Fanfic: Behind Friendship is Magic: A confession from the Royal Sisters.
Behind the scenes of Season 1, this serves as the aftermath of the opener which started all. There were some clichés during the ending and unexplained plotholes like Luna accepting everything all of a sudden or the night guards appearing in Luna Eclipsed. This also implies that Luna didn’t want to appear in front of the cameras during season 1 and this private conversation happened when the mane 6 had their adventures in front of us for comedy and innocent situations.
The opposing figures went through their honest thoughts to solve a royal problem which could cause disharmony after the Rainbow Power event. The lack of empathy and sight of injustice from Luna and the awful sacrifices from Celestia put both sisters into hard periods.
Don´t be confused about that this would have been written around 2010 nor 2011 because this is more based in the Cutie Remark timeline or proper conversations from A Royal Problem than the actual Friendship is Magic. Daybreaker´s existence proved that Celestia is as exposed as her sister for the extreme light as her sister was to extreme darkness.
The intended evil is not who plays one side or another, who looks brighter or darker. It´s just a reminder of avoiding extremes and both sides of the same coin and certainly everybody in power, can get easily corrupted. Celestia accepts and sucks her pride to give Luna another chance because of complete despair in front of an eternal ride that she and her sister cannot avoid. They are not lovers but sisters who at some point, went down to earth and put their differences aside.
Their eternal life is a gift and a curse and the later caused this. I have used some season 7 references, a mention to Goya´s famous picture (Saturn eating his son.It basically implies calling Celestia a cold headed leader but nice looking from the outside for others) and the lines from Celestia come from this song (and it inspired me to write this ending for the sisters). The “ You are all that I have” line to be precise. The root of this fic and basically the 2nd part, which was the only intended one to write, came because of this phrase.
There are a thousand fics about this, Nightmare Moon past and so on but I guess they would find more comfort after so much shit between the Lunar Republic elitism and war between the princesses before 2016. Season 7 ended this trend in the fandom or at least, that´s what I think.
