[Shipping] Oh hey, someone finally shipped Celestia with her guards. What would we do without Pacce?

At the same time, Luna has to come to terms with a world that has become very different from the one she's used to, especially if she's going to help her sister.Never Too Old To Fall

We did need some Celestia shipping, come to think of it.
ReplyDeleteyou go celestia wooooooooo
ReplyDeleteWait... wasn't this already posted?
ReplyDeleteNot sure how i feel about this one..
ReplyDeleteLuna is completely out of the 30 seconds of character that we actually have of her...
Though i do like that the unusual humour thing was used.
Celestia seems to be decently in character.
@ZI'mNotBotheringTOSpellYourName:
ReplyDeleteOn the other hoof, she was under duress during those thirty seconds. This archaic Luna guarantees.... SHENANIGANS!
hehe oh this is going to be a joy to continue reading
ReplyDeleteI was wondering when this would happen...good going
ReplyDeleteLet me guess, Kick-Off is going to fall in love with luna
ReplyDeleteI'm a guard!
ReplyDeleteI'm dating Fluttershy though, so...
Meh
I detect the presence of hijinks. Yay, hijinks!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry but I'm going to comment before reading:
ReplyDeleteHow can Royalty fall for one of her guards. I don't know about you be I can see a reference to the British Queen's Guards (See A Bird in the Hoof episode) and I can not understand how you can fall for a pony, that look almost the same as any other guard, whose job is to be a statue on stand by.
Wait, don't ALL the guards have white coats, blue manes, and the exact same physical features?
ReplyDeleteOr Luna'll fall for Kick Off, and Kick Off'll be interested in somepony else completely.
ReplyDeleteBut even if it is predictable, it's well written and illicits a few Dawwwww moments. Tis worth continuing.
Celestia dating and Luna as the go between, that's going to be interesting.
ReplyDeleteChances of hijinx most indeed.
@Ike Jager
ReplyDeleteThat is addressed in story.
In the first chapter, in fact.

@Asgard314
ReplyDeleteI have a policy that if the only thing I can think to do is that which is obvious, then I won't do it at all.
In other words, you may be pleasantly surprised.
@Pacce *Evil grin* Oho! Can't wait then!
ReplyDeleteOooh, this might be going somewhere. Looks very promising. Giddy Celestia is rather adorable.
ReplyDeleteMe and a friend were randomly shipping ponies and I never thought I'd see any of the pairs. Well until now.
ReplyDeleteYou go, Celestia! :D
ReplyDeleteThis can easily turn into a love triangle of sorts.
ReplyDeleteJust you wait and see.
It's a good first chapter, I hope to see more in the future :D!
ReplyDeleteso we've got four established character up until now...
ReplyDeletewonder if sun runner will make a come back? i mean, old-timey luna is gonna need an assistant, even in this day and age a princess can't very well snoop about now can she?
can't wait for part 2!
What would we do with out pacce? We'd ship Dash with something...
ReplyDeleteDash X A Rock...
That giant rock that Rarity found when she got her cutie mark... then broke it, along with Dash's heart... and then Pinkie showed up to be a third wheel. Oh Pinkie... your so random.
"Never To Old To Fall"
ReplyDeleteWould you say that if she broke a hip?
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteI never said falling was safe, now did I?
Awright! Is Chapter 2 coming soon? I'm loving this unique pairing!
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling this breaks some sort of union or staff law somewhere. It must...
ReplyDeleteHouyhnhnm? Is dat some Gullivers Travels reference I spy? That was my favourite part of that book.
ReplyDelete@Spanosa
ReplyDeleteWho are they going to complain to?
Actually, that'll be addressed as well.
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteI shall work as fast as I can, but I also want this to be of the best quality I can bring, so that means rereading and editors.
Also yeah, the Houyhnhnms are a Gulliver's Island reference and I owe that to a chap who helped me edit by the name of Binky. He helped a lot actually, gave the idea to close out the chapter with a romantic image.
@Pacce
ReplyDeleteOh, hey Pacce?
We're not all ceremonial guards...
I've done some stuff I'm not proud of under Celestia's rule...
I think it's quite cute, but there's something about the way that Luna seems to swing from one personality to the other that sets me kind of on edge. And Celestia seems a little too eager to disrespect the 'ideals' of Royalty. That said, I'll certainly keep an eye on this, and keep reading. Good job.
ReplyDelete>someone finally shipped Celestia with her guards
ReplyDeleteActually, that was already done quite a long time ago. Look up in one of Ponychan's shipping collections.
I'm going to keep my eye on this fic. I love anything having to do with Royal Sisters!
ReplyDeleteI feel I have to point out that in the show's opening sequence the guard ponies at Celestia's throne are Gray with white manes and tails, Not all guard ponies are white with blue. just thought I should put that out there.
ReplyDelete@Randon
ReplyDeleteIt's implied that all the unicorn guards are gray, while all the pegasus guards are white.

ReplyDeleteYes, just like the hyper-athlete racer Rainbow Dash, the cake-snarfing partygirl Pinkie, the bookish nerd Twilight and the physical laborer Applejack have the exact same build. :)
(Or - you have to account for animation license.)
On the story itself: a nice start! I can see Celestia getting lonely and deciding that now's a good time to start living a little...
Sun Runner is so cute. I hope for some SR x Luna stuff.
ReplyDeleteWow. I hadn't even realized she wasn't really being shipped at all. I've found myself now a fan of Doctor Whoof/Celestia, but this works just as well. I love this new take on an actual "old fashioned" Luna with a less trollestia, more playful Celestia. Congratulations, you've just made your version of Celestia rank up there on my list of lovable ponies.
ReplyDeleteLove it, but bawww at having to wait for the next chapter.
ReplyDeleteI suspect this is actually Celestia trying to set up Luna and play matchmaker.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteThat would be a cruel game.
"Here's a guy you might like, but don't touch him, he's MINE."
Houyhnhnms? Really? So many points for that reference alone.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cute setup. The dialogue between the sisters is great. I love the very subtle differences in Luna's speech patterns, being a thousand years out of date and all. I think I'm interested to see where this goes, the comedic potential is through the roof!
OMNOMNOM
ReplyDeleteMOAR.
So much good fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiic
This is really good...I cant wait for part 2.

RELEASE CHAPTER 2 PLEASE!
ReplyDeleteTGPFluttershy, I agree. Even a ruler needs a chance for romance.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know where to post this, so I thought I'd do it here. Just wanted to say that your alternate ending to Cupcakes saved pinkie pie for me forever and made me need to hug something. Thanks so much!!
