Would you ever sacrifice everything for someone you love? Would you sacrifice being with someone you love for the sake of someone else you love?
Celestia has loved her sister from the very beginning and the era of Nightmare moon hasn't changed a thing, sadly, the other ponies aren't so like-minded. Luna has returned from cities, towns and villages with rejection scarring her emotions to no end. Well enough is enough and Celestia has a plan to put Luna in their good books once and for all, but it will come at a great cost.

here have my fav i liked this :pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy:

more please :twilightblush:

Acceptable.....have a like

what about Spike? I thought he was getting something too, like I dont know, be the royal guardian or the protector of equestria (once he grows older that is)

Thats a cool story that touches my heart... Selfsacrifice is one of the greates virtues after all:twilightsmile:

Have all my favs! :heart:

how did this story get Featured? :rainbowderp:

This story made me smile and cry. Beautifully well written, Luna's archaism was spot on, and the entire thing was fully believable.
Oddly enough, though this story feels complete, I'm hoping for a continuation.

2058641 its a awesome story sir its touching poor cel and spike what about him no one ever thinks of him

2058804
it is a good story, I'm not disputing that. what I'm confused about is how it got Featured with so few comments/likes.

2058812 pinkie pie magic thats all really

That was a great story, but all dat caps lock was kinda hard to read. :fluttershyouch:

Eh. *wavers hand*

As soon as i read the Name of the story i thought
"Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice"
I kept chanting in my head
:rainbowlaugh:

The caps-lock could've been bolded text. Would've been better in my honest opinion. :pinkiesmile:

Also, I like this story, but something feels off. Missing, almost. I'm not entirely sure what, it feels like maybe it moves... Too fast? Yeah, maybe.

The caps' lcok part was a nightmare, I admit. But the ending was really good. it might have benefited from being separated into chapters. Even better, if Celestia had not told Twilight or us what was going to happen until we found out at the very end. That would have been even more suspenseful.

That cover art is knight of cerebus' avatar.

I would love for there to be a sequel to this. Certainly a well done 1 shot!

2058473 2058804 I added something for him under Twilight's gift, a cave in the mountain for when he reaches full maturity so he won't have to leave.:twilightsmile::moustache:

Not sure if like for incredible drama and emotion and solid writing :pinkiehappy:
Or dislike for Twilestia :trollestia: :twilightblush:

:applejackunsure:

2059394 That made me happy =D

I told myself I wouldn't read this story... mostly because of the sad tags and because i knew with the Sacrifice tag and that picture what would happen...

Although I do have a question, Celestia mentions getting out of the sun early, and or Twilight living to be 1000, and Luna mentions Twilight got "other gifts" from Celestia, is that a reference to twilight's Alicornation at the end of the season?

2059533 no, the amulet. being the archmage gives Twilight the opportunity to research either option, getting celestia back, or waiting a thousand years.

2059410 Twilestia is inevitable, like Blueblood being the perfect example of why breeding is a dirty word. :rainbowwild:

A very nice take, and I could see that happening in canon, although that would mean - GASP!! :pinkiegasp: - the end of the show!! NOOOOOOO!!! :fluttershbad:

2059573 If they use this before a good six seasons worth of canon, I will claim copyright, take their ponies and continue the legacy.:scootangel:

its good but i want more of it. sequel maybe?

I recommend that you just bold the royal canterlot voice rather than caps-locking it, because it is kind of hard to read.

pretty good story, i really liked it.

Dude...I cried.:fluttercry:

2059644 I do that, though I also put it in italics for better emphasis. Whatever floats your boat...

Reading the Royal Camterlot voice in the dark on a bright phone screen gave me a headache....:derpyderp1:

2059644 IF you stood in front of her it would also be hard to hear, no?:trollestia:

any more to the story?

2059889
lol, true :P

2059892 No, but if enough people want a sequel, I might have it in me.

Well... its a pretty good story, but its has faults.
No, i don't mean with spike. I don't care much about him. My real problem is a slight lack of detail. They talk about Luna getting rejected, but you never tell what she suffered. I can probably guess some, but it would have been better to tell what she went through. For example, lets take a line from Luna's speech.

FINALLY, IN THIS CITY OF ALL PLACES, I WAS HURT THE MOST.

That's where she stops. She doesn't explain what exactly hurt her. And i do not see through any of this story anything explaining what she suffered. And there's also another problem.

IN THIS CITY OF ALL PLACES,

"In this city of all places..." that's a very bad choice of words. Canterlot is a noble city. Nobles have a whole 'nother set of instincts, being "make money," "act like pr:facehoof:k's to anyone who doesn't have enough cash," and "get political power." The GGG is a perfect example, heck- Go to any fan fiction on this site with canterlot ponies, and you'll want to punch them all by the end of one chapter. Where there's nobles, there's intolerance. Even with ponies.
Now its still a good story. It just could be better.

why exactly do the Elements work as they did on a pony who was only faking?

2060278 The elements work on the will of their hosts, as a result, they helped Celestia by playing along as Twilight and the others did.

SEQUEL MOTHERFUCKER.
That is all :twilightsmile:

Awsome story! Many tears were shed:raritycry::raritydespair::fluttercry:

2061328 Good to know you liked it.
