[Inspired by Aurora Dimment for the first two Chapters, and TheMyth for the last two.] To Err is Equine. That is a truth for all ponies, but no more so than Celestia. What happens to Twilight when the mask of perfection is removed? This fic explores the darkerside of Celestia's past. Her mistakes and failures and how it shapes her future, and the lives around her.

Pre-reader: TheMyth

Inspirations: Aurora Dimmet for chapters 1 and 2. TheMyth for the idea doing this story, the last two chapters and making a She Said No done right. Which is a third inspiration for the story, and gets massive a shout out in chapter 4. Since the let down of it's second chapter is what got this whole fic rolling [no offense meant].

Aside:[/u] This fic was 40% Inspiration and 60% me pushing myself as an author. Seriously one of the most hardest pieces I had to write on an emotional level, and was in parts physically painful to write. I hope I did this fic justice, any thoughts, comments, or critiques of this piece are welcome.
