Sweet Bun is a lot of things. A baker for royalty, a former member of the Night Guard, a Countess in title and a friend to the Sisters she loves with all her heart.
War changes things quickly. Soon she finds herself locked in conflict between the Sisters, with death and despair an almost certainty as animosity builds underneath the ancient flags of the Solar Empire and the New Lunar Republic. Survival means sacrifice, betrayal, and suffering. In the end, what else is worth striving for but to see harmony reign again.
This is the story of that horrid war, told through the pages of her diary.
This is a dramatic retelling of the 2023 Derpibooru April Fool's Event and part of a collaborative effort of several people to chronicle the events through the eyes of the characters we played along faction lines. Stories of the friends we made, the rivals we respected, and the inevitable push for unity. This is not meant to be an exact retelling of the events, but generalizations and fiction built through roleplay, art, expanding backstories and fun.

Oh, brother. As a proud member of the Solar Empire in the event, I wanna see how this lunar filth cheated their way to a win.

as a proud New Luner Republic person from the event, I can say we did not cheat. There was just WAY to many of us.

That's what cheaters say. I know you night-loving filth had more numbers. It ultimately doesn't matter since nothing came from it but bragging rights.
(and if for some reason people are overthinking this, this is all meant as a joke).
i wish i was on the NRL and not that stupid sun empire. the stupid moderators had to place me on the wrong team and losing team. and i hate losing! i dont even have a NRL badge like everyone else does.

Unity under the sisters is what we should all strive for!
(It's all good friend. We're still throwing around similar shade in the forums from time to time. It's pretty fun so no worries.)
Hey, Count! Finally got around to start reading this.
Nice little preamble here, really sells how the stress of War affected our Countess here despite how short it was, both the war and the opening. And I know it shouldn't, but this made me laugh "That damnable Eclipse still haunts my dreams to this very" considering the unfortunate coincidence of my OC's name. Lmao
Ooo, ominous way to end that. And I like how you have Sweet Bun so familiar with the Princesses which makes sense considering she's the Royal Baker.
Also was wonderin you're just purely AUing this considering you said it's been five years since big something happened, and not sticking to Canon events or just pushing back Twilight taking the throne by a lot.

Kinda AUing it but not necessarily intentionally. Didnt really think too much about where the Event took place in line with the canon timeline, mainly in the haste to put ideas to paper. I do plan to work out a more narrow timeframe amd edit some passages to fit, likely sometime between S5 and S9 if i had to say. 5 years was just me using the time since the end of the show +2 years.
I remember the war.
:D
