Turning Back the Winter

by Dinkledash
The truth about Celestia's ascension to power

Celestia was just another a unicorn filly. Here is the story of her youth, her love, her ascension to power, and the grief that tears at her heart still. It's no Heartswarming Eve Pageant, that's for sure!

Based on the short story Sunrise.

Teen rated for some intense combat scenes, but not what I would consider to be gore. Also contains some sexual content but nothing explicit, so I don't think it warrants a sex tag.

When you downvote, I would really appreciate it if you would let me know why so I can improve my writing.
