, I'm guessing this is when Celestia came up with the idea on just making it someone else's problem?
Would you want to send a very close family member to another family? Plus moving her to another family and then turning her into an Alicorn seems very mean. She's gonna outlive her adoptive family and brother.
If questions every arose, she couldn't just say she adopted Twilight? Maybe the excuse being "I always wanted to be a mother"?
That kinda sounds like what happens anyways. She ends up becoming Celestia's student and ends up spending more time with her then she ever did with her adoptive family. Atleast I think so. The stories on this site makes it sound like Twilight has stayed in the Castle nearly 24/7 rarely going outside or spending time with her family.
Yeah, pretty much. Either that or it's a very big coincidence.
Mmmmmmmm, no, I don't think so.
... Maybe.
There's no space here.
12082445
Oh, nice!
A wonderful chapter. I loved baby Twilight. Plus:
I never miss an opportunity to post this:
Pink, fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows.

Ow...
12082454
That makes it even better, because less wait for us!
Lunamom is an old concept up there with Sunbuttmom, but I am loving this take on it, especially the Panacea is a cool new magic item I haven't seen before, at least not with the EATS ALL MAGIC side effect :>
Cadance isn't blood related. Twilight is actually part of the family while Cadance was adopted to it. If Cadance was never adopted then Cadance simply would be an Alicorn who ended up dating captain of the royal guard.
That's an interesting way to look at it.
... I mean... I guess in a way it is.
Technically, even getting bullied by your crush can also be seen as romantic. Anything can be seen as romantic in a way.
"mime".
Perfection.
This is brilliant!
The best fic I've read for a long time - please write more as soon as you can
I've heard of the great Peritwinkle
Who giggles and laughter he'd sprinkle
He was the big loon
Who romanced the moon
And died before getting a wrinkle.
12082881
"They met in an official capacity. He made her smile and she became his muse" is as classically romantic as it gets! Those pies were basically roses with added personal flair! I love this a completely normal amount!
12083084
Hmm, good point.
12083088
12082977
wait.. a limerick with sprinkle in it, that ISN'T dirty? I am disappointed...
Wait. But didn't they say they just became Princesses? And the nobles are already acting like complete jerks!?
Exactly.
... I want to say something here, but I honestly don't think she could have phrased it any better.
Ok good, he got the same idea, it wasn't just me.
She's the princess of the night and she can't even fully understand what she just said?
Ah, so that's where Twilight got it from.
... Give me a minute...
Alright where were we.
"Your".
And that's how Twilight was made!
I wonder if Luna's doing that on purpose, but I'm not sure which possibility is funnier. They're cute together.
12083761
I flip-flopped on whether or not she's aware, settling on clueless. Both might be nerds of varying flavors, but Twilight has to get her social introversion from somewhere.
I think the fact Twilight almost referred Luna as mom means she is close to accepting the fact. Also as for Applejack, she really needs to learn that some ponies just aren't ready to tell the full truth to everything. Like for example keeping a relationship a secret to friends or family, or maybe depressing news that you have a fatal disease slowly killing you. Y'know, that sorta thing.
Edit: that part about Twilight being close to accepting the fact that Luna is her mom might have just been delayed, by a lot.
Ah... I don't think Twilight was fully ready for that part yet...
Hah hah! That's funny.
Oh come on, you had to have known this was gonna come at some point. It's Twilight. And frankly, she makes some good points. Im curious to.
... Night Light, your a dumbass.
Also I really hate this one line. You think just because she has the title princess that's why she is arguing to you like that? No, this isn't an argument between 2 princesses, this is an argument between family and someone who is justifiably mad.
... Well talking back to someone who has a right to be mad isn't gonna help. To be honest, I'm disappointed in Night Light and Celestia.
I'm also a little disappointed at Twilight for not making these points in front of her family.
I'm also slightly afraid that history is gonna repeat itself and Twilight becomes the next Nightmare Moon. Of course I doubt Twilight will be banished or anything, her friends and family will probably end up calming her down and then the story ends in a happy ending, but she would still end up turning into the next Nightmare Moon regardless. I really hope it doesn't come to that.
Tomato bisque is so gooooooood~
And yeah, I don't know how they thought having dinner with everypony was a good idea. Even if they didn't know Twilight would react like that, they had to give her time to adapt and support her as she comes to terms with her new reality. They just dropped a few bombs on her and expected her to be fine and dandy. Probably lulled into a false sense of security because things were going well initially, but Twilight needs time.
Sucks that Pinkie couldn't help, and now she's hurt, too.
Oh, well. I look forward to the healing.
