Celestia had come to hate the fragrance of dark coffee. Because it had meant Twilight was up. 

Chapters (13)

So, is Celestia turning into a coffee hater so much that she bans it in Equestria? Maybe I'm overthinking it though.

alright a nice start let's see where you bring this

Cue the music. >^_^<

You mean this music? :trollestia:

Imagining Twilight giving Celestia a lecture about how coffee is a reflection of the life of a true mare.

"You know who drank Coffee Twilight? Nightmare Moon"

That's a Hitler ate Sugar argument right there.

Celestia should know that coffee in fact a fruit tea.

'It was just black coffee.'

As it should be, only way to drink it.

When your a god queen trying to influence your ward, what works works lol

Better Twilight than Pinkie

True. Logic sometimes can take a backseat.

There is historical precedent for this sort of situation, though. In 17th Century England, a common feature was the chocolate house (which functioned rather like a tavern except chocolate was drunk instead of alcohol). King Charles II disliked them, and issued a decree stating that people were not to attend them.

The public ignored him.

But as was shouted for all in Canterlot to hear by Princess Celestia her-majestic-self, Princess Celestia hates tea.

I loved this short story. I will save it. I'm a coffee lover, but also a tea lover. And I share in her troubles, haha. I don't miss the worse parts of being a student, but I do like studying as much as Twilight.

I prefer the jazz version myself

Why does this entire chapter feel like a reference to Grimes' role in Black Hawk Down?

Celestia clenched the cup around her hooves

That's a weird shape for a cup.

LMFAO I fixed it, my bad

It's All in the Grind Seismore. Cant be too fine cant be too coarse.
This my friend is a science

Oh, I really like where this is going. Keep it up! I can't wait for the next chapter! :twilightsmile:

“I didn’t see much of my parents after I got my cutie-mark," Twilight said in an even tone, that didn't show any hint of resentment or enjoyment about speaking of the topic of her parent's involvement when she was younger. She was indifferent. Completely indifferent.

Yeah. And whose fault was that? I refuse to think Celestia would do that. I've always hated this idea that Twilight basically abandoned her family when she got her cutie mark. Or they abandoned her.

Honestly, me neither. I don't want to push the blame on either parties because ultimately I think it would be because of conflicting schedules. I'm going to tread lightly with the way I write the topic because it is up to speculation and I do not want to paint one side as the villain when that is simply not the case.

I'd say more of the fault would lie in Celestia and Twilight's parents considering Twi was still a filly at the time, and them, her caretakers that would watch over her and control her living conditions. Twilight would probably assume some responsibility herself for neglecting her parents after she matured though, not dissimilar to the situation with Moondancer.

This is honestly one of my favourite aspects of Twilight that's never touched upon all that much since it's borderline Fridge Logic - the fact that a lot of her relationships with people are surprisingly complex and loaded with all sorts of implications just in canon if you start to think about them for a bit. The titles beared, the actions taken, the things unsaid - her draconic assistant/brother/son(?) is just one of many loaded relationships that come to mind.

Despite more dramatic or dark fics, I find the most compelling takes of these relationships are when things are done with no malicious or deceptive intent. They just... occurred with only hindsight to tell that the results should have been obvious. There's something more poignant about that, and it sounds like this is what it's shaping up to be. I'm loving this soft slice of life laced with mild melancholy.

I'm sorry, the only thing I'm taking away from this is the fact that there used to be taverns that sold CHOCOLATE to drink in the past. :pinkiegasp:
That's like something you'd see a kid in a cartoon imagine what being a grown-up is like. That's wild to know that it's actually real. :rainbowlaugh:

It's also wrong. Twilight's flashback during her BBBFF song has her levitating a book in front of her as she walks. That kind of nonchalant magic use was beyond her until after she became Celestia's student. So clearly she still had regular contact with her family, even if she didn't stay with them anymore.

The 17th Century was a pretty wild time.

Seeing Celestia worried about Twilight like that makes my heart melt :fluttercry: :heart: The moment Luna said "Chrysalis" she showed her mama bear side.:twilightsmile:

A beautiful fic!

People have this weird 'attachment' thing... quite illogical.

Humans are just tools you use up for your own purposes and throw away when they've outlived their usefulness! (Alondro goes on to have a horrifyingly successful career in global banking...) :fluttershbad:

She shook her head, “I didn’t want to be a brother–”

Umm, excuse me? I think you got an extra letter in there, somewhere.

That was a good chapter goodluck with the next one.

Thank you! I appreciate it!! :)

What is the point of being so powerful when you are irritatingly powerless?

Ouch!

Sorry, Celestia.

You can't get anything past your younger sister.

Poor Twiggles....

“I didn’t see much of my parents after I got my cutie-mark," Twilight said in an even tone, that didn't show any hint of resentment or enjoyment about speaking of the topic of her parent's involvement when she was younger. She was indifferent. Completely indifferent.

Again, ouch!

Poor Twilight.

Realistically, all of Twilight's adventures would take a toll on her.

I'm not surprised Celestia would feel maternal rage toward Chrysalis.

The fiend imprisoned her niece, made her student look like a fool, imprisoned her student as well, and sacked her city.

Even the toughest people have a breaking point.

I am glad Celestia is helping Twilight through her issues.

That was a good chapter.

Several Spelling and Grammatical Errors, but otherwise a nice read.

She nodded, “Truly beautiful. The love between mother— mentor and student, is truly heartwarming!” Luna said, though she tried to slur the words together to not make them noticeable it just brought more attention to it.

Freudian Slip right there....

You want” in a valiant display of courage.”

As Luna wandered around the space she came across photographs. Most featured her family who she had met on one occasion prior, and the others were with her sister.

Her sister, who seemed somewhat unapproachable to most, not because she was intimating, but rather because of the image she needed to uphold, but within these photos she held so much joy. Not the facade she had seen time and time again, but a genuine enjoyment to be with this studious filly.

Building a snow pony, eating donuts, star gazing, a low-quality image of her stars, and tea parties where Twilight seemed to be pictured with a scowl. That one made her laugh when she got to it.

Luna may have been gone for a thousand years, but knowing your sister has developed maternal love for someone is a timeless thing.

Luna took everything in, discovering the photographs had been as if she unlocked another life Celestia withheld from everyone, including her.

Grammar seems to be breaking down quickly in this fic.
"How could you have oversight this?"
First few chapters seemed fine, but it really seems the author is barreling through setpieces without regard to overall readability.
I'll come back to this later, if I've heard they recruited an editor.
