For the Moon so Loves the World finally finished! · 2:21am Mar 3rd, 2018
Life has been so busy and crazy lately I haven't had much time for writing, but I really wanted to finish this story. I already knew how I wanted it to end, I just had to get it all down.
I got inspired to write this story when I saw a top ten list on youtube about natural disasters. One of them was a comet hitting the earth, and then an idea popped to mind.
What would happen in the MLP universe if Equestria faced this danger?
I started doing some research about what would happen to the earth if a comet hit, and what would happen to the earth if the sun and the moon were destroyed. It was actually pretty interesting.
Then I had the thought, what would happen to Luna if a comet hit the moon?
Thus, I got the idea for this story. I came across the song in the Epilogue by sheer chance, but I thought the lyrics fit, so I added it in. I think it set the mood for the whole story nicely, as what happened with the sisters really was sad, beautiful, and tragic.
I knew I wanted the sisters to be back together in the end, but since the others still lost them both, I knew the ending would be more bittersweet than a truly happy one. Still, at least in the end they were all able to move on with their lives, or after lives, and be with people they loved.
Hope you all enjoyed!
