Description: As she prepares to lift the sun to its apex, to usher in the solstice and bring the Summer Sun Celebration to its climax once more, Princess Celestia embraces the vision of the Equestrian summer that it places before her.
In the vision the summer she is birthing plays out around her, and as a happy phantom she walks through the summer stories of the lives of Twilight, Spike, the other bearers of the Elements of Harmony, their families and loved ones, and even her own sister, Luna. As she does so, she thinks on this world, her role in it...and the gift she's given it.

@terrycloth I warned you about stairs, granny.
ReplyDeleteI told you, pony.
This is a beautiful story.
I can't really describe this. TH=here's nothing exceptional I can pick out about it... and yet, as a whole, it is wonderful and beautiful. Absolutely an incredible story.
ReplyDeleteWas I the only one who expected Pinkie Pie would at least wink at Celestia when she appears in her vision?
ReplyDeleteVery well written, like the style not the usual story but a very n1 Third-Person overlooking view, very hard to describe, why it is awesome but it just made my moment.
ReplyDelete"Summer time…and the livin' is ea-sy…"
ReplyDeleteA happy, warming Celestia fic that leaves you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside! A very welcome change from all the grimdark tyrant fics out there!
ReplyDeleteAs I've said elsewhere, I particularly like fictions that portray Celestia well. You wrote a nice story which left me feeling very happy indeed. Five stars!
ReplyDeletePrankster Applejack? Delightfully surprising.
ReplyDeleteI would describe this as, "The most epic slice of life fic ever." So far as depicting Celestia as a loving goddess goes, you pretty much can't top this. The style may be a tad repetitive for some tastes, but is standard for this type of fiction. Really, it's the very definition of "feelgood". You can't not feel good for having read this, and yet I got choked up by the end. Not to mention the implications are astounding.
You remain a tribute to the fandom.
