It's just another day in Canterlot as Octavia performs a small concert. And afterwards, a fan comes up, expressing much interest in the musician.....


This story is my contribution to the Lunaverse Hearts & Hooves Day 2013 event.

Really, really well done. Congratulations.

I'll be honest, my first reaction to this was, it can't work, not even as crack. Well was I wrong! This was great! Enjoyable, cute and very interesting. Definitely leaves you pondering just what takes place after.

Now I really, really, REALLY want to see a continuation.....even though there probably will never be one.

It also wouldn't make narrative sense but still be interesting to see Octavia actually ASK why Celestia loved the song and have a discussion with her about it before giving an answer to Celestia's question

Wow. This is kind of amazing. The way that Corona reacted to Octavia's performance was really moving.

Octavia's reactions to being near Corona were pretty much as expected. Wibble. Faint.

2125307 This. God I'd love to see this continued/made canon. Absolutely perfect!

Great concept and surprisingly less cracky than could be expected! Corona's reaction to The Symphony is a very interesting subject to explore, and I can see how it can play an important part in Celestia's future redemption. I think, it can be integrated in canon, possibly without romance part, if you want to play safe.

I'm sorry, but you...lost me right after the first part. Usually most people expect stories to explain every aspect of what they are reading and what is to come, save those whose meaning is meant to be deliberately left alone. Was this story only meant for followers of the group, those who actually know who this Corona is? :unsuresweetie:

Pretty well-written I might add, though, but my previous complaint is what confused me the most. You'll have to excuse my idiocy on the subject matter as I just found this story by aimlessly browsing through the site.

This is almost exactly what I was hoping GrassandClouds would've done for an epilogue to Symphony for Moon and Sun with Corona/Celestia actually saying what she thought of the piece or hearing the piece for herself. That said I wish you had taken a softer approach here. Not made Celestia threaten anyone and just had her attend the concert already in GrassandClouds's work and even see her sister there. That I think, and the awkward fan she portrayed as a normal pegasus to begin this would've been a better story and showed a struggling and sad Celestia to go with the villianess that exists in the Luna-verse. There's room for both character perspectives and madness shouldn't always trump Celestia's old personality especially when exposed to the beauty of that work of music that was described.

Overall though this was a great story and a wonderful telling. Thanks so very much for sharing.

Very beautifully done. I confess I knew who iut was right away but that didn't alter my enjoyment in any fashion, simply enhanced it.:pinkiehappy:

actually, if the author consents to it, I might be interest to pick up a continuation of it myself (as an AU of the AU that is the lunaverse).....I have to see if I have time and wherewithal to do it, though.....
hmmm....

I apologize. I will admit I could not find a good way to explain things without bogging down the story with an infodump. Well, without telling people to read other stories from the Lunaverse.

Here's a brain twister for ya: What if the awkward pegasus was how Celestia really felt, and only pulled the powerful deadly fear inducing stuff out when she realized she had given herself up?

2124958>>2125091>>2125444>>2125620>>2126313>>2128406

Thank you. Thank you so much.

2126168>>2130637

We'll see.

And yet she showed the ease with which she could have teleported away once she gave herself up, and then that doesn't fit so well considering the later material where she shows she feels attraction to her in whatever warped way...If that's the way you wanted to portray it she shouldn't have looked happy she was inspiring fear. Hell, I don't think Corona likes fear as a whole anyway. She thinks she's the ponies rightful beloved queen. And if they aren't fighting against her why fear her?

2133772


What, and risk not being able to meet the pony of her dreams ever again? Sometimes you work with what you got, and fear is the resource Celestia has.

2133839
But she's the hero of the piece. Her evil sister has lied to ponies about her! She shouldn't inspire fear especially in someone she has feelings for. She should be trying to assuage those fears not use them. Kidnapping her and telling her the 'truth' as she sees it makes sense. But she's not a villain in her mind. She's the hero and the villain is the evil Princess on top telling lies about her. That is kind of what you didn't see from her here. You did a little in the beginning Pegasus portion. But the latter part that kind of fell off.

2135140>>2135158 I can certainly see a startled Corona deciding to use fear in such a way. Next time, however, she'd be more preperred and attempt to woo another way.

Anyway, glad to see a reaction from Corona to The Symphony for Sun and Moon (which is actually my favourite Lunaverse story). Well done.

Sunny Days. Nice. :trollestia:

Oh, that really was quite good.

I've seen some good Octavia x Luna stories, but this is the first time I've seen her paired with Celestia, even if the pairing is somewhat one-sided due to Corona's madness.

Octavia's music can even move the Sun. :trollestia:
