[[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/06/story-sun-is-tired.html The Sun is Tired]] is a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfic, and a subversion/{{deconstruction}} combo of the fandom's popular "[[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen tyrant Celestia]]" [[MemeticMutation meme]]. In the story, Celestia is portrayed as a genuinely kind and benevolent ruler, but for some reason everyone seems to think she is a tyrant anyway; thanks to the secret (and highly illegal) cult of followers and the rumor mill that abounds in their wake. [[SarcasmMode Hilarity ensues]], except it doesn't.

Was ended after a three month hiatus.

!!This fanfic contains examples of:

* AssholeVictim: Snowflake. He ordered his group to beat up Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash even past submission, then took them to the library to show them to Celestia. [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill Not even his bones remained after she was done with him .]]
* BigBad: Celestia. [[SubvertedTrope Except she's not.]]
* BerserkButton: Do not treat, or speak, of Celestia as anything less as an immortal goddess when cultists are around.
* HurlItIntoTheSun: Actually more like "use the sun as a giant nuclear [[KillSat kill sat]]", but close enough. Snowflake is the target.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash suffer through this at the hands of a mob of pegasi. Fluttershy is left shaved bare and unable to walk, while Dash escapes with only broken wings. Both suffer severe injuries which include internal ones severe enough to require surgery to prevent from being fatal.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Celestia ''really'' needs a good PR manager.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: Celestia weaponizes this.
* RevisedEnding: The author eventually grew tired of the story, deleted the last couple of chapters, and added the current ending. The cult? They don't even ''appear'' in the story's final form.
* SecretCircleOfSecrets: The Celestia cult.
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Yes she [[DeathOfTheAuthor is.]]
* StupidEvil: The cult.
* WhatDidYouExpectWhenYouNamedIt: Snowflake.
* VillainBall: The way the cult acts makes you really wonder why they haven't been found out yet.
